    Abstract To construct a model of the antibody response to COVID-19 vaccination in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and to identify clinical factors affecting the antibody response. A total of 779 serum samples were obtained from 550 COVID-19-naïve RA patients who were vaccinated against COVID-19. Antibody titers for the receptor binding domain (anti-RBD) and nucleocapsid (anti-N) were measured. The time from vaccination, and the log-transformed anti-RBD titer, were modeled using a fractional polynomial method. Clinical factors affecting antibody responses were analyzed by a regression model using generalized estimating equation. The anti-RBD titer peaked at about 2 weeks post-vaccination and decreased exponentially to 36.5% of the peak value after 2 months. Compared with the first vaccination, the 3rd or 4th vaccinations shifted the peaks of anti-RBD antibody response curves significantly upward (by 28-fold [4-195] and 32-fold [4-234], respectively). However, there was no significant shift in the peak from the 3rd vaccination to the 4th vaccination (p = 0.64). Multivariable analysis showed that sulfasalazine increased the vaccine response (by 1.49-fold [1.13-1.97]), but abatacept or JAK inhibitor decreased the vaccine response (by 0.13-fold [0.04-0.43] and 0.44-fold [0.26-0.74], respectively). Age was associated with lower ln [anti-RBD] values (coefficient: - 0.03 [- 0.04 to - 0.02]). In conclusion, the anti-RBD response of RA patients peaked at 2 weeks after COVID-19 vaccination, and then decreased exponentially, with the maximum peak increase observed after the 3rd vaccination. The antibody response was affected by age and the medications used to treat RA.

    Abstract Purpose: The elastase-induced aneurysm (EIA) model in rabbits has been proposed for translational research; however, the adjustment of aneurysm neck size remains challenging. In this study, the technical feasibility and safety of balloon neck-plasty to create a wide-necked aneurysm in rabbit EIA model were investigated.
    Methods: Male New Zealand White rabbits (N = 15) were randomly assigned to three groups: group A, EIA creation without neck-plasty; group B, neck-plasty immediately after EIA creation; group C, neck-plasty 4 weeks after EIA creation. The diameter of balloon used for neck-plasty was determined 1 mm larger than origin carotid artery diameter. All rabbits were euthanized 4 weeks after their final surgery. Aneurysm neck, height, dome-to-neck (D/N) ratio, and histologic parameters were compared among the groups.
    Results: Aneurysm creation was technically successful in 14 out of 15 rabbits (93.3%), with one rabbit experiencing mortality due to an adverse anesthetic event during the surgery. Saccular and wide-necked aneurysms were successfully created in all rabbits. Aneurysm neck was significantly greater in groups B and C compared to group A (all P < .05). D/N ratio was significantly lower in groups B and C compared to group A (all P < .05). Additionally, tunica media thickness, vessel area, and luminal area were significantly greater in groups B and C compared to group A (all P < .05). These variables were found to be significantly greater in group B compared to group C (all P < .05).
    Conclusion: The creation of a wide-necked aneurysm using balloon neck-plasty after elastase induction in rabbits has been determined to be technically feasible and safe.

    Abstract Mixed cryoglobulinemic vasculitis (CV) is occasionally caused by autoimmune diseases including systemic sclerosis. Multiorgan involvement such as skin, kidney, and peripheral nerve involvement is common in mixed CV. However, central nervous system (CNS) involvement is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of overlap syndrome of limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis and mixed cryoglobulinemic vasculitis with CNS involvement. The neurologic deficits and systemic symptoms improved promptly after steroid and cyclophosphamide therapy.

    Abstract Background: Dermatomyositis is an inflammatory muscle disease caused by immune-mediated muscle injury, and central core disease (CCD) is a congenital myopathy associated with disturbed intracellular calcium homeostasis and excitation-contraction coupling. To date, CCD has not been reported to have autoantibodies or coexist with inflammatory myopathy.
    Case presentation: Here, we described the case of a 25-year-old woman who had progressive proximal muscle weakness, myalgia, pruritic macular rash, skin ulcers, and calcinosis. Dermatomyositis was initially suspected based on the clinical symptoms accompanied by elevated muscle enzyme levels, electromyography abnormalities, and a positive antinuclear antibody test. However, the patient's muscle biopsy revealed the characteristic findings of both dermatomyositis and CCD, suggesting that dermatomyositis occurred in this patient with previously asymptomatic CCD. The patient did not have any pathogenic gene mutations associated with congenital myopathy, including RYR1 and SEPN1 in targeted next-generation sequencing. She received high-dose glucocorticoid therapy and azathioprine with a significant improvement in muscle strength.
    Conclusions: We present a case of rare coexistence of dermatomyositis and CCD. Clinicians should be aware that patients with CCD may have inflammatory myopathy that responds well to immunosuppressive therapy.

    Abstract Some cerebral arterial silicone phantoms have been used in preclinical evaluations. However, typical silicone-based phantoms are limited in their capacity to reproduce real contrast filling dynamics of the human cerebral artery. This study aimed to develop a cerebral arterial silicone phantom to analyze the feasibility of real contrast filling dynamics. The fluid circulation phantom system consisted of a cerebral arterial silicone phantom without or with additional devices, a pump, an injection system, a pressure-monitoring system, a constant-temperature bath, and a venous drainage container. Vascular resistance was reproduced with a plastic cistern only or a plastic cistern filled with a sponge pad. Three phantom groups were constructed as follows: a) the cerebral arterial silicone phantom used as the control group (type A), b) phantom with the incorporated plastic cistern (type B), and c) phantom with the incorporated plastic cistern filled with a sponge pad (type C). The contrast concentration-time curve patterns of the three groups obtained from digital subtraction angiography (DSA) were compared. Consequently, the DSA pattern of the type C phantom was the most similar to that obtained from the control group as the reference data, which showed the broadest full-width-at-half-maximum and the area under the curve values and the highest maximum contrast concentration. In conclusion, we could emulate the arterial contrast filling dynamics of clinical cerebral angiography by applying a small cistern filled with a sponge pad at the drainage side of the phantom.

    Abstract Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare, life-threatening hematological disorder characterized by uncontrolled activation of CD8+ T and natural killer cells, leading to a cytokine storm and severe organ dysfunction. Although secondary HLH related to autoimmune diseases usually demonstrates a good treatment response to immunosuppressive therapy for underlying conditions, there is no consensus regarding the treatment in case of unresponsiveness to the treatment. Herein, we present a case of HLH that was unresponsive to high-dose glucocorticoid and cyclosporine treatment in a patient with newly diagnosed systemic lupus erythematosus. The patient's clinical features and laboratory abnormalities rapidly improved with ruxolitinib, an oral Janus kinase 1 and 2 (JAK1/2) inhibitor. This result suggests that blocking JAK-STAT pathway may be a potential treatment option in patients with refractory HLH secondary to autoimmune diseases.

    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the incidence rate and risk factors of bloodstream infection (BSI) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) exposed to medium to high doses of glucocorticoids.
    Methods: This study included 1109 treatment episodes with prolonged (≥4 weeks) medium-to-high-dose glucocorticoids (≥15 mg/day prednisolone) in 612 patients with SLE for over 14 years. Clinical features regarding systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K), immunosuppressant use, and laboratory results were obtained from the electronic medical database. The primary outcome of this study was the 1-year incidence of BSI. The effect of clinical factors on the outcome was investigated using a generalized estimating equation.
    Results: During a total of 1078.64 person-years, 30 cases of BSI occurred, with an incidence rate of 2.78 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.88-3.97) per 100 person-years. Mortality rate of the treatment episodes with BSI was 16.7%, which was significantly higher than that in the other episodes (incidence rate ratio (IRR) 19.59, 95% CI 7.33-52.44). When the incidence rate of BSI was stratified by baseline glucocorticoid dose and SLEDAI-2K score, a higher incidence rate of BSI occurred as disease activity or baseline glucocorticoid dose increased. In the multivariable analysis, SLEDAI-2K ≥20 (adjusted IRR (aIRR) 4.66, 95% CI 2.17-10.00), initial baseline prednisolone ≥ 60 mg/day (aIRR 2.42, 95% CI 1.11-5.32), and cumulative prednisolone dose ≥15 mg/day during the previous 6 months (aIRR 2.13, 95% CI 1.03-4.40) significantly increased the risk of BSI.
    Conclusion: In patients with SLE exposed to prolonged medium-to-high-dose glucocorticoids, the 1-year incidence rate of BSI was significantly higher than previously reported in the general patients with SLE. Severe disease activity, and high-dose glucocorticoid treatment previously or at baseline increased the risk of BSI.

    Abstract The efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment (EVT) for moyamoya disease (MMD) have rarely been investigated. The objective of this study was to summarize the clinical outcomes of EVT for MMD and determine the potential role of EVT in treating symptomatic steno-occlusive lesions in MMD. Reports from January 2000 to December 2021 describing EVT in MMD were collected through a literature search. The search terms included "moyamoya", "stent", "angioplasty", and "endovascular". Data regarding baseline demographics, previous medical history, treated vessel, periprocedural complications, and angiographical recurrence were retrieved. This review included 10 studies with details of 19 patients undergoing a total of 31 EVT procedures. Twenty-one EVTs were performed as initial treatments for MMD, and 10 were performed as additional treatments for angiographical recurrence. The mean follow-up period of the initial EVTs was 9.0±11.9 months, with angiographical recurrence in 11 (68.8%) cases. The mean follow-up period of additional EVTs was 4.3±3.9 months, and seven (70.0%) EVTs showed restenosis of the re-treated vessel. Across all initial and additional EVTs, there were no differences in characteristics between the recurrence and non-recurrence groups. Overall, two periprocedural complications (9.5%) occurred, one vessel rupture and one massive intracerebral hemorrhage with subarachnoid hemorrhage. EVT plays a limited role in the management of symptomatic intracranial arterial steno-occlusive lesions of MMD. Recent advances in understanding the pathomechanism of MMD may urge neuro-interventionists to find a new endovascular approach with better balloon angioplasty or stenting mechanisms.

    Abstract Objectives: Cardiopulmonary involvement is a major cause of death in patients with SSc. This study evaluated the clinical utility and reliability of breath-holding test (BHT) in evaluating cardiopulmonary function in patients with SSc.
    Methods: Seventy-two prospectively enrolled patients with SSc underwent BHT and the 6 min walk test (6MWT), along with measurements of the Borg dyspnoea scale and Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire (SHAQ). Data on pulmonary function test and echocardiography were also collected. Validity was assessed based on the correlations between the best BHT and relevant clinical parameters. To assess the reliability of BHT, an additional 31 patients with SSc underwent BHTs twice within 2 week intervals.
    Results: Mean (s.d.) best BHT time was 38.4 (15.7) s, and 6MWT distance was 473.5 (95.5) m. BHT showed significant correlations with the Borg dyspnoea scale before (r = -0.367, P < 0.001) and after (r = -0.285, P = 0.016) testing, whereas 6MWT were correlated with the Borg dyspnoea scale after (r = -0.351, P = 0.002) but not before (r = -0.113, P = 0.343) testing. BHT time was correlated with diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (%, r = 0.426, P < 0.001), forced vital capacity (litres, r = 0.373, P = 0.001), pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (mmHg, r = -0.272, P = 0.031) and SHAQ score (r = -0.470, P < 0.001), but not with left ventricular ejection fraction (%, r = -0.135, P = 0.263). BHT showed excellent reliability, with an intraclass correlation coefficient (2, 1) of 0.943 (95% CI: 0.88, 0.97).
    Conclusion: BHT, a simple and less time-consuming test, shows excellent reliability and significant correlation with the Borg scale, SHAQ and pulmonary parameters. These results suggest that BHT might be a useful surrogate marker of pulmonary capacity in SSc patients.

    Abstract Purpose: Woven EndoBridge (WEB) was introduced for the endovascular therapy of wide-neck intracranial aneurysms. The safety and efficacy have been evaluated through several meta-analyses. However, these reviews did not cover the expanding indications in detail. Therefore, we aimed to show the changing trends for intracranial aneurysm treatment using the WEB device.
    Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted with PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases. We searched for studies that reported baseline characteristics of aneurysms and the WEB devices, which had treated more than 20 aneurysms consecutively. The pooled proportions of aneurysm indications and used WEB device types were obtained. To evaluate the changing indications for the treated aneurysm size, including the neck diameter, a trend line and linear regression model was measured.
    Results: A total of 27 cohorts were included encompassing 1831 aneurysms treated with the WEB. A total of 86% were used in the four major locations as on-label indications (middle cerebral artery bifurcation; 34%, anterior communicating artery; 26%, basilar tip; 18%, internal carotid artery terminus; 7%). Among off-label indications, the most common location was the posterior communicating artery (8%), followed by the anterior cerebral artery including the pericallosal artery (6%). The median aneurysm size and neck diameter was 7 mm and 4.6 mm, respectively. The WEB device has been used for the treatment of smaller aneurysms than the initial indication. Also, the proportion for ruptured aneurysm treatment was increased up to 15%.
    Conclusion: The mechanical and technical development of the WEB resulted in expanding the indications for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The off-label indications accounted for 14% in total and an increasing number of small aneurysms are treated with WEB devices. Moreover, the proportion for ruptured aneurysm treatment was currently increased up to 14% more than in the beginning.
