Abstract

Although many studies have supported the efficacy of transplacental treatment for fetal supraventricular tachyarrhythmia, the long-term neurodevelopmental outcome after antenatal antiarrhythmic treatment is not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognosis and neurodevelopmental outcome at 36 months of corrected age and the incidence of tachyarrhythmia after birth, following protocol-defined antenatal therapy for fetal supraventricular tachyarrhythmia.This was a 3-year follow-up study of a multicenter trial that evaluated the efficacy and safety of protocol-defined transplacental treatment for fetal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and atrial flutter (AFL). The primary endpoints were mortality and neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 36 months of corrected age. NDI was defined as any of the following outcomes: cerebral palsy, bilateral blindness, bilateral deafness or neurodevelopmental delay. Neurodevelopmental delay was evaluated using appropriate developmental quotient scales, mainly the Kyoto Scale of Psychological Development, or examination by pediatric neurologists. The detection rate of tachyarrhythmia at birth and at 18 and 36 months of corrected age was also evaluated as the secondary endpoint. In addition, the association of NDI at 36 months with perinatal and postnatal factors was analyzed.Of 50 patients enrolled in the original trial, one withdrew consent and in two there was fetal death, leaving 47 patients available for enrollment in this follow-up study. Of these, 45 cases were available for analysis after two infants were lost to follow-up. The mortality rate was 2.2% (1/45) during a median follow-up of 3.2 (range, 2.1-9.4) years. The infant died at the age of 2.1 years. Another infant had missing neurodevelopmental assessment data. In the remaining 43 infants, at 36 months of corrected age, NDI was detected in 9.3% (4/43) overall and in two of three (66.7%) cases with fetal hydrops with subcutaneous edema. Cerebral palsy was noted in two infants with severe subcutaneous edema or ascites at an early gestational age. Neurodevelopmental delay was found in two infants with severe congenital abnormalities (one with tuberous sclerosis and the other with heterotaxy syndrome). Tachyarrhythmia was present in 31.9% (15/47) cases in the neonatal period and decreased to 8.9% (4/45) and 4.5% (2/44) at 18 and 36 months of corrected age, respectively. The median ventricular rate at diagnosis was significantly higher in infants with NDI compared to those without (265 vs 229 bpm; P = 0.003). In infants with NDI, compared to those without, fetal hydrops with subcutaneous edema at diagnosis was more common (50.0% vs 2.6%; P = 0.019) and the duration of fetal effusion was longer (median, 10.5 vs 0 days; P = 0.013). Postnatal arrhythmia and physical development abnormalities were not associated with NDI.This multicenter 3-year follow-up study is the first to demonstrate the long-term mortality and morbidity of infants born following protocol-defined transplacental treatment for fetal SVT and AFL. NDI was associated with the presence of fetal hydrops with subcutaneous edema at diagnosis and longer duration of fetal effusion. Neurodevelopmental delay was detected only in infants with severe congenital abnormalities. Therefore, in infants that have undergone antenatal treatment for fetal tachyarrhythmia and in which there are no comorbidities, the risk of NDI is low. However, in those with fetal hydrops with subcutaneous edema and/or associated severe congenital abnormalities, the risk for long-term neurologic morbidity might be considered somewhat increased. © 2022 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract

To evaluate the usefulness of synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed before the initiation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in predicting whether breast cancers can achieve a pathological complete response (pCR) after the completion of NAC.This retrospective study investigated 37 consecutive patients with 39 breast cancers (pCR: 14, and non-pCR: 25) who underwent dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI and synthetic MRI before the initiation of NAC. Using synthetic MRI images, quantitative values (T1 and T2 relaxation times, proton density [PD] and their standard deviations [SD]) were obtained in breast lesions, before (Pre-T1, Pre-T2, Pre-PD, SD of Pre-T1, SD of Pre-T2, SD of Pre-PD) and after (Gd-T1, Gd-T2, Gd-PD, SD of Gd-T1, SD of Gd-T2, SD of Gd-PD) contrast agent injection. The aforementioned quantitative values and several morphological features that were identified on DCE-MRI were compared between pCR and non-pCR.Multivariate analyses revealed that the SD of Pre-T2 (p=0.038) was significant and was an independent predictor of pCR, with an area under the receiver operating characteristics curve of 0.829. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the SD of Pre-T2 with an optimal cut-off value of 11.5 were 71.4%, 80%, and 76.3%, respectively.The SD of Pre-T2 obtained from synthetic MRI was used successfully to predict those breast cancers that would achieve a pCR after the completion of NAC; however, these results are preliminary and need to be verified by further studies.

Abstract

We report a measurement of the D^{0} and D^{+} lifetimes using D^{0}→K^{-}π^{+} and D^{+}→K^{-}π^{+}π^{+} decays reconstructed in e^{+}e^{-}→cc[over ¯] data recorded by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. The data, collected at center-of-mass energies at or near the ϒ(4S) resonance, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 72 fb^{-1}. The results, τ(D^{0})=410.5±1.1(stat)±0.8(syst) fs and τ(D^{+})=1030.4±4.7(stat)±3.1(syst) fs, are the most precise to date and are consistent with previous determinations.

Abstract

A search for the flavor-changing neutral-current decay B^{+}→K^{+}νν[over ¯] is performed at the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric energy electron-positron collider. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 63 fb^{-1} collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance and a sample of 9 fb^{-1} collected at an energy 60 MeV below the resonance. Because the measurable decay signature involves only a single charged kaon, a novel measurement approach is used that exploits not only the properties of the B^{+}→K^{+}νν[over ¯] decay, but also the inclusive properties of the other B meson in the ϒ(4S)→BB[over ¯] event, to suppress the background from other B meson decays and light-quark pair production. This inclusive tagging approach offers a higher signal efficiency compared to previous searches. No significant signal is observed. An upper limit on the branching fraction of B^{+}→K^{+}νν[over ¯] of 4.1×10^{-5} is set at the 90% confidence level.

Abstract

Using a data sample of 980 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector operating at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e$^{+}$e$^{-}$ collider, we present evidence for the Ω(2012)$^{-}$ in the resonant substructure of Ω$_{c}$$^{0}$ → π$^{+}$ ($\overline{K}$ Ξ)$^{-}$ (($\overline{K}$ Ξ)$^{-}$ = K$^{-}$Ξ$^{0}$ + K$^{0}$Ξ$^{-}$ ecays. The significance of the decays. The significance of the Ω(2012)$^{-}$ signal is 4.2σ after considering the systematic uncertainties. The ratio of the branching fraction of Ω$_{c}$$^{0}$ → π$^{+}$ Ω(2012)$^{-}$ π$^{+}$ ($\overline{K}$ Ξ)$^{-}$ relative to that of Ω$_{c}$$^{0}$ → π$^{+}$ Ω$^{-}$ is calculated to be 0.220±0.059(stat.)±0.035(syst.). The individual ratios of the branching fractions of the two isospin modes are also determined and found to be B (Ω$_{c}$$^{0}$ → π$^{+}$ Ω(2012)$^{-}$) x B(Ω(2012)$^{-}$ → $\overline{K}$ Ξ$^{0}$) / B(Ω$_{c}$$^{0}$ → π$^{+}$ K$^{-}$Ξ$^{0}$ = (9.6±3.2(stat.) ±1.8(syst.))% and B (Ω$_{c}$$^{0}$ → π$^{+}$ Ω(2012)$^{-}$) x B(Ω(2012)$^{-}$ → $\overline{K}$$^{0}$ Ξ$^{-}$) / B(Ω$_{c}$$^{0}$ → π$^{+}$ $\overline{K}$$^{0}$Ξ$^{-}$) =(5.5±2.8(stat.) ±0.7(syst.))%

Abstract

We report the first search for the penguin-dominated process $B_{s}^{0} \rightarrow \eta^{\prime} X_{s\bar{s}}$ using a semi-inclusive method. A 121.4 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ integrated luminosity $\Upsilon(5S)$ data set collected by the Belle experiment, at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider, is used. We observe no statistically significant signal and including all uncertainties, we set a 90\% confidence level upper limit on the partial branching fraction at 1.4 $\times$ 10$^{-3}$ for $M(X_{s\bar{s}})$ $\leq$ 2.4 GeV/$c^{2}$.

Abstract

Boron nitride (BN) films with a wide variety of nano-network structures (sp 2 and sp 3 bonds) were prepared using a reactive plasma-assisted coating technique, and their sputtering behavior was investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nanoindentation analyses confirmed the presence of sp 2- and sp 3-bonded phases. Subsequently, the thickness change after plasma exposure was studied for various BN films. The sputtered depth of the prepared BN films after plasma exposure was shallower than that of the SiO2 films. While no clear change was observed in the FTIR spectra, the leakage current and dielectric constant changed significantly owing to the surface modification during plasma exposure. The modified layer underneath the sputtered surface contained local defects that acted as carrier trapping or hopping sites. Sputtering behavior analysis, in combination with electrical measurements, is a useful methodology for designing a wide variety of BN films.

Abstract

We report measurements of the branching fractions of singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays Λc+→pη and Λc+→pπ0 using the full Belle data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 980.6 fb-1. The data were collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- asymmetric energy collider. A clear Λc+ signal is seen in the invariant mass distribution of pη. The fitted number of signal events of the Λc+→pη process is 7734±263; from this, we measure the ratio of branching fractions B(Λc+→pη)/B(Λc+→pK-π+)=[2.258±0.077(stat)±0.122(syst)]×10-2, from which we infer the branching fraction B(Λc+→pη)=[1.42±0.05(stat)±0.11(syst)]×10-3. In addition, no significant signal for Λc+→pπ0 is found, so an upper limit on the branching fraction of B(Λc+→pπ0)

Abstract

We report the first evidence for $X(3872)$ production in two-photon interactions by tagging either the electron or the position in the final state, exploring the highly virtual photon region. The search is performed in $e^+e^- \rightarrow e^+e^-J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$, using 825 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the Belle detector operated at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider. We observe three $X(3872)$ candidates with an expected background of $0.11\pm 0.10$ events, with a significance of 3.2$\sigma$. We obtain an estimated value for $\tilde{\Gamma}_{\gamma\gamma}{\cal B}(X(3872)\rightarrow J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$) assuming the $Q^2$ dependence predicted by a $c\bar{c}$ meson model, where $-Q^2$ is the invariant mass-squared of the virtual photon. No $X(3915)\rightarrow J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$ candidates are found.

Abstract

We report the results of a first search for a doubly charged DDK bound state, denoted the R++, in ϒ(1S) and ϒ(2S) inclusive decays and via direct production in e+e- collisions at s=10.520, 10.580, and 10.867 GeV. The search uses data accumulated with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. No significant signals are observed in the D+Ds∗+ invariant-mass spectra of all studied modes. The 90% credibility level upper limits on their product branching fractions in ϒ(1S) and ϒ(2S) inclusive decays (B(ϒ(1S, 2S)→R+++anything)×B(R++→D+Ds∗+)), the product values of Born cross section and branching fraction in e+e- collisions (σ(e+e-→R+++anything)×B(R++→D+Ds∗+)) at s=10.520, 10.580, and 10.867 GeV under different assumptions of R++ masses varying from 4.13 to 4.17 GeV/c2 and widths varying from 0 to 5 MeV are obtained.

Abstract

Introduction The previous reports according to sexual activity of aged woman is limited. Sexual activity of aged women would be related to QOL of them. Recently, sexual dysfunction of aged women recognized as Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD). Objective To clarify the sexual activity of aged Japanese women, sexual activity of the female patients who visited a female urological outpatient clinic was investigated. Methods Between June 2010 and August 2018, 404 aged female patients who visit our female urological outpatient clinic and answered the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) were enrolled in this study. The main chief complaint of these patients was pelvic organ prolapse. Self-reported data of KHQ, question number 5a and 5b which ask the patients about the relationship between urine voiding and sexual activity were reviewed retrospectively. Associations between sexual activity (as reported in the questionnaire) and patients’ background, partners status, and change of sexual activity after treatment for pelvic organ prolapse were analyzed. Results The mean age of the patients was 71.0 years, with 80.9% in their 60s and 70s. Sexual intercourse was practiced by 19.7% (n = 77) of all patients with 40.0% in their under 50s, 27.9% in their under 60s, 15.2% in their 70s, and 0% in their 80s. 31.2% (n = 119/381) of patients had their partners. Among the patients with a partner, the percentage who practiced sexual intercourse was 58.0% of all patients with 65.4% and 55.6% of women in their 60s and 70s, respectively. Among the patients who had sexual intercourse, 64.9% had chief complains of pelvic organ prolapse. 71% of patients who had sexual intercourse received surgery and 91% of them was tension-free vaginal mesh (TVM). After the surgery 63.8% of patients continued sexual activity. Conclusion A patient survey revealed the sexual activity of a Japanese older female population who visited a urological outpatient clinic with the chief complaint of pelvic organ prolapse.

Abstract

Introduction 5α-reduced inhibitors (5ARIs) are usually administered to patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, however, whether 5ARIs affect sexual function remains a controversial issue for both patients and urologists. Objective In this study, we evaluated the impact of dutasteride treatment for erectile function in patients with once-negative prostate biopsy and benign prostate hyperplasia. Methods 81 patients with benign prostate hyperplasia were enrolled in a one-arm prospective study. They were administrated 0.5 mg/day of dutasteride for 12 months. Patient characteristics, change of IPSS and IIEF-15 scores at baseline and 12 months after dutasteride administration were examined. Results The mean ± SD age of the patients was 69.4 ± 4.9 years and the prostate volume was 56.6 ± 21.3 mL, respectively. The mean ± SD prostate volume and PSA levels were decreased 25.0% and 50.9%, respectively, after 12 months of dutasteride administration. IPSS total, voiding subscore, storage subscore, and QOL score significantly improved after 12 months of dutasteride administration. No significant change was observed in any of the IIEF scores after 12 months. There was no decrease in EF severity. Conclusion Twelve months administration of dutasteride for patients with BPH improved urinary function and did not increase the risk of sexual dysfunction. Disclosure Work supported by industry: no.

Abstract

Introduction For couples who wish for a baby, sexual activity (though intercourse) is the only way to conceive naturally. However, the sexual activity of men undergoing testicular sperm extraction (TESE) and factors that influence it among affected couples are not clearly understood. Objective To examine sexual activity among infertile men undergoing TESE and identify factors that influenced Methods Married Japanese male patients undergoing TESE were included. Sexual activity during the previous month was surveyed using a questionnaire, and potential predictive factors influencing sexual activity were examined. Results 226 married men who answered a questionnaire regarding sexual frequency were reviewed retrospectively. Patients’ mean age was 35.8 ± 7.5 years (range 23–67) and that of their partners was 32.9 ± 4.5 years (range 23–44). Most couples (n = 193) were in their first marriage, and 33 were re-married. The mean marriage duration was 52.6 ± 42.2 months (range 1–192). Micro-dissection TESE and conventional TESE were performed for 152 and 74 patients, respectively. Overall, the mean sexual activity during the last month was 3.6 ± 2.6 times (range 0–15). Marriage duration was negatively correlated with the frequency of sexual activity (r = −0.23; P < .01). There were no correlations between sexual activity and patients’ age, partners’ age, marriage type (first marriage/re-married), testicular volume, or serum total testosterone concentration. Regression analysis showed marriage duration (odds ratio [OR] 1.01, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.003–1.019, P = .009) and testicular volume (OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.88–0.99, P = .033) were significant predictors of low sexual activity (0–1 times/month). There were no significant differences in sexual activity per month between patients treated with micro-TESE and c-TESE; between those in a first marriage and those re-married; and between patients with Klinefelter syndrome and patients who underwent c-TESE. Conclusions The sexual activity of patients undergoing TESE was almost the same as reported previously. Patients’ age, partners’ age, testicular volume, and serum total testosterone concentration had no correlations with the reported frequency of sexual activity.

Abstract

Using 980 fb−1 of data collected with the Belle detector operating at the KEKB asymmetric-energy eþe− collider, we report a study of the electromagnetic decays of excited charmed baryons Ξcð2790Þ and Ξcð2815Þ. A clear signal (8.6 standard deviations) is observed for Ξcð2815Þ0 → Ξ0 cγ, and we measure: B½Ξcð2815Þ0 → Ξ0 cγ B½Ξcð2815Þ0 → Ξcð2645Þþπ− → Ξ0 cπþπ− ¼ 0.41 0.05 0.03. We also present evidence (3.8 standard deviations) for the similar decay of the Ξcð2790Þ0 and measure: B½Ξcð2790Þ0 → Ξ0 cγ B½Ξcð2790Þ0 → Ξ0þ c π− → Ξþ c γπ− ¼ 0.13 0.03 0.02. The first quoted uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. We find no hint of the analogous decays of the Ξcð2815Þþ and Ξcð2790Þþ baryons and set upper limits at the 90% confidence level of: B½Ξcð2815Þþ → Ξþ c γ B½Ξcð2815Þþ → Ξcð2645Þ0πþ → Ξþ c π−πþ < 0.09, and B½Ξcð2790Þþ → Ξþ c γ B½Ξcð2790Þþ → Ξ00 c πþ → Ξ0 cγπþ < 0.06. Approximate values of the partial widths of the decays are extracted, which can be used to discriminate between models of the underlying quark structure of these excited states.

Abstract

Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a highly aggressive form of non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma. Currently, multi-agent chemotherapy regimens are being used to significantly improve cure rates and achieve complete remissions in BL patients. However, drug resistance can often occur within 6 months in BL patients, contributing to poor prognosis. Mounting evidence suggests that cell adhesion-mediated drug resistance (CAM-DR), caused by the interaction between the bone marrow microenvironment and tumour cells may play an important role in drug resistance to chemotherapy. However, the molecular mechanism underlying CAM-DR in BL has not been identified yet. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanism responsible for CAM-DR in BL cells. We also examined the therapeutic targets of CAM-DR in BL cells and found CD49d and CD49e to be the important adhesion molecules involved. However, CD49a, CD49b, CD11a, CD29, CD18, and CD61 were not found to be associated with CAM-DR in BL cells. Furthermore, we clarified that CD49d- and CD49e-mediated CAM-DR could be attributed to an increase in the expression of B cell leukemia-xL (Bcl-xL) and survivin proteins, and a decrease in the expression of Bcl-2 associated X (Bax), Bcl-2 interacting mediator (Bim) and p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA) proteins via nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) activation. In addition, bortezomib was found to overcome CAM-DR in BL cells by inhibiting NF-κB. Thus, bortezomib may have potential clinical applications in the treatment of CD49d- and CD49e-mediated CAM-DR in BL patients.

Abstract

The experimental results on the ratios of branching fractions $\mathcal{R}(D) = {\cal B}(\bar{B} \to D \tau^- \bar{\nu}_{\tau})/{\cal B}(\bar{B} \to D \ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell})$ and $\mathcal{R}(D^*) = {\cal B}(\bar{B} \to D^* \tau^- \bar{\nu}_{\tau})/{\cal B}(\bar{B} \to D^* \ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell})$, where $\ell$ denotes an electron or a muon, show a long-standing discrepancy with the Standard Model predictions, and might hint to a violation of lepton flavor universality. We report a new simultaneous measurement of $\mathcal{R}(D)$ and $\mathcal{R}(D^*)$, based on a data sample containing $772 \times 10^6$ $B\bar{B}$ events recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+ e^-$ collider. In this analysis the tag-side $B$ meson is reconstructed in a semileptonic decay mode and the signal-side $\tau$ is reconstructed in a purely leptonic decay. The measured values are $\mathcal{R}(D)= 0.307 \pm 0.037 \pm 0.016$ and $\mathcal{R}(D^*) = 0.283 \pm 0.018 \pm 0.014$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. These results are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions within $0.2$, $1.1$ and $0.8$ standard deviations for $\mathcal{R}(D)$, $\mathcal{R}(D^*)$ and their combination, respectively. This work constitutes the most precise measurements of $\mathcal{R}(D)$ and $\mathcal{R}(D^*)$ performed to date as well as the first result for $\mathcal{R}(D)$ based on a semileptonic tagging method.

Abstract

Theories beyond the standard model often predict the existence of an additional neutral boson, the Z′. Using data collected by the Belle II experiment during 2018 at the SuperKEKB collider, we perform the first searches for the invisible decay of a Z′ in the process e+e-→μ+μ-Z′ and of a lepton-flavor-violating Z′ in e+e-→e±μZ′. We do not find any excess of events and set 90% credibility level upper limits on the cross sections of these processes. We translate the former, in the framework of an Lμ-Lτ theory, into upper limits on the Z′ coupling constant at the level of 5×10-2-1 for MZ′≤6 GeV/c2.

Abstract

We report the result for a search for the leptonic decay of B$^{+}$ → μ$^{+}$ν$_{μ}$ using the full Belle dataset of 711 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity at the ϒ(4S) resonance. In the Standard Model leptonic B-meson decays are helicity and Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa suppressed. To maximize sensitivity an inclusive tagging approach is used to reconstruct the second B meson produced in the collision. The directional information from this second B meson is used to boost the observed μ into the signal B-meson rest frame, in which the μ has a monochromatic momentum spectrum. Though its momentum is smeared by the experimental resolution, this technique improves the analysis sensitivity considerably. Analyzing the μ momentum spectrum in this frame we find B(B$^{+}$ → μ$^{+}$ν$_{μ}$) = 5.3 ± 2.0 ± 0.9) × 10$^{-7}$ with a one-sided significance of 2.8 standard deviations over the background-only hypothesis. This translates to a frequentist upper limit of B(B$^{+}$ → μ$^{+}$ν$_{μ}$) < 8.6 × 10$^{-7}$ at 90% confidence level. The experimental spectrum is then used to search for a massive sterile neutrino, B$^{+}$ → μ$^{+}$N, but no evidence is observed for a sterile neutrino with a mass in a range of 0–1.5 GeV. The determined B$^{+}$ → μ$^{+}$ν$_{μ}$ branching fraction limit is further used to constrain the mass and coupling space of the type II and type III two-Higgs-doublet models.

Abstract

Using a data sample of 921.9 fb-1 collected with the Belle detector, we study the process of e+e-→Ds+Ds1(2536)-+c.c. via initial-state radiation. We report the first observation of a vector charmoniumlike state decaying to Ds+Ds1(2536)-+c.c. with a significance of 5.9σ, including systematic uncertainties. The measured mass and width are (4625.9-6.0+6.2(stat)±0.4(syst)) MeV/c2 and (49.8-11.5+13.9(stat)±4.0(syst)) MeV, respectively. The product of the e+e-→Ds+Ds1(2536)-+c.c. cross section and the branching fraction of Ds1(2536)-→D¯*0K- is measured from the DsD¯s1(2536) threshold to 5.59 GeV.
