Detailed demographics play an important role in the development of smart cities. However, especially in developing countries, the maintenance and management of this data is incomplete, which hinders the promotion of smart cities. The objective of this study is to develop a method to create detailed building distribution maps from satellite images, which will serve as a basis for developing detailed demographic data to support the promotion of smart cities around the world. The target area is several areas of Tokyo where validation data is available. We first developed a method for extracting buildings from satellite images and then estimating the building use to determine the buildings where residents are distributed. Both methods use deep learning. As a result, it was possible to extract buildings with an extraction rate (the number of buildings in the automatically extracted building data divided by the number of buildings in the data for verification) of up to 60.3% for the entire target area. In addition, in the estimation of building use, our method was able to classify detached and non-detached buildings with an average accuracy of 78.7% for the entire target area.

Science - Abstract
Lysine acetylation regulates the function of soluble proteins in vivo, yet it remains largely unexplored whether lysine acetylation regulates the function of membrane proteins. Here, the authors map lysine acetylation predominantly in membrane-interaction regions in peripheral membrane proteins and show with three candidate proteins how lysine acetylation is a regulator of membrane protein function.

Science - Abstract
Huntingtin exon-1 (HTTex1) consists of a N-terminal N17 domain, the disease causing polyQ domain and a C-terminal proline-rich domain (PRD). Here, the authors combine electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), solid-state NMR with other biophysical method to characterise the structural differences of various HTTex1 fibril types with different toxicity and find that the dynamics and entanglement of the PRD domain differs among them and that the HTTex1 fibrils can be interconverted.

Physics ,QC1-999 - Abstract
We calculate the parameter that governs the width of the transition zone by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and use it in a phase-field crack (PFC) simulation with the mechanical properties of iron. First, a quantitative evaluation of intactness is conducted by examining the change in atomic conformation induced by crack propagation, whose numerical data are taken from the result of the MD simulation. The spatial distribution of the intactness is fitted to the same function as the damage parameter in the PFC model, namely, an exponential function, by the least-squares method. From this distribution, the transition zone parameter is estimated. The result of the PFC simulation using this newly determined transition zone parameter is discussed in terms of the crack path by comparison with the result of crack propagation analysis based on the MD simulation.

Background: The Global Anticoagulant Registry in the FIELD–Atrial Fibrillation (GARFIELD-AF) is an ongoing prospective noninterventional registry, which is providing important information on the baseline characteristics, treatment patterns, and 1-year outcomes in patients with newly diagnosed non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). This report describes data from Indian patients recruited in this registry. Methods and results: A total of 52,014 patients with newly diagnosed AF were enrolled globally; of these, 1388 patients were recruited from 26 sites within India (2012–2016). In India, the mean age was 65.8 years at diagnosis of NVAF. Hypertension was the most prevalent risk factor for AF, present in 68.5% of patients from India and in 76.3% of patients globally (P

Abstract Mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) and their analogs have emerged as wide-spectrum, stress response factors protective in amyloid disease models. MDP cytoprotective functions are generally attributed to anti-apoptotic activity, however, little is known about their capacity to facilitate the cell’s unfolded protein response via direct interactions with amyloidogenic proteins. Here, we explored the effects of the MDP-analog, humaninS14G (HNG), and the MDP, small humanin-like peptide 2 (SHLP2), on the misfolding of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), a critical pathogenic step in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Our thioflavin T fluorescence studies show that HNG inhibits IAPP misfolding at highly substoichiometric concentrations. Seeded fluorescence and co-sedimentation studies demonstrate MDPs block amyloid seeding and directly bind misfolded, seeding-capable IAPP species. Furthermore, our electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and circular dichroism data indicate MDPs do not act by binding IAPP monomers. Taken together our results reveal a novel chaperone-like activity wherein these MDPs specifically target misfolded amyloid seeds to inhibit IAPP misfolding which, along with direct anti-apoptotic activity and beneficial metabolic effects, make HNG and SHLP2 exciting prospects as T2DM therapeutics. These data also suggest that other mitochondrial stress response factors within the MDP family may be amenable to development into therapeutics for protein-misfolding diseases.

The Neotropical region hosts 4225 freshwater fish species, ranking first among the world's most diverse regions for freshwater fishes. Our NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set is the first to produce a large-scale Neotropical freshwater fish inventory, covering the entire Neotropical region from Mexico and the Caribbean in the north to the southern limits in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. We compiled 185,787 distribution records, with unique georeferenced coordinates, for the 4225 species, represented by occurrence and abundance data. The number of species for the most numerous orders are as follows: Characiformes (1289), Siluriformes (1384), Cichliformes (354), Cyprinodontiformes (245), and Gymnotiformes (135). The most recorded species was the characid Astyanax fasciatus (4696 records). We registered 116,802 distribution records for native species, compared to 1802 distribution records for nonnative species. The main aim of the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set was to make these occurrence and abundance data accessible for international researchers to develop ecological and macroecological studies, from local to regional scales, with focal fish species, families, or orders. We anticipate that the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set will be valuable for studies on a wide range of ecological processes, such as trophic cascades, fishery pressure, the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation, and the impacts of species invasion and climate change. There are no copyright restrictions on the data, and please cite this data paper when using the data in publications.

After observing and investigating the double-exotic (a double-exotic atom is a bound system, in which both oppositely charged components are unstable particles like μ,π,K,…) π+π− atom with the ground state lifetime τ of about 3×10−15 s, the upgraded DIRAC experiment at the CERN PS accelerator observes for the first time long-lived states of the same atom with lifetimes of about 10−11 s and more. The number of characteristic pion pairs resulting from the breakup (ionisation) of long-lived π+π− atoms amounts to 436±61, corresponding to a signal-to-error ratio of better than 7 standard deviations. This observation opens a new possibility to measure energy differences between p and s atomic states and so to determine ππ scattering lengths.

Lysine acetylation regulates the function of soluble proteins in vivo, yet it remains largely unexplored whether lysine acetylation regulates membrane protein function. Here, we use bioinformatics, biophysical analysis of recombinant proteins, live-cell fluorescent imaging and genetic manipulation of Drosophila to explore lysine acetylation in peripheral membrane proteins. Analysis of 50 peripheral membrane proteins harboring BAR, PX, C2, or EHD membrane-binding domains reveals that lysine acetylation predominates in membrane-interaction regions. Acetylation and acetylation-mimicking mutations in three test proteins, amphiphysin, EHD2, and synaptotagmin1, strongly reduce membrane binding affinity, attenuate membrane remodeling in vitro and alter subcellular localization. This effect is likely due to the loss of positive charge, which weakens interactions with negatively charged membranes. In Drosophila, acetylation-mimicking mutations of amphiphysin cause severe disruption of T-tubule organization and yield a flightless phenotype. Our data provide mechanistic insights into how lysine acetylation regulates membrane protein function, potentially impacting a plethora of membrane-related processes., Lysine acetylation regulates the function of soluble proteins in vivo, yet it remains largely unexplored whether lysine acetylation regulates the function of membrane proteins. Here, the authors map lysine acetylation predominantly in membrane-interaction regions in peripheral membrane proteins and show with three candidate proteins how lysine acetylation is a regulator of membrane protein function.

Physics ,QC1-999 - Abstract
Two-proton relative momentum (qpp) and opening angle (θpp) distributions from the three-body decay of two excited proton-rich nuclei, namely Al23→p+p+Na21 and Mg22→p+p+Ne20, have been measured with the projectile fragment separator (RIPS) at the RIKEN RI Beam Factory. An evident peak at qpp∼20 MeV/c as well as a peak in θpp around 30° are seen in the two-proton break-up channel from a highly-excited 22Mg. In contrast, such peaks are absent for the 23Al case. It is concluded that the two-proton emission mechanism of excited 22Mg is quite different from the 23Al case, with the former having a favorable diproton emission component at a highly excited state and the latter dominated by the sequential decay process.

Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine - Abstract
Background The effectiveness of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) has not been demonstrated in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We recently reported significant interaction between the use of ACE-I and/or ARB (ACE-I/ARB) and frailty on prognosis in patients with HFpEF. Purpose In the present study, we examined the association between ACE-I/ARB and prognosis in patients with HFpEF stratified by the presence or absence of frailty. Methods We examined the association between the use of ACE-I/ARB and prognosis according to the presence (Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) ≥5) or absence (CFS ≤4) of frailty in patients with HFpEF in a post-hoc analysis of registry data. Primary endpoint was the composite of all-cause mortality and heart failure admission. Secondary endpoints were all-cause mortality and heart failure admission. Results Of 1059 patients, median age was 83 years and 45% were male. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the risk of composite endpoint (log-rank P=0.001) and all-cause death (log-rank P=0.005) in patients with ACE-I/ARB was lower in those with CFS ≥5, but similar between patients with and without ACE-I/ARB in patients with CFS ≤4 (composite endpoint: log-rank P=0.830; all-cause death: log-rank P=0.192). In a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model, use of ACE-I/ARB was significantly associated with lower risk of the composite endpoint (hazard ratio = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.33–0.83, P=0.005) and heart failure admission (hazard ratio = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.25–0.83, P=0.010) in patients with CFS ≥5, but not in patients with CFS ≤4 (composite endpoint: hazard ratio = 1.41, 95% CI: 0.99–2.02, P=0.059; heart failure admission: hazard ratio = 1.43, 95% CI: 0.94–2.18, P=0.091). The association between ACE-I or ARB and prognosis did not significantly differ by CFS (CFS ≤4: log-rank P=0.562; CFS ≥5: log-rank P=0.100, for with ACE-I vs. ARB, respectively). Adjusted HRs for CFS 1–4 were higher than 1.0, but were less than 1.0 at CFS 5. Conclusions In patients with HFpEF, use of ACE-I/ARB was associated with better prognosis in patients with frailty as assessed with the CFS, but not in those without frailty.

Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine - Abstract
Background Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a chronic and progressive disease, but limited therapeutic strategies are currently available. Although left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (DD) is a prominent mechanism of HFpEF, a certain number of patients with HFpEF have a normal diastolic function (ND) or indeterminate diastolic function (ID). With the progressive nature of HFpEF, diastolic function may change over time. However, the change of diastolic function, its predictor and prognosis in patients with clinically established HFpEF remains unknown. Purpose To investigate the clinical trajectory and outcomes of patients with HFpEF with ND or ID and to identify factors associated with progression from ND or ID at discharge to DD at 1-year follow-up. Methods Using data from a prospective multicenter observational study of patients with HFpEF, we extracted 289 patients with HFpEF with ND or ID at discharge who had echocardiographic data at 1-year follow-up for the re-evaluation of diastolic function. Diastolic function was assessed according to the 2016 American Society of Echocardiography recommendations. Patients were classified according to the absence or presence of progression from ND or ID to DD at 1 year. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death and HF rehospitalization. Results Median age was 81 years, and 138 (47.8%) patients were female. At 1 year, 107 (37%) patients progressed to DD. During a median follow-up of 709 days, the composite endpoint occurred in 90 (31.1%) patients. Compared to patients without progression to DD, those with progression to DD had a significantly higher cumulative incidence rate of the composite endpoint (incidence rate: 11.7/100 person-year versus 23.3/100 person-year, P Conclusion More than one-third of patients with HFpEF with ND or ID progressed to DD at 1 year and had poor clinical outcomes. Age, BMI, and serum albumin were independently associated with this progression. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – National budget only.

Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine - Abstract
Introduction It is important to detect the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation (CA) early, but the method of detection has not been established. The purpose of this study is to determine whether 24-h Holter electrocardiogram (ECG) can predict the recurrence of AF after CA. Methods We studied 336 patients of 497 patients enrolled in EARNEST-PVI trial to investigate whether the total number of premature atrial contraction (PAC) and the maximum number of PAC run by 24-h Holter ECG at 6 months after CA predicted AF recurrence after 6 months. We excluded 86 patients with recurrence by 6 months after CA and 75 patients without Holter ECG at 6 months after CA. Results Median age was 66 years, male were 77% and median follow-up period was 1138 days. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis identified the total number of PAC ≥270 beats and the maximum number of PAC run ≥8 beats as the optimal cutoff for prediction of AF recurrence. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed patients with the total number of PAC ≥270 beats had more frequent AF recurrence than those without (Kaplan-Meier estimated 3-year AF recurrence rate 34% vs. 17%, Log-rank P=0.001) and patients with the maximum number of PAC run ≥8 beats had more frequent AF recurrence than those without (Kaplan-Meier estimated 3-year AF recurrence rate 33% vs. 20%, Log-rank P=0.006). Multivariate analysis revealed that the total number of PAC ≥270 beats and the maximum number of PAC run were significantly associated with AF recurrence (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval] 1.83 [1.16–2.91], P=0.01 and 1.01 [1.01–1.02], P=0.001, respectively) Conclusion The total number of PAC and the maximum number of PAC run on the Holter ECG may be useful in predicting AF recurrence after CA.

This study has aims to determine the age and to estimate the growth parameters using scales of the species. Individuals of Piaractus mesopotamicus (Holmberg, 1887) used in this study were captured in the commercial fishery conducted in the region, along the year 2006. The model selected to express the growth of the species was the von Bertalanffy Sl= Sl∞*[1-exp-k(t-to)]. To determine if scales are suitable for studying the growth of pacu, we analyzed the relation between standard length (Sl) and the radius of the scales through linear regression. The period of annuli formation was determined analyzing the variations in the marginal increment and evaluating the consistency of the readings through the analysis of the coefficient of variations (CVs) for the average standard lengths of each age (number of rings) observed in the scales. The relationship between Ls of the fish and the radius of the scales showed that scales can be used to study the age and growth of P. mesopotamicus (R= 0.79). CVs were always below 20%, demonstrating the consistency of the readings. Annuli formation occurred in February, probably related to trophic migration that occurs in this month in the region. Equations that represents the growth in length obtained for P. mesopotamicus are Sl=50.00*[1-exp-0.18(t-(-3.00)] for males and Sl=59.23*[1-exp-0.14(t-(-3.36)] for females. The growth parameters obtained in this study were lower compared to other studies previously conducted for the same species and can related to overexploitation that species is submitted by fishing in the region. These values show also that females of pacu attain greater asymptotic length than males that growth faster.

There have been limited reports on mastication speed during cattle rumination. The objective of this study was to establish a method to detect mastication speed based on data obtained during rumination through the use of a 3-axis accelerometer attached to the neck. A 3-axis accelerometer was attached to 6 dry Holstein cattle. When rumination behavior was observed, the accelerometer and the high-speed camera simultaneously recorded acceleration at the neck and moving image of the head movement. Based on the number of mastication movements recorded on video, mastication speed A was calculated. Data obtained from the 3-axis accelerometer were analyzed with fast Fourier transfer algorithm and identified as mastication speed B. The vibration of the neck recorded in the accelerometer during rumination was considered as mastication movement. Using Bland-Altman plot analysis, the mean difference between mastication speed A and mastication speed B was 0.041 s/bite, and the 95% limits of agreement ranged from -0.080 to 0.161. Since mastication movement occurred periodically, it was possible to detect the movement using spectrum analysis, as mastication speed B. Although there were some differences between calculated speeds and speeds obtained from spectrum analysis, there was clinical compatibility between mastication speed A and B. This study showed the feasibility of establishing a detection method for mastication speed during rumination, which might provide a basic procedure for studying the purpose of mastication and the variable factors involved.

Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), estimated between 2.0% and 5.6% in the general surgical population and 20-70% for upper abdominal and thoracic surgeries, are a significant factor leading to poor patient outcomes. Efforts to decrease the incidence of PPCs such as bronchospasm, atelectasis, exacerbations of underlying chronic lung conditions, infections (bronchitis and pneumonia), prolonged mechanical ventilation, and respiratory failure, begins with a detailed preoperative risk evaluation. There are several available preoperative tests to estimate the risk of PPCs. However, the value of some of these studies to estimate PPCs remains controversial and is still debated. In this review, the preoperative risk assessment of PPCs is examined along with preoperative pulmonary tests to estimate risk, intraoperative, and procedure-associated risk factors for PPCs, and perioperative strategies to decrease PPCs. The importance of minimizing these events is reflected in the fact that nearly 25% of postoperative deaths occurring in the first week after surgery are associated with PPCs. This review provides important information to help clinical anesthesiologists to recognize potential risks for pulmonary complications and allows strategies to create an appropriate perioperative plan for patients.

Sarcophyton glaucum is one of the most abundant and chemically studied soft corals with over 100 natural products reported in the literature, primarily cembrane diterpenoids. Yet, wide variation in the chemistry observed from S. glaucum over the past 50 years has led to its reputation as a capricious producer of bioactive metabolites. Recent molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed that S. glaucum is not a single species but a complex of at least seven genetically distinct species not distinguishable using traditional taxonomic criteria. We hypothesized that perceived intraspecific chemical variation observed in S. glaucum was actually due to differences between cryptic species (interspecific variation). To test this hypothesis, we collected Sarcophyton samples in Palau, performed molecular phylogenetic analysis, and prepared chemical profiles of sample extracts using gas chromatography-flame ionization detection. Both unsupervised (principal component analysis) and supervised (linear discriminant analysis) statistical analyses of these profiles revealed a strong relationship between cryptic species membership and chemical profiles. Liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry-based analysis using feature-based molecular networking permitted identification of the chemical drivers of this difference between clades, including cembranoid diterpenes (2R,11R,12R)-isosarcophytoxide (5), (2S,11R,12R)-isosarcophytoxide (6), and isosarcophine (7). Our results suggest that early chemical studies of Sarcophyton may have unknowingly conflated different cryptic species of S. glaucum, leading to apparently idiosyncratic chemical variation.

The recently discovered kagome superconductors $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ ($A$ = K, Rb, Cs) possess a unique band structure with van Hove singularities and Dirac dispersions, in which unusual charge-density-wave (CDW) orders with time-reversal and rotational symmetry breaking have been reported. One of the most crucial unresolved issues is identifying the symmetry of the superconductivity that develops inside the CDW phase. Theory predicts a variety of unconventional superconducting symmetries, including exotic states with chiral and topological properties accompanied by a sign-changing superconducting gap. Experimentally, however, the phase information on the superconducting gap in $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ is still lacking. Here we report the electron irradiation effects in CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ using introduced impurities as a phase-sensitive probe of superconductivity. Our magnetic penetration depth measurements reveal that with increasing impurities, a highly anisotropic fully-gapped state changes gradually to an isotropic full-gap state without passing through a nodal state. Furthermore, transport measurements under high pressure show that the double superconducting dome in the pressure-temperature phase diagram survives against sufficient impurities. These results are strong bulk evidence that CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ is a non-chiral, anisotropic $s$-wave superconductor with no sign change both at ambient and high pressure, which provides a clue to understanding the relationship between CDW and superconductivity in kagome superconductors., Comment: 22 pages, 4 figures

Age and growth parameters of cachara Pseudoplatystoma reticulatum (Eigenmann & Eigenmann, 1889) (Siluriformes, Pimelodidae) (males and females) were estimated through the analysis of growth rings in spines of pectoral fins. Fish were collected from January to December 2007, in the area directly influenced by the Aproveitamento Múltiplo de Manso (APM Manso) and in the Cuiabá River (upper parts of the Pantanal). The maximum number of growth rings was seven for males, and eight, for females. The analysis of temporal variations in mean marginal increment showed that rings found in the spines were formed annually, in December. Growth rings were associated to spawning (in the study region from November to March) of the species. The growth curve in length was obtained by the von Bertalanffy model adjusted by the Ford-Walford transformation. The equations are: Ls = 72.7*[1-e-0.44(t+1.5974)] for males, and Ls = 84.5*[1-e-0.33(t+2.0943)] for females. The equations that describe the growth curve in weight are: Wt = 4991.61*[1-e-0.44 (t+1.5974] 2.70 for males and Wt = 7503.17*[1-e-0.33 (t+2.0943] 2.99 for females.

Conflicting data still exist regarding the extent of paternal pronuclear DNA demethylation in one cell-stage mammalian embryos. Demethylation of paternal pronuclear DNA was observed in in vitro produced porcine zygotes, whereas in vitro produced embryos do not show any or only weak paternal genome demethylation. In our experiments, we have used and compared two in vitro techniques commonly used for in vitro embryo production (in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection) and then we evaluated the extent of labelling in both these groups after 5-methylcytosine (5-MeC) or dimethyl H3/K9 labelling. We have found no differences in the methylation pattern between both those techniques used for the production of embryos. Moreover, we did not detect any demethylation of paternal DNA after 5-MeC labelling at all. Contrary to this, labelling with dimethyl H3/K9 antibodies showed differences in labelling intensity between maternal and paternal genomes in 42% of zygotes after in vitro fertilization and in 44% of zygotes after intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Our results indicate that in vitro matured pig oocytes exhibit rather inconsistent methylation patterns. This inconsistency probably resulted from insufficient cytoplasmic maturation of oocytes and to a lesser extent from the in vitro technique for embryo production.

We developed a non-contacting ultrasonic guided wave testing technique using magnetostrictive effects and high-temperature superconductor (HTS) SQUID for STPG370 steel pipes. A pair of C-shaped electromagnets was used to magnetize the STPG370 pipe while rotating the pipe, in order to give uniform remnant fields as bias fields. Conditions to give larger remnant field in the pipe were investigated using an electromagnetic field simulation. The simulation results indicated that C-shaped pb permalloy iron cores with an aperture angle of 20 degree and a diameter of 20 mm should be utilized for the magnetization. An excitation coil was wound around one of the magnetized parts, which is used as a transmitter. One cycle sine current of 9 App at 50 kHz was repeatedly supplied to the coil to generate T(0,1) mode guided waves in the pipe. The other magnetized part, which was used as a receiver, was combined with the HTS-SQUID gradiometer, which was located above the pipe with a lift-off of 4 mm. In measurements, the pipe was rotated to perform all-round measurements. A contour map of the time-series signal distribution of T(0, 1) mode guided wave was obtained around the pipe.

Natural products have been an important source of therapeutic agents and chemical tools. The recent realization that many natural product biosynthetic genes are silent or sparingly expressed during standard laboratory growth has prompted efforts to investigate their regulation and develop methods to induce their expression. Because it is difficult to intuit signals that induce a given biosynthetic locus, we recently implemented a forward chemical-genetic approach to identify such inducers. In the current work, we applied this approach to nine silent biosynthetic loci in the model bacterium Burkholderia thailandensis to systematically screen for elicitors from a library of Food and Drug Administration–approved drugs. We find that β-lactams, fluoroquinolones, antifungals, and, surprisingly, calcimimetics, phenothiazine antipsychotics, and polyaromatic antidepressants are the most effective global inducers of biosynthetic genes. Investigations into the mechanism of stimulation of the silent virulence factor malleicyprol by the β-lactam piperacillin allowed us to elucidate the underlying regulatory circuits. Low-dose piperacillin causes oxidative stress, thereby inducing redox-sensing transcriptional regulators, which activate malR, a pathway-specific positive regulator of the malleicyprol gene cluster. Malleicyprol is thus part of the OxyR and SoxR regulons in B. thailandensis, allowing the bacterium to initiate virulence in response to oxidative stress. Our work catalogs a diverse array of elicitors and a previously unknown regulatory input for secondary metabolism in B. thailandensis.

Mitochondrially derived peptides (MDPs) such as humanin (HN) have shown a remarkable ability to modulate neurological amyloids and apoptosis-associated proteins in cells and animal models. Recently, we found that humanin-like peptides also inhibit amyloid formation outside of neural environments in islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) fibrils and plaques, which are hallmarks of Type II diabetes. However, the biochemical basis for regulating amyloids through endogenous MDPs remains elusive. One hypothesis is that MDPs stabilize intermediate amyloid oligomers and discourage the formation of insoluble fibrils. To test this hypothesis, we carried out simulations and experiments to extract the dominant interactions between the S14G-HN mutant (HNG) and a diverse set of IAPP structures. Replica-exchange molecular dynamics suggests that MDPs cap the growth of amyloid oligomers. Simulations also indicate that HNG-IAPP heterodimers are 10 times more stable than IAPP homodimers, which explains the substoichiometric ability of HNG to inhibit amyloid growth. Despite this strong attraction, HNG does not denature IAPP. Instead, HNG binds IAPP near the disordered NFGAIL motif, wedging itself between amyloidogenic fragments. Shielding of NFGAIL-flanking fragments reduces the formation of parallel IAPP β-sheets and subsequent nucleation of mature amyloid fibrils. From ThT spectroscopy and electron microscopy, we found that HNG does not deconstruct mature IAPP fibrils and oligomers, consistent with the simulations and our proposed hypothesis. Taken together, this work provides new mechanistic insight into how endogenous MDPs regulate pathological amyloid growth at the molecular level and in highly substoichiometric quantities, which can be exploited through peptidomimetics in diabetes or Alzheimer's disease.

Introduction Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are the most common malignant neoplasms in adolescents and young adults, and most patients with these tumors can be completely cured. Therefore, maintaining quality of life (QOL) is important. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one factor that reduces the QOL of GCT survivors. Objective We aimed to clarify the relationship between ED and age, follow-up period, serum levels of hormones, and treatment methods for GCT survivors. Methods We evaluated ED using the Sexual Health Inventory for Men questionnaire (SHIM) and measured serum levels of hormones in survivors after GCT treatment. The relationships between the SHIM score responses and age, serum levels of hormones, follow-up period, and treatment methods were assessed using a logistic analysis. Results Fifty-two GCT survivors were enrolled and 46 survivors completed the SHIM. The median age, follow-up period, and SHIM score were 38 years, 35 months, and 18, respectively. Regarding the SHIM scores, 85% had scores Conclusions Improvement of SHIM score can be expected after GCT treatment regardless of age, serum levels of hormone, and treatment method.

Objective Late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) is defined by reduced serum testosterone levels, and androgen replacement therapy (ART) is widely used. While serum total testosterone (TT) is used as an indicator for diagnosis and treatment for LOH in the United States and Europe, serum free testosterone (FT) is used in Japan. Patients with low FT levels (less than 8.5 pg/mL) are to be indicated for ART as LOH, and patients with moderate FT levels (between 8.5 pg/mL and 11.8 pg/mL) are also to be considered for ART as LOH borderline. In this study, we examined the outcomes of LOH and LOH borderline patients who were treated by ART. Methods We examined Aging Male Symptom (AMS) scale scores of LOH (n=76) and LOH borderline patients (n=16) who were treated with ART for at least 6 months at our hospital. Results In LOH patients, AMS score decreased from 52.1±12.3 to 41.5±12.2 (p Conclusion ART improves AMS score both in LOH and LOH borderline patients, but there were no significant differences between two groups in this study.

Introduction & Objectives To assess the efficacy and safety of clomiphene citrate (CC) for idiopathic male infertility. Methods We identified low testosterone (T) and male infertility patients treated with CC at our institution in the period September 2017 to May 2020. Data were gathered on patient characteristics and laboratory values at baseline. We retrospectively evaluated patients whose sperm concentration < 15*106/mL and/or sperm motility < 40%. FSH, LH and total T were measured before and 6-8 weeks after CC therapy. Sperm concentration, sperm motility were evaluated 3 month after CC therapy. Side effects were also recorded. In this series, 25 mg of CC was added every morning in all patients. Results A total of 37 men were included, with a mean age of 36.7 years. After 3month of CC therapy, sperm concentration was significantly increased from 14.07±16.21*106/ml to 30.52±38.10*106/ml. Sperm motility was also increased from 22.61±17.32% to 29.01±17.11%, but not significantly. Total T, FSH, and LH levels all significantly increased. 2 couples (5.4%) got pregnant. 2 patients experienced side effects: acne, n = 1; increased hepatic enzymes, n = 1. There were 5 patients who complained low libido and/or ED, but no improvement by T elevation. Conclusions According to our data, CC therapy increased sperm concentration significantly. CC therapy may be an effective and safe alternative for patients with low T and low sperm concentration. We have to evaluate more cases to know the CC therapy effect for low libido and ED.

Introduction In the treatment of LOH (late-onset hypogonadism) syndrome, TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) is effective for various LOH related symptoms including sexual function. However, among Japanese population, sexual desire is not always strong in elderly men. Even if the patients do not have opportunities of sexual intercourse, TRT may still be beneficial for other symptoms derived from LOH syndrome. Objectives To examine patients’ satisfaction by TRT, we examined the relationship between TRT effect on sexual function and whole treatment satisfaction in our patient cohort. Methods Patients who have LOH symptoms and low serum free-testosterone (FT) levels were diagnosed as LOH syndrome. FT was diagnosed as “low” when Results Median patients’ age was 54 years (n=95). Before treatment, total testosterone was 4.5±1.8ng/ml and free testosterone was 6.2±2.3pg/ml. The majority of chief complaint before treatment were psychological or somatic symptoms. After treatment, SHIM score showed significant improvement in all questions of 1 to 5, and total SHIM score increased from 6.4 to 9.4. The number of patients who have few opportunities for sexual intercourse (0 point for SHIM Q3.4.5) decreased from 66% to 48% after treatment. Using the questionnaire for patients’ satisfaction, 71% were classified into the effective group. The number of patients who still had few opportunities of sexual intercourse after treatment was 39% in the effective group and 71% in the ineffective group. Conclusions From the point of patient satisfaction, TRT for LOH syndrome was effective in 71% of patients. Almost 40 percent of the patients who were satisfied with the treatment answered that there were few opportunities of sexual intercourse even after treatment. The improvement in sexual function may not be always required in a cohort of our patient population. Disclosure Work supported by industry: no.

An intensification of auroral luminosity referred to as an auroral break-up often accompanies the onset of geomagnetic pulsation (Pi 2) at the dip-equator. One such auroral break-up occurred at 2239 UT on 16 June, 1986, being accompanied by weak substorm activity (AE~50 nT) which was recorded in all-sky image of Syowa Station, Antarctica (66.2°S, 71.8°E in geomagnetic coordinates). The associated Pi 2 magnetic pulsation was detected by a fluxgate magnetometer in the afternoon sector at the dip-equator (Huancayo, Peru; 1.44°N, 355.9° in geomagnetic coordinates; 12.1°S, 75.2°W in geographic coordinates; L=1.00). In spite of the large separation of the two stations in longitude and latitude, the auroral break-up and subsequent luminosity modulation were seen to be correlated with the wave form of the ground Pi 2 pulsation. This occurred in such a way that the luminosity maximum was seen to occur at the phase of maximum amplitudes of Pi 2 wave form. We argue that the observed correlation could be interpreted as indicating a Pi 2-modulation of a field-aligned acceleration of the low energy electrons that may occur near the equator of the midnight magnetosphere.Key words.

- Abstract
Circulating autoantibodies (auto-Abs) neutralizing high concentrations (10 ng/ml; in plasma diluted 1:10) of IFN-α and/or IFN-ω are found in about 10% of patients with critical COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pneumonia but not in individuals with asymptomatic infections. We detect auto-Abs neutralizing 100-fold lower, more physiological, concentrations of IFN-α and/or IFN-ω (100 pg/ml; in 1:10 dilutions of plasma) in 13.6% of 3595 patients with critical COVID-19, including 21% of 374 patients >80 years, and 6.5% of 522 patients with severe COVID-19. These antibodies are also detected in 18% of the 1124 deceased patients (aged 20 days to 99 years; mean: 70 years). Moreover, another 1.3% of patients with critical COVID-19 and 0.9% of the deceased patients have auto-Abs neutralizing high concentrations of IFN-β. We also show, in a sample of 34,159 uninfected individuals from the general population, that auto-Abs neutralizing high concentrations of IFN-α and/or IFN-ω are present in 0.18% of individuals between 18 and 69 years, 1.1% between 70 and 79 years, and 3.4% >80 years. Moreover, the proportion of individuals carrying auto-Abs neutralizing lower concentrations is greater in a subsample of 10,778 uninfected individuals: 1% of individuals 80 years. By contrast, auto-Abs neutralizing IFN-β do not become more frequent with age. Auto-Abs neutralizing type I IFNs predate SARS-CoV-2 infection and sharply increase in prevalence after the age of 70 years. They account for about 20% of both critical COVID-19 cases in the over 80s and total fatal COVID-19 cases. © 2021 The Authors, some rights reserved.
