Background: The superiority of a fully magnetically levitated centrifugal-flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) in terms of overall survival, stroke events and pump thrombosis has been demonstrated in previous international analyses, so we evaluated a Japanese cohort for the same.Methods and Results: This retrospective observational study was conducted at Osaka University Medical Hospital and the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center in Japan. A total of 75 consecutive patients who underwent HeartMate3 (HM3) implantation were included. The primary endpoint was on-device survival, and the secondary endpoint was the incidence of LVAD-related complications at 2 years. All parameters were compared with those of the previously performed HeartMate II (HMII) implantation in 197 cases. The on-device survival rates were 94.7% and 92.3% in the HM3 and HMII groups, respectively, at the 2-year follow-up (P=0.62). The rehospitalization-free rate after implantation was 61.8% in the HM3 group, which was significantly higher than that in the HMII group (relative risk, 0.35; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.23–0.55; P<0.0001). Event-free survival rates from cerebral cerebrovascular events and pump thrombosis in the HM3 group were significantly higher than those in the HMII group, at 97.2% and 100%, respectively (relative risk, 0.14; 95% CI 0.03–0.58); P=0.0015 and relative risk, not calculated; P=0.049, respectively).Conclusions: Satisfactory short-term outcomes were observed after HM3 implantation in a Japanese cohort.

Background: Current guidelines equally recommend direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and warfarin for atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with a bioprosthetic valve (BPV); however, there are limited data comparing DOACs and warfarin in AF patients with an aortic BPV.Methods and Results: This post-hoc subgroup analysis of a multicenter, prospective, observational registry (BPV-AF Registry) aimed to compare DOACs and warfarin in AF patients with an aortic BPV. The primary outcome was a composite of stroke, systemic embolism, major bleeding, heart failure requiring hospitalization, all-cause death, or BPV reoperation. The analysis included 479 patients (warfarin group, n=258; DOAC group, n=221). Surgical aortic valve replacement was performed in 74.4% and 36.7% of patients in the warfarin and DOAC groups, respectively. During a mean follow up of 15.5 months, the primary outcome occurred in 45 (17.4%) and 32 (14.5%) patients in the warfarin and DOAC groups, respectively. No significant difference was found in the primary outcome between the 2 groups (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.88, 95% confidence interval: 0.51–1.50). No significant multiplicative interaction was observed between the anticoagulant effects and type of aortic valve procedure (P=0.577).Conclusions: Among AF patients with an aortic BPV, no significant difference was observed in the composite outcome of adverse clinical events between patients treated with warfarin and those treated with DOACs, suggesting that DOACs can be used as alternatives to warfarin in these patients.

Vitamin B12 content (98.8±5.6 μg/100 g dry weight) of an edible cyanobacterium, Nostoc commune (Ishikurage) was determined by the Lactobacillus delbrueckii ATCC 7830 microbiological method. Bioautography with vitamin B12-dependent Escherichia coli 215 indicated that N. commune contained two (main and minor) corrinoid-compounds. These corrinoid-compounds were purified to homogeneity from the dried algal cells and characterized. The main and minor purified corrinoid-compounds were identified as pseudovitamin B12 and vitamin B12, respectively, on the basis of silica gel 60 TLC, C18 reversed-phase HPLC, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and UV-visible spectroscopy. These results suggest that the bacterial cells are not suitable for use as a vitamin B12 source, especially in vegetarians.
