Abstract Background Several studies have proved that both poor nutrition (PN) and Frail are associated with poor prognosis among heart failure patients. However, it has not been fully revealed whether PN and frail could have impact on prognosis accumulatively. Purpose The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the impact of nutritional and Frailty status on 1-year mortality among hospitalized patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Methods Study subjects comprised of 315 hospitalized patients with ADHF. To evaluate the nutritional and Frailty status, we calculated the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score and the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF) index at hospital admission. PN and Frailty were defined as the CONUT score ≥5 and SOF index ≥2, respectively. Results z Sixty-nine subjects (21.9%) were died within 1-year. PN and Frailty were observed in 33.3% and 55.6% of study subjects, respectively. Both PN and Frailty were similarly related to the 1-year mortality by univariate cox regression analysis (Hazard Ratio (HR) 2.43, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.51–3.91, p=0.0003: HR 3.13, 95% CI 1.83–5.66, p<0.0001, respectively). Study subjects were classified into 4 groups according to the nutritional and frailty status: control (normal nutrition without Frailty, n=110), PN alone (PN without Frailty, n=30), Frailty alone (Frailty without PN, n=100), and PN + Frailty (PN with Frailty, n=75). The Kaplan-Meier event curves for 1-year all-cause mortality illustrated that subjects with PN + Frailty had a significantly higher mortality than in subjects with control, PN alone and Frailty alone (log rank p=0.0001, 0.0180, 0.0070, respectively). As well as, cox regression analysis revealed that PN + Frailty showed significantly higher mortality than control, PN alone and Frailty alone. (HR 5.33, 95% CI 2.75–11.1, p<0.0001: HR 2.99, 95% CI 1.26–8.78, p=0.011: HR 2.07, 95% CI 1.21–3.61, p=0.008, respectively). Moreover, multivariate cox regression analysis also revealed that PN with Frailty was independently associated with 1-year mortality even after adjustment for age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, and chronic kidney disease. (HR 3.40, 95% CI 1.69–7.32, adjusted p<0.001) Kaplan-Meier curve for 1year mortality Conclusions The combination assessment consisted with nutrition and frailty could identify poor prognosis patients with ADHF.

Aim: To evaluate the clinical value of plasma D-dimer/fibrinogen ratio (DFR) in patients hospitalized for heart failure (HF). Methods: Clinical data of 235 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Kaplan–Meier method and Cox regression analysis were used to identify significant prognosticators. Results: The Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that a higher DFR level was significantly associated with an increase in the end point outcomes, including HF readmission, thrombotic events and death (log-rank test: p < 0.001). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the high tertile of DFR was significantly associated with the study end points (HR: 2.18; 95% CI: 1.31–3.62; p = 0.003), compared with the low tertile. Conclusion: DFR is a reliable prognostic indicator for patients hospitalized for HF.

Leg Muscle

Introduction: Leg muscle strength (LMS) could be an index of frailty in patients with heart failure. However, its prognostic value in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is not well investigated. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that impaired LMS was independently associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with ADHF. Methods: We measured LMS in 110 prospectively and consecutively enrolled ADHF patients (75 male, mean age 60 ± 14 years, mean ejection fraction 29.9 ± 14.6%) at predischarge period. Primary endpoint was cardiovascular (CV) events defined as CV mortality, cardiac transplantation or rehospitalization due to HF aggravation. Results: The CV events occurred in 28 (25.5%) patients (5 cardiovascular deaths and 6 cardiac transplantations) during follow up period (median 246 days, 11-888 days). When the patients with ADHF were divided by LMS according to Contal and O’Quigley's method, impaired LMS was shown to be associated with poor clinical outcome (P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that LMS was found to be an independent predictor of CV events (P=0.017) when controlled for age, gender, BMI, types of heart failure, hemoglobin, NT-proBNP and beta-blocker use. Conclusions: LMS independently predicts clinical outcome in patients with ADHF and might be used as a surrogate marker of frailty. Further studies are needed to evaluate the prognostic role of leg muscle strengthening exercise in these patients.

Abstract Background Plasma volume (PV) expansion plays an essential role in heart failure and PV status provides prognostic information in patients (pts) with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). On the other hand, concomitant presence of pulmonary hypertension in heart failure is associated with increased adverse events and may be related to interventricular uncoupling and impaired cardiac efficiency. It has recently been shown that an increased mean pulmonary artery pressure to mean systemic arterial pressure ratio (MPS ratio), a marker of interventricular coupling and efficiency, is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure. However, there is no information available on the long-term prognostic value of the combination of PV status and MPS ratio in pts admitted for ADHF. Methods We studied 248 pts admitted for ADHF, who underwent right heart catheterization at the admission and were discharged with survival. PV status and MPS ratio were obtained at the admission. PV status was calculated as the following: Actual PV = (1 − hematocrit) x [a + (b x body weight)] (a=1530 in males and a=864 in females, b=41 in males and b=47.9 in females), Ideal PV = c x body weight (c=39 in males and c=40 in females), and PV status = [(actual PV − ideal PV)/ideal PV] x 100(%). The study endpoint was cardiovascular death (CVD). Results During a mean follow-up period of 5.2±4.4 yrs, 62 pts had CVD. PV status (10.0±16.2 vs 5.0±15.3%, p=0.03) and MPS ratio (0.408±0.114 vs 0.347±0.102, p=0.0001) were significantly greater in patients with than without CVD. At multivariate Cox regression analysis, PV status and MPS ratio were significantly associated with CVD, independently of prior heart failure hospitalization, eGFR, and serum sodium level and anemia. Patients with greater PV status (> median value = 4.6%) and MPS ratio (> median value = 0.346) had a significantly higher CVD risk than those with either and none of them (44% vs 22% vs 14%, p<0.0001, respectively). Conclusions The combination of PV status and MPS ratio might be useful for stratifying patients at risk for CVD in patients with ADHF.

Abstract Background Malnutrition is associated with increased mortality risk in patients (pts) with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). On the other hand, concomitant presence of pulmonary hypertension in heart failure is associated with increased adverse events and may be related to interventricular uncoupling and impaired cardiac efficiency. It has recently been shown that an increased mean pulmonary artery pressure to mean systemic arterial pressure ratio (MPS ratio), a marker of interventricular coupling and efficiency, is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure. However, there is no information available on the long-term prognostic value of the combination of malnutrition and MPS ratio in pts admitted for ADHF. Methods and results We studied 248 pts admitted for ADHF, who underwent right heart catheterization at the admission and were discharged with survival. Malnutrition was assessed by geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and controlling nutritional status score (CONUT). During a mean follow-up period of 5.2±4.4 yrs, 62 pts had cardiovascular death (CVD). MPS ratio was significantly greater in pts with than without CVD (0.408±0.114 vs 0.347±0.102, p=0.0001). GNRI and PNI were significantly lower, CONUT was significantly greater in pts with than without CVD. At multivariate Cox regression analysis, GNRI and MPS ratio were significantly associated with CVD, independently of prior heart failure hospitalization, eGFR, and serum sodium level and anemia, although PNI and CONUT showed the association with CVD at unvariate analysis. Pts with malnutrition (GNRI≤median value=96.5) and greater MPS ratio (≥median value=0.346) had a significantly higher CVD risk than those with either and none of them (51% vs 20% vs 12%, p&lt;0.0001, respectively). Conclusions The combination of malnutrition and MPS ratio might be useful for stratifying pts at risk for CVD in patients with ADHF. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Background. Gallbladder cancers (GBCs) are highly aggressive cancers with high mortality. However, biological markers for the progression and prognosis of GBC are currently unavailable in the clinic.Objective. To identify biomarkers for predicting GBC metastasis and prognosis.Methods. We examined ALDH1A3 and GPX3 expressions in 46 squamous cell/adenosquamous carcinomas (SC/ASC) and 80 adenocarcinomas (AC) by using immunohistochemistry.Results. Positive ALDH1A3 and negative GPX3 expressions were significantly associated with lymph node metastasis and invasion of SC/ASCs and ACs. Univariate Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that either positive ALDH1A3(P<0.001)or negative GPX3(P<0.001)expression significantly correlated with decreased overall survival in both SC/ASC and AC patients. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that positive ALDH1A3 expression or negative GPX3 expression was an independent poor-prognostic predictor in both SC/ASC and AC patients.Conclusions. Our study suggested that positive ALDH1A3 and negative GPX3 expressions are closely associated with clinical pathological behaviors and poor prognosis of gallbladder cancer.

Abstract Introduction Inferior vena cava (IVC) measurement by bed-side echocardiography is a non-invasive, reproducible and feasible estimation of right atrial pressure (RAP). However, the effect of left ventricular systolic functions on the clinical efficacy of estimation of RAP using IVC parameters in hospitalized patients with acute heart failure (AHF) has not been fully discussed. Purpose We aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of RAP evaluation by IVC measurement in AHF patients, focusing on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Methods This observational study initially included 1,350 consecutive patients who were urgently hospitalized due to AHF. After the exclusion of patients receiving hemodialysis, those died in hospital, and those without full information of echocardiography during the index hospitalization, 507 patients with reduced (<40%; HFrEF) and 482 patients with preserved (≥40%; HFpEF) LVEF who discharged alive were respectively analyzed. In accordance with ESC guidelines, HFrEF and HFpEF patients were respectively divided into three groups depending on maximum IVC diameter and collapse; Normal-RAP group (IVC diameter ≤2.1cm and collapse >50%), High-RAP group (IVC diameter >2.1cm and collapse <50%), and Intermediate-RAP group (others). The endpoints of this study were cardiovascular (CV) death after the discharge, and hospitalization due to heart failure recurrence (HHF). Results During the observation period, 70 HFrEF patients (13.8%) and 51 HFpEF patients (10.5%) died by CV cause, and 223 HFrEF patients (43.9%) and 158 HFpEF patients (32.8%) were rehospitalized due to HF. In HFrEF patients, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a low CV mortality rate only in the Normal-RAP group (Log-rank trend: P=0.001, Figure), but no significant difference in HHF rate among RAP groups (p=0.35, Figure). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, RAP classification was an independent predictor of CV mortality in HFrEF patients (adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) 1.90 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.12–3.21)), even after the adjustment of diverse covariants. On the other hand, in HFpEF patients, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed the high mortality rate and HHF rate only in the High-RAP group (Log-rank trend: both p<0.001, Figure). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that RAP classification independently predicted both prognoses (CV mortality: AHR 2.23 [95% CI 1.10–4.52]; HHF: AHR 1.34 [95% CI 1.03–1.74]) in HFpEF patients. Figure 1 Conclusion Non-invasive and easy classification of AHF patients by maximum IVC size and collapse may predict CV mortality after the discharge in HFrEF and HFpEF; while, it failed in HHF of HFrEF patients.

Background: Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is a key enzyme for the cross-linking of collagen and elastin in the extracellular matrix. This study evaluated the prognostic role of LOX in gastric cancer (GC) by analyzing the data of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset.Methods: The Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to calculate the expression difference of LOX gene in gastric cancer and normal tissues. Western blot and immunohistochemical staining were used to evaluate the expression level of LOX protein in gastric cancer. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to calculate the survival difference between the high expression group and the low expression group in gastric cancer. The relationship between statistical clinicopathological characteristics and LOX gene expression was analyzed by Wilcoxon or Kruskal-Wallis test and logistic regression. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to find independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of GC patients. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to screen the possible mechanisms of LOX and GC. The CIBERSORT calculation method was used to evaluate the distribution of tumor-infiltrating immune cell (TIC) abundance.Results: LOX is highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and is significantly related to poor overall survival. Wilcoxon or Kruskal-Wallis test and Logistic regression analysis showed, LOX overexpression is significantly correlated with T-stage progression in gastric cancer. Multivariate Cox regression analysis on TCGA and GEO data found that LOX (all p &lt; 0.05) is an independent factor for poor GC prognosis. GSEA showed that high LOX expression is related to ECM receptor interaction, cancer, Hedgehog, TGF-beta, JAK-STAT, MAPK, Wnt, and mTOR signaling pathways. The expression level of LOX affects the immune activity of the tumor microenvironment in gastric cancer.Conclusion: High expression of LOX is a potential molecular indicator for poor prognosis of gastric cancer.

Osteosarcoma (OS) often occurs in children and often undergoes metastasis, resulting in lower survival rates. Information on the complexity and pathogenic mechanism of OS is limited, and thus, the development of treatments involving alternative molecular and genetic targets is hampered. We categorized transcriptome data into metastasis and nonmetastasis groups, and 400 differential RNAs (230 messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and 170 long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs)) were obtained by the edgeR package. Prognostic genes were identified by performing univariate Cox regression analysis and the Kaplan–Meier (KM) survival analysis. We then examined the correlation between the expression level of prognostic lncRNAs and mRNAs. Furthermore, microRNAs (miRNAs) corresponding to the coexpression of lncRNA-mRNA was predicted, which was used to construct a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network. Finally, multivariate Cox proportional risk regression analysis was used to identify hub prognostic genes. Three hub prognostic genes (ABCG8, LOXL4, and PDE1B) were identified as potential prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for OS. Furthermore, transcriptions factors (TFs) (DBP, ESX1, FOS, FOXI1, MEF2C, NFE2, and OTX2) and lncRNAs (RP11-357H14.16, RP11-284N8.3, and RP11-629G13.1) that were able to affect the expression levels of genes before and after transcription were found to regulate the prognostic hub genes. In addition, we identified drugs related to the prognostic hub genes, which may have potential clinical applications. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) confirmed that the expression levels of ABCG8, LOXL4, and PDE1B coincided with the results of bioinformatics analysis. Moreover, the relationship between the hub prognostic gene expression and patient prognosis was also validated. Our study elucidated the roles of three novel prognostic biomarkers in the pathogenesis of OS as well as presenting a potential clinical treatment for OS.

Background: Atrial electromechanical delay (AEMD) times were considered independent predictors of cardiovascular morbidity among the general population. We aimed at evaluating AEMD times and other risk factors associated with 2-year combined cardiovascular (CV) events in HD patients. Material and Methods: Sixty hemodialysis (HD) and 44 healthy individuals were enrolled in this prospective study. Echocardiography was performed before the mid-week dialysis session for HD patients. Data were expressed as mean ± SD. Spearman test was used to assess linear associations. Survival was examined with the Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to determine the predictors of combined CV events in this cohort. Results: At the beginning of the study, left intra-atrial-AEMD times were significantly longer in HD patients compared to the left intra-atrial-AEMD times in healthy individuals. After 24 months, 41 patients were still on HD treatment and 19 (31.6%) had died. Serum triglyceride, total cholesterol and albumin were found to be higher and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, left intra-atrial EMD time (LIAT) and interatrial EMD times were found to be lower in survived HD patients. With the cut-off median values of 3.5 g/dl for albumin, 0.87 mg/dl for CRP, 157 mg/dl for total cholesterol and 151 mg/dl for triglyceride, the Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrated significant differences in terms of all-cause mortality. We also demonstrated the Kaplan-Meier survival curves of HD patients according to tertile values of LIAT. Cox regression analysis revealed that increased CRP and higher LIAT were found to be independent predictors of combined CV events. Conclusions: Increased LIAT and inflammation were found to be closely associated with 2 years combined CV events and all-cause mortality in HD patients.
