Background: We investigated the influence of concomitant mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation on the 1-year outcome using Japan Transcatheter Valve Therapy (J-TVT) registry data.
Methods: The patients who underwent the transcatheter aortic valve implantation for aortic stenosis performed from August 2013 to December 2019 in Japan were included. History of previous valve surgery and dialysis patients were excluded. A total of 24,979 patients were included, and 1-year follow-up data were obtained from the registry (follow-up rate 98.5 %). Propensity-score matching, using multivariable logistic regression and 1:1 matching without replacement, was performed between the patients with grade 3-4 MR (MR 3-4 group) and those with grade 0-2 MR (MR 0-2 group). All-cause death and the composite outcome of death and/or heart failure events were compared.
Results: After propensity score matching, 3920 cases (1960 cases each in MR 0-2 group and MR 3-4 group) were extracted. The procedure success rate was 96.4 % in MR 0-2 and 96.0 % in MR 3-4 group (p = 0.56) and the surgical conversion rate was 0.7 % in MR 0-2 group and 0.8 % in MR 3-4 group (p = 0.58). Cox regression model showed no statistical difference in 1-year survival rate between MR 0-2 group (89.4 %) and MR 3-4 group (89.6 %) (p = 0.80). However, freedom from 1-year death and/or heart failure event was lower in MR 3-4 (86.3 %) than in MR 0-2 group (88.9 %) (p = 0.01). This trend was also found in the subgroup of New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 1-2 but not in the subgroup of NYHA class 3-4.
Conclusions: One-year survival rate was not different between groups but freedom from death and/or heart failure events was lower in patients with preoperative MR grade 3-4 than in patients with preoperative MR grade 0-2 after transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

In the title compound, CHFO, a central -hybridized carbon atom is decorated with three hepta-fluoro-2-meth-yloxy(cyclo-pent-1-ene) arms and a methyl group. The primary packing is determined by C-F⋯F-C inter-actions, forming [001] chains, which are consolidated weaker C-F⋯F-C and C-H⋯F-C contacts. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was conducted to aid in the visualization of these various influences on the packing: this revealed that the largest contribution to the surface contacts arises from F⋯F inter-actions (53.

The X-ray crystal structure of a multi-aromatic substituted 1,2,3-triazole is presented, which shows an extensive three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network involving two water mol-ecules and two aceto-nitrile mol-ecules. The structure of 4-{[(4-{[1-({[(3,4-di-meth-oxy-phen-yl)meth-yl](3-acetamido-phen-yl)carbamo-yl}meth-yl)-1-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]meth-oxy}-3-meth-oxy-phen-yl)meth-yl]amino}-benzoic acid-aceto-nitrile-water (1/2/2), CHNO·2CHN·2HO, features amine-linked aromatic groups that have a variety functionality including a carb-oxy-lic acid, an acetamido group, and meth-oxy ethers. All -H groups, and seven out of ten heteroatoms with available lone-pair electrons, participate in hydrogen bonding, with the aid of dimer-bridging water mol-ecules and aceto-nitrile mol-ecules whose methyl groups form close contacts with oxygen atoms.

A novel coordination compound, [Co()(HO)], was synthesized from aqueous solutions of Co(NO) and the ligand 2-[(5-methyl-1,3,4-thia-diazol-2-yl)sulfan-yl]acetic acid (H, CHNOS). In the monoclinic crystals (space group 2/), the cobalt(II) ion is located about a centre of symmetry and is octa-hedrally coordinated by two anions in a monodentate fashion through carboxyl O atoms and by four water mol-ecules. A relatively strong hydrogen bond between one of the water mol-ecules and the non-coordinating carboxyl-ate O atom consolidates the conformation.

Background: Leishmaniasis (LI) is a vector-borne illness caused by a protozoan of the genus Leishmania. Data on the features of LI in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are scarce.
Aim: To describe the characteristics of patients with IBD who present with leishmaniasis, infection outcomes and the risk factors associated with developing visceral leishmaniasis (VL).

Background: While R-CHOP has been one of the standard therapies for untreated high-tumor-burden (HTB) follicular lymphoma (FL) for over 2 decades, obinutuzumab plus bendamustine (OB) is also currently regarded as the standard of care since its approval in 2018 in Japan; however, the long-term efficacy and safety of OB in the daily clinical practice has not been thoroughly evaluated.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective study for the clinical outcome of 53 patients with HTB FL treated by OB as the frontline therapy between 2018 and 2021 in the Kyoto Hematology Clinical Study Group (KOTOSG). All patients had at least 2-year follow-up period.
