Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia may worsen disease progression and lead to poor outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine the effect of BMI on the development of COPD and mortality. METHODS We enrolled 437 584 participants registered in the physical health check-up cohort database of the Korean National Health Interview Survey from 2002 to 2003, and we defined COPD diagnosis based on the ICD-10 code and prescribed medication. BMI (kg m-2 ) classified them to five groups (low BMI < 18.5, normal BMI 18.5-23, overweight 23-25, obesity 25-30, severe obesity ≥30) at baseline. RESULTS Participants in the low BMI group had a significantly higher rate of COPD development for 13 years (7.6%) than those in other groups (3.4-4.1%, P < 0.0001). Amongst never or light smokers, COPD development in the low BMI group (5.6-6.7%) was significantly higher than that in other groups (2.8-4.7%). Similarly, amongst participants with a smoking history of ≥30 years, COPD development in the low BMI group (20.1%) was higher than those in other groups (8.4-12.4%). On multivariable analysis, normal or higher than normal body weight was significantly protective against the development of COPD (hazard ratio [HR], 0.609-0.739,) compared to low BMI. COPD-free-survival (HR, 0.491-0.622) and overall survival (HR, 0.440-0.585) were also better in them compared to those with low BMI (all P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Low BMI is an important risk factor for COPD development and mortality. Maintaining adequate body weight may reduce the risk for COPD development and mortality.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a major underlying etiology in patients with heart failure (HF). Although the impact of IHD on HF is evolving, there is a lack of understanding of how IHD affects long-term clinical outcomes and uncertainty about the role of IHD in determining the risk of clinical outcomes by gender.
Purpose
This study aims to evaluate the gender difference in impact of IHD on long-term clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
Methods
Study data were obtained from the nationwide registry which is a prospective multicenter cohort and included patients who were hospitalized for HF composed of 3,200 patients. A total of 1,638 patients with HFrEF were classified into gender (women 704 and men 934). The primary outcome was all-cause death during follow-up and the composite clinical events of all-cause death and HF readmission during follow-up were also obtained. HF readmission was defined as re-hospitalization because of HF exacerbation.
Results
133 women (18.9%) were died and 168 men (18.0%) were died during follow-up (median 489 days; inter-quartile range, 162–947 days). As underlying cause of HF, IHD did not show significant difference between genders. Women with HFrEF combined with IHD had significantly lower cumulative survival rate than women without IHD at long-term follow-up (74.8% vs. 84.9%, Log Rank p=0.001, Figure 1). However, men with HFrEF combined with IHD had no significant difference in survival rate compared with men without IHD (79.3% vs. 83.8%, Log Rank p=0.067). After adjustment for confounding factors, Cox regression analysis showed that IHD had a 1.43-fold increased risk for all-cause mortality independently only in women. (odds ratio 1.43, 95% confidence interval 1.058–1.929, p=0.020). On the contrary to the death-free survival rates, there were significant differences in composite clinical events-free survival rates between patients with HFrEF combined with IHD and HFrEF without IHD in both genders.
Figure 1
Conclusions
IHD as predisposing cause of HF was an important risk factor for long-term mortality in women with HFrEF. Clinician need to aware of gender-based characteristics in patients with HF and should manage and monitor them appropriately and gender-specifically. Women with HF caused by IHD also should be treated more meticulously to avoid a poor prognosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although both low socioeconomic status (SES) and poor cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are associated with increased chronic disease and a heightened risk of death, it remains unclear whether moderate-to-high levels of CRF confer survival benefits in low SES populations.
Purpose
The present study evaluated the hypothesis that SES and CRF predict all-cause mortality (ACM), cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and sudden cardiac death (SCD), and that moderate-to-high levels of CRF may attenuate the associations between low SES and adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
Methods
This prospective study was based on a population-based sample of 2,368 men aged 42 to 61 years, who were followed in the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease cohort. CRF was directly measured by peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) during progressive exercise testing to volitional fatigue. SES was characterized using self-reported questionnaires via combined measures of income, education, occupation, occupational prestige, material standard of living, and housing conditions. CRF and SES were divided into tertiles, and 4 combined groups (Fit-high SES, Fit-low SES, Unfit-high SES, and Unfit-low SES) based on the median values of CRF and SES.
Results
During a 25 year median follow-up (interquartile ranges: 18–27 years), 1116 ACM, 512 CVD mortality and 221 SCD events occurred. After adjusting for potential confounders (age, smoking, alcohol, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glucose, diabetes, hypertensive medication, family history of coronary heart disease, and physical activity), the lowest levels of SES were at significantly increased risk for ACM (hazard ratio (HR) 1.49, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.30–1.71), CVD mortality (HR 1.38, 1.13–1.69) and SCD (HR 1.34, 0.97–1.84). In contrast, higher levels of CRF were associated with lower risks of ACM (HR 0.56, 0.46–0.67), CVD mortality (HR 0.53, 0.40–0.71) and SCD (HR 0.53, 0.34–0.83). In combined associations of SES and CRF with mortality, unfit-low SES had significantly higher risks of ACM (HR 2.12, 1.75–2.57), CVD mortality (HR 2.20, 1.64–2.94) and SCD (HR 2.95, 1.79–4.86), but fit-low SES was not associated with a heightened risk of cardiovascular mortality or SCD (CVD mortality, 1.03, 0.73–1.46; SCD, 1.54, 0.87–2.72) as compared with their fit-high SES counterparts (reference).
Conclusion
Our findings indicate that both SES and CRF are independently associated with the risk of death; however, moderate-to-high levels of CRF appear to attenuate the risk of CVD mortality and SCD in low SES men. These unique data have important implications for public health interventions designed to enhance survival in underserved population cohorts.

Abstract
We present new constraints on the dark matter-induced annual modulation signal using 1.7 years of COSINE-100 data with a total exposure of 97.7 kg yr. The COSINE-100 experiment, consisting of 106 kg of NaI(Tl) target material, is designed to carry out a model-independent test of DAMA/LIBRA's claim of WIMP discovery by searching for the same annual modulation signal using the same NaI(Tl) target. The crystal data show a 2.7 cpd/kg/keV background rate on average in the 2-6 keV energy region of interest. Using a χ-squared minimization method we observe best fit values for modulation amplitude and phase of 0.0092±0.0067 cpd/kg/keV and 127.2±45.9 d, respectively.

Abstract
The PHENIX collaboration presents first measurements of low-momentum (0.4<p_{T}<3 GeV/c) direct-photon yields from Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=39 and 62.4 GeV. For both beam energies the direct-photon yields are substantially enhanced with respect to expectations from prompt processes, similar to the yields observed in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200. Analyzing the photon yield as a function of the experimental observable dN_{ch}/dη reveals that the low-momentum (>1 GeV/c) direct-photon yield dN_{γ}^{dir}/dη is a smooth function of dN_{ch}/dη and can be well described as proportional to (dN_{ch}/dη)^{α} with α≈1.25. This scaling behavior holds for a wide range of beam energies at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider, for centrality selected samples, as well as for different A+A collision systems. At a given beam energy, the scaling also holds for high p_{T} (>5 GeV/c), but when results from different collision energies are compared, an additional sqrt[s_{NN}]-dependent multiplicative factor is needed to describe the integrated-direct-photon yield.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Assessment of the collateral status has been emphasized for appropriate treatment decisions in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The purpose of this study was to introduce a multiphase MRA collateral imaging method (collateral map) derived from time-resolved dynamic contrast-enhanced MRA and to verify the value of the multiphase MRA collateral map in acute ischemic stroke by comparing it with the multiphase collateral imaging method (MRP collateral map) derived from dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced MR perfusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS From a prospectively maintained registry of acute ischemic stroke, MR imaging data of patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by steno-occlusive lesions of the unilateral ICA and/or the M1 segment of the MCA were analyzed. We generated collateral maps using dynamic signals from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRA and DSC-MRP using a Matlab-based in-house program and graded the collateral scores of the multiphase MRA collateral map and the MRP collateral map independently. Interobserver reliabilities and intermethod agreement between both collateral maps for collateral grading were tested. RESULTS Seventy-one paired multiphase MRA and MRP collateral maps from 67 patients were analyzed. The interobserver reliabilities for collateral grading using multiphase MRA or MRP collateral maps were excellent (weighted κ = 0.964 and 0.956, respectively). The agreement between both collateral maps was also excellent (weighted κ = 0.884; 95% confidence interval, 0.819-0.949). CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that the dynamic signals of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRA could be used to generate multiphase collateral images and showed the possibility of the multiphase MRA collateral map as a useful collateral imaging method in acute ischemic stroke.

Abstract
The clinical characteristics of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) are well delineated in adults, but pediatric data, particularly in Asian populations, are limited. Therefore, we evaluated the characteristics of pediatric cases by retrospectively reviewing the medical records of children with CLE during a 15-year period in a tertiary care dermatology clinic in South Korea. The study included 21 children (8 males and 13 females), 4 of whom had neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE). Among 17 patients with CLE, discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) was most common (47.1%), followed by acute CLE (ACLE, 35.3%). All ACLE cases had systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Female predominance was conspicuous in ACLE/SLE (6/11 females versus 0/6 males), as was older age, whereas DLE and NLE showed near-equal sex distributions. The median age at the diagnosis of CLE was significantly higher in females than in males (15 years versus 4.5 years, p = 0.02). All patients with ACLE/SLE simultaneously showed skin and systemic symptoms from onset. The kidney was the most commonly involved organ. This study revealed unique characteristics of pediatric CLE, further warranting a comprehensive review among various ethnicities to understand the wide spectrum of CLE in the pediatric population.

Abstract
Traditional melt-quenching technique is adopted for synthesis of Sm2O3 doped lithium barium gadolinium silicate (LBGS: Li2O-BaO-Gd2O3-SiO2) glasses. These glass samples are characterized by different spectroscopic techniques under ambient conditions. Density and molar volume of the present LBGS glass samples increase with increasing Sm3+ ion-concentration. JO intensity parameters Ωλ (where λ = 2, 4 and 6) are evaluated by using Judd-Ofelt theory and Ω4 > Ω2 > Ω6 trend is observed. Furthermore, these parameters are used to evaluate radiative properties like radiative transition probability, branching ratio, radiative lifetime and stimulated emission cross-section for state 4G5/2 of Sm3+ ion. The measured color coordinates for the title glass fall within orange region of CIE diagram. For the present LBGS glasses, the correlated color temperature values are less than warm. The lifetime for the 4G5/2 decreases from 2.468 to 0.566 ms when concentration increases from 0.1 to 2.0 mol% of Sm3+ ions. The analysis of non-exponential behavior of the decay profile through Inokuti-Hirayama model for S = 6 indicates that the energy transfer between Sm3+ ions is due to dipole-dipole interactions. Further energy transfer parameters (Q), critical distance (Ro, Å) and donor-acceptor interaction parameters (CDA x 10-40 cm6/s) of Sm3+ ions doped LBGS glasses were evaluated and compared to other glasses. From the evaluated results it is suggested that the present novelty of the work emphasizes on new matrix LBGS doped with Sm3+ ions showing increasing energy transfer rate with increasing in concentration of Sm2O3 content indicating these glasses are potential candidate for orange-light emitting device applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The lateral position is known to be advantageous for maintaining airway patency. This study compared the lateral and supine positions for tracheal extubation in pediatric patients when performing deep extubation. OBJECTIVE The hypothesis was that tracheal extubation in the lateral position would improve airway obstruction that often occurs immediately after extubation and can be a practical method. MATERIAL AND METHODS This prospective randomized trial was performed in operating rooms in a tertiary care hospital and included 92 patients (3-12 years old) undergoing elective strabismus surgery. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: deep extubation in the supine position (group S) and deep extubation in the lateral position (group L). Oxygen saturation (SpO2) and the incidence of stridor, laryngospasm, and coughing after tracheal extubation were assessed. RESULTS The mean ± standard deviation of the lowest SpO2 values within 5 min after extubation was significantly higher in group L (98.3 ± 2.1%) than in group S (96.8 ± 2.5%, mean difference 1.5, 95% confidence interval, CI 0.5-2.5, p = 0.003). The incidences of stridor and laryngospasm of group L were significantly lower than those of group S (1/45, 2% vs. 8/45, 18%, respectively; relative risk 1.9, 95% CI 1.4-2.7, p = 0.03). The incidence of desaturation and coughing were not significantly different between groups. CONCLUSION In pediatric patients deep extubation in the lateral position improved SpO2 and reduced the incidence of stridor and laryngospasm in the early emergence period when compared to extubation in the supine position.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether hearing loss is associated with social frailty in older adults. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis of cohort study data. Hearing was measured using of Pure-tone audiometry. Hearing loss was determined based on the average of hearing thresholds at 0.5, 1, and 2 kHz in the ear that had better hearing. Social frailty was defined based on the summation of the following 5 social components (1. Neighborhood meeting attendance 2. Talking to friend(s) sometimes 3.Someone gives you love and affection 4. Living alone 5. Meeting someone every day). Participants who had no correspondence to the components were considered non-social frailty; those with 1-2 components were considered social prefrailty; and those having 3 or more components were considered social frailty. RESULTS The prevalence of non-social frailty, social prefrailty, social frailty was 27.6%, 60.7% and 11.7% respectively. Of the five questions, two components (Neighborhood meeting attendance and Presence of someone who shows love and affection to the participants) were associated with hearing loss (p < 0.001). Compared to non-social frailty, the odds ratio of social frailty for hearing loss was 2.24 (95% CI 1.48-3.38) after adjusting for age, residential area, economic status, smoking, depressive disorder and MMSE, and 2.17 (95% CI 1.43-3.30) after further adjustments with physical frailty. CONCLUSION Hearing loss was associated with social frailty even after controlling confounding factors even including physical frailty.

Abstract
A search for inelastic boosted dark matter (IBDM) using the COSINE-100 detector with 59.5 days of data is presented. This relativistic dark matter is theorized to interact with the target material through inelastic scattering with electrons, creating a heavier state that subsequently produces standard model particles, such as an electron-positron pair. In this study, we search for this electron-positron pair in coincidence with the initially scattered electron as a signature for an IBDM interaction. No excess over the predicted background event rate is observed. Therefore, we present limits on IBDM interactions under various hypotheses, one of which allows us to explore an area of the dark photon parameter space that has not yet been covered by other experiments. This is the first experimental search for IBDM using a terrestrial detector.

Abstract
Li2O-BaO-Gd2O3-SiO2 glasses with different concentration of Eu3+ ions were developed by the traditional melt quenching technique and characterized via FTIR, absorption, excitation, emission and CIE color coordinates analysis for visible red emission application. The FTIR shows strong band at position 740 cm-1 which is attributed to Si-O-Si symmetric stretching mode. Density and molar volume of LBGSEu glasses increases with Eu3+ ions concentration. The covalent nature of bond between the Eu3+ ions and surrounding ligands was confirmed from the bonding parameter (δ). From absorption spectra JO-parameters and oscillator strength are evaluated for LBGSEu6 glass. From JO-parameters, Eu3+ ions have asymmetric coordination environment and stronger covalency. The phonon line PSB (22,522 cm-1) confirm the phonon energy ≈971 cm-1, that corresponds to the energy of one phonon associated with maximum energy of the vibrational mode couple to Eu3+ ions. Under 275 nm and 393 nm excitation, intense red emission was observed at 613 nm, we observe efficient energy transfer phenomena from Gd3+ → Eu3+ in these glasses. Increasing trend of IR with increasing concentration of Eu2O3 indicates the asymmetric environment around Eu3+ ions in LBGS. Moreover, from JO analysis, LBGS glasses have high capability for red laser device with high lasing power and energy extraction ratio. The fluorescence lifetimes show decreasing trend in lifetime with increasing concentration of Eu2O3 is due to radiative transition. From CIE color coordinate, the CIE color coordinates of LBGSEu6 glass fall in reddish region close to orange region and can be useful for optical display devices.

Abstract
We present the first measurements of absolute branching fractions of Ξ_{c}^{0} decays into Ξ^{-}π^{+}, ΛK^{-}π^{+}, and pK^{-}K^{-}π^{+} final states. The measurements are made using a dataset comprising (772±11)×10^{6} BB[over ¯] pairs collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e^{+}e^{-} collider. We first measure the absolute branching fraction for B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0} using a missing-mass technique; the result is B(B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0})=(9.51±2.10±0.88)×10^{-4}. We subsequently measure the product branching fractions B(B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0})B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+}), B(B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0})B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→ΛK^{-}π^{+}), and B(B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0})B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→pK^{-}K^{-}π^{+}) with improved precision. Dividing these product branching fractions by the result for B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0} yields the following branching fractions: B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+})=(1.80±0.50±0.14)%, B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→ΛK^{-}π^{+})=(1.17±0.37±0.09)%, and B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→pK^{-}K^{-}π^{+})=(0.58±0.23±0.05)%. For the above branching fractions, the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. Our result for B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+}) can be combined with Ξ_{c}^{0} branching fractions measured relative to Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+} to yield other absolute Ξ_{c}^{0} branching fractions.

Abstract
The Kigelia plant is used in African countries for its medicinal properties. Kigelia africana is an interesting example of a medicinal plant due to its pharmacological activities, including its anti-inflammatory effect. Atherosclerosis, the primary cause of cardiovascular disease, is related to lipoprotein oxidation, inflammation and immune responses involving the vascular endothelium and immune cells. Therefore, in this study we investigated the effects of Kigelia africana (Lam.) extract, focusing particularly on antiatherosclerotic effects in endothelial cells (ECs). The methanolic extract of Kigelia africana (MKA) showed no cytotoxicity on ECs at doses of 10~200 µg/ml. MKA reduced RAGE expression on oxLDL- or TNF-α-stimulated ECs in a dose dependent manner, showing significant inhibition at a concentration of 50 µg/ml. In addition, MKA significantly inhibited the oxLDL- or TNF-αinduced expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in ECs in a dose-dependent manner but did not affect intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), resulting in downregulation of the migration and adhesion of THP-1 monocytes to ECs. These results suggest that MKA could be used for the treatment of atherosclerosis without cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Young women are more likely than older women to present with higher stage breast cancer (BC) and may benefit to a greater extent from downstaging with neoadjuvant systemic treatment (NST). Young age is also associated with greater likelihood of pathologic complete response (pCR). Using a large prospective cohort of young women with BC, we investigated response to neoadjuvant therapy, eligibility for breast conserving surgery (BCS) pre- and post-NST, and surgical treatment.
Methods
The Young Women's Breast Cancer Study (YWS) is a multi-center cohort of women diagnosed with BC at age ≤40, that enrolled 1302 patients from 2006 to 2016. Disease characteristics and treatment information were obtained through medical record and central pathology review. Surgical recommendation before and after NST, conversion from BCS borderline/ineligible to BCS eligible, surgery, documented reasons for choosing mastectomy (MTX) among BCS eligible women, and final pathologic response were independently reviewed.
Results
Among 1302 women enrolled in YWS, 801 (62%) presented with unilateral stage I-III breast cancer and 317(40%) received NST. Median age was 36 years old (22-40). Pre-NST, 85/317 (27%) were BCS eligible, 49 (15%) were borderline, and 169 (53%) were not eligible (16 inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), 88 large tumor size /cosmetic, 48 diffuse calcifications, and 83 multicentricity). Among the 218 patients who were BCS ineligible/borderline pre-NST, 82 (38%) became eligible for BCS after NST. 4 patients who were BCS eligible pre-NST became ineligible. Of all patients eligible for BCS post-NST (n=163), 80 (49%) attempted BCS, 74 (93%) of whom were successful, and 83 (51%) chose MTX. Reasons for choosing MTX included: patient preference (38/83 (46%)), BRCA or TP53 mutation (31 (37%)), family history (3 (4%)), unknown (11 (13%)). On final pathology, 75 (24%) patients had pCR. Among patients who achieved a pCR, 48 (64%) underwent MTX, fewer than half (21/48 (44%)) were for anatomic indications (IBC, large tumor at diagnosis, diffuse calcifications, multicentric disease).
Conclusion
While NST doubled the proportion of young women eligible for BCS, nearly half chose MTX regardless of response to NST, mostly for personal preference or high-risk preventative reasons. These data highlight that surgical decision making among young women with breast cancer is often driven by factors beyond extent of disease and clinical response to therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Multifocal breast cancers are common, and tend to show more aggressive clinical features than unifocal breast cancers. While each foci of multifocal breast cancers with similar histology shares the same hormone and ERBB2 receptor status in most cases, substantial genomic differences among lesions have been reported. We aimed to investigate the potential genomic differences between multifocal breast cancer lesions.
Materials and methods: Twenty-one patients with multifocal breast cancer documented in the resection specimen were included. We selected two lesions with the same histology from each of these 21 patients. Capture-based targeted next generation sequencing was performed using a cancer gene panel consisting of 170 genes for single nucleotide variants (SNV) and small insertions/deletions (Indel), and copy number alterations.
Results: The most frequent mutation was TP53 (38.1%), followed by PIK3CA (28.6%). Pathogenic mutations (SNV and Indel) were detected in 13 of 21 patients, of whom 11 shared oncogenic variants in the two lesions. The remaining two patients had different mutation results in TP53 and PIK3CA, respectively. Genomic heterogeneity of copy number alteration was observed in 6 (28.6%) of 21 patients, including difference of FGFR1 status in two patients and difference of FGFR2 status in one patient.
Conclusion: Despite similar histologic features of multifocal tumors, genomic inter-lesion heterogeneity was identified in about one-fourth of patients. The spatial genomic heterogeneity in multifocal breast cancers needs to be considered in representative sampling and molecular tests for personalized medicine.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: We aimed to evaluate the clinical implication of circulating tumor cell (CTC) counts in correlation with prognosis and radiologic/pathologic response to therapy in locally advanced breast cancer patients undergoing preoperative systemic therapy.
Methods: From Feb 2014 to May 2017, 207 patients without distant metastasis were prospectively enrolled from AMC. CTC counts were analyzed before-during-after the therapy. CTC isolation was performed using a SMART BIOPSY™ SYSTEM Isolation kit (Cytogen, Inc., Seoul, Korea). Recurrence-free and overall survival was analyzed according to CTC counts.
Result: The mean follow-up period was 22.46 months and mean age was 46.48 years. One or more CTC was identified in 132 of 203 patients(65.0%) before NST, in 135 of 186 patients(72.0%) during NST and 103 of 171 patients(60.2%) after NST. Initial tumor burden at diagnosis -tumor size, lymph node metastasis- was not correlated with CTC positivity. Overall, CTC count ((≥1 CTC, ≥2 CTCs, and ≥5 CTCs) was not correlated with response to therapy. Using RECIST criteria, 86.5% (179/204) were responders (complete, partial response, CR/PR) and 12.1% (25/204) were non-responders (stable, progressive disease, SD/PD). 14.5% (30/207) showed a pathologic complete response (pCR), yet no association was found between CTC count/changes and radiologic/pathologic response to therapy. Also, CTC count was not correlated with prognosis among the whole population. However, HR+ tumors, CTC detection before NST was significantly associated with treatment response by RECIST criteria (responder vs. non-responder) (p=0.003, p=0.017 and p=0.023, respectively).
Conclusions: Our findings support limited value of CTC count for locally advanced breast cancers undergoing neoadjuvant systemic therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a rare type of breast cancer with favorable outcome compared with other types of breast cancer. The current guideline does not recommend chemotherapy/anti-HER2 therapy for mucinous breast cancer with hormone receptor-positive subtype regardless of HER2/neu status. In this study, we evaluated the survival of pure mucinous breast cancer according to tumor stage and subtype.
Methods: Between 1989 and 2014, in Asan Medical Center, Korea, total 473 pure mucinous carcinomas (stage I-III) undergone curative surgery were reviewed retrospectively. 5yr disease-free and overall survival were analyzed according to size, lymph node metastasis, hormone receptor/HER2 status and given therapy.
Result: Total of 473 patients with pure mucinous breast cancer were analyzed and median follow-up duration was 78.00 months. 439 patients were hormone receptor-positive, 374 were node negative, 55 were HER2/neu positive. Among 374 patients with hormone receptor-positive and node-negative, tumor size was <1cm in 46 patients, 1-2.9cm in 259 patients, ≥3cm in 69 patients. In HR-positive/Node-positive BCs, 90.8%(59/65)were given chemotherapy and 35.3%(6/17) were also given trastuzumab. Sixteen patients given trastuzumab were only included in the analysis to assess the benefit of trastuzumab among HER2 positive BCs.
Overall, 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 94.1% and the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 95.9%. Using Cox regression analysis, lymph node metastasis was the only significant prognostic factor for both DFS (HR4.0, 95%CI:1.8-9.0, p=0.001) and OS (HR3.5, 95%CI:1.3-8.9, p=0.008). Among HR-positive/node-negative with tumor size ≥3cm, HER2/neu positivity was only significantly associated with 5yr-DFS (71.4% in HER2/neu+ vs. 96.4% in HER2/neu-, HR9.5, 95%CI:1.3-67.5, p=0.024). This observation was consistently combining both 'HR-positive/node-negative/>3cm' and 'HR-positive/node positive' BCs (N=127) that HER2 positive tumors showed worse survival (HR 3.7, 95%CI:1.2-10.8, p=0.015). Intriguingly, within this subgroup of HR-positive/node-negative/>3cm' and 'HR-positive/node positive' BCs, among HER2 positive tumors, while 5yr-DFS was 63.7% in patients who didn't receive trastuzumab, 100% were disease free in patients who were given trastuzumab.
Conclusions: Overall, nodal status was the most significant prognostic factor for pure mucinous breast cancer. In hormone receptor-positive, lymph node negative mucinous breast cancer with tumor of ≥3cm, HER2 positive BCs showed worse survival, suggesting a potential role of anti-HER2 strategy in this subgroup.

Abstract
Abstract
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA), as a non-invasive strategy, provides substantial benefit to overcome tumor heterogeneity. Surveillance of recurrence after standard treatment in early breast cancer (BC) using cfDNA, enables to detect minimal residual disease (MRD), also to identify genomic alterations driving recurrences. We aimed to assess the role of cfDNA in detecting MRD by investigating genomic alterations of 1)primary, recurred tumor and 2)cfDNA at time of recurrence using deep targeted sequencing. Fifty-four early BC patients were enrolled prospectively between 2014 and 2017 at time of recurrence. Median disease free interval was 28.5 months (rage 6.2-49.8). 62.7% (32/51) were hormone receptor (HR) positive (28 HRpos/HER2neg, 4 HRpos/HER2pos), 11.8% (6/51) were HRneg/HER2pos and 25.5% (13/51) were triple negative BCs. 59.3% (32/54) patients developed loco-regional recurrence (15 local recurrence only, 13 regional only, 4 with both) and distant metastasis was observed among 40.7% (22/54) patients. Cell-free DNA was extracted from 5cc blood at time of recurrence. Deep targeted sequencing was performed using customized NGS panel –encompassing 426 cancer-related target coding region, 242 fusion and amplification-related region- of cfDNA and FFPE(formalin fixed paraffin embedded) tumor samples archived from surgical resection or biopsy. Deep targeted sequencing data was successfully performed in 72.1% (31/43) plasma samples and sequencing yield was significantly lower when stored for more than 2yrs (46.2% vs 83.3%).
Mutations of cfDNA and tumor (primary, recurred) were analyzed. Mean sequencing depth of cfDNA and FFPE were x425.7 and x777.6 respectively. Median number of pathogenic mutations found in primary tumor, cfDNA and recurred tumor were 27(range 12-99), 25(range 8-85) and 9(range 0-23). Among mutations found in primary tumor, 27.4% were shared mutations (range 8.1%-72.7%) with recurred tumor and 26.1% were shared mutations (range 4.7%-69.2%) observed in cfDNA sample. Among mutations found in recurred tumor, 40.9% were observed in cfDNA (range 17.7-87.5%). In primary tumor, median number of mutations with allelic fraction (MAF)>10% were 12 (range 4-21) and at least one mutation was found in cfDNA at time of recurrence. Among mutations with MAF>10%, 59.4% and 69.1% were found in cfDNA and recurred tumor. Known oncogenic mutations of PIK3CA, TP53, GATA3, AKT1, ESR1, RELN, ERBB2, ERBB3, BRCA1 mutation were found. PIK3CA gene (p.H1047R) was found in two cases both in primary tumor and cfDNA at recurrence (MAF 11.4% vs 5.3% and 12.3% vs 15.4%) suggesting de novo driver mutation. One patient developed regional recurrence during adjuvant aromatase inhibitor with ESR1 V392I mutation in both cfDNA and recurred tumor (MAF 48.1 and 54.5%), while another patient's recurred tumor during aromatase inhibitor harbored ESR1 D538G mutation exclusively in recurred tumor with MAF <1%. Both patients had no ESR1 hotpot mutation in primary tumor.
Our data showed sequencing yield of 83.3% in plasma samples within 2yr. Pathogenic mutations in primary tumor, especially when MAF>10%, half of them was observed in cfDNA at time of recurrence. ESR1 mutation should be included in cfDNA surveillance for patients undergoing endocrine therapy even absent in primary tumor.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
Assessment of restoration of ovarian function after chemotherapy is critical with respect to the initiation of different types of endocrine treatment in young high risk breast cancer patients
METHODS
In total, 1289 women who remained premenopausal or resumed premenopausal status after chemotherapy were randomized to receive 5 years of tamoxifen or 5 years of tamoxifen plus 2 years of ovarian suppression. The patients who did not resume menstruation were followed up for 2 years with tamoxifen treatment after finishing chemotherapy. Prospectively collected consecutive post-chemotherapy hormone and menstruation data were available for 705 breast cancer patients who enrolled tamoxifen-only treatment group or did not resume menstruation during follow up. This analysis evaluated the proportion of patients with pre-menopausal FSH levels (<30 mIU/ml), E2 levels (340 pg/ml), and menstruation at any time point during treatment with tamoxifen.
RESULTS
During 5 years of tamoxifen treatment after chemotherapy for premenopausal breast cancer patients, 62% of patients resumed menstruation. Menstruation returned in 92% of patients under 35 years old but only in 31% of patients over 45 years old. Ovarian function, defined by serum FSH and E2 levels, resumed in 94% and 65% of patients, respectively, over 5 years. Most patients achieved ovarian function restoration during the first 2 years after chemotherapy, with 47.1% resuming menstruation and 86.2% and 50.3% achieving pre-menopausal FSH and E2 levels, respectively, in the first 2 years. Clinical factors related to menstruation restoration were younger age (HR = 6.38, 95% CI 1.33-3.47), 6 month hormone profile after chemotherapy (FSH<30: HR=1.67, 95% CI 1.28-2.17; E2 >40: HR=2.96, 95% CI 2.25-3.89), and anthracycline without taxane chemotherapy (HR=1.63, 95% CI 1.25-2.13).
CONCLUSIONS
During 5 years of tamoxifen treatment after chemotherapy, half of patients experienced menstruation restoration, including most very young patients under 35 years. The majority of patients experienced menstruation restoration in the first 2 years of tamoxifen treatment.

Abstract
Two cases of complicated crown fracture of the maxillary incisors were restored using the fragment reattachment technique. Root canal treatment was performed, and the fractured fragment was bonded to the tooth structure using a dentin adhesive system and a flowable composite resin, followed by the insertion of a fiber post using dual-cured resin cement. Reattached fragments have shown reliable prognosis without inflammatory signs around bonded junctions after long-term follow-up.

Abstract
We report the first observation of the spontaneous polarization of Λ and Λ[over ¯] hyperons transverse to the production plane in e^{+}e^{-} annihilation, which is attributed to the effect arising from a polarizing fragmentation function. For inclusive Λ/Λ[over ¯] production, we also report results with subtracted feed-down contributions from Σ^{0} and charm. This measurement uses a dataset of 800.4 fb^{-1} collected by the Belle experiment at or near a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV. We observe a significant polarization that rises with the fractional energy carried by the Λ/Λ[over ¯] hyperon.

Abstract
The goals of this in vitro study were to investigate effects of etomidate on endothelium-dependent relaxation induced by acetylcholine in rat aorta, and to elucidate the associated cellular mechanism. In endothelium-intact rings precontracted with phenylephrine 10−6 M, dose-response curves for acetylcholine (10−9 to 10−5 M) and calcium ionophore (10−9 to 10−6 M) were generated in the presence and absence of etomidate (5×10−6, 10−5 M). In endothelium-intact or -denuded rings precontracted with phenylephrine 10−6 M, sodium nitroprusside (10−9 to 10−6 M) dose-response curves were generated in the presence and absence of etomidate (10−5 M). Etomidate (5×10−6, 10−5 M) produced a significant rightward shift in the dose-response curves induced by acetylcholine (receptor-mediated endothelium-dependent agonist) and calcium ionophore A23187 (non receptor-mediated endothelium-dependent agonist). Etomidate (10−5 M) had no effect on sodium nitroprusside (endothelium-independent nitric oxide donor)-induced vasorelaxant response in both endothelium-intact and -denuded rings. These results indicate that etomidate at clinically relevant concentrations attenuates endothelium-dependent relaxation induced by acetylcholine by an acting at a site distal to the endothelial muscarinic receptor, but proximal to guanylate cyclase activation of vascular smooth muscle in rat aorta.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cognitive frailty-the coexistence of physical frailty and cognitive impairment-is a phenotype of frailty in the elderly. The coexistence of physical frailty and cognitive impairment, known as cognitive frailty, is one of the phenotypes of frailty in the elderly. Cognitive frailty predicts adverse health outcome more accurately than does physical frailty. In this study, we aim to determine whether the polypharmacy common among the elderly is linked with cognitive frailty. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The elderly, aged between 70 and 84 years, who participated in the cross-sectional Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study were included in the present study. MEASUREMENTS Polypharmacy and hyperpolypharmacy were defined as the use of at least five and ten medications, respectively. Physical frailty was assessed by the Korean version of the FRAIL scale, and cognitive status was measured by the Trail Making Test part A, word list recall test, the Korean version of the Frontal Assessment Battery, and the Digit Span Backward test. RESULTS Among the 2,392 participants, 26.8% and 4.1% took more than five and ten prescribed medications, respectively. Polypharmacy and hyperpolypharmacy participants tend to have more cognitive impairment and physical frailty. Participants with cognitive frailty had the highest polypharmacy rate regardless of medication type. After controlling for the potential confounders including severity of comorbidities, frailty was found to be significantly related to polypharmacy, as defined by prescribed as well as total medications, including non-prescribed medications. However, cognitive impairment only showed a linkage to polypharmacy of prescribed medications, which-according to the results of multivariable analysis- could increase cognitive frailty, with an odds ratio of 2.70. CONCLUSION Although the elderly tend to depend on various medications, they should seriously consider the risk of polypharmacy for better health outcomes.

Abstract
A bulk single crystal of yttrium aluminum garnet (Y3Al5O12:Ce3+, YAG:Ce3+) with good optical quality and free of cracks has been grown successfully by the Kyropoulos method. The dimension of the as grown crystal boule was Ø 20 × 30 cm3. The cut and polished crystal sample of dimensions 1 × 1 × 0.5 cm3 was used for further measurements. The phase purity was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction pattern analysis. The scintillation properties, such as X-ray emission spectrum, pulse height spectra, energy resolution, and scintillation decay time, were investigated using a 137Cs γ-ray source. The recorded X-ray emission spectrum shows a broad band between 500 and 700 nm with a peak at around 540 nm, which is attributed to the 5d-4f transition of the Ce3+ ion. The pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) of α and γ signals in a YAG:Ce3+ crystal has been studied by using different pulse shapes. The grown YAG:Ce3+ crystal which is non-hygroscopic, chemically inert, fast inorganic scintillator could be used for radiation detection application in nuclear, and high energy physics.

Abstract
We report the observation of ϒ(2S)→γη_{b}(1S) decay based on an analysis of the inclusive photon spectrum of 24.7 fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} collisions at the ϒ(2S) center-of-mass energy collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. We measure a branching fraction of B[ϒ(2S)→γη_{b}(1S)]=(6.1_{-0.7-0.6}^{+0.6+0.9})×10^{-4} and derive an η_{b}(1S) mass of 9394.8_{-3.1-2.7}^{+2.7+4.5} MeV/c^{2}, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The significance of our measurement is greater than 7 standard deviations, constituting the first observation of this decay mode.

Abstract
The rodent model has been largely used for understanding specific disease pathophysiology, with low cost and the large spectrum from genetic strains. Here, we present a diffuse speckle contrast analysis (DSCA) system to measure blood flow changes non-invasively in rat's thigh and paw during femoral arterial occlusion (FAO) surgery which is the procedure for inducing peripheral arterial disease. The blood flow index in rat's paw showed significant decrease according to arterial occlusion. Moreover, we analyzed cross-correlation between two measurement positions. The results showed the affinity with hemodynamic response. In conclusion, the DSCA system secured the intraoperative blood flow monitoring during FAO surgery in a rat model.

Abstract
Vesatolimod is an oral agonist of toll-like receptor 7 designed to minimize systemic exposure and side effects. We assessed the safety and efficacy of vesatolimod in viremic chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients not currently on oral antiviral treatment (OAV) in a phase 2, multicentre, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study. A total of 192 patients stratified by HBeAg status and alanine aminotransferase level were randomized 2:2:2:1 to receive oral vesatolimod (1-, 2- or 4-mg) or placebo once weekly for 12 weeks; tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (300-mg daily) was administered daily for 48 weeks. Efficacy was assessed by quantitative serum HBsAg decline at Week 24 from baseline. In addition to safety assessments, changes in whole-blood interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) transcripts and serum cytokines were explored. Most patients were male (64.1%) and HBeAg-negative (60.9%) at baseline. Among vesatolimod-treated patients, most (60.4%-69.1%) experienced ≥1 treatment-emergent adverse event; the majority were mild or moderate in severity. No clinically meaningful differences in HBsAg changes from baseline were observed between treatment groups. No patients experienced HBsAg loss, while 3 patients experienced HBeAg loss and hepatitis B e-antibody seroconversion at week 48. HBV DNA suppression rates were similar across all treatment arms at Week 24. ISG15 induction was dose-dependent and did not correlate with HBsAg changes. A small proportion of patients exhibited dose-dependent interferon-α induction that correlated with grade of influenza-like adverse events. Overall, vesatolimod is safe and well tolerated in CHB patients. Although consistent dose-dependent pharmacodynamic induction of ISGs was demonstrated, it did not result in clinically significant HBsAg decline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Repeated remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) during weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass and in the early postoperative period may confer protection against acute kidney injury (AKI). We evaluated the effect of repeated RIC on the incidence of AKI in patients undergoing valvular heart surgery. METHODS Patients were randomised into either the RIC (n=120) or control (n=124) group. A pneumatic tourniquet was placed on each patient's thigh. Upon removal of the aortic cross-clamp, three cycles of inflation for 5 min at 250 mm Hg (with 5 min intervals) were applied in the RIC group. Additionally, three cycles of RIC were repeated at postoperative 12 and 24 h. AKI was diagnosed based on the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes guideline. The incidences of renal replacement therapy, permanent stroke, sternal wound infection, newly developed atrial fibrillation, mechanical ventilation >24 h, and reoperation for bleeding during hospitalisation were recorded. RESULTS The incidences of AKI were not significantly different between the control (19.4%) and RIC (15.8%) groups (a difference of 3.5 percentage points; 95% confidence interval: -6.8%-13.9%; P=0.470). Perioperative serum creatinine concentrations were similar in the control and RIC groups (P=0.494). Fluid balance, urine output, blood loss, transfusion, and vasopressor/inotropic requirements were not significantly different between the groups (all P>0.05). The occurrences of a composite of morbidity and mortality endpoints were not significantly different between the control (46.0%) and RIC (39.2%) groups (a difference of 6.8 percentage points; 95% confidence interval: -6.4%-20.0%; P=0.283). CONCLUSIONS The results of our study do not support repeated RIC to decrease the incidence of AKI after valvular heart surgery. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02720549.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interleukin (IL)-31 is implicated in pruritus associated with pruritic skin diseases like atopic dermatitis. Although pruritus is a prominent feature in dermatomyositis (DM), few studies have evaluated the pathogenesis of DM-associated itch. OBJECTIVES To establish the prevalence of itch in DM, and to investigate the role of IL-31 in DM-related itch. METHODS Pruritus and disease activity of DM were evaluated by a visual analogue scale (VAS) and the Cutaneous Disease and Activity Severity Index (CDASI), respectively. Expression of IL-31 and IL-31 receptor alpha (IL-31RA) in lesional DM, nonlesional DM and healthy control skin was evaluated by quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and immunofluorescence. Flow cytometry was performed on skin cells isolated from lesional DM skin to identify cellular sources of IL-31 in DM. RESULTS Among 191 patients with DM, 50·8% had moderate-to-severe itch, and itch was correlated with increased cutaneous severity (r = 0·34). In patients with itchy DM, gene expression of IL31 and IL31RA in lesional skin was upregulated compared with nonlesional skin and healthy control skin. IL31 mRNA expression positively correlated with VAS itch score (r = 0·67). On immunofluorescence, immunoreactivity for IL-31 and IL-31RA was stronger in lesional skin. Flow cytometry showed that lesional DM skin contained significantly more IL-31-producing cells, and CD4+ cells were the most common cell type. Lenabasum, an emerging treatment for DM, significantly downregulated IL-31 from CpG-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells. CONCLUSIONS Increased skin IL-31 may play a role in DM-associated itch, and ongoing trials will evaluate the effects of systemic treatment on IL-31 and itch in DM.

Abstract
Numerous depth extraction techniques have been proposed in the past. However, the utility of these techniques is limited as they typically require multiple imaging units, bulky platforms for computation, cannot achieve high speed and are computationally expensive. To counter the above challenges, a sensor with Offset Pixel Apertures (OPA) has been recently proposed. However, a working system for depth extraction with the OPA sensor has not been discussed. In this paper, we propose the first such system for depth extraction using the OPA sensor. We also propose a dedicated hardware implementation for the proposed system, named as the Depth Map Processor (DMP). The DMP can provide depth at 30 frames per second at 1920 × 1080 resolution with 31 disparity levels. Furthermore, the proposed DMP has low power consumption as for the aforementioned speed and resolution it only requires 290.76 mW. The proposed system makes it an ideal choice for depth extraction systems in constrained environments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND P2Y10, along with GPR34 and GPR174, is a G protein-coupled receptor that is activated by an endogenous lipid mediator lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS). Its expression pattern and its function are completely unknown. We have previously shown that P2Y10 is one of the highly up-regulated genes at the late differentiation stage during in vitro eosinophilopoiesis. OBJECTIVE We explored the expression and functions of P2Y10 in human cord blood (CB)-derived and peripheral blood (PB) eosinophils. METHODS Real-time PCR, FACS, Western blot, ELISA, and chemotaxis assays were performed to determine the expression and function of P2Y10. RESULTS As CB cells differentiated towards eosinophils, P2Y10 mRNA and protein were abundantly expressed. P2Y10 was the most highly expressed in the granulocytes from PB, to a lesser extent in monocytes, and least in lymphocytes. Further fractionation of granulocytes revealed that eosinophils express P2Y10 much more strongly than do neutrophils. PB eosinophils solely expressed P2Y10 among the three LysoPS receptors, while PB neutrophils expressed the three at comparable levels. LysoPS activated both CB and PB eosinophils to induce a robust ERK phosphorylation. Importantly, LysoPS was capable of triggering degranulation of ECP in PB eosinophils. This response was significantly reduced by pharmacological inhibitors of TNF-alpha-converting enzyme (TACE), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and ERK1/2, which were known to be required in P2Y10-mediated signalling pathways. However, LysoPS had no effect on chemotaxis, differentiation, or eosinophil survival. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE LysoPS provokes eosinophil degranulation through P2Y10. Therefore, P2Y10 is a potential therapeutic target to control eosinophil-associated diseases.

Abstract
Over the past few years, new-generation cell-based assays have demonstrated a robust association of autoantibodies to full-length human myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG-IgG) with (mostly recurrent) optic neuritis, myelitis and brainstem encephalitis, as well as with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)-like presentations. Most experts now consider MOG-IgG-associated encephalomyelitis (MOG-EM) a disease entity in its own right, immunopathogenetically distinct from both classic multiple sclerosis (MS) and aquaporin-4 (AQP4)-IgG-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD). Owing to a substantial overlap in clinicoradiological presentation, MOG-EM was often unwittingly misdiagnosed as MS in the past. Accordingly, increasing numbers of patients with suspected or established MS are currently being tested for MOG-IgG. However, screening of large unselected cohorts for rare biomarkers can significantly reduce the positive predictive value of a test. To lessen the hazard of overdiagnosing MOG-EM, which may lead to inappropriate treatment, more selective criteria for MOG-IgG testing are urgently needed. In this paper, we propose indications for MOG-IgG testing based on expert consensus. In addition, we give a list of conditions atypical for MOG-EM ("red flags") that should prompt physicians to challenge a positive MOG-IgG test result. Finally, we provide recommendations regarding assay methodology, specimen sampling and data interpretation.

Abstract
AIM Quality of life (QoL) and functional outcomes are at risk of being impaired after rectal surgery, but there has been no large prospective study to thoroughly assess QoL according to surgical approach. We have investigated the impact of laparoscopic and robotic total mesorectal excision (TME) on QoL and functional outcomes. METHOD Patients undergoing laparoscopic or robotic TME for rectal cancer between 2009 and 2013 were prospectively included in this questionnaire-based survey of QoL together with variations in urinary and sexual function. A propensity score analysis was retrospectively conducted to compare outcomes between groups in a cohort matched 1:1 for age, sex, body mass index, preoperative chemoradiation status and tumour height. The survey was performed preoperatively and 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS Global health status/QoL was similar between the two groups for 130 matched pairs, but the robotic group showed better role, emotional and social functioning and experienced less fatigue and financial difficulty. International Prostatic Symptom Scores in men increased postoperatively, with significantly less impairment in the robotic group at 6 months. These scores were comparable to preoperative scores at 6 months in the robotic group and at 12 months in the laparoscopic group. Of 48 sexually active men in each group, International Index of Erectile Function-5 scores decreased postoperatively, returning to preoperative levels at 6 months in the robotic group and at 12 months in the laparoscopic groups. CONCLUSION The robotic approach for TME was associated with less impairment of urinary and sexual function; QoL was comparable to the laparoscopic approach.

Abstract
Background The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (nlr) has been reported to correlate with patient outcome in several cancers, including breast cancer. We evaluated whether the nlr can be a predictive factor for pathologic complete response (pcr) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nac) in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (tnbc). Methods We analyzed the correlation between response to nac and various factors, including the nlr, in 87 patients with tnbc who underwent nac. In addition, we analyzed the association between the nlr and recurrence-free survival (rfs) in patients with tnbc. Results Of the 87 patients, 25 (28.7%) achieved a pcr. A high Ki-67 index and a low nlr were significantly associated with pcr. The pcr rate was higher in patients having a high Ki-67 index (≥15%) than in those having a low Ki-67 index (35.7% vs. 0%, p = 0.002) and higher in patients having a low nlr (≤1.7) than in those having a high nlr (42.1% vs. 18.4%, p = 0.018). In multiple logistic analysis, a low nlr remained the only predictive factor for pcr (odds ratio: 4.274; p = 0.008). In the survival analysis, the rfs was significantly higher in the low nlr group than in the high nlr group (5-year rfs rate: 83.7% vs. 66.9%; log-rank p = 0.016). Conclusions Our findings that the nlr is a predictor of pcr to nac and also a prognosticator of recurrence suggest an association between response to chemotherapy and inflammation in patients with tnbc. The pretreatment nlr can be a useful predictive and prognostic marker in patients with tnbc scheduled for nac.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies on the association between depression and risk of tuberculosis (TB) are lacking. OBJECTIVE To determine the association between depression and risk of TB. METHODS From a nationwide database, patients with depression were identified to form the exposure cohort between 2003 and 2013. The control cohort comprised an equivalent number of subjects without any mood disorders, with each subject age- and sex-matched to a patient in the exposure cohort. The incidence of TB was identified in the exposure cohort and control cohort between 2003 and 2013. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate the association between depression and the subsequent risk of TB. RESULTS A total of 32 372 patients with depression and the same number of controls were identified. The risk of TB in the depression cohort was 2.63-fold (95%CI 1.74-3.96) higher than in the control cohort. When the depression was classified as 'mild' and 'severe', the risk of TB was proportional to depression severity. CONCLUSIONS Patients with depression are at a higher risk for TB, and a dose-response relationship exists between depression and the subsequent risk of TB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Calcineurin inhibitors are effective immunosuppressive agents, but associated adverse effects such as nephrotoxicity may limit efficacy. Tacrolimus (FK506) is an immunosuppressive drug used mainly to lower the risk of organ rejection after allogeneic organ transplant. Adverse effects of FK-506 can prompt patients to end treatment despite the efficacy. In the present study, we investigated the protective effect and mechanism of tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) on FK506-induced renal damage, apoptosis, and oxidative stress to evaluate its possible use for kidney protection. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effect of THC on FK506-induced kidney cell damage was investigated in LLC-PK1 cells. LLC-PK1 cells were pretreated with THC at concentrations of dose for 2 hours followed by addition of FK506 for 24 hours. LLC-PK1 cells were treated with FK506 and THC, and cell viability and glutathione was measured. The number of apoptotic cells was measured using an annexin V/propidium iodide staining with flow cytometry. The effect of apoptosis by THC in LLC-PK1 cells was determined by measuring the caspase-9, caspase-3, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), and Bcl-2-associated X protein levels using Western blotting analyses. RESULTS FK506-induced LLC-PK1 renal cell damage was markedly ameliorated by THC treatment. THC protected LLC-PK1 cells by preventing FK506-induced glutathione decrease. THC protects against FK506-induced apoptosis in LLC-PK1 cells. Apoptosis was significantly decreased, and Bcl-2 was elevated in the THC-treated group. Bcl-2-associated X protein, caspase-3, and caspase-9 were decreased in the THC-treated group. CONCLUSION These results collectively provide therapeutic evidence that THC ameliorates the FK506-induced renal damage via antioxidant effect and apoptosis inhibition.

Background: Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a uncommon particular type of breast cancer and comprises approximately 4% of all invasive breast cancers. It is charactarized by abundant extracellular mucin production and present a more favorable prognosis than IDC-NOS. Pathologically, mucinous carcinoma is divided into two subtypes : pure and mixed. In this study, we reviewed the clinicopathologic characteristics and prognostic factors of pure mucinous carcinoma.
Methods: We reviewed the 23 years cumulative data of pure mucinous breast cancer patients from database of the Breast Cancer Center at ASAN medical center, Korea, between 1989-2011, retrospectively. Total 386 pure mucinous carcinoma cases were reviewed to analyze clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis.
Result: Total of 386 patients with pure mucinous breast cancer were identified. Mean age was 46.7. 149 patients underwent modified radical mastectomy and 236 underwent breast-conserving therapy. The T-stage was T1 in 187 patients, T2 in 178 patients, T3 in 17 patient and T4 in 4 patients. Node negative was 325 and node positive was 61. Estrogen receptor was positive in 342 and negative in 29. Progesterone receptor was positive in 276 and negative in 95. HER-2 was positive in 47 and negative in 273. 152 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy and 240 patients received adjuvant radiotherapy. 351 patients received hormone therapy and among these patients, 231 patients were treated with Tamoxifen alone, 81 were Tamoxifen with ovarian function suppression, 37 were AI only and one patient was ovarian function suppression only. The 5 year disease free survival rate was 93.3%, 5 year cancer specific survival rate was 98.2% and 5 year overall survival rate was 96.6%. Univariate analysis showed that ER status, nodal status and Her2 status were appear to be prognostic factor of Disease free survival rate. Using Cox regression, result of multivariate analysis revealed that only nodal status is the most significant prognostic factor for survival rate.
Conclusions: Pure mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a rare subtype with a favorable prognosis. Nodal status rather than ER status, Her2 status are considered to be the most significant prognostic factor of pure mucinos breast cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the risk factors for drug-induced liver injury (DILI) during the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and to compare the frequency of DILI in patients with and those without chronic liver disease (CLD). SETTING This was a retrospective observational cohort study including 299 consecutive patients who started MDR-TB treatment from January 2009 to December 2013. DESIGN Of the 299 patients, 35 had alcoholic liver disease (ALD group), 16 had hepatitis B virus infection (HBV group) and 11 had hepatitis C virus infection (HCV group). The remaining 237 patients without CLD were selected as the control group. RESULTS DILI occurred in 29 (9.7%) patients. The frequency of DILI was significantly higher in the ALD (17.1%, P = 0.038), HBV (31.3%, P = 0.005) and HCV groups (27.3%, P = 0.037) than in the control group (6.3%). Among all patients taken together, having HBV and HCV infection were independent risk factors for the occurrence of DILI during MDR-TB treatment. CONCLUSION DILI during MDR-TB treatment occurred more frequently in patients with CLD due to ALD, HBV and HCV infection than in those without CLD.

Abstract
We estimated heritability () and genetic and phenotypic correlations for carcass and meat quality traits of longissimus dorsi (LD) and semimembranosus (SM) muscles in 30-mo-old Hanwoo steers. Variance and covariance components were estimated using REML procedures under univariate and bivariate models. The mean carcass weight (CWT), eye muscle area (EMA), back fat thickness (BFT), and marbling score (MS) were 428.20 ± 46.30 kg, 87.38 ± 8.54 cm2, 13.00 ± 5.14 mm, and 5.21 ± 1.56, respectively. The mean CIE reflectance of meat lightness (L*), redness (a*), and yellowness (b*) were 40.01 ± 2.73, 22.37 ± 2.18, and 10.35 ± 1.46, respectively, in LD muscles and 36.33 ± 2.44, 22.91 ± 2.43, and 10.25 ± 1.65, respectively, in SM muscles. The mean Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF), intramuscular fat content (IMF), water-holding capacity (WHC), and protein and ash content in LD and SM muscles were 3.84 ± 0.96 and 6.52 ± 1.21 kg, 15.91 ± 4.39 and 5.10 ± 1.94%, 62.07 ± 3.38 and 71.61 ± 2.06%, 20.01 ± 1.39 and 21.34 ± 0.89%, and 0.80 ± 0.10 and 0.93 ± 0.07, respectively. The estimates of CWT, EMA, BFT, and MS were 0.51 ± 0.13, 0.45 ± 0.13, 0.29 ± 0.09, and 0.22 ± 0.08, respectively. The estimates were moderate for meat quality traits and were 0.37 ± 0.12, 0.40 ± 0.12, 0.33 ± 0.10, 0.33 ± 0.10, 0.30 ± 0.11, and 0.24 ± 0.09 for L*, WBSF, IMF, WHC, and protein and ash content, respectively, in LD muscle; estimates from SM muscle were comparatively low (0.08 ± 0.06 to 0.25 ± 0.09). Estimates of for a* and b* were also low (0.08 ± 0.06 to 0.13 ± 0.07). Carcass weight had a moderate, positive genetic correlation with EMA (0.60 ± 0.13) and a weak correlation with MS and BFT. The genetic correlations among the 3 colorimeter variants were strong and positive within and between muscles. Intramuscular fat content had moderate to strong and negative genetic correlations with WBSF (-0.49 ± 0.18), WHC (-0.99 ± 0.01), and protein (-0.93 ± 0.04) and ash content (-0.98 ± 0.06) in LD muscle, whereas the associations were less pronounced in SM muscle. In general, CWT and EMA had low genetic and phenotypic correlations with meat quality traits, which suggests that the traits are independent and have distinct genetic contributions in each muscle. Conversely, with few exceptions, meat quality traits had genetic and phenotypic correlations with MS and BFT. In conclusion, the estimated genetic parameters for carcass and meat quality traits could be used for genetic evaluation and breeding programs in Korean Hanwoo cattle populations.
