Abstract
BACKGROUND Smoking is known to result in a decline in renal allograft function and survival of recipients; however, the effect of smoking on living kidney donors remains unknown. In this study we evaluated the impact of cigarette smoking on renal function of kidney donors. METHODS Among 1056 donors who underwent nephrectomy, 612 completed the 6-month follow-up protocol and were enrolled in the study. The association of smoking status, including pack-years smoking history, and postoperative renal function was evaluated. RESULTS Among donors, 68.1% had never smoked, 8% were former smokers, and 23.9% were current smokers. Donors who never smoked were older than former and current smokers (42.3 ± 11.8, 41.9 ± 11.1, and 38.3 ± 10.9 years, respectively; P < .001). There was no difference in preoperative renal function between groups; however, postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was lower in former and current smokers than in those who never smoked (64.6 ± 13.8, 64.7 ± 12.3, and 67.8 ± 13.1 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively; P = .023). In former and current smokers, pack-years smoking history was negatively associated with pre- and postoperative eGFR (r = -0.305 and -0.435, P < .001), and correlated with postoperative percent eGFR decline (r = 0.248, P < .001). Smoking history was associated with postoperative development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Especially in former smokers, a smoking history of more than 12 pack-years was strongly associated with development of CKD (odds ratio = 7.5, P = .003). CONCLUSION Even if they no longer smoke, donors with a smoking history require close observation due to increased risk of CKD development after kidney donation. A detailed pack-years smoking history should be obtained, and smoking cessation strategies should be implemented in kidney donors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are increasing reports of paradoxical psoriasiform diseases secondary to anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) agents. AIMS To determine the risks of paradoxical psoriasiform diseases secondary to anti-TNF agents in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS A nationwide population study was performed using the Korea National Health Insurance Claim Data. A total of 50 502 patients with IBD were identified between 2007 and 2016. We compared 5428 patients who were treated with any anti-TNF agent for more than 6 months (anti-TNF group) and 10 856 matched controls who had never taken anti-TNF agents (control group). RESULTS Incidence of psoriasis was significantly higher in the anti-TNF group (36.8 per 10 000 person-years) compared to the control group (14.5 per 10 000 person-years) (hazard ratio [HR] 2.357, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.668-3.331). Palmoplantar pustulosis (HR 9.355, 95% CI 2.754-31.780) and psoriatic arthritis (HR 2.926, 95% CI 1.640-5.218) also showed higher risks in the anti-TNF group. In subgroup analyses, HRs for psoriasis by IBD subtype were 2.549 (95% CI 1.658-3.920) in Crohn's disease and 2.105 (95% CI 1.155-3.836) in ulcerative colitis. Interestingly, men and younger (10-39 years) patients have significantly higher risks of palmoplantar pustulosis (HR 19.682 [95% CI 3.867-100.169] and HR 14.318 [95% CI 2.915-70.315], respectively), whereas women and older (≥40 years) patients showed similar rates between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The risks of psoriasiform diseases are increased by anti-TNF agents in patients with IBD. Among psoriasiform diseases, the risk of palmoplantar pustulosis shows the biggest increase particularly in male and younger patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although renal function recovery of living kidney donors has been reported in a number of studies, many patients show poor recovery, and the long-term prognosis of these patients has not been well studied. In this investigation we explored the long-term prognosis of renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at 1 year after nephrectomy. METHODS Patients who underwent donor nephrectomy during the period from March 2006 to April 2014, with a follow-up creatinine study at 1 year postoperatively and more than 3 years of follow-up, were included in the study. Creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula) before and after surgery were studied. Age, sex, history of hypertension or diabetes, body mass index, blood pressure, complete blood count, preoperative routine serum chemistry, and urine study results were reviewed. RESULTS Among 841 patients who had donor nephrectomy, 362 were included in the study. There were 111 patients (30.6%) with eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 1 year postsurgery, and the median follow-up period was 62.8 months (interquartile range [IQR] 42.0-86.3 months). The maximum eGFR after 3-year follow-up was studied, and 48 patients (43.2%) never recovered eGFR to >60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Age, history of hypertension, preoperative eGFR, and eGFR at 1 year were predictive factors at univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis of these factors was studied, and age (52.5 [IQR 47-55.7] vs 47 [IQR 7-53] years, odds ratio [OR] 1.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-1.15, P = .007), history of hypertension (16.7% vs 1.6%, OR 10.0, 95% CI 1.09-92.49, P = .042), and eGFR at 1 year (53.9 [IQR 50.3-56.0] vs 57.0 [IQR 54.2-58.4] mL/min/1.73 m2, OR 0.8, 95% CI 0.72-0.92, P = .002) remained as significant risk factors. CONCLUSION Of all living donors, 15.7% had CKD after >3 years of follow-up. Close observation is warranted when donors have CKD after 1 year follow-up, as 43.2% fail to recover renal function. Patients who are older, have a history of hypertension, and have low eGFR at 1-year follow-up are especially at risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many living kidney donors are still at risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) 1 year after nephrectomy. Although some donors still experience poor renal function, many exhibit delayed recovery of renal function afterwards. We studied the factors related to delayed recovery of renal function in patients with CKD at 1 year after nephrectomy. METHODS Patients who underwent donor nephrectomy from March 2006 to April 2014 with a follow-up creatinine study at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and after 3 years of follow-up were included in the study. Age, sex, history of hypertension or diabetes, body mass index, blood pressure, complete blood cell count, preoperative routine serum chemistry, and urine study results were reviewed. RESULTS Among 275 donors, 83 (30.2%) who had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 1 year of follow-up were included in the study, and the eGFR was observed during a median follow-up of 62.0 months (interquartile range [IQR], 48.9-83.1 months). Those who had improvements in eGFR of >5 mL/min/1.73 m2 were included in the recovery group (n = 48 [57.8%]), and those who did not were included in the nonrecovery group (n = 35 [42.2%]). The preoperative and 1-year follow-up eGFR did not differ significantly between the 2 groups, and the maximum eGFR after 3 years was higher in the recovery group (68.68 mL/min/1.73 m2 [IQR, 61.81-75.64 mL/min/1.73 m2] vs 55.63 mL/min/1.73 m2 [IQR, 51.73-58.29 mL/min/1.73 m2]; P < .001). The recovery group was more likely to have a history of hypertension (4.2% vs 20%; P = .032), a lower body mass index (24.11 kg/m2 [IQR, 22.04-25.20 kg/m2] vs 25.25 kg/m2 [IQR, 23.23-26.44 kg/m2]; P = .01), and a lower preoperative uric acid level (4.7 mg/dL [IQR, 3.8-5.4 mg/dL] vs 5.3 mg/dL [IQR, 4.4-6.2 mg/dL]; P = .031). After multivariate logistic regression analysis, history of hypertension (odds ratio, 0.131; P = .022) and uric acid level (odds ratio, 0.641; P = .036,) remained as significant factors. CONCLUSIONS Although 30.2% of donors had CKD at 1 year after nephrectomy, 57.8% reported improved renal function. Those with a history of hypertension and high preoperative uric acid levels were less likely to have improvements in renal function and required close follow-up.

Abstract
Besides the initial description of IgG4-related pancreatic disease, other sites are now commonly involved. However, occurrence of IgG4-related disease is rare in organ transplanted patients. A 57-year-old man who received a kidney transplantation presented with recurrent dyspnea on exertion. A computed tomography scan of the chest revealed bilateral interlobular septal thickening and multiple tubular and branching small nodular lesions in the right upper lobe, and mass-like consolidation of the left middle lobe. Despite no elevation of serum IgG4 level, a percutaneous core needle biopsy on consolidative mass showed interstitial fibrosis and infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells to be more than > 20 per high power field. After treatment with glucocorticoids and rituximab, the consolidative mass of the left middle lobe disappeared.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated the effects of a soluble carbon monoxide-releasing molecule (CORM) in cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity and ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in vitro. METHODS The effects of CORM-3 (12.5-200 μM) were assessed in normal kidney epithelial cells (HK-2, LLC-PK1) and renal cancer cells (Caki-1, Caki-2) subjected to cisplatin (50-200 μM) or IRI. To induce IRI, cells were placed in an anaerobic chamber (37°C, 95% nitrogen, 5% carbon dioxide) for 48 hours. Cells were transferred to complete medium and incubated at 37°C, 5% carbon dioxide for 6 hours. Cell viability (CCK assays), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α messenger RNA (mRNA) levels (quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction), and protein expression of cleaved-caspase 3 and oxidative stress markers (including Erk1/2, JNK, and P38; Western blot) were assessed. RESULTS Viability after IRI was approximately 40% of control. Protective effects of CORM-3 in the IRI model were dose-dependent. Cell viability was 40% recovered in 200-μM CORM-3-pretreated cells compared with control. The protective effects of CORM-3 in cells exposed to cisplatin for 24 hours were weaker than in the IRI model. TNF-α mRNA was induced by stimulated IRI or cisplatin exposure; CORM-3 pretreatment attenuated the rise in TNF-α mRNA. IRI or cisplatin-induced activated oxidative stress markers decreased in CORM-3-pretreated cells. CORM-3 reduced expression of the apoptotic marker cleaved-caspase 3. CONCLUSION Our data demonstrate the protective effects of CORM-3 in cisplatin cytotoxicity and IRI in both normal kidney cells and renal cancer cells in vitro. CORM-3 exerts these effects by ameliorating inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE It was reported that a metabolic syndrome affected the remaining renal function after living donor nephrectomy. However, the measurement of waist circumference is unclear because it cannot distinguish between visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). We investigate the clinical correlation between body adipose tissue and renal function recovery after living donor nephrectomy. METHODS From July 2013 to February 2015, 75 living kidney donors were enrolled. The VAT and SAT were measured by preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan. Body mass index (BMI), VAT, SAT, and VAT-to-SAT ratio were analyzed according to a postoperative renal function recovery. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was performed to predict estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at postoperative 6 months for BMI, VAT, SAT, and VAT-to-SAT ratio. RESULTS The lowest value of eGFR (57.52 ± 11.20 mL/min/1.73 m2) was measured at postoperative day 7. There was no statistically significant difference in eGFR between 1 month and 3 months. BMI, VAT, SAT, and VAT-to-SAT ratio showed a statistically significant correlation with each other (Pearson correlation, P < .05). Also, the recovery time of eGFR was correlated with VAT-to-SAT ratio; it was significant at postoperative 1, 3, and 6 months. VAT-to-SAT ratio (0.654, 95% confidence interval 0.525-0.783, P = .024) had higher predictive value in ROC. CONCLUSION We developed a new variable to predict the value of lower eGFR (less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) at a postoperative 6 months in living kidney donor. According to a CT scan, VAT-to-SAT ratio can predict renal function recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a biomarker for acute kidney injury. This study was conducted to determine the clinical implications of perioperative plasma NGAL levels for renal function after living donor nephrectomy. METHODS Between July 2013 and May 2014, 112 donors underwent live donor nephrectomy at our institution. Donor plasma NGAL levels were measured perioperatively for 6 months. The relationship between perioperative plasma NGAL and recovery of renal function was analyzed. Renal function was estimated with the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula. RESULTS Mean preoperative NGAL was 62.1 ± 29.5 ng/mL. Plasma NGAL was most elevated 1 week postoperatively (218 ± 95.5 ng/mL), and stabilized after 1 month (122.9 ± 45.3 ng/mL). Preoperative plasma NGAL was not correlated with donor age or preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR), but was negatively correlated with 6-month eGFR (r = -0.458, P < .001). During the observation period, plasma NGAL at 1 week was most correlated with 6-month eGFR (r = -0.554, P < .001). An ROC curve analysis showed that age, preoperative eGFR, and 1-week postoperative plasma NGAL were highly predictive of developing of chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined as eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m(2), 6 months postoperatively (AUC = 0.91, P < .001). One-week postoperative plasma NGAL was also independently associated with CKD risk at 6 months (odds ratio: 1.13 for each 10 ng/mL increase, P = .013). CONCLUSION Plasma NGAL becomes elevated after kidney donation and can provide information about acute kidney injury during the compensatory hyperfiltration period. Donors with increased perioperative plasma NGAL require close observation because their possibility of developing CKD after donation may be greater.

Abstract
The authors analyzed the difference in weight gain and nutrition, according to the BMI before pregnancy. They divided 91 subjects into BMI group I (normal weight) and BMI group 2 (overweight) before pregnancy. In general, the BMI before pregnancy did not influence weight gain but, in the BMI group 2, the intakes of all of cholesterol, total fatty acids, vitamin B 12, iron, and copper were significantly higher. Neither group exhibited sufficient intake of vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, iron, or zinc. Pre-pregnancy weight management and nutrition during pregnancy is very important.

The authors evaluated the diagnosis of the cause of post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) by computed tomography (CT). They retrospectively transferred 15 patients with PPH from local clinics between January 2010 and December 2011. CT revealed diverse causes. Only two cases had no additional finding on CT. They found deep tearing extending to the lower uterine segment and uterine artery in two cases, whereas five cases were an arteriovenous malformation, and one case was a uterine pseudoaneurysm.

Abstract
Simulation methods were used to generate paired data from a simulated population that included the age-based process of movement and the length-based process of gear selection. The age-based process caused bias in the estimates of growth parameters assuming random at length, even when relatively few age classes were affected. Methods that assumed random at age were biased by the subsequent inclusion of the length-based process of gear selection. Additional knowledge of the age structure of the sampled area is needed to ensure an unbiased estimate of the growth parameters when using the length-conditional approach in the presence of age-based movement. Estimates of the variability in the length-at-age relationship were better estimated with the length-conditional than the traditional method even when the assumptions of random at length were violated. Inclusion of paired observations of length and associated age inside the population dynamics model may be the most appropriate way of estimating growth.

Abstract
An infrared (IR) thermography is the preferred diagnostic that can quantify heat flux by measuring the surface temperature distributions of the divertor plates. The IR thermography is successfully instrumented on Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR). In this study, finite volume method is considered to solve the heat conduction equations. 1D-, 2D-, and 3D models are developed and compared with various calculation algorithms, such as Duhamel's theorem and THEODOR. These comparisons show good agreement. In order to acquire more efficient and reliable calculation results, we consider two numerical analysis schemes, influence of temperature on thermal properties and image stabilization. Recently, this reconstruction code is successfully applied to the KSTAR IR thermography.

Abstract
Racial disparities in how pain is treated in the emergency department (ED) for toothache have not been reported. Due to increasing reliance on EDs for dental care, the authors investigated whether race/ethnicity and insurance type are associated with treatment for toothache pain. The authors conducted a nationally representative cross-sectional study of ED toothache visits by adults (19 to 64 y old), using the 2008-2010 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey. Multinomial regression models accounted for the complex survey design. Outcomes were pain medicines received: none, nonopioid only, or opioids. After adjusting for sociodemographic factors, black patients had 1.99 greater odds (P < 0.005) than white patients of receiving only a nonopioid pain medicine for toothache. Visits made by patients on Medicare, Medicaid, uninsured, or "other" insurance status had greater odds than the privately insured of receiving only a nonopioid pain medicine rather than an opioid (odds ratios, respectively: 4.8, P < 0.001; 2.1, P ≤ 0.001; 2.3, P < 0.01; and 4.1, P < 0.001). Blacks are less likely than whites to receive opioids in the ED for a toothache, even with similar levels of pain. Nonprivately insured patients have lower odds than the privately insured to receive opioids for toothache pain. A better understanding of the etiology of these disparities could lead to directed interventions. Knowledge Transfer Statement: This study presents findings novel to the body of pain and oral health care literature. Because there is an increasing reliance on the emergency department to address dental pain, disparities in how toothache pain is treated will be of great interest to a growing number of Americans, clinicians, and policy makers.
