Abstract
The superposition of a fundamental laser pulse and its second harmonic can form an asymmetric laser field that is useful in many applications. The temporal characterization of the two-color laser field becomes necessary. However, the temporal characterization of the two-color laser pulse is a challenging task due to its broad bandwidth and a spectral gap between the two frequency components. Here we demonstrate the temporal characterization of the two-color laser field using multiple ionization yield measurements near the laser focus. This new approach enables the complete temporal characterization of the two-color laser field, including the relative phase between the two frequency components.

Abstract
Introduction Adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD) often show reduced prefrontal functional connectivity with the subcortical regions than healthy controls (HC) (Tang et al., 2018). However, relatively little is known about longitudinal effects of antidepressant (AD) treatment on resting state functional connectivity (RSFC) in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Objectives This study aimed to investigate abnormal PFC RSFC in MDD adolescents compared to HC and longitudinal effects of AD on PFC RSFC. Methods
This study included 59 adolescents with MDD and 43 HC. MDD adolescents were treated with escitalopram in an 8 week, open-label trial. The treatment outcome was assessed by Children’s Depression Rating Scale (CDRS-R) and patients showing at least a 40% improvement in CDRS-R scores from baseline to week 8 were defined as “responders”. Functional and T1 images collected before and after treatment were processed using AFNI and Freesurfer. Our seed was the lateral PFC (LPFC, BA46). T-tests and repeated measures ANCOVAs, controlling for age and IQ, were conducted to examine abnormal PFC RSFC and longitudinal effects of AD on LPFC RSFC. Results Relative to HC, MDD showed increased LPFC RSFC with the posterior middle temporal gyrus (pMTG) and superior frontal cortex (SFG) involved in attentional networks. Responders showed greater changes in LPFC RSFC with the MTG and SFG after AD treatment compared to non-responders and HC (Figure 1). ![]()
Conclusions Our finding suggests that reduced LPFC RSFC with the pMTG and SFG reflecting decreased attentional network connectivity may serve as a biomarker to predict AD treatment outcome in adolescents with MDD. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
Yolk sac tumors (YSTs), which are also called endodermal sinus tumors, are malignant tumors of germ cell origin. These tumors usually occur in the gonads, but 20% of cases have been reported at extragonadal sites. The head and neck is a rarely affected region that accounts for just 1% of all malignant tumors of germ cell origin. In addition, YSTs arise mostly in childhood. We present a rare pathologically pure case of primary adult YST in the sinonasal area. A 45-year-old male patient presented with a rapidly growing mass in the nasal cavity, which caused nasal obstruction and bloody post-nasal drip. The histopathologic features indicated pure YST, and immunohistochemical analysis revealed positive reactivity for Sal-like protein 4 and alpha-fetoprotein. Herein, we discuss the clinical, radiologic, and histologic features of this YST and review other cases of sinonasal YST in adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although surgery is the primary treatment for ampullary cancer (AC), the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy (CTx) has not yet been confirmed. METHODS AC patients who were administered 5-fluorouracil(FU)/leucovorin(LV)-based CTx after curative intent surgery between 2011 and 2019 were included. Prognosis was compared between the observation (OB) and CTx groups after propensity score matching (PSM) using perioperative variables to control differences in patient characteristics. RESULTS Before PSM, of 475 patients, those in the CTx group (n = 281) had worse 5-year overall survival (OS) (82.1% vs. 78.5%, p = 0.017) and worse 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) (54.9% vs. 75.7%, p < 0.001) than those in the OB group (n = 194). In addition, the CTx group had a higher rate of poor prognostic factors such as a high T stage (p < 0.001), node metastasis (p < 0.001), and poor differentiation (p < 0.001). After PSM, perioperative outcomes were comparable. In addition, there were no significant differences in OS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.085; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.688-1.710; p = 0.726) or RFS (HR, 0.883; 95% CI, 0.613 1.272; p = 0.505) between the CTx (n = 123) and OB (n = 123) groups even after stratification by TNM stage. Intestinal subtype showed better 5-year OS (83.7% vs 33.2%, p = 0.015) and RFS (46.5% vs 24.9%, p = 0.035) rate compared with pancreatobiliary/mixed subtype. CONCLUSION Patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy based on 5-FU/LV showed comparable oncologic outcomes to patients in the OB group even after stratification by tumor stage. The patients with intestinal subtype showed oncologic benefit for adjuvant 5-FU/LV CTx compared with pancreatobiliary or mixed subtypes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
While clinical significance of ST-T wave abnormalities (STA) in rest electrocardiography (ECG) on long-term cardiovascular outcomes has been on debate, few studies have been reported on the association between the changes in ST-T waves in rest ECG and cardiovascular outcomes in low risk populations. We investigate the changing patterns of STA in rest ECG and the predictive value of the changes in ST-T wave in rest ECG for cardiovascular events in an asymptomatic general population.
Methods
A longitudinal community-based cohort study was conducted for 12 years. Koreans aged 40–69 years were followed biennially through scheduled revisit for comprehensive assessments. Among 10,030 participants, 6,648 participants who did not have any cardiovascular diseases, angina-related symptoms or pathologic Q waves in rest ECG at baseline were included for analysis. Changes in STAs were defined using the changes between ECG at baseline and that at the first revisit. A major adverse cardiovascular events was defined as a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, clinical diagnosis of coronary artery disease and stroke.
Results
Among 5,924 participants without STA at baseline, only 187 participants (3.2%) developed new STA. Among 724 patients (10.9%) with STA at baseline, 274 patients (37.8%) persistently showed STA at the first revisit. MACEs occurred more frequently in the participants persistently with STA and those with newly-developed STA than in the participants persistently without STA (Figure 1). Multivariate Cox-proportional hazard models showed that a higher risk of MACE was only associated with the persisted STA (HR 1.69; 95% CI 1.10–2.63). In participants with baseline STA, persisted T-wave flattening was associated with a higher risk of MACE, whereas T-wave inversion, either persisted or fluctuated was not associated with a higher risk of MACE, compared with persistent absence of STA (Figure 2). In the participants without baseline STAs, multivariate Cox-proportional hazard model showed that newly-developed T-wave flattening (HR 1.85; 95% CI 0.20–2.84), not T-wave inversion (HR 1.50; 95% CI 0.85–2.65) was associated with a higher risk of MACE. Survival receiver operating curve analysis showed that the changes in STAs had a C-index of 0.538 (95% CI 0.511–0.558), a sensitivity of 13.0% and a specificity of 92.5% and add only a small value to the predictive power of 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases risk estimator (C-index without STA changes 0.708 [0.681–0.736] vs. C-index with STA changes 0.721 [0.694–0.748]).
Conclusions
STAs uncommonly developed while frequently disappeared spontaneously in the asymptomatic general population. Persisted STA and newly developed STA in rest ECG were predictive of future cardiovascular events in the asymptomatic general population. However, the changes in STAs did not significantly improve the predictive value of the conventional risk estimator, when added.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is a useful tool to identify hypertension and to decide whether a patient's blood pressure (BP) is controlled. The use of automatized oscillometric BP measurement devices has become increasingly popular with help of information technology and internet of things to the devices. However, applying HBPM to daily clinical practices is still challenging, because most patients with hypertension are in age groups not familiar to digital devices and internet and high BP criteria using average home BP values are often useless in outpatient clinics without easily accessible average BP calculation tools. Therefore, we developed a simple and straightforward method to interpret HBPM through counts of BP ≥135/85 mmHg.
Methods
We simulated 400 cases of HBPM using a random number generator function in statistical software. The simulated average home systolic BP (SBP) and its standard deviation (SD) were 125±15 mmHg and 12±5 mmHg and the number of HBP readings was 24 times. The simulated diastolic BP (DBP) was randomly selected to 50–75% of the SBP. The validation of the binary interpretation method was conducted using actual HBPM data from 386 subjects in a rural area of South Korea. Receiver operating characteristics curve analysis was conducted, and linear regression and logarithmic models were fitted between the numbers of home BP ≥135/85 mmHg and mean BP. Hypertension was defined with average home BP ≥135/85 mmHg.
Results
In the simulated cohort, hypertension was presented in 197 cases (49.3%). The C-index of the numbers of BP readings ≥135/85 mmHg was 0.994 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.990–0.998), and ≥12 of 24 BP readings ≥135/85 mmHg showed a sensitivity of 95.4%, a specificity of 95.1% and an accuracy of 95.3% for the diagnosis of hypertension. In validation cohort, the numbers of home BP measurements varied from 8 to 81 times. The validation cohort similarly showed that the C-index of the ratio between the number of high BP readings (≥135/85 mmHg) to the number of BP measurements (R-NHBP/NBP) was 0.985 (95% CI, 0.976–0.994) and the best accuracy was shown at R-NHBP/NBP of ≥0.45. R-NHBP/NBP of ≥0.5 showed a sensitivity of 0.957, a specificity of 0.907 and an accuracy of 0.927. The accuracy of the R-NHBP/NBP of ≥0.5 decreased as SD and the range of SBP increased, whereas it did not change with the number of measurements (Figure 1). R-NHBP/NBP <0.2 predicted normotension and R-NHBP/NBP >0.8 predicted hypertension in 95% confidence. Mean widths of the 95 prediction intervals for the average SBP and DBP were 18.2 mmHg and 12.6 mmHg, respectively (Figure 2).
Conclusion
Counting the number of BP ≥135/85 mmHg can provide accurate assessments for the BP levels. R-NHBP/NBP of ≥0.5 is a simple and accurate marker of high BP in HBPM, and R-NHBP/NBP could be a useful tool to assess BP levels in patients practicing HBPM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Grade 3 neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) of gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) origin with Ki-67 indices <55% do not respond well to platinum-based chemotherapy. The combination of capecitabine and temozolomide (CAPTEM) has shown favorable responses in grade 1-2 NENs, but has rarely been studied in patients with grade 3 NENs. PATIENTS AND METHODS This open-label, single-arm phase II trial included patients with unresectable or metastatic grade 3 NENs of GEP origin with Ki-67 indices <55% enrolled between June 2017 and July 2020. Patients received oral capecitabine 750 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1 to 14 and oral temozolomide 200 mg/m2 once daily on days 10 to 14 every 4 weeks. Histologic findings were centrally reviewed after the completion of enrollment. The primary endpoint was overall response rate, and the secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events. RESULTS Of the 30 patients included in the full analysis set, 1 (3.3%) achieved complete response, 8 (26.7%) had partial responses, and 14 (46.7%) had stable disease, making the overall response rate 30.0%. At a median follow-up of 19.2 months, the median PFS was 5.9 months and the median OS was not reached. Patients with well-differentiated NENs showed significantly better median PFS (9.3 months versus 3.5 months, P = 0.005) and median OS (not reached versus 6.2 months, P = 0.004) than patients with poorly differentiated tumors. Expression of O6-methyl-guanine methyltransferase protein did not correlate with clinical outcomes. The most common grade 3-4 adverse events were thrombocytopenia (10%), anemia (6.7%), and nausea (6.7%). CONCLUSIONS CAPTEM was effective and well tolerated in patients with grade 3 GEP-NENs with Ki-67 indices <55%, with superior efficacy outcomes compared with the historical controls receiving platinum-based chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The heterogeneous immune landscapes of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remain largely unknown. Here we aimed to investigate the implications of tissue-resident memory (TRM)-related features of tumour-infiltrating CD8+ T cells (CD8+ TILs) from ICC patients. METHODS From ICC patients, we obtained blood samples and ICC surgical specimens (n = 33). We performed multicolour flow cytometry, multiplexed immunohistochemistry and RNA sequencing. RESULTS When compared to peripheral CD8+ T cells, the CD8+ TILs included significantly higher proportions of the CD69+ CD103- and CD69+ CD103+ TRM-like subsets (P < .001 for both). Relative to CD69- and CD69+ CD103- cells, the CD69+ CD103+ CD8+ TILs harboured higher levels of T-cell markers representing tumour specificity (ie CD39), proliferation (ie Ki-67) and T-cell activation (ie HLA-DR and CD38) (all P < .001). Moreover, compared to the stroma, the tumour margin and core density each had a significantly higher density of CD103+ CD8+ TILs (P < .001 for both). ICCs with high proportions of CD69+ CD103+ cells displayed higher levels of parameters associated with response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)-including number of CD8+ TIL infiltrates (P = .019), PD-L1 expression in the tumour (P = .046) and expression of the T cell-inflamed gene signature (P < .001). ICCs with lower proportions of CD69+ CD103+ CD8+ TILs exhibited significant enrichment of genes related to the Wnt/β-catenin (P < .001) and TGF-β pathways (P = .002). CONCLUSION CD69+ CD103+ TRM-like CD8+ TILs represent prominent tumour-specific immune responses and hold promise as a potential therapeutic target in ICC patients. Differential TRM-related features of ICCs may help develop future immunotherapeutic strategies such as maximizing TRM responses or inhibiting pathways contributing to immune evasion.

Abstract
Discovery of blood biomarkers to evaluate exercise-induced muscle damage have attracted many researchers and coaches. This study aimed to determine changes in circulating myomesin 3 fragments as a novel biomarker for exercise-induced muscle damage. Nine healthy males performed 10 sets of 40 repetitions of one-leg calf-raise exercise by the load corresponding to the half of their body weight. Muscle symptoms were evaluated by a visual analog scale (VAS). Blood samples were collected before and 2, 4, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h post-exercise. Plasma myomesin 3 fragments levels were significantly increased at 96 h after the eccentric exercise. The myomesin 3 fragments levels were correlated with other biomarkers of muscle damage and the muscle symptoms. These results suggest that the circulating myomesin 3 fragments levels are potential biomarkers reflecting eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to develop a multidimensional frailty assessment tool including physical, psychological, and social frailty and to examine its psychometric property in a clinical setting. METHODS Through a literature review and gathered expert perspectives, the Korean Frailty Scale (KFS, 0-6 points) was developed with six questions about weight loss, self-assessment of health status, energy loss, fatigue, social network, and support. The psychometric property was then validated in community-dwelling older adults using the Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Survey (2016-2019). Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analyses determined optimal cutoff scores for frail, pre-frail, and robust. The predictive validity for mortality, hospitalization, fall events, and disability, such as declines in activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) was assessed after adjusting for age, sex, education level, household income, body-mass index, smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, marital status, current employment, and residence. RESULTS The 2,923 participants (mean age: 76.0±3.9 years, female: 52.2%) were categorized into frail (≥3 points, 21.1%), pre-frail (1-2 points, 50.2%) and robust (0 points, 28.7%) groups. Sensitivity (88.3%), specificity (91.6%), and the area under the ROC curve (0.730) for the frail group were sufficient to be accepted as a new frailty scale. The frail group had increased risk of falling (relative risk [RR]: 1.810, 95% confidence interval: 1.354-2.420), mortality (hazard ratio, 6.596, 1.802-24.137), and IADL decline (RR, 1.638, 1.231-2.178). CONCLUSION The KFS is a new multidimensional frailty scale for clinical geriatric assessment that was confirmed as effective for predicting adverse health outcomes in Korean community-dwelling older adults.

Spatial Distribution and Prognostic Implications of Tumor-Infiltrating FoxP3- CD4+ T Cells in Biliary Tract Cancer. Cancer Res Treat 2021; 53:162-171. [PMID: 32878426 PMCID: PMC7812013 DOI: 10.4143/crt.2020.704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2020] [Accepted: 08/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The clinical implications of tumor-infiltrating T cell subsets and their spatial distribution in biliary tract cancer (BTC) patients treated with gemcitabine plus cisplatin were investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 52 BTC patients treated with palliative gemcitabine plus cisplatin were included. Multiplexed immunohistochemistry was performed on tumor tissues, and immune infiltrates were separately analyzed for the stroma, tumor margin, and tumor core. RESULTS The density of CD8+ T cells, FoxP3- CD4+ helper T cells, and FoxP3+ CD4+ regulatory T cells was significantly higher in the tumor margin than in the stroma and tumor core. The density of LAG3- or TIM3-expressing CD8+ T cell and FoxP3- CD4+ helper T cell infiltrates was also higher in the tumor margin. In extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, there was a higher density of T cell subsets in the tumor core and regulatory T cells in all regions. A high density of FoxP3- CD4+ helper T cells in the tumor margin showed a trend toward better progression-free survival (PFS) (p=0.092) and significantly better overall survival (OS) (p=0.012). In multivariate analyses, a high density of FoxP3- CD4+ helper T cells in the tumor margin was independently associated with favorable PFS and OS. CONCLUSION The tumor margin is the major site for the active infiltration of T cell subsets with higher levels of LAG3 and TIM3 expression in BTC. The density of tumor margin-infiltrating FoxP3- CD4+ helper T cells may be associated with clinical outcomes in BTC patients treated with gemcitabine plus cisplatin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The concept of frailty has been suggested to comprise physical, mental, and social phenotypes. However, there is no general consensus about the appropriate components for assessing frailty. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to reach consensus on components of frailty assessment using the Delphi process. METHODS To achieve consensus on the definition of frailty, a modified Delphi method was used. Geriatric and gerontologic experts were selected from various fields. The detailed components of frailty were composed of data from the Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study. Establishing consensus and collecting opinions from experts were conducted using a modified Delphi method. RESULTS Overall, nine domains with 14 components of frailty assessment were accepted. There was consensus on the necessity of a broad phenotype including physical, mental, and social frailty. CONCLUSIONS Consensus on the components of a frailty assessment in a clinical setting is achieved through the Delphi process to establish a new tool of frailty assessment.
