Abstract
Abstract
Background: There are many factors that might contribute to the delay of surgery in patients with breast cancer. Previous studies investigate the influence of delay of surgery, but they reported inconsistent results. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of time of surgery on prognosis of breast cancer.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of the patients with breast cancer, who received surgery between 1992 and 2009, by using data from Korea Breast Cancer Society Registry. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression model were used to evaluate the impact of time to surgery in breast cancer and subgroup analyses were performed for each disease stage and molecular subtype.
Result: A total 14727 patients were included for analysis. Delay of surgery more than 31 days was associated with worse survival for breast cancer [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.16; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.936-2.408, p<0.001]. Subgroup analyses revealed that over 31 days of surgical delay were significantly associated with worse survival in hormone receptor positive and HER-2 negative (p<0.001), hormone receptor positive and HER-2 positive (p<0.001), hormone receptor negative and HER-2 positive (p<0.001), triple negative (p<0.001) and stage II, III breast cancer patients (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Surgical delay of more than 31 days were independent risk factors for worse outcome of breast cancer in each molecular subtype and breast cancer group except stage 0 and I. Although preoperative evaluation is required, surgical delay should be shortened to enhance survival of breast cancer, especially in patients with tumor size more than 2cm or presence of lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to report the incidence of massive bleeding after endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural pancreaticobiliary drainage (EUS-TPBD) and the clinical outcomes in patients with this condition treated with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a 9-year retrospective analysis of 797 EUS-TPBD procedures (excluding gallbladder or pseudocysts) in 729 patients. Among them, twelve (12/729, 1.65%) patients were referred for TAE to manage active bleeding adjacent to the TPBD sites. There were 8 men and 4 women with a mean age of 66.1 years±13.4 (SD) (range: 45-89 years). The clinical and procedure data of these 12 patients were reviewed. RESULTS Thirteen TAE procedures in 12 patients were performed. The bleeding sites were the left hepatic artery (n=7), the right hepatic artery (n=3), the left gastric artery (n=1), the left accessory gastric artery (n=1) and gastroduodenal artery (n=1). TAE was performed with gelatin sponge particles (n=1), coil (n=1) and n-butyl-2 cyanoacrylate with/without coils (n=11), with technical and clinical success rates of 100% (13/13) and 85% (11/13), respectively. Re-bleeding following embolization with gelatin sponge particles occurred in one patient. Procedure-related ischemic hepatitis was observed in another patient with pancreatic cancer with portal vein involvement. CONCLUSION On the basis of our results, TAE using n-butyl-2 cyanoacrylate seems safe and effective for the treatment of bleeding after EUS-TPBD procedures. When the portal vein is compromised, TAE of the hepatic artery can cause ischemic liver damage.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Estrogen Receptor 1 (ESR1) gene encodes an estrogen receptor, which regulates cell proliferation and promotes tumor progression in estrogen receptor(ER)-positive breast cancer (BC). Therefore, endocrine therapy that inhibiting ER downstream signal, is the most effective treatment strategy in ER-positive BC. However, about 25% of patients with primary disease and almost all patients with metastases will present with or eventually develop endocrine resistance. And genetic alteration of ESR1 is now identified as the endocrine resistance mechanism. However, a few data from clinical trials or public data base exists and could not reflect real world clinic. Therefore, we aimed to identify the frequency and type of ESR1 genetic alterations in BCs through this large scaled study.
Methods: We performed targeted ultra-deep sequencing (CancerSCAN™) using BC tissue specimens. This sequencing was covered entire coding area of ESR1 gene and also detected copy number alteration and translocation of ESR1.
Results: Targeted ultra-deep sequencing of ESR1 was performed using 618 BC tissues. Of 618 tissue samples, 253(40.9%) were MBCs, 362(58.6%) were early BCs (EBCs) and 3 were not identified. In terms of subtypes, 220 ER-positive BCs, 122 ER-positive and HER2-positive BCs, 119 HER2-positive and 153 triple-negative BCs (TNBCs) were included. BCs from patients under 40 year-old were 277(44.8%)(Median: 43.0, range: 23.5 -75.6). ESR1 genetic alterations were identified in 21 BCs (5 EBCs and 16 MBCs). In EBCs, 3 cases were observed in TNBCs and 2 cases were in ER-positive BCs (2.6% and 1.2%, respectively). All five EBC were treatment naïve status. Of 16 cases of ESR1 alterations in MBCs, 10 cases of ESR1 alterations were detected in ER-positive BCs (17.6%), 5cases in ER and HER2-positive BCs(6.7%) and 1 in HER2-positive BCs (1.2%). All ER-positive MBCs were treated with more than one line of endocrine therapy. Most commonly detected genetic alteration was single nucleotide variant (SNV) (15 of 21, 71.4%). Thirteen were in ligand binding domain and two cases occurred in activation function-1 (AF-1) domain (P79A and G145S). D538G and V392I were most frequently mutated loci followed by Y537N (3, 3 and 2 cases, respectively) and only metastatic ER-positive BCs harbored ESR1 activating mutation. Four copy number (CN) amplification in 2 ER-positive and 2 ER and HER2-positive BCs, one CN deletion in TNBC and one ESR1 fusion in ER and HER2-positive BC were also detected (19.0%, 4.8% and 4.8%, respectively). In frame ESR1 fusion was occurred between ESR1 and NPHS1 genes.
Conclusion: In this experimental study, ESR1 genetic alterations were frequently detected in ER-positive MBC but ER-negative or EBC also harbored. The type of genetic alterations varied including SNVs, CN alterations and translocation and ESR1-NPHS1 fusion is the novel genetic alteration that has not been reported. To identify the role of ESR1 genetic alteration in ER-negative BCs and novel translocation, further functional validation would be warranted (Clinical trials.gov Number :NCT02591966).

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose Numerous studies demonstrated that breast cancer in young women (BCY) has unfavorable prognostic features and unfavorable subtype. However, there were few studies to evaluate the effect on the prognosis of breast cancer according to the subtype disparities by age especially BCY. We analyzed breast cancer mortality stratified tumor subtype according to age among the patients with less than 50 year-old. Patients and Methods Data obtained from the Korean Breast Cancer Society Registry (KBCSR), patients diagnosed with invasive breast cancer were retrospectively between 2003 and 2010. We excluded patients with male breast cancer, underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy, distant metastasis or inflammatory breast cancer at presentation, and other histopathology except invasive ductal or invasive lobular carcinoma. We also excluded patients with lack of immunohistochemistry data and short-term follow-up duration (<12 months). Results We identified 37,865 patients, and excluded by study protocol. Among those, 30,793 patients with breast cancer for eligible for analysis, 793 (2.6%) were 20-29 years and 8,926 (28.8%) were 30-39 years of age. Median follow-up duration was 84 months. Mean age was 42.4 years old. Younger patients with breast cancer were more likely to have advanced stage, higher nuclear grade, present lymphovascular invasion, and more likely to be unfavorable subtype such as triple negative breast cancer (TNBC)

In multivariate analysis for overall survival, as patients were younger group, hazard ratio was increased, and the patients with TNBC showed higher HR than HER-2, Luminal B, and Luminal A subtype (P< .0001, P< .0001, P< .0001, and P< .0001, respectively). Stratified by subtype, luminal subtype showed significant worse prognosis as the age group was younger, while as, Her-2 and TNBC subtype showed no significantly difference by the age group. Conclusion Patients with 20s breast cancer showed unfavorable characteristics and worse prognosis than 30s and older aged group. Stratified by tumor subtype, breast cancer in 20s with luminal subtype showed worse prognosis, while as HER-2 and TNBC showed no significantly different compare to breast cancer in 30s.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Extension-block pinning represents a simple and reliable surgical technique. Although this procedure is commonly performed successfully, some patients develop postoperative extension loss. To date, the relationship between extension-block Kirschner wire (K-wire) insertion angle and postoperative extension loss in mallet finger fracture remains unclear. HYPOTHESIS We aimed to clarify this relationship and further evaluate how various operative and non-operative factors affect postoperative extension loss after extension-block pinning for mallet finger fracture. MATERIALS AND METHOD A retrospective study was conducted to investigate a relationship between extension block K-wire insertion angle and postoperative extension loss. The inclusion criteria were: (1) a dorsal intra-articular fracture fragment involving 30% of the base of the distal phalanx with or without volar subluxation of the distal phalanx; and (2) <3 weeks delay from the injury without treatment. Extension-block K-wire insertion angle and fixation angle of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint were assessed using lateral radiograph at immediate postoperative time. Postoperative extension loss was assessed by using lateral radiograph at latest follow-up. Extension-block K-wire insertion angle was defined as the acute angle between extension block K-wire and longitudinal axis of middle phalangeal head. DIP joint fixation angle was defined as the acute angle between the distal phalanx and middle phalanx longitudinal axes. RESULTS Seventy-five patients were included. The correlation analysis revealed that extension-block K-wire insertion angle had a negative correlation with postoperative extension loss, whereas fracture size and time to operation had a positive correlation (correlation coefficient for extension block K-wire angle: -0.66, facture size: +0.67, time to operation: +0.60). When stratifying patients in terms of negative and positive fixation angle of the DIP joint, the independent t-test showed that mean postoperative extension loss is -3.67° and +4.54° (DIP joint fixation angles of <0° and ≥0°, respectively, P=0.024). When stratifying patients in terms of extension-block K-wire insertion angle (30°, 30°-40°, >40°), ANOVA showed significantly less postoperative extension loss for higher insertion angles (>40°) than for medium insertion angles (30°-40°). Mean postoperative extension loss difference between higher insertion angle (>40°) and medium insertion angle (30°-40°) was 11° (P=0.002). DISCUSSION Using an insertion angle of the extension-block K-wire of 40°-45° and a slightly hyperextended position of the DIP joint may help reducing postoperative extension loss. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic level III.

Abstract
Background There are no effective treatments or validated clinical response markers in systemic sclerosis (SSc). We assessed imaging biomarkers and performed gene expression profiling in a single-arm open-label clinical trial of tyrosine kinase inhibitor dasatinib in patients with SSc-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). Methods Primary objectives were safety and pharmacokinetics. Secondary outcomes included clinical assessments, quantitative high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest, serum biomarker assays and skin biopsy-based gene expression subset assignments. Clinical response was defined as decrease of >5 or >20% from baseline in the modified Rodnan Skin Score (MRSS). Pulmonary function was assessed at baseline and day 169. Results Dasatinib was well-tolerated in 31 patients receiving drug for a median of nine months. No significant changes in clinical assessments or serum biomarkers were seen at six months. By quantitative HRCT, 65% of patients showed no progression of lung fibrosis, and 39% showed no progression of total ILD. Among 12 subjects with available baseline and post-treatment skin biopsies, three were improvers and nine were non-improvers. Improvers mapped to the fibroproliferative or normal-like subsets, while seven out of nine non-improvers were in the inflammatory subset (p = 0.0455). Improvers showed stability in forced vital capacity (FVC) and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), while both measures showed a decline in non-improvers (p = 0.1289 and p = 0.0195, respectively). Inflammatory gene expression subset was associated with higher baseline HRCT score (p = 0.0556). Non-improvers showed significant increase in lung fibrosis (p = 0.0313). Conclusions In patients with SSc-ILD dasatinib treatment was associated with acceptable safety profile but no significant clinical efficacy. Patients in the inflammatory gene expression subset showed increase in skin fibrosis, decreasing pulmonary function and worsening lung fibrosis during the study. These findings suggest that target tissue-specific gene expression analyses can help match patients and therapeutic interventions in heterogeneous diseases such as SSc, and quantitative HRCT is useful for assessing clinical outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine whether the rate of clozapine use, an indicator of refractoriness in schizophrenia, is associated with the season of birth and age at onset in patients with schizophrenia based on nationwide data. METHODS Patients with schizophrenia (n = 114 749) who received prescriptions for antipsychotic medication between 2008 and 2014 were retrospectively identified from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database. The study population was divided into three groups based on their age at the onset of schizophrenia (early, middle, and late onset). We assessed differences in the month of birth between patients and the general population. In addition, the cumulative clozapine use was calculated. RESULTS Compared to the late-onset schizophrenia group, the early- and middle-onset groups showed a higher probability of birth during the winter season. In addition, the early-onset group showed the highest cumulative clozapine use rate. In the middle-onset group, the initiation of clozapine use was significantly earlier for patients born in winter compared to those born in summer. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that the age at onset is an important factor in predicting the prognosis of schizophrenia patients. The season of birth also affects the prognosis, but with less robustness. Specifically, it appears that early disease onset and winter birth might be associated with poor outcomes in Korean patients with schizophrenia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the neurodevelopmental outcomes at 18 to 21 months corrected age (CA) of infants born at <29 weeks that received room air, an intermediate oxygen concentration or 100% oxygen at the initiation of resuscitation. STUDY DESIGN In this retrospective cohort study, we compared neonatal and neurodevelopmental outcomes at 18 to 21 months CA among inborn infants born before 29 weeks' gestation that received room air, intermediate oxygen concentration or 100% oxygen at the initiation of resuscitation. RESULTS Of 1509 infants, 445 received room air, 483 received intermediate oxygen concentrations and 581 received 100% oxygen. Compared to infants that received room air, the primary outcome of death or neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) was not different in intermediate oxygen (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.01; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.77, 1.34) or 100% oxygen (aOR 1.03; 95% CI 0.78, 1.35). Compared to room air, there was no difference in odds of death or severe NDI in intermediate oxygen (aOR 1.14; 95% CI 0.82, 1.58) or 100% oxygen group (aOR 1.22; 95% CI 0.90, 1.67). The odds of severe NDI among survivors were significantly higher in infants that received 100% oxygen as compared to room air (aOR 1.57, 95% CI 1.05, 2.35). CONCLUSIONS We observed no significant difference in the primary composite outcomes of death or NDI and death or severe NDI at 18 to 21 months CA between infants that received room air, intermediate oxygen concentration or 100% oxygen at the initiation of resuscitation. However, use of 100% oxygen was associated with increased odds of severe NDI among survivors as compared to room air.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although a stroke from atherosclerosis in the basilar artery (BA) often presents with mild initial stroke severity, it has heterogeneous clinical courses. We investigated the efficacy of digital subtraction angiography (DSA)-based collateral perfusion evaluation in association with long-term outcomes of medically treated symptomatic basilar artery stenosis. METHODS From a registry database of all consecutive patients with stroke, we included 98 medically treated patients (due to mild initial stroke severity) [National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores ≤ 4; symptomatic basilar artery stenosis, 70-99%] with available initial diagnostic DSA. Basilar collateral scoring was performed via the DSA, using a modified version of the American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology grading system in both the superior cerebellar artery and anterior/posterior-inferior cerebellar artery territories (score 0-8). The outcomes were designated as the 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS90) score (poor, 3-6). Student's t-test, chi-square test and logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with a poor outcome. RESULTS The median initial NIHSS score was 2 [interquartile range (IQR), 0-3], median posterior circulation Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score was 8 (IQR, 7-10), median collateral score was 7 (IQR, 7-8) and 20 (20.4%) had poor mRS90 scores. In multivariate analysis, poorer collateral scores (P = 0.003), higher NIHSS scores (P = 0.005) and lower posterior circulation Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (P = 0.017) were independently associated with a poor mRS90 score. CONCLUSIONS The DSA-based collateral scoring of the BA large branches might predict long-term outcome in medically treated symptomatic basilar artery stenosis with mild initial severity. Evaluation of BA collateral perfusion status might be useful to determine appropriate treatment strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore population characteristics, organization of health services and comparability of available information for very low birth weight or very preterm neonates born before 32 weeks' gestation in 11 high-income countries contributing data to the International Network for Evaluating Outcomes of Neonates (iNeo). STUDY DESIGN We obtained population characteristics from public domain sources, conducted a survey of organization of maternal and neonatal health services and evaluated the comparability of data contributed to the iNeo collaboration from Australia, Canada, Finland, Israel, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and UK. RESULTS All countries have nationally funded maternal/neonatal health care with >90% of women receiving prenatal care. Preterm birth rate, maternal age, and neonatal and infant mortality rates were relatively similar across countries. Most (50 to >95%) between-hospital transports of neonates born at non-tertiary units were conducted by designated transport teams; 72% (8/11 countries) had designated transfer and 63% (7/11 countries) mandate the presence of a physician. The capacity of 'step-down' units varied between countries, with capacity for respiratory care available in <10% to >75% of units. Heterogeneity in data collection processes for benchmarking and quality improvement activities were identified. CONCLUSIONS Comparability of healthcare outcomes for very preterm low birth weight neonates between countries requires an evaluation of differences in population coverage, healthcare services and meta-data.

Abstract
PURPOSE BMS-986142 is an oral, small-molecule reversible inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase. The main objectives of our phase I studies were to characterize the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of BMS-986142 in healthy participants, and to investigate the potential for the effect of BMS-986142 on the PK of methotrexate (MTX) in combination. METHODS In a combined single ascending dose and multiple ascending dose study, the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of BMS-986142 were assessed in healthy non-Japanese participants following administration of a single dose (5-900 mg) or multiple doses (25-350 mg, once daily for 14 days). In a drug-drug interaction study, the effect of BMS-986142 (350 mg, once daily for 5 days) on the single-dose pharmacokinetics of MTX (7.5 mg) was assessed in healthy participants. RESULTS BMS-986142 was generally well tolerated, alone and in combination with MTX. BMS-986142 was rapidly absorbed with peak concentrations occurring within 2 h, and was eliminated with a mean half-life ranging from 7 to 11 h. Exposure of BMS-986142 appeared dose proportional within the dose ranges tested. A dose- and concentration-dependent inhibition of CD69 expression was observed following administration of BMS-986142. BMS-986142 did not affect the pharmacokinetics of MTX. CONCLUSIONS BMS-986142 was well tolerated at the doses tested, had pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles which support once-daily dosing, and can be coadministered with MTX without the pharmacokinetic interaction of BMS-986142 on MTX.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Although the indication for total mastectomy (TM) with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) has been expanded, IBR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is still controversy. We assumed that TM with IBR after NACT is feasible surgical treatment in breast cancer patients. Methods: A retrospective review of breast cancer patients who underwent TM with IBR after NACT between 2008 and 2015 at a single center was conducted. These cases were matched by 1:5 to patients who underwent mastectomy alone after NACT. Matching variables included age, clinical T and N staging before NACT, response to NACT, and pathologic staging after NACT. Pathological stage was followed by seventh American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) classification. Results: Overall, 31 patients were identified in the TM with IBR group (Study group) and 85 patients (Control group) were matched. In the study group, 13 (41.9%) patients underwent nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) and 18 (58.1%) underwent skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM). Median follow-up duration was 29.2 (7-31) and 38.8 (11-85) months for the study and control group, respectively. Median age was 37.0 (26-57) and 40.0 (24-56) years for the study and control group, respectively. The clinicopathologic characteristics of both groups are summarized in Table1. Disease-free survival (p=0.520), local recurrence-free survival (p=0.610), distant metastasis-free survival (p=0.795), and over survival (p=0.971) did not differ significantly between two groups. Conclusion: TM with IBR after NACT is feasible surgical treatment option in breast cancer patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction:Substantial efforts have been made to find factors associated with breast cancer (BC) recurrence and mortality after BC treatment. So far TNM stage, ER, PR, and HER2 status are considered as the major predictive markers of BC recurrence and used for treatment decision. However, most of these factors were evaluated independent from other important confounders such as age, stage, and various anti-cancer treatments because they were mostly derived from clinical trials. In Korea, up to 50% of BC patients are premenopausal women, it is not clear how age at diagnosis affect the progression and outcomes of the disease considering all known prognostic factors including TNM stage, ER, PR, and HER2 status. We aim to evaluate the impact of young age on recurrence and mortality after surgery among Korean women with BC.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study conducted using the data from BC registry from 2000 to 2016 at Samsung Medical Cancer, Seoul, Korea. Patients who received curative BC surgery and who had histologically-confirmed invasive BC between 2000 to 2011 were included in the study. Patients who second primary cancer or double primary cancer were excluded. Information local, regional, or distant recurrence and death until May 2016 was collected using electronic medical records and National Health Statistics. Cumulative incidence rates of distant recurrence and morality at 3-years, 5-years and 10-years were calculated using a competing-risk model. Cox proportional hazards analysis were conducted with 3 different models to take into account for potential confounding factors including age, body mass index (BMI), stage and subtype at breast cancer diagnosis, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy.
Results:There were 7360 BC patients with curative BC surgery between 2000 and 2011, and the average follow up duration was 75.4 months. The mean age at diagnosis was 48.4 years old (Standard deviation (SD)=±10), and 6.2% (n=459) was diagnosed younger than 35. Of total, 13.3% were stage III BC and 73.4% of patients had hormone receptor positive BC. The cumulative incidence (95%CI) of recurrence at 3, 5, and 10 years was 4.4% (3.9-4.9), 7.5% (6.8-8.2), and 14.8% (12.9-16.7) respectively. The incidence of mortality at 3, 5, and 10 years was 1.8% (1.5-2.1), 3.8% (3.3-4.3), and 10.2% (9.1-11.5) respectively. Patients who were diagnosed BC under 35 years of age had 2.14 (95% confidence interval (CI):1.74-3.10) and 1.62 (95% CI:1.02-2.56) times higher risk of distant recurrence and mortality compared to patients whose age at diagnosis were between 50 to 60 after adjusting all well-known prognostic factors including stage, subtype, and BMI at diagnosis, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy.
Conclusions: Young age at diagnosis (<35) was the most significant predictor on BC recurrence and mortality independently from BC stage and subtype. Further study is warranted to explain biologic background for the differences in outcomes in young women with BC.

Abstract
Abstract
Breast cancers (BC) in younger, premenopausal patients (YBC) tend to be more aggressive with worse prognosis, higher chance of relapse and poorer response to endocrine therapies compared to breast cancers in older patients. The proportion of YBC (age ≤ 40) among BC in East Asia is estimated to be 16-32%, significantly higher than the 7% reported in Western countries. To characterize the molecular bases of Asian YBC, we have performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) and whole-transcriptome sequencing (WTS) on tumor and matched normal samples from 134 Korean BC patients consisting of 74 YBC cases (age ≤ 40) and 60 OBC cases (age > 40). We then performed comparison analyses and integrative analyses with the TCGA BC cohort consisting of 1,116 tumors from primarily Caucasian patients, also grouped by age into YBC (age ≤ 40), IBC (40 < age ≤ 60) and OBC (age > 60).
Somatic mutation prevalence analysis identified 7 significantly mutated genes and the same top three genes – TP53, GATA3 and PIK3CA – were reported by the TCGA BC study. To identify differentially expressed (DE) genes and pathways in YBCs vs. OBCs, we performed logistic regression analyses while controlling for the confounding effects of tumor purity and stage. We were surprised to see a significant overlap in DE pathways between a comparison of adjacent normal tissues in younger vs. older TCGA cohorts and a comparison of YBC vs. OBC tumors, indicating that normal tissue compartment could contribute to observed differences between bulk tumors. To separately examine molecular signatures from tumor, stroma and normal compartments, we used non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) analyses to virtually dissect bulk tumor expression data and identified 14 factors including 3 factors associated with normal tissues, 1 factor associated with stroma and 1 factor associated with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL). Integrative analyses of tumor associated factors and DE pathways revealed that estrogen response, endocrine therapy resistance, and oxidative phosphorylation pathways are up-regulated in YBCs compared to OBCs while cell cycle and proliferation pathways are up-regulated in Asian OBCs. Interestingly, many immune and inflammation pathways correlated with the TIL factor were significantly upregulated in OBCs vs. YBCs. Using gene expression signatures representing distinct immune cell types, we classified our cohort into four subtypes of varying TIL activities and observed significant enrichment of the TIL-high subtype in OBCs compared to YBCs. These observations were confirmed by IHC analyses of four TIL markers (CD45, CD4, CD8 and CD163) in 120 tumors.
To our knowledge, this is the first large-scale multi-omics study of Asian breast cancer and would significantly contribute to the compendium of molecular data available for studying young breast cancers. The major landmarks in the molecular landscape looked similar across BCs of different ethnicities and ages, however, we have identified a number of distinguishing molecular characteristics associated with Asian YBC. The sources for some signatures were further traced to non-tumor intrinsic compartments, indicating that tumor microenvironment may play potentially important roles in driving the carcinogenesis of young breast cancers.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a new biomarker which could guide further treatment. Characterization of tumor mutation profiles is required for informed choice of therapy, given that biological agents target specific pathways and effectiveness may be modulated by specific mutations. It would have clinical utility for neoadjuvant setting also. Thus, we assess the potency of ctDNA to predict tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC) in locally advanced breast cancer(LABC).
Methods: We performed targeted deep sequencing of 30 plasma DNAs and 10 matched germline DNAs from 10 LABC patients. Serial plasma DNAs were collected at diagnosis, after 1st NAC and curative surgery. For the target enrichment, we designed RNA baits covering a total of ~202kb regions of human genome including a total of 83 cancer-related genes. We constructed the sequencing libraries according to the optimized protocol that we recently reported and sequenced on Illumina HiSeq2500 aiming a mean sequencing depth of ~10,000. After excluding unmapped reads, PCR duplicates and off-target reads, the coverage depths for plasma DNA and germline DNA samples were 2,627x and 4,833x on average, respectively. NAC response was measured by residual cancer burden(RCB) score, calculated as a continuous index combining pathologic measurements of primary tumor and nodal metastases for prediction of distant relapse-free survival.
Results: We analyzed ctDNA and primary tumor tissues from 10 patients with LABC scheduled NAC followed by operation in Samsung Medical Center. Of ten LABCs, one excluded from analysis because of angiosarcoma of breast. Five samples were triple-negative breast cancers (BCs), 2 were HER2 positive BCs and others were ER positive BCs. In tumor response, 1 patient had pathologic complete response (pCR), 1 had RCB class I, 4 and 3 patients did RCB class II and III.
Of 83 genes, in analysis of ctDNA at BC diagnosis, we found 2 to 6 mutations in each samples and 3 mutations were detected averagely. Most common mutation was TP53 (6 patients), followed by PIK3CA mutation. By measuring these mutations in serial ctDNA, we found that ctDNA had disappeared after first cycle of NAC in patient with pCR. In two patients with RCB class I, ctDNA had decreased by more than 10 percent (the level of ctDNA(pg/ml): 455.9 to 30.4, 5.8 to 0.0) of primary plasma sample after first NAC. Two patients increased level of ctDNA had tumor response with RCB class III and one patient had distant tumor recurrence within 3 months after curative surgery. However, correlation between the level of ctDNA and initial stage was not observed.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: Crosstalk between growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and the estrogen receptor (ER) represents one of the most important mechanisms of endocrine resistance. EGFR and HER2 have been recognized as prominent factors associated with endocrine resistance. Most previous studies did not identify subgroups by HER2 overexpression and/or included breast cancer with HER2 overexpression. Accordingly, we analyzed HR positive (HR+) tumors without HER2 overexpression (HER2-).
Methods: We analyzed the clinical data of 2,166 patients with HR+HER2- breast tumors, between January 2007 and July 2013.We included only patients who had endocrine therapy with tamoxifen. Immunostaining for EGFR was interpreted as positive when at least 10% of the tumor cells showed moderate to strong membrane staining.
Results: EGFR expression (EGFR+) was present in 109 patients (5%). EGFR expression was significantly associated with more advanced stage and higher grades. In the univariate analyses, EGFR+ tumors were associated with poorer prognosis than EGFR- tumors (5-year DFS, EGFR+ vs. EGFR-, 91.2% vs. 96.6%, P <0.001; 5-year OS, EFGR+ vs EGFR-, 93.1 % vs. 99.4%, P < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, EGFR+ tumors had a hazard ratio of 2.63 (95% CI 1.14 -6.05) for DFS. EGFR+ tumors had a hazard ratio of 8.8 (95% CI 2.68-132.25) for OS.
Conclusion: EGFR expression could be prognostic factor in hormone receptor-positive and HER2 negative breast cancer, for tamoxifen resistance.

Abstract
Due to engineering limitations, the spatial encoding gradient fields in conventional magnetic resonance imaging cannot be perfectly linear and always contain higher-order, nonlinear components. If ignored during image reconstruction, gradient nonlinearity (GNL) manifests as image geometric distortion. Given an estimate of the GNL field, this distortion can be corrected to a degree proportional to the accuracy of the field estimate. The GNL of a gradient system is typically characterized using a spherical harmonic polynomial model with model coefficients obtained from electromagnetic simulation. Conventional whole-body gradient systems are symmetric in design; typically, only odd-order terms up to the 5th-order are required for GNL modeling. Recently, a high-performance, asymmetric gradient system was developed, which exhibits more complex GNL that requires higher-order terms including both odd- and even-orders for accurate modeling. This work characterizes the GNL of this system using an iterative calibration method and a fiducial phantom used in ADNI (Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative). The phantom was scanned at different locations inside the 26 cm diameter-spherical-volume of this gradient, and the positions of fiducials in the phantom were estimated. An iterative calibration procedure was utilized to identify the model coefficients that minimize the mean-squared-error between the true fiducial positions and the positions estimated from images corrected using these coefficients. To examine the effect of higher-order and even-order terms, this calibration was performed using spherical harmonic polynomial of different orders up to the 10th-order including even- and odd-order terms, or odd-order only. The results showed that the model coefficients of this gradient can be successfully estimated. The residual root-mean-squared-error after correction using up to the 10th-order coefficients was reduced to 0.36 mm, yielding spatial accuracy comparable to conventional whole-body gradients. The even-order terms were necessary for accurate GNL modeling. In addition, the calibrated coefficients improved image geometric accuracy compared with the simulation-based coefficients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDPs) and mortality and major morbidities in preterm neonates born at 24 to 28 weeks of gestation. STUDY DESIGN Using an international cohort, we retrospectively studied 27 846 preterm neonates born at 240 to 286 weeks of gestation during 2007 to 2010 from 6 national neonatal databases. The incidence of HDP was compared across countries, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the association of HDP and neonatal outcomes including mortality to discharge, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, severe brain injury, necrotizing enterocolitis and treated retinopathy of prematurity. RESULTS The incidence of HDP in the entire cohort was 13% (range 11 to 16% across countries). HDP was associated with reduced odds of mortality (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.77; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.67 to 0.88), severe brain injury (aOR 0.74; 95% CI 0.62 to 0.89) and treated retinopathy (aOR 0.82; 95% CI 0.70 to 0.96), but increased odds of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (aOR 1.16; 95% CI 1.05 to 1.27). CONCLUSIONS In comparison with neonates born to mothers without HDP, neonates of HDP mothers had lower odds of mortality, severe brain injury and treated retinopathy, but higher odds of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The impact of maternal HDP on newborn outcomes was inconsistent across outcomes and among countries; therefore, further international collaboration to standardize terminology, case definition and data capture is warranted.

Surface modulation and back reflection from foil targets irradiated by a Petawatt femtosecond laser pulse at oblique incidence. OPTICS EXPRESS 2016; 24:28104-28112.

Abstract
A significant level of back reflected laser energy was measured during the interaction of ultra-short, high contrast PW laser pulses with solid targets at 30° incidence. 2D PIC simulations carried out for the experimental conditions show that at the laser-target interface a dynamic regular structure is generated during the interaction, which acts as a grating (quasi-grating) and reflects back a significant amount of incident laser energy. With increasing laser intensity above 1018 W/cm2 the back reflected fraction increases due to the growth of the surface modulation to larger amplitudes. Above 1020 W/cm2 this increase results in the partial destruction of the quasi-grating structure and, hence, in the saturation of the back reflection efficiency. The PIC simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental findings, and, additionally, demonstrate that in presence of a small amount of pre-plasma this regular structure will be smeared out and the back reflection reduced.

Pharmacokinetic, Pharmacodynamic, and Safety Profile of a Novel Anti-CD28 Domain Antibody Antagonist in Healthy Subjects. J Clin Pharmacol 2016; 57:161-172. [PMID: 27402064 PMCID: PMC5697635 DOI: 10.1002/jcph.791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2016] [Revised: 07/06/2016] [Accepted: 07/07/2016] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
We report pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of a novel anti‐CD28 domain antibody antagonist (lulizumab pegol) in healthy subjects following single‐ or multiple‐dose administration. A minimal anticipated biological effect level approach was used to select a 0.01 mg starting dose for a single‐ascending‐dose (SAD), double‐blind, first‐in‐human study. Part 1 included 9 intravenous (IV; 0.01‐100 mg) and 3 subcutaneous (SC; 9‐50 mg) doses or placebo. In part 2, a keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) immunization was performed in 16 subjects/panel, who received 1 of 3 IV doses (9‐100 mg) or placebo. In a double‐blind, multiple‐ascending‐dose (MAD) study, subjects received SC lulizumab 6.25 mg every 2 weeks, 12.5 mg weekly, 37.5 mg weekly, or placebo. Among 180 treated subjects, 169 completed the studies. Peak concentrations and areas under the curve from time 0 to infinity increased dose proportionally. Estimated SC bioavailability was 68.2%. Receptor occupancy of approximately ≥80% was maintained for ≥2 weeks at ≥9‐mg doses (SAD) and throughout the dosing interval (MAD). IV doses ≥9 mg inhibited antibody production against KLH for 2 weeks. No significant cytokine or immune cell changes were observed. No immunogenicity responses persisted, and there was no correlation to adverse events. Headache occurred in 21 SAD and 4 MAD subjects receiving lulizumab; in the MAD study 5 lulizumab subjects experienced infections. Lulizumab IV or SC was safe at all doses studied, without evidence of cytokine release.
