NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2018; 8:nano8070456.

Abstract
Directed-assembly of nanowires on the dielectrics-covered parallel electrode structure is capable of producing uniformly-spaced nanowire array at the electrode gap due to dielectrophoretic nanowire attraction and electrostatic nanowire repulsion. Beyond uniformly-spaced nanowire array formation, the control of spacing in the array is beneficial in that it should be the experimental basis of the precise positioning of functional nanowires on a circuit. Here, we investigate the material parameters and bias conditions to modulate the nanowire spacing in the ordered array, where the nanowire array formation is readily attained due to the electrostatic nanowire interaction. A theoretical model for the force calculation and the simulation of the induced charge in the assembled nanowire verifies that the longer nanowires on thicker dielectric layer tend to be assembled with a larger pitch due to the stronger nanowire-nanowire electrostatic repulsion, which is consistent with the experimental results. It was claimed that the stronger dielectrophoretic force is likely to attract more nanowires that are suspended in solution at the electrode gap, causing them to be less-spaced. Thus, we propose a generic mechanism, competition of dielectrophoretic and electrostatic force, to determine the nanowire pitch in an ordered array. Furthermore, this spacing-controlled nanowire array offers a way to fabricate the high-density nanodevice array without nanowire registration.

Abstract
The intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) is a useful technique for mandibular setback surgery. However, there is a tendency for lateral flaring of the proximal segments on the non-deviation side after the correction of mandibular asymmetry with this technique. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the positional changes of the proximal segments after IVRO setback in skeletal class III patients with asymmetry, using preoperative and postoperative computed tomography scan data, and to apply the results in clinical practice. A total of 28 skeletal class III patients with asymmetry who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery were included. A three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography scan was obtained preoperative, at 1month postoperative, and at 1year postoperative. At 1month after the surgery, the proximal segments showed an outward rotation, lateral flaring, and anterior rotation of the condylar head. All postsurgical directional changes had returned to the preoperative state at 1year postoperative, and there was no statistically significant difference in postoperative angulation changes between the two sides. The results showed no statistical differences in the positional changes of the proximal segments between the deviation and non-deviation sides. This study reaffirms the benefits of the IVRO for a minimal bony interference between the proximal and distal segments in three dimensions, including mandibular asymmetry cases.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Hypothermia is the current standard therapy for asphyxiated neonates with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE). Gentamicin is used for the empirical treatment of early-onset neonatal sepsis. We investigated the influence of hypothermia treatment on gentamicin pharmacokinetics and suggested the appropriate dosing recommendations for gentamicin in neonates with HIE receiving hypothermia treatment. METHODS We searched studies published until February 2017 in MEDLINE using PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library. Three independent reviewers screened the literature and extracted data from each study. All of the studies that reported the blood concentrations or pharmacokinetic parameters of gentamicin in hypothermic neonates with HIE were included in this review. Articles were excluded if they were not original research. RESULT AND DISCUSSION A total of 8 observational studies met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analyses were performed in which the mean difference of gentamicin for the trough concentration and clearance between hypothermic and normothermic neonates were 0.81 mg/L (95% confidence interval [-0.07, 1.69]) and -0.21 mL/kg/min (95% confidence interval [-0.31, -0.12]), respectively. The factors affecting gentamicin clearance in hypothermic neonates with HIE were gestational age, birthweight and serum creatinine. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION Gentamicin clearance is decreased in neonates with HIE receiving hypothermia treatment compared to those not receiving hypothermia treatment. Modified gentamicin dosing regimens are required to avoid potential toxicity related to higher concentrations during hypothermia treatment.

Abstract
A 29-d trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM) supplementation on growth performance, meat quality, nutrient digestibility, excreta microbiota, excreta gas emission, and blood profiles in broilers. A total of 816 1-day-old male Ross 308 broilers (44 ± 0.44 g) were assigned to 4 dietary treatments, composed of 12 replicates with 17 birds per replicate. The 4 treatments were: 1) CON, basal diet; 2) S1, CON + 0.05% MSM; 3) S2, CON + 0.10% MSM; 4) S3, CON + 0.20% MSM. In the current study, body weight (BW) on d 14 and 29 showed significant improvement as dietary MSM increased from 0.05% to 0.20% (P < 0.05). During d 1 to 14 and overall, higher (P < 0.05) body weight gain (BWG) and lower feed conversion ratio (FCR) were observed in broilers fed MSM diets. Between d 15 and 29, higher (P < 0.05) BWG was observed in broilers fed MSM diets. Redness (a*) was increased linearly (P < 0.05) in broilers fed MSM diets. On d 3, 5, and 7, drip loss was decreased linearly (P < 0.05) in broilers fed MSM diets. Lactobacillus and E. coli were effected linearly (P < 0.05) in broilers fed MSM diets. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), white blood cells (WBC) and lymphocytes were improved linearly (P < 0.05) in broilers fed MSM diets. In conclusion, dietary supplementation MSM has positive effects on growth performance, meat quality, excreta microbiota, and blood profiles in broilers.

Treatment with PGG (10[Formula: see text]mg/kg/day and 50[Formula: see text]mg/kg/day for four days) significantly ameliorated urine volume, urine osmolality, creatinine clearance (Ccr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). In addition, PGG increased aquaporine 1/2/3, Na[Formula: see text]-K[Formula: see text]-ATPase and urea transporter (UT-B) and decreased ICAM-1, MCP-1, and HMGB-1 expression. In this histopathologic study, PGG improved glomerular and tubular damage. Immunohistochemistry results showed that PGG increased aquaporine 1/2, and Na[Formula: see text]-K[Formula: see text] ATPase and decreased ICAM-1 expression. These findings suggest that PGG ameliorates tubular injury including tubular dysfunction and microvascular inflammation in IRI-induced AKI rats.

Abstract
Single-cell nanoencapsulation, forming cell-in-shell structures, provides chemical tools for endowing living cells, in a programmed fashion, with exogenous properties that are neither innate nor naturally achievable, such as cascade organic-catalysis, UV filtration, immunogenic shielding, and enhanced tolerance in vitro against lethal factors in real-life settings. Recent advances in the field make it possible to further fine-tune the physicochemical properties of the artificial shells encasing individual living cells, including on-demand degradability and reconfigurability. Many different materials, other than polyelectrolytes, have been utilized as a cell-coating material with proper choice of synthetic strategies to broaden the potential applications of cell-in-shell structures to whole-cell catalysis and sensors, cell therapy, tissue engineering, probiotics packaging, and others. In addition to the conventional "one-time-only" chemical formation of cytoprotective, durable shells, an approach of autonomous, dynamic shellation has also recently been attempted to mimic the naturally occurring sporulation process and to make the artificial shell actively responsive and dynamic. Here, the recent development of synthetic strategies for formation of cell-in-shell structures along with the advanced shell properties acquired is reviewed. Demonstrated applications, such as whole-cell biocatalysis and cell therapy, are discussed, followed by perspectives on the field of single-cell nanoencapsulation.

Abstract
Vitiligo has a substantial negative impact on quality of life in affected patients, especially those with the involvement of the face. However, the current system can barely distinguish between specific patterns of facial involvement except for the segmental type when focusing only on facial lesions. We classified facial vitiligo into three distinct subtypes using cluster analysis based on facial topography (n = 473): centrofacial vitiligo (72.9%), panfacial vitiligo (18.0%), and hairline vitiligo (9.1%). Centrofacial vitiligo was the most common type and is thought to comprise the typical facial involvement of generalized vitiligo. Panfacial vitiligo was a distinct subtype with onset in old age and less involvement of other body parts. Hairline vitiligo was another distinct subtype with onset in old age and a poor response to conventional phototherapy. A relevant classification system could help us to explore the causes, anticipate the prognosis, and manage the condition in patients with vitiligo.

Abstract
Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) represent aggressive heterogeneous subtype of breast cancer with poor clinical outcome. TNBCs have been reported to have high levels of replication stress due to i) various oncogene activations (C-myc or EGFR) ii) germline BRCA mutations iii) “BRCAness” in the absence of BRCA mutations in sporadic TNBCs. Replication stress is known to cause genomic instability, promote tumorigenesis and plays a critical role in therapy resistance in TNBCs. Therefore, targeting replication stress has emerged as an effective approach for better TNBC treatment through further downregulation of the remaining checkpoints to induce catastrophic failure of TNBC cells proliferation. Herein, we evaluated the anticancer efficacy of Carbazole Blue (CB), a synthetic analogue of Carbazole, on TNBC cells growth and progression. Our results demonstrated that CB inhibits short and long term viability of TNBC (MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468 and BT549) cells in a dose dependent manner without affecting normal mammary epithelial (MCF-10A) cells. In addition, CB treatment significantly reduced proliferation of TNBC cells, as evidenced by the BrdU proliferation assay. Consistent with this, our results further demonstrated that CB treatment induced G1/S cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in TNBCs. Importantly, systemic delivery of CB using nanoparticle-based delivery approach suppressed breast cancer growth without inducing toxicity, in preclinical orthotopic xenograft and PDX mouse models of TNBC. Furthermore, our gene microarray analysis revealed that CB treatment modulates the expression and activity of several genes known to be involved in DNA replication (CDC6, CDT1, MCMs, Claspin, POLE and PCNA) and associated DNA repair machinery such as (XRCC3, Exo1 and RAD51), which play pivotal roles in replication stress. Our results for the first time highlight the potential use of CB as a novel and potent therapeutic agent for treating TNBCs. As exploiting replication stress to treat cancer is gaining major interest, compound/s that may induce replication stress and inhibit DNA repair ability of cancer cells, has immense translational potential.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The identification of individuals at elevated risk for hereditary cancers has allowed the development of consensus recommendations for cancer screening and prevention. The introduction of multigene panels may identify more individuals with breast cancer gene mutations than does testing for BRCA1/2 alone. Therefore, the multigenerational panel increase the need for genetic counseling suggesting preventive approach or cancer-specific screening to patients and family members. The rapid clinical introduction of multigene panel testing, however, have several issues such as low- to moderate-risk gene mutations and clinical recommendations. We collect the mutation results and clinical recommendations after testing with multigene panel and giving genetic counseling.
Methods
We had developed multigene panel consisted of 64 genes related to hereditary cancer through previous study and prospectively enrolled 104 individuals who were appropriate candidates for hereditary breast cancer evaluation. The patients were tested with 64-gene panel(Celemics) and results were provided by us 4˜10 weeks later. We checked the family history of cancer and made a pedigree before testing.
Result
Among 104 participants, 26 patients harbored deleterious mutations, most commonly in high to moderate-risk breast/ovarian cancer genes (BRCA1/2, BRIP, RAD51 and RAD51D), Lynch syndrome gene(MSH6) and other genes(FH, SPINK1). We recommended the cancer-specific screening and/or preventive approach for mutation-positive patients and suggested additional genetic test for the family members. Among them, 6 (23%) patients received Risk reducing procedures (Prophylactic mastectomy or oophorectomy) and most of them(19 patients(73%)) received cancer specific screening.
Conclusion
We demonstrate the use of multigene panel testing for hereditary breast cancer and will suggest the process of the genetic counseling including indication and results analysis with multigene panel testing.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: According to the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group Z0011 trial, complete axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) did not affect survival of patients with clinical T1-T2 invasive breast cancer and one to two sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) metastases treated with lumpectomy, adjuvant systemic therapy, and radiation therapy. A significant proportion of breast cancer patients may not require ALND, in whom intraoperative analysis of SLNs can be omitted reducing operation time and cost. The aim of this study was to develop a nomogram predicting three or more axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) metastases based on preoperative imaging and clinicopathological factors.
Methods: The training set consisted of 1030 patients with clinical T1-T2 invasive breast cancer and clinically negative ALN who received surgery at Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) between January 2010 and December 2013. Preoperative imaging techniques including ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and clinicopathological features associated with three or more ALN metastases were evaluated by logistic regression analysis. A nomogram predicting three or more ALNs was developed with statistically significant factors. The validation set consisted of 781 independent patients who received surgery at SNUH between January 2014 and December 2015.
Results: Of the 1030 patients, 89 (8.6%) had three or more ALN metastases. Multivariate analysis showed that three or more ALN metastases was independently associated with tumor size (cm) by US (p<0.001), suspicious ALNs findings in US (p<0.001), chest CT (p<0.001), and PET/CT (≥ 1.4 SUV, p<0.001). Established nomogram evaluating the probability of three or more ALNs metastases includes the above four associated factors. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the nomogram were 0.866 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.826-0.905) for the training set and 0.867 (95% CI: 0.801-0.932) for the validation set. With cutoff point of 142, false negative ratio is 3.6%, and 8.6% of patients were candidates for intraoperative SLN analysis.
Conclusion: Patients with a strong possibility of three or more ALNs metastases can be identified using preoperative imaging methods including US, CT, and PET. The nomogram measuring this prospect may be valuable in skipping intraoperative analysis of SLNs with advantage of reduced operation time and cost.

Abstract
This work examines the development of primary neurons and astrocytes on thoroughly controlled functional groups. Negatively charged surfaces presenting carboxylate (COO-) or sulfonate (SO3-) groups prove beneficial to neuronal behavior, in spite of their supposed repulsive electrostatic interactions with cellular membranes. The adhesion and survival of primary hippocampal neurons on negatively charged surfaces are comparable to or slightly better than those on positively charged (poly-d-lysine-coated) surfaces, and neuritogenesis and neurite outgrowth are accelerated on COO- and SO3- surfaces. Moreover, such favorable influences of the negatively charged surfaces are only seen in neurons but not for astrocytes. Our results indicate that the in vitro developmental behavior of primary hippocampal neurons is sophisticatedly modulated by angstrom-sized differences in chemical structure or the charge density of the surface. We believe that this work provides new implications for understanding neuron-material interfaces as well as for establishing new ways to fabricate neuro-active surfaces.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The ability to predict future clinical deterioration early in patients who present to an emergency care center with a hepatobiliary tract infection is difficult. We studied the clinical usefulness of the initial serum levels of procalcitonin in a hepatobiliary tract infection as an indicator for predicting aggravation in the early stages. METHODS Of the patients who presented with the clinical symptoms of a hepatobiliary tract infection, 99 were diagnosed with a hepatobiliary tract infection by imaging studies and subsequently enrolled in the study. Laboratory tests were obtained in the early stage of disease after presentation to an emergency care center. We assessed and compared the serum levels of many early inflammatory markers (white blood cell [WBC] counts, C-reactive protein and procalcitonin) between patients whose symptoms were initially stable upon arrival to an emergency care center but then deteriorated to, those whose symptoms remained consistently stable. Thus, we examined if the above serum markers are useful in predicting the possibility of future symptom aggravation. RESULTS Of a total of 99 patients, 27 were assigned to the symptom aggravation group. The serum levels of WBC counts and C-reactive protein in the aggravation group were elevated. However, the median value (interquartile range) of procalcitonin was relatively increased at 2.28 (0.41-7.84 ng/ml), demonstrating a significant difference. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, initial serum levels of procalcitonin might be used as an indicator for aggravation in patients with hepatobiliary tract infection at the emergency department, even though there is hemodynamic stability.

BACKGROUND Tears of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) can result in instability of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) and ulnar-sided wrist pain. This study evaluates clinical results of arthroscopic transosseous repair for both proximal and distal components of TFCC tear with DRUJ instability. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients who underwent both proximal component and distal component of TFCC repair were retrospectively reviewed. The proximal component of TFCC was repaired through arthroscopic one-tunnel transosseous suture technique, and the combined distal component tear was repaired to the ulnar capsule using same transosseous tunnel in all cases. Visual analog scale (VAS) score for pain, wrist range of motion, grip strength, and postoperative complications were evaluated after a mean followup period of 23.5 months, and each patient was rated according to modified Mayo wrist score and quick disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) questionnaire. RESULTS On arthroscopic findings, the hook test confirmed the proximal component of the TFCC tear and visible capsular detachment from TFCC confirmed combined distal component tear in all patients. At final followup, 7 patients had normal stability of DRUJ and 3 patients showed mild laxity compared with the contralateral side. The mean VAS for pain perception decreased from 4.1 to 0.7, and grip strength was increased significantly. The modified Mayo wrist score and Quick DASH score showed significant functional improvement. No surgery-related complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS Arthroscopic one-tunnel transosseous TFCC foveal repair and simulatneous transosseous capsular repair of distal component can be a safe and effective strategy for repair of complete TFCC tear combined with DRUJ instability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To estimate the optimal bending angles in the running loop for mesial translation of a mandibular second molar using indirect skeletal anchorage and to clarify the mechanics of tipping and rotating the molar. METHODS A three-dimensional finite element model was developed for predicting tooth movement, and a mechanical model based on the beam theory was constructed for clarifying the force systems. RESULTS When using a running loop without bends, the molar tipped mesially 14.4° and lingually 0.6°, rotated counterclockwise 4.1°, and the incisors retracted 0.02 mm and intruded 0.05 mm. These angles were about the same as those estimated by the beam theory. When the amount of tip back and toe-in angles was 11.0°, mesial translation of the molar was achieved, and incisors retracted 0.10 mm and intruded 0.30 mm. CONCLUSIONS Mesial translation of a mandibular second molar without any significant movement of anterior teeth was achieved during protraction by controlling the tip back and toe-in angles and enhancing anterior anchorage with the combined use of a running loop and indirect skeletal anchorage.

Abstract
Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (cmml) is an indolent disease in the category of myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative neoplasms, which can often evolve into acute leukemic neoplasms. Although cytogenetic abnormalities such as trisomy 8 or absence of chromosome Y are well known, few reports about cmml with trisomy 11 have been published. Here, we report a case of cmml with trisomy 11 as the sole chromosomal abnormality, resulting in a very poor outcome. Based on a bone marrow specimen, cmml-1 with trisomy 11 was diagnosed in a 79-year-old man presenting with anemia and atypical peripheral blood cells. Because of the patient's age, he was followed without receiving anticancer treatment. Two months after his diagnosis, the patient's leucocytosis and anemia rapidly worsened, with increasing numbers of immature peripheral cells, which was strongly suggestive of leukemic transformation. Because of acute kidney injury superimposed on chronic kidney disease that led to poor performance status, cytotoxic chemotherapy was not considered feasible, and the patient was transferred to a hospice care facility.

Abstract
Introduction The height and body weight of 6th grade elementary school children may have influence on chest compression. Materials & methods In accordance with the 2005 American Heart Association guidelines and 2006 Korean Association of CardioPulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) guidelines, a 25-minute audiovisual presentation and practical demonstration of CPR were presented by the researchers and assistants. The assistants supervised and corrected the practical performance of the students who performed 5 cycles of CPR (2 minutes each) with the aid of the Laerdal Resusci® Anne SkillReporter™. The students then carried out another 5 cycles of CPR (2 minutes each) using the skill reporter; and a short report was printed. Results The correlation coefficient between body weight and chest compression was 0.467 (p=0.000), and the correlation coefficient between height and chest compression was 0.309 (p=0.009). The intercept between body weight and chest compression was 21.763 (p=0.000), and the slope was 0.324 (p=0.000). Student height showed no linear correlation with chest compression depth. Conclusions The body weight of 6th grade elementary school children showed moderate correlation with chest compression depth. A minimal body weight of 50 kg is required to attain a standard chest compression depth of 38 mm. With improved training, some students with body weight less than 50 kg may also achieve satisfactory performance of CPR.

Abstract
AIMS Positive ulnar variance is an established risk factor for idiopathic ulnar impaction syndrome (UIS). However, not all patients with positive ulnar variance develop symptomatic UIS and other factors, including the morphology of the lunate, may be involved. The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between lunate morphology and idiopathic UIS. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cohort of 95 patients with idiopathic UIS (UIS group) was compared with 95 asymptomatic controls with positive ulnar variance. The shape of the lunate was measured using the capitate-triquetrum distance (CTD), ulnar coverage ratio (UCR), radiolunate distance and radiolunate angle. The association of radiographic parameters and lunate types with the development of UIS was investigated in univariable and multivariable analyses. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to estimate a cutoff for any statistically significant variables. RESULTS The proportion of type II lunates, which have a medial hamate facet, were significantly higher in the UIS group than in the control group in the univariable analysis (p = 0.001). CTD (odds ratio (OR) 1.52; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.11 to 2.06; p = 0.008) and UCR (OR 44.78; 95% CI 5.35 to 374.90; p = 0.002) showed a positive association with UIS in the multivariable analysis. Estimated cutoff values were 2.5 mm for the CTD (area under the curve (AUC) = 0.65) and 0.4 for the UCR (AUC = 0.64). CONCLUSION The proportion of type II lunates was greater in the UIS group than in the control group. A large UCR, which represents the broad base of the lunate, was positively associated with the development of idiopathic UIS. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2017;99-B:1508-14.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have many beneficial effects for type 2 diabetes, including decreased cardiovascular death, recent reports that they increased glucagon through SGLT2 inhibition raised some concern. Troglitazone, Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) agonist, was reported to increase SGLT2 in renal proximal tubule cells, but its role on pancreatic alpha cells have not been reported. We investigated the effect of troglitazone on SGLT2 expression in alpha cells and subsequent glucagon regulation in hyperglycemia. METHODS An Alpha TC1-6 cell line was cultured in control (5 mM) or hyperglycemia (HG, 15 mM) for 72 h. We applied troglitazone with or without PPARγ antagonist (GW9662 10 μM). To investigate the involvement of PI3K/Akt pathway, we applied troglitazone with or without Wortmanin. We measured sodium glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) and glucagon (GCG) mRNA and protein expression. PPAR gamma, PI3K and Akt protein were also measured. RESULTS Exposure of alpha TC cells to HG for 72 h increased glucagon mRNA and protein expression. HG decreased SGLT2 mRNA and protein expression. Troglitazone significantly reversed HG-induced reduction of SGLT2 expression and increase of glucagon secretion. PPARγ antagonist (GW9662 10 μM) decreased the expression of SGLT2 and increased glucagon as HG did. Hyperglycemia increased PI3K and pAkt expression in alpha cells. Wortmanin (PI3K inhibitor, 1 μM) reversed HG-induced SGLT2 decrease and glucagon increase. Troglitazone treatment decreased PI3K and pAkt expression in HG. CONCLUSION In conclusion, PPARγ agonist, troglitazone improved glucose transport SGLT2 dysfunction and subsequent glucagon dysregulation in alpha cell under hyperglycemia. Those effects were through the involvement of PI3K/pAkt signaling pathway. This study may add one more reason for the ideal combination of PPARγ agonist and SGLT2 inhibitor in clinical practice.
