Abstract
Recent improvements in neuroimaging and molecular markers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have aided diagnosis in the early stage of the disease, which greatly increases the chance for successful prevention and treatment. However, the expanding resources for AD diagnosis are unlikely to benefit all elderly due to economic burden. Here, we aimed to develop an inexpensive and sensitive method to detect early-stage AD. A scenario for real-world social event memory test (SEMT) was created and filmed in 360° video. Participants watched the 7-min video through head-mounted display (HMD) and then answered questionnaire about the video. We categorized the SEMT score into recall, recognition, and place-matching scores and compared them to scores on the Mini-Mental State Examination and Seoul Verbal Learning Test. Using the SEMT scores, we built a logistic regression model that discriminated between amyloid positivity and negativity of the participants, with a cross-validation AUC. Furthermore, a classifier was created using support vector machine, which produced 93.8–95.1% sensitivity in classifying individuals into four groups of normal, mild cognitive impairment with or without amyloid, and AD elderly. The high correlation between the SEMT score and amyloid positivity in individuals who experienced virtual social gathering through an HMD opens a new possibility for early diagnosis of AD.

Abstract
PURPOSE We estimated whether amyloid involvement in subcortical regions may predict cognitive impairment, and established an amyloid staging scheme based on degree of subcortical amyloid involvement. METHODS Data from 240 cognitively normal older individuals, 393 participants with mild cognitive impairment, and 126 participants with Alzheimer disease were acquired at Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative sites. To assess subcortical involvement, we analyzed amyloid deposition in amygdala, putamen, and caudate nucleus. We staged participants into a 3-stage model based on cortical and subcortical amyloid involvement: 382 with no cortical or subcortical involvement as stage 0, 165 with cortical but no subcortical involvement as stage 1, and 203 with both cortical and subcortical involvement as stage 2. RESULTS Amyloid accumulation was first observed in cortical regions and spread down to the putamen, caudate nucleus, and amygdala. In longitudinal analysis, changes in MMSE, ADAS-cog 13, FDG PET SUVR, and hippocampal volumes were steepest in stage 2 followed by stage 1 then stage 0 (p value <0.001). Stage 2 showed steeper changes in MMSE score (β [SE] = -0.02 [0.004], p < 0.001), ADAS-cog 13 (0.05 [0.01], p < 0.001), FDG PET SUVR (-0.0008 [0.0003], p = 0.004), and hippocampal volumes (-4.46 [0.65], p < 0.001) compared to stage 1. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated a downward spreading pattern of amyloid, suggesting that amyloid accumulates first in neocortex followed by subcortical structures. Furthermore, our new finding suggested that an amyloid staging scheme based on subcortical involvement might reveal how differential regional accumulation of amyloid affects cognitive decline through functional and structural changes of the brain.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Wee1 is a critical component of the G2/M cell cycle checkpoint control and mediates cell cycle arrest by regulating the phosphorylation of CDC2. Inhibition of Wee1 has been reported to enhance the cytotoxic effect of DNA damaging agents in different types of carcinomas. Especially, recent reports have shown that DNA replication stress and double strand breaks are induced by the activation of CDK1 following WEE1 inhibitor treatment. We investigated the effects and underlying mechanisms of WEE1 inhibitor, AZD1775, in Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). In addition, we examined whether AZD1775 would enhance the anti-tumor effect of PARP inhibitor in TNBC cells by modulating DNA repair activity. Methods: MTT assay was performed to investigate the antitumor effect of WEE1 inhibitor, AZD1775 alone or with PARP inhibitor in breast cancer cell lines. The regulation of DNA damage response activity by AZD1775 or/and PARP inhibitor was accessed by the comet and western blotting. The status of the S phase was evaluated by EdU-BrdU dual pulse labeling, and the drug effect was also confirmed in vivo by mouse xenograft model of TNBC. Results: AZD1775 showed heterogeneous antitumor effects among TNBC cells regardless of TP53 mutation statues. WEE1 inhibition led to accelerated S phase progression and mitotic entry in the sensitive MDA-MB-231 cells. In addition, increased DNA damage and caspase-3 dependent apoptosis were observed in sensitive cells following AZD1775 treatment. Furthermore, AZD1775 enhanced cellular sensitivity to PARP inhibitor through increase apoptosis and DNA damage accumulation. In a MDA-MB-231 xenograft model, AZD1775 impedes tumor growth as well. Conclusions: In the TNBC, the WEE1 inhibitor has a heterogeneous cytotoxic effect regardless of the p53 mutation status. In MDA-MB-231 cell, which is a sensitive TNBC cells to WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775, the progression of the cell cycle was accelerated and the aberrant DNA content was increased. This resulted in DNA damage, which led to cell death, and this effect could be applied in vivo. In addition, we investigated that WEE1 inhibition can increase PARP inhibitor sensitivity in TNBC cells via increasing accumulation of DNA damage. Our results provide a rationale for the future clinical trials of PARP inhibitor combined with WEE1 inhibition in triple negative breast cancer.

Abstract
Purpose Pim kinases are highly conserved serine/threonine kinases, and different expression patterns of each isoform (Pim-1, Pim-2, and Pim-3) have been observed in various types of human cancers, including gastric cancer. AZD1208 is a potent and selective inhibitor that affects all three isoforms of Pim. We investigated the effects of AZD1208 as a single agent and in combination with an Akt inhibitor in gastric cancer cells. Materials and Methods The antitumor activity of AZD1208 with/without an Akt inhibitor was evaluated in a large panel of gastric cancer cell lines through growth inhibition assays. The underlying mechanism was also examined by western blotting, immunofluorescence assay, and cell cycle analysis. Results AZD1208 treatment decreased gastric cancer cell proliferation rates and induced autophagy only in long-term culture systems. Light chain 3B (LC3B), a marker of autophagy, was increased in sensitive cells in a dose-dependent manner with AZD1208 treatment, which suggested that the growth inhibition effect of AZD1208 was achieved through autophagy, not apoptosis. Moreover, we found that cells damaged by Pim inhibition were repaired by activation of the DNA damage repair pathway, which promoted cell survival and led the cells to become resistant to AZD1208. We also confirmed that the combination of an Akt inhibitor with AZD1208 produced a highly synergistic effect in gastric cancer cell lines. Conclusion Treatment with AZD1208 alone induced considerable cell death through autophagy in gastric cancer cells. Moreover, the combination of AZD1208 with an Akt inhibitor showed synergistic antitumor effects through regulation of the DNA damage repair pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to identify independent correlates of toenail selenium levels and to examine the association between toenail selenium levels and metabolic syndrome in Korean adults. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis was conducted using baseline data from the Trace Element Study of Korean Adults in the Yeungnam area, an ongoing cohort study of Korean adults over the age of 35 years. The baseline survey consisted of questionnaires on demographics, lifestyle characteristics and medical information. Dietary information was obtained through a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Toenail selenium levels were quantified using neutron activation analysis. Biomarkers associated with metabolic syndrome were obtained from biennial medical check-ups. RESULTS In the multivariable-adjusted analyses, independent lifestyle and dietary correlates of higher selenium levels were alcohol drinking (4.62% higher than nondrinking) and egg intake (0.43% higher per weekly serving), whereas current smoking (5.42% lower than nonsmoking) and vegetable consumption (0.05% lower per weekly serving) were associated with lower toenail selenium levels. In the multivariable adjusted logistic regression, no significant association was observed between toenail selenium levels and metabolic syndrome (odds ratio = 1.33, 95% confidence interval = 0.58-3.05). CONCLUSIONS Multiple lifestyle and dietary factors influenced toenail selenium levels, although no meaningful association was observed between toenail selenium levels and metabolic syndrome in Korean adults. Future prospective large-scale cohort studies are required to determine whether there is a causal relationship between selenium levels and metabolic syndrome in Korean adults.

Abstract
The interactions that lead to the emergence of superconductivity in iron-based materials remain a subject of debate. It has been suggested that electron-electron correlations enhance electron-phonon coupling in iron selenide (FeSe) and related pnictides, but direct experimental verification has been lacking. Here we show that the electron-phonon coupling strength in FeSe can be quantified by combining two time-domain experiments into a "coherent lock-in" measurement in the terahertz regime. X-ray diffraction tracks the light-induced femtosecond coherent lattice motion at a single phonon frequency, and photoemission monitors the subsequent coherent changes in the electronic band structure. Comparison with theory reveals a strong enhancement of the coupling strength in FeSe owing to correlation effects. Given that the electron-phonon coupling affects superconductivity exponentially, this enhancement highlights the importance of the cooperative interplay between electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions.

Abstract
PURPOSE Tau accumulation is a core pathologic change in various neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal lobar degeneration-tau. Recently, tau positron emission tomography tracers such as [18F] AV-1451 and [18F] THK5351 have been developed to detect tau deposition in vivo. In the present study, we performed a head to head comparison of these two tracers in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia cases and aimed to investigate which tracers are better suited to image tau in these disorders. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted using a hospital-based sample at a tertiary referral center. We recruited eight participants (two Alzheimer's disease, four frontotemporal dementia and two normal controls) who underwent magnetic resonance image, amyloid positron emission tomography with [18F]-Florbetaben and tau positron emission tomography with both THK5351 and AV-1451. To measure regional AV1451 and THK5351 uptakes, we used the standardized uptake value ratios by dividing mean activity in target volume of interest by mean activity in the cerebellar hemispheric gray matter. RESULTS Although THK5351 and AV-1451 uptakes were highly correlated, cortical uptake of AV-1451 was more striking in Alzheimer's disease, while cortical uptake of THK5351 was more prominent in frontotemporal dementia. THK5351 showed higher off-target binding than AV-1451 in the white matter, midbrain, thalamus, and basal ganglia. CONCLUSIONS AV-1451 is more sensitive and specific to Alzheimer's disease type tau and shows lower off-target binding, while THK5351 may mirror non-specific neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Amyloid positron emission tomography ([18F] florbetaben (FBB) PET) can be used to determine concomitant Alzheimer's disease (AD) in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) patients. FBB PET scans and the tap test were performed in 31 patients with clinically suspected iNPH, and amyloid positive (iNPH/FBB+) and negative (iNPH/FBB-) groups were compared with respect to clinical characteristics. We evaluated prognostic value of FBB PET scans by analyzing the response to the tap test using a linear mixed model. We also performed a multivariable regression analysis to investigate whether amyloid PET positivity can predict the positive tap test response independent of other AD biomarkers. The results showed that the iNPH/FBB+ group (7/31, 22.6%) had a higher percentage of APOE4 carriers, lower Aβ42, higher CSF t-tau, and p-tau/Aβ42 ratio than the iNPH/FBB- group (24/31, 77.4%), while the two groups did not differ in imaging characteristics. The iNPH/FBB- group had a higher percentage of tap responders and showed a greater improvement in gait scores after the tap test than the iNPH/FBB+ group (group-tap test effect interaction, p = 0.035). A multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that amyloid positivity on PET scans (OR 0.03, p = 0.029) and CSF p-tau (OR 0.87, p = 0.044) were independently associated with the positive tap test response. Among 21 tap responders in the iNPH/FBB- group, 14 patients received shunt surgery and 12/14 (85.7%) patients showed symptom improvement. Our findings suggest that amyloid PET scans can help determine which iNPH patients will benefit from shunt surgery by discriminating concomitant AD.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease dementia (ADD) and subcortical vascular dementia (SVaD) both show cortical thinning and white matter (WM) microstructural changes. We evaluated different patterns of correlation between gray matter (GM) and WM microstructural changes in pure ADD, pure SVaD, and mixed dementia. We enrolled 40 Pittsburgh compound B (PiB) positive ADD patients without WM hyperintensities (pure ADD), 32 PiB negative SVaD patients (pure SVaD), 23 PiB positive SVaD patients (mixed dementia), and 56 normal controls. WM microstructural integrity was quantified using fractional anisotropy (FA), axial diffusivity (DA), and radial diffusivity (DR) values. We used sparse canonical correlation analysis to show correlated regions of cortical thinning and WM microstructural changes. In pure ADD patients, lower FA in the frontoparietal area correlated with cortical thinning in the left inferior parietal lobule and bilateral paracentral lobules. In pure SVaD patients, lower FA and higher DR across extensive WM regions correlated with cortical thinning in bilateral fronto-temporo-parietal regions. In mixed dementia patients, DR and DA changes across extensive WM regions correlated with cortical thinning in the bilateral fronto-temporo-parietal regions. Our findings showed that the relationships between GM and WM degeneration are distinct in pure ADD, pure SVaD, and mixed dementia, suggesting that different pathomechanisms underlie their correlations.
