Abstract
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of head mounted real-time ultrasound displays (hereafter referred to as 'smart glasses') in improving hand-eye coordination in less experienced individuals, such as trainees in anaesthesia, is unclear. OBJECTIVES To compare the first-attempt success rate of smart glasses-assisted ultrasound-guided paediatric radial artery catheterisation with conventional ultrasound guided catheterisation performed by anaesthesiology trainees. DESIGN Prospective randomised controlled trial. SETTINGS Tertiary university hospital from September 2021 to February 2023. PATIENTS One hundred and twenty-two paediatric patients (age <7 years, weight ≥3 kg) who required radial artery cannulation during general anaesthesia. INTERVENTIONS The participants were randomly assigned to either the ultrasound screen group (control) or the smart glasses group prior to radial artery catheterisation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was the first attempt success rate. Secondary outcomes included the number of attempts, use of transfixion technique, overall complication rate, and clinical anaesthesiology (CA) year of the operators. RESULTS A total of 119 paediatric patients were included in the analysis. The smart glasses group exhibited higher first-attempt success rate than did the control group (89.8% [53/59] vs. 71.7% [43/60]; P = 0.023; odds ratio (OR) 3.49; (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.27-9.6). The overall number of attempts [median, 1; interquartile range (IQR), 1-1; range, 1-3 vs. median, 1; IQR, 1-2; range, 1-4; P = 0.006], use of transfixion technique (12/59 [20.3%] vs. 28/60 [46.7%]; P = 0.002), and overall complication rate (6.8% [4/59] vs. 30.0% [18/60]; P = 0.002) were lower in the smart glasses group than in the control group. However, among paediatric anaesthesiology fellows (CA 5 years), the first- (89.3% [25/28] vs. 80.8% [21/26]; P = 0.619) and second-attempt success rates (96.4% [27/28] vs. 80.8% [21/26]; P = 0.163) did not differ between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Smart glasses-assisted ultrasound guided radial artery catheterisation improved the first attempt success rate among anaesthesiology trainees, reducing the number of attempts and overall complication rates in small paediatric patients. Smart glasses were more effective for anaesthesia residents (CA 2-4 years) but were not effective for paediatric anaesthesiology fellows (CA 5 years).

Abstract
In this study, three diterpenoids (1-3), including one known compound (1), were isolated from the fruits of Vitex rotundifolia and their structures were determined via spectroscopic analysis. In lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, these compounds dose-dependently decreased the intracellular reactive oxygen species levels and nitric oxide production compared to those in the control cells. At 25 μM/mL, these compounds also diminished the protein expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, and interleukin-6, with compound 3 exhibiting the most potent inhibitory effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal pain management after insertion of a central venous catheter in children remains unclear. AIM This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a selective supraclavicular nerve block on postoperative analgesia in pediatric patients undergoing hickman catheter or chemoport insertion. METHODS Fifty patients aged 3-18 years scheduled for elective Hickman or chemoport insertion were randomized into two groups of 25 each: one group received an ultrasound-guided selective supraclavicular nerve block with 0.1 mL/kg of 0.5% ropivacaine (SSCNB group), and the other group did not receive a nerve block (control group). The primary outcome was the postoperative Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale score measured between 10 and 30 min after surgery. Secondary outcomes included pain scores at 1, 3, and 24 h after the surgery, block-related complications, length of stay in the postanesthesia care unit, postoperative analgesic consumption, and time to first analgesic use 24 h after surgery. RESULTS The worst pain score within 30 min in the recovery room was significantly lower in the SSCNB group compared to the control group (6 [5-7] vs. 3 [2-4]; median difference, -3; 95% CI, -4 to -1; p < .001). Pain scores at 1, 3, and 24 h after surgery were also significantly lower in the SSCNB group. The need for both opioid and non-opioid analgesics in the postoperative period was significantly lower in the SSCNB group (36.0% vs. 0%; p = .002 and 44.0% vs. 16.0%; mean difference, -28%; 95% CI, -56 to 0.19; p = .033, respectively), while other secondary outcomes were not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Ultrasound-guided SSCNB is an effective method for managing postoperative pain in children undergoing Hickman catheter or chemoport insertion, reducing the need for analgesics within 24 h after surgery.

Abstract
Cinnamomum cassia (cassia) is a tropical aromatic evergreen tree of the Lauraceae family well known for its fragrance and spicy flavor and widely used in Asian traditional medicine. It has recently garnered attention for its diverse potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-diabetic properties. However, the gastroprotective effect of C. cassia, particularly against ethanol-induced gastric damage, remains unclear. We investigated the potential gastroprotective property of C. cassia and the underlying mechanisms of action in a rat model of ethanol-induced gastric injury. To assess its effectiveness, rats were fed C. cassia for a 14-day period prior to inducing gastric damage by oral administration of ethanol. Our results indicated that pre-treatment with C. cassia mitigated ethanol-induced gastric mucosal lesions and bleeding. Reduced gastric acid secretion and expression of acid secretion-linked receptors were also observed. Additionally, pretreatment with C. cassia led to decreased levels of inflammatory factors, including TNF-α, p-p65, and IκBα. Notably, C. cassia upregulated the expressions of HO1 and HSP90, with particular emphasis on the enhanced expression of PAS and MUC, the crucial gastric mucosa defense molecules. These findings suggest that C. cassia has protective effects on the gastric mucosa and can effectively reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The perianesthetic morbidity, mortality risk and anesthesia-associated risk after preoperative coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) omicron variant in pediatric patients have not been fully demonstrated. We examined the association between preoperative COVID-19 omicron diagnosis and the incidence of overall perioperative adverse events in pediatric patients who received general anesthesia. METHODS This retrospective study included patients aged < 18 years who received general anesthesia between February 1 and June 10, 2022, in a single tertiary pediatric hospital. They were divided into two groups; patients in a COVID-19 group were matched to patients in a non-COVID-19 group during the omicron-predominant period in Korea. Data on patient characteristics, anesthesia records, post-anesthesia records, COVID-19-related history, symptoms, and mortality were collected. The primary outcomes were the overall perioperative adverse events, including perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs), escalation of care, and mortality. RESULTS In total, 992 patients were included in the data analysis (n = 496, COVID-19; n = 496, non-COVID-19) after matching. The overall incidence of perioperative adverse events was significantly higher in the COVID-19 group than in the non-COVID-19 group (odds ratio [OR], 1.92; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.89-1.94). The difference was significant for PRAEs (OR, 2.00; 95% CI, 1.96-2.02) but not in escalation of care or mortality. The most pronounced difference between the two groups was observed in instances of high peak inspiratory pressure ≥ 25 cmH2O during the intraoperative period (OR, 11.0; 95% CI, 10.5-11.4). Compared with the non-COVID-19 group, the risk of overall perioperative adverse events was higher in the COVID-19 group diagnosed 0-2 weeks before anesthesia (OR, 6.5; 95% CI, 2.1-20.4) or symptomatic on the anesthesia day (OR, 6.4; 95% CI, 3.30-12.4). CONCLUSION Pediatric patients with the preoperative COVID-19 omicron variant had increased risk of PRAEs. Patients within 2 weeks after COVID-19 or those with symptoms had a higher risk of PRAEs.

Abstract
PURPOSE Increased portal venous flow pulsatility is associated with major complications after adult cardiac surgery. Nevertheless, no data are available for pediatric patients with congenital heart disease. We hypothesized that Doppler parameters including portal flow pulsatility could be associated with postoperative outcomes in children undergoing various cardiac surgeries. METHODS We conducted a prospective observational cohort study in children undergoing congenital cardiac surgery. We obtained postoperative portal, splenic, and hepatic venous Doppler data and perioperative clinical data including major postoperative complications. Portal and splenic venous flow pulsatility were calculated. We evaluated the association between venous Doppler parameters and adverse outcomes. The primary objective was to determine whether postoperative portal flow pulsatility could indicate major complications following congenital heart surgery. RESULTS In this study, we enrolled 389 children, 74 of whom experienced major postoperative complications. The mean (standard deviation) portal pulsatility (44 [30]% vs 25 [14]%; 95% confidence interval [CI] for mean difference, 12 to 26; P < 0.001] and splenic pulsatility indices (41 [30]% vs 26 [16]%; 95% CI, 7 to 23; P < 0.001) were significantly higher in children with postoperative complications than in those without complications. The portal pulsatility index was able to help identify postoperative complications in biventricular patients and univentricular patients receiving bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt whereas it did not in other univentricular patients. An increased postoperative portal pulsatility index was significantly associated with major complications after pediatric cardiac surgery (odds ratio, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.29 to 1.91; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Higher portal venous pulsatility is associated with major postoperative complications in children undergoing cardiac surgery. Nevertheless, more data are needed to conclude the efficacy of portal venous pulsatility in patients with univentricular physiology.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is known that pulse pressure variation and systolic pressure variation cannot predict fluid responsiveness in children. In adults, the ability of these dynamic parameters to predict fluid responsiveness is improved by increasing tidal volume. We planned to investigate whether pulse pressure variation or systolic pressure variation can predict fluid responsiveness in children when augmented by increasing tidal volume by conducting a prospective study. METHODS We enrolled children younger than 7 years who underwent cardiac surgery for atrial septal defect or ventricular septal defect. After sternum closure, pulse pressure variation and systolic pressure variation were continuously recorded while changing the tidal volume to 6, 10, and 14 mL/kg. Fluid loading was done with 10 mL/kg of crystalloids for 10 min, and stroke volume index was measured via transesophageal echocardiography. Children whose stroke volume index increased by more than 15% after the fluid loading were defined as responders to fluid therapy. We set primary outcome as the predictability of pulse pressure variation and systolic pressure variation for fluid responsiveness and measured the area under the curve of receiver operating characteristics curve. RESULTS Twenty-six children were included, of which 15 were responders. At the tidal volume of 14 mL/kg, the area under the curves of receiver operating characteristics curves of pulse pressure variation and systolic pressure variation were 0.576 (p = .517) and 0.548 (p = .678), respectively. The differences in dynamic parameters between responders and nonresponders were not significant. DISCUSSION Failure of pulse pressure variation or systolic pressure variation at augmented tidal volume in children may be due to difference in their arterial compliance from those of adults. Large compliance of thoracic wall may be another reason. CONCLUSIONS Augmented pulse pressure variation or systolic pressure variation due to increased tidal volume cannot predict fluid responsiveness in children after simple cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimizing endotracheal tube (ETT) shape is important for successful videolaryngoscope-aided intubation. This prospective randomized controlled study aimed to compare the tube-handling time between a C-curved and hockey stick-shaped stylet in infants and neonates using the C-MAC® videolaryngoscope Miller blade. METHODS A total of 110 infants (age < 1 year) were randomly assigned to either the hockey stick-curved stylet group (group H, n = 53) or the C-curved stylet group (group C, n = 57). The primary outcome was tube handling time after glottis visualization and the secondary outcomes were the total intubation time, incidence of successful intubation, initial tube tip location at the laryngeal inlet, and numerical rating scale for ease of intubation. RESULTS Tube insertion time and total intubation duration (both in seconds) were significantly shorter in group C than in group H (13.3 ± 8.9 vs. 25.1 ± 27.0, P = 0.002; 19.9 ± 9.4 vs. 32.8 ± 27.1, P = 0.001, respectively). Group C displayed a higher rate of intubation success within 30 s than group H (87.7% vs. 69.8%, P = 0.029). The initial tube tip was located at the center in 34 children in group C (59.6%) and 12 children in group H (26.1%, P < 0.001). Laryngoscope operators rated intubation as easier when provided with a C-curved stylet. CONCLUSIONS In neonates and infants, modification of the ETT shape into a C-curve may reduce tube handling time compared to the conventional hockey stick-shaped tube during intubation using a C-MAC® video laryngoscope Miller blade.

Abstract
Gastric mucosa is important to protect the gastric damage against external factors. We previously reported the gastro-protective effects of steamed and freeze-dried mature silkworm larval powder (SMSP) in ethanol-treated rats. However, the factors that promote mucosal formation still remain unclarified. In this study, we evaluated the effect of SMSP on the restoration and maintenance of gastric mucosal layer as well as anti-inflammatory response in ethanol-induced stomach injury in rats. A significant decrease of ulcer indexes, histopathological scores and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels was observed in SMSP-treated group. In addition, SMSP protected the mucosal layer from ethanol-induced gastric damage by increasing the expression of nitric oxide synthases and heat shock proteins, along with promoting genes related gastric mucosal protection and biosynthesis including mucin 5AC and trefoil factors. These results demonstrate that SMSP attenuates the pro-inflammatory responses and strengthens the gastric mucosal layer, thus exhibiting gastro-protective effect against ethanol-induced gastric injury in rats.

Abstract
Neural recording systems have significantly progressed to provide an advanced understanding and treatment for neurological diseases. Flexible transistor-based active neural probes exhibit great potential in electrophysiology applications due to their intrinsic amplification capability and tissue-compliant nature. However, most current active neural probes exhibit bulky back-end connectivity since the output is current, and the development of an integrated circuit for voltage output is crucial for near-sensor signal processing at the abiotic/biotic interface. Here, inkjet-printed organic voltage amplifiers are presented by monolithically integrating organic electrochemical transistors and thin-film polymer resistors on a single, highly flexible substrate for in vivo brain activity recording. Additive inkjet printing enables the seamless integration of multiple active and passive components on the somatosensory cortex, leading to significant noise reduction over the externally connected typical configuration. It also facilitates fine-tuning of the voltage amplification and frequency properties. The organic voltage amplifiers are validated as electrocorticography devices in a rat in vivo model, showing their ability to record local field potentials in an experimental model of spontaneous and epileptiform activity. These results bring organic active neural probes to the forefront in applications where efficient sensory data processing is performed at sensor endpoints.

Abstract
(1) Background: Continuous participation in a comprehensive dementia prevention program is important for community-dwelling older adults during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, as limitations on their communities and social participation have increased and participation in daily tasks has decreased. These factors can negatively affect their cognitive function and symptoms of depression. This study aimed to introduce an evidence-based online dementia prevention program in the South Korean context and to identify its effect on cognitive function and symptoms of depression in community-dwelling older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. (2) Methods: One hundred and one community-dwelling older adults without dementia participated in twelve sessions of an online dementia prevention program designed by occupational therapists. Cognitive function and symptoms of depression were assessed before and after the program. Cognitive function was tested using the Cognitive Impairment Screening Test and symptoms of depression were assessed using the Korean version of the Short Geriatric Depression Scale. The participants' opinions were gathered using open-ended questions. (3) Results: After the program, according to the raw score, orientation was maintained and attention, visuospatial function, executive function, memory, and language function increased. The memory and total cognitive score was improved significantly. Symptoms of depression significantly decreased. The program's benefits according to the participants were participation in new activities, boredom reduction, online communication, and reminiscence. (4) Conclusions: An online dementia prevention program is effective in maintaining and increasing cognitive function and preventing depression in community-dwelling older adults. An online dementia prevention program is a useful method in providing opportunities to participate in cognitive training and continuous daily activities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The light reflex, which reflects central nervous system dysfunction, can also be affected by anesthetic agents. AIMS We evaluated whether these effects differed according to the anesthetic agent in pediatric patients. METHODS Twenty children aged 3-12 years who were scheduled to undergo elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly allocated to propofol and sevoflurane groups and underwent pupillometric assessments at five points during anesthesia: T1, after confirming loss of consciousness; T2, after endotracheal intubation; T3, at the time of skin incision; T4, 1 h after skin incision; and T5, before endotracheal extubation. The primary outcome was the Neurological Pupil index at T4, and the secondary outcomes were other pupillometric parameters, including pupil diameter, percentage of change in pupil diameter, dilation velocity, and constriction velocity. RESULTS At T4, the Neurological Pupil index was significantly lower in the sevoflurane group (median difference, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.00 to 0.70; p = .036). Furthermore, the Neurological Pupil index at all time points was lower in the sevoflurane group. The time-and-group interaction effects on constriction velocity and dilation velocity were significantly different [F(1, 4) = 16.68, p = .002; F(1, 4) = 14.78, p = .008, respectively] but were not different on the Neurological Pupil index, pupil diameter, and percentage of change in pupil diameter. No intergroup differences were observed in the baseline characteristics, the flow rate of remifentanil at each time point, and total infused remifentanil. CONCLUSION The Neurological Pupil index value in pediatric patients under general anesthesia is affected by the anesthetic agent used; this factor requires consideration in evaluations of the Neurological Pupil index during general anesthesia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Little is known about changes in portal, splenic, and hepatic vein flow patterns in children undergoing congenital heart surgery. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of portal, splenic, and hepatic vein flow patterns using ultrasonography in children undergoing cardiac surgery. DESIGN Single-center, prospective observational study. SETTING Tertiary children's hospital, operating room. PARTICIPANTS Children undergoing cardiac surgery. MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS The authors obtained ultrasound data from the heart, inferior vena cava, portal, splenic, and hepatic veins before and after surgeries. In the biventricular group, which included children with atrial and ventricular septal defects and pulmonary stenosis (n = 246), the portal pulsatility index decreased from 38.7% to 25.6% (p < 0.001) after surgery. The preoperative portal pulsatility index was significantly higher in patients with pulmonary hypertension (43.3% v 27.4%; p < 0.001). In the single-ventricle group (n = 77), maximum portal vein flow velocities of Fontan patients were significantly lower (13.5 cm/s) compared with that of patients with modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (19.7 cm/s; p = 0.035) or bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (23.1 cm/s; p < 0.001). The cardiac index was inversely correlated with the portal pulsatility index in the bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt and Fontan circulation. (β = -5.693, r2 = 0.473; p = 0.001) The portal pulsatility index was correlated with splenic venous pulsatility and hepatic venous atrial reverse flow velocity in biventricular and single-ventricle groups. CONCLUSIONS The characteristics of venous Doppler patterns in the portal, splenic, and hepatic veins differed according to congenital heart disease. Further studies are required to determine the association between splanchnic venous Doppler findings and clinical outcomes in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary bypass can affect the pharmacokinetics of anesthetic agents. AIMS We aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of dexmedetomidine for infants and small children undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass based on population pharmacokinetics. METHODS We enrolled 30 pediatric cardiac surgical patients in this study. After anesthetic induction with atropine (0.02 mg/kg), thiopental sodium (5 mg/kg), and fentanyl (2-3 μg/kg), we administered 1 μg/kg of dexmedetomidine for 10 min, followed by administration of 0.5 μg/kg of dexmedetomidine per hour during surgery. At the initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass, 1 μg/kg of dexmedetomidine was infused over 5 min. Arterial blood was obtained at predefined time points. A pharmacokinetic model was developed using NONMEM. Theory-based allometric scaling with fixed exponents was applied. Weight, age, post-menstrual age, fat-free mass, whether to implement cardiopulmonary bypass and temperature were explored as covariates. RESULTS A total of 376 blood samples were obtained from 29 children (age: 20.3 ± 19.3 months, weight: 9.7 ± 4.1 kg). A two-compartment mammillary model with third compartment associated cardiopulmonary bypass procedure best explained the pharmacokinetics of dexmedetomidine. The pharmacokinetic parameter estimates (95% CI) standardized to a 70-kg person were as follows: V1 (L) = 31.6 (17.9-39.5), V2 (L) = 90.1 (44.0-330), Cl (L/min) = 1.08 (0.70-1.25), Q (L/min) = 2.0 (1.05-3.46). Volume for third compartment associated cardiopulmonary bypass procedure (L) = 39.4 (19.3-50.9). Clearance was not influenced by the presence of cardiopulmonary bypass in this model. CONCLUSION When cardiopulmonary bypass is applied, the plasma concentration of dexmedetomidine decreases due to an increase in the volume of distribution, so a loading dose is required to maintain the previous concentration.

Abstract
We retrospectively analyzed National Health Insurance claims data (January 2002-December 2018) to determine the asthma prevalence and risk factors among preterm infants born in Korea. Patients with asthma were defined as those with a history of asthma medication prescriptions at least twice per year with International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Edition codes J45 and J46. We enrolled 99,139 preterm infants. The prevalence of asthma among preterm and term infants was 32.7% and 26.9%, 21.2% and 19.1%, 6.7% and 5.9%, 2.0%, and 1.6%, and 2.4% and 1.6% at 2, 5, 10, 15, and 16 years of age, respectively. The relative risk (RR) of asthma in preterm infants was 1.1-fold that in female preterm infants. The RR of asthma medication prescriptions for infants with extreme prematurity was 1.92-fold that of infants with moderate/late pre-term status. Among preterm with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) without comorbidities, the RRs for the number of asthma medication prescriptions were 1.34 and 1.06, respectively. This study revealed a higher prevalence of asthma among preterm infants than that in term infants. Male sex, extreme prematurity, BPD, and RDS were identified as risk factors for asthma medication prescriptions in preterm infants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reducing the duration of intraoperative hypoxemia in pediatric patients by means of rapid detection and early intervention is considered crucial by clinicians. We aimed to develop and validate a machine learning model that can predict intraoperative hypoxemia events 1 min ahead in children undergoing general anesthesia. METHODS This retrospective study used prospectively collected intraoperative vital signs and parameters from the anesthesia ventilator machine extracted every 2 s in pediatric patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia between January 2019 and October 2020 in a tertiary academic hospital. Intraoperative hypoxemia was defined as oxygen saturation <95% at any point during surgery. Three common machine learning techniques were employed to develop models using the training dataset: gradient-boosting machine (GBM), long short-term memory (LSTM), and transformer. The performances of the models were compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve using randomly assigned internal testing dataset. We also validated the developed models using temporal holdout dataset. Pediatric patient surgery cases between November 2020 and January 2021 were used. The performances of the models were compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). RESULTS In total, 1,540 (11.73%) patients with intraoperative hypoxemia out of 13,130 patients' records with 2,367 episodes were included for developing the model dataset. After model development, 200 (13.25%) of the 1,510 patients' records with 289 episodes were used for holdout validation. Among the models developed, the GBM had the highest AUROC of 0.904 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.902 to 0.906), which was significantly higher than that of the LSTM (0.843, 95% CI 0.840 to 0.846 P < .001) and the transformer model (0.885, 95% CI, 0.882-0.887, P < .001). In holdout validation, GBM also demonstrated best performance with an AUROC of 0.939 (95% CI 0.936 to 0.941) which was better than LSTM (0.904, 95% CI 0.900 to 0.907, P < .001) and the transformer model (0.929, 95% CI 0.926 to 0.932, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Machine learning models can be used to predict upcoming intraoperative hypoxemia in real-time based on the biosignals acquired by patient monitors, which can be useful for clinicians for prediction and proactive treatment of hypoxemia in an intraoperative setting.

Abstract
Backgrounds Many studies have examined the risk factors for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI), but few have focused on intraoperative peripheral perfusion index (PPI), which has recently been shown to be associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between intraoperative PPI and postoperative AKI under the hypothesis that lower intraoperative PPI is associated with AKI occurrence. Methods We retrospectively searched electronic medical records to identify patients who underwent surgery at the general surgery department from May 2021 to November 2021. Patient baseline characteristics, pre- and post-operative laboratory test results, comorbidities, intraoperative vital signs, and discharge profiles were obtained from the Institutional Clinical Data Warehouse and VitalDB. Intraoperative PPI was the primary exposure variable, and the primary outcome was postoperative AKI. Results Overall, 2554 patients were identified and 1586 patients were included in our analysis. According to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria, postoperative AKI occurred in 123 (7.8%) patients. We found that risks of postoperative AKI increased (odds ratio 2.00, 95% confidence interval 1.16-3.44, p = 0.012) when PPI was < 0.5 for > 10% of surgery time. Other risk factors for AKI occurrence were male sex, older age, higher American Society of Anesthesiologists status, obesity, underlying renal disease, prolonged operation time, transfusion, and emergent operation. Conclusion Low intraoperative PPI was independently associated with postoperative AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative respiratory adverse events are common in children. We aimed to evaluate the effect of the transdermal β-2 agonist, tulobuterol, compared with that of placebo on the incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events in pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy. METHODS In this triple-blinded (patient, anesthesia provider, and outcome assessor) randomized controlled trial, 188 patients were randomly allocated to receive tulobuterol or a placebo. The tulobuterol groups received a tulobuterol patch (1 mg) masked with a bandage, whereas the placebo only received the bandage. The assigned bandage was applied to the patients 8 to 10 hours before the surgery. The primary outcome was the occurrence of any perioperative respiratory adverse events: oxygen desaturation <95%, airway obstruction, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, severe coughing, or stridor. The outcomes were evaluated using the average relative effect test, which estimates the effect of individual components of a composite outcome and then averages effects across components. RESULTS A total of 88 and 94 patients who received tulobuterol and placebo, respectively, were analyzed. The incidence of any perioperative respiratory adverse event was lower with tulobuterol (n = 13/88; 14.7%) than that with the placebo (n = 40/94; 42.5%), with an estimated average relative risk (95% confidence interval) across components of 0.35 (0.20-0.60; P < .001). The symptoms of airway obstruction were lower with tulobuterol (n = 8/88; 9.0%) than that with the placebo (n = 32/94; 34.0%), with relative risk (95% CI) of 0.31 (0.17-0.56; P < .001). The occurrence of severe coughing was lower with tulobuterol (n = 1/88; 1.1%) than that with the placebo (n = 8/94; 8.5%), with relative risk (95% CI) of 0.15 (0.03-0.68; P = .014). CONCLUSIONS In preschool children undergoing tonsillectomy, the preoperative application of a tulobuterol patch could decrease the occurrence of perioperative respiratory adverse events. Further studies are needed to elucidate the effect of the tulobuterol patch in a broad spectrum of pediatric anesthesia.

Abstract
Many people peel fruits, commonly persimmon, grape, apple, and peach, before eating as table fruits. Differences of bioactive compounds between peels and pulps of daily fruits are widely known but limited to individual compound because understanding of differences in their global metabolites is lack. We employed 1H NMR-based metabolomics to explore the global metabolite differences between their peels and pulps from the fruits, which included changes of diverse metabolites in persimmon after harvest ripening. Of diverse metabolites observed among the fruits tested, various health-beneficial metabolites were present in the peels rather than the pulps and their classes were dependent on the type of fruit: gallocatechin, epicatechin and epigallocatehin only in persimmon, apple, and peach, respectively; quercetin only in persimmon and apple; kaempferol only in persimmon; chlorogenic acid only in grape and peach; neochlorogenic acid only in apple and peach; p-coumaric acid only in grape; phloridzin and catechin only in apple. These metabolites in the peels of each fruits were strongly correlated with free radical-scavenging activity and delay of carbohydrate digestion. Therefore, intake of whole fruits, rather than removal of their peels, were recommended for potential improvement of healthy lifespan and human wellness. This study highlights the critical role of metabolomic studies in simultaneous determinations of diverse and intrinsic metabolites in different types of fruits and thus providing a strategy for healthy eating habits of daily fruits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral chloral hydrate is widely used in pediatric sedation. Intranasal dexmedetomidine has been increasingly used for pediatric sedation; however, its improvement is warranted. The combination of dexmedetomidine with ketamine can improve onset and hemodynamic stability while maintaining sedative efficacy. This study aims to determine the efficacy and safety of intranasal combination of dexmedetomidine and ketamine compared to oral chloral hydrate. METHODS This is a prospective, parallel-arm, single-blinded, two-center, superiority randomized controlled trial with 1:1 allocation, designed to compare the effects of intranasal combination of dexmedetomidine and ketamine with those of oral chloral hydrate. We shall enroll 136 patients aged < 7 years old in this study. Prior to the procedure, we shall randomize each patient into the control group (oral chloral hydrate 50 mg/kg) or study group (intranasal dexmedetomidine 2 μg/kg and ketamine 3 mg/kg). The primary outcome will be the rate of achieving an adequate sedation level (6-point Pediatric Sedation State Scale 1, 2, or 3) within 15 min. In addition, we shall measure the sedation time, sedation failure rate, completion of procedure, adverse events, patient acceptance, and physician satisfaction. DISCUSSION This study will provide evidence of the efficacy and safety of the intranasal combination of dexmedetomidine and ketamine in comparison with oral chloral hydrate.

Abstract
Background: Sugammadex is known to reverse neuromuscular blockade induced by non-depolarizing agents. In children, the recommended dose for reversal of moderate neuromuscular blockade is 2 mg/kg. We investigated the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of sugammadex in Korean children. Methods: Children (2-17 years of age) undergoing brain or spine surgery were enrolled and randomly assigned to control (neostigmine) and 2, 4, or 8 mg/kg sugammadex groups. Following induction of anesthesia and monitoring of the response to train-of-four stimulation, 1 mg/kg rocuronium was intravenously administered. Upon reappearance of the second twitch to train-of-four stimulation, the study drug was administered according to group allocation. The plasma concentrations of rocuronium and sugammadex were serially measured at nine predefined time points following study drug administration. To determine efficacy, we measured the time elapsed from drug administration to recovery of T4/T1 ≥ 0.9. For pharmacokinetics, non-compartmental analysis was performed and we monitored adverse event occurrence from the time of study drug administration until 24 h post-surgery. Results: Among the 29 enrolled participants, the sugammadex (2 mg/kg) and control groups showed recovery times [median (interquartile range)] of 1.3 (1.0-1.9) and 7.7 (5.3-21.0) min, respectively (p = 0.002). There were no significant differences in recovery time among the participants in sugammadex groups. The pharmacokinetics of sugammadex were comparable to those of literature findings. Although two hypotensive events related to sugammadex were observed, no intervention was necessary. Conclusion: The findings of this pharmacokinetic analysis and efficacy study of sugammadex in Korean children indicated that sugammadex (2 mg/kg) may be safely administered for reversing moderate neuromuscular blockade. Some differences in pharmacokinetics of sugammadex were observed according to age. Clinical Trial Registration: http://clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04347486).

Abstract
Background Although fiberoptic-guided endotracheal intubation using a supraglottic airway device is a good alternative for the management of difficult airways, its learning curve for residents has not been evaluated in pediatric patients. We aimed to train residents using a pediatric manikin and obtain learning curves for the procedure to evaluate the efficiency of the training. Methods We conducted a single-armed prospective study with anesthesiology residents. Plain endotracheal tube intubation guided by a fiberoptic bronchoscope through Ambu® AuraGainTM was demonstrated in a pediatric manikin to the participants before training. The procedure was divided into four steps: supraglottic airway device insertion, vocal cord identification, carina identification, and endotracheal tube insertion into the trachea. The results and elapsed procedure times of each trial were recorded. The learning curves for the participants were constructed and analyzed using the cumulative sum method. Results All of the 30 participants acquired proficiency at the end of the practice between eight and 25 trials. The overall success rate for the procedure was 92.8%, and above 80% for all participants. Mean (±SD) procedure time was 71.3 (±50.7) s. The 4th step accounted for 86.2% of total failures and 48.0% of the total procedure time. The procedure time rapidly decreased in the 2nd trial, and a modest decline was observed thereafter. Conclusions Anesthesiology residents obtained proficiency within 25 times of practice for fiberoptic-guided intubation in a pediatric manikin through an AuraGain supraglottic airway device with acceptable success rate and procedure time. The procedure time markedly decreased following the first experience.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maintaining cerebral blood flow is important in intraoperative management of moyamoya disease patients. AIMS To access changes in the carotid artery blood flow velocity in response to fluid challenge, blood pressure, and cardiac output under general anesthesia in pediatric patients with moyamoya disease. METHODS This observational study included pediatric patients with moyamoya disease undergoing general anesthesia for encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis. Each patient underwent an ultrasound assessment thrice as follows: after anesthetic induction (T1), after fluid challenge (10 ml/kg, T2), and at the end of surgery (T3). The primary outcome was the change in the internal carotid artery blood flow velocity after fluid challenge and was assessed using a paired t-test. The secondary outcomes comprised changes in the internal, external, and common carotid artery blood flow peak velocities after fluid challenge and the factors influencing these changes. RESULTS We enrolled and analyzed 30 patients with a mean age of 7.2 years. After fluid challenge, the systolic (p = .003) and mean blood pressure (p = .017), stroke volume index (p = .008), and cardiac index (p = .140) were higher than those at T1. However, both internal carotid artery blood flow velocities did not change after fluid challenge (p = .798, mean difference and 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.1 and -10.3 to 8.0 for right, p = .164, mean difference and 95% CI, -5.2 and -12.7 to 2.2 for left). The internal carotid artery blood flow velocity was correlated with the cardiac index, stroke volume index, and mean and diastolic blood pressure, with low significance. CONCLUSIONS The internal carotid artery blood flow velocity did not increase in pediatric patients with moyamoya disease under general anesthesia, despite fluid challenge and corresponding changes in the blood pressure and cardiac output. Intraoperative hemodynamic management to improve the cerebral blood flow in these patients requires further investigation.

Abstract
We assessed the accuracy of Masimo O3™ regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) readings by comparing them with reference values and evaluated the relationship between rSO2 and somatic tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) in children undergoing cardiac surgery. After anesthesia induction, pediatric sensors were applied to the forehead and foot sole, and rSO2 and StO2 values were monitored continuously. Before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), FIO2 was set to 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8 serially every 15 min. After CPB, FIO2 was reversed. The reference values (SavO2) were calculated by combining arterial (SaO2) and central venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) readings from the arterial and central lines, respectively (0.7 [Formula: see text] SvO2 + 0.3 [Formula: see text] SaO2). In total, 265 pairs of rSO2/StO2 and SavO2 from 49 patients were analyzed. The bias, standard deviation (SD), standard error (SE), and root mean squared error (RMSE) of rSO2 were 2.6%, 4.5%, 0.3%, and 4.3%, respectively. The limits of agreement ranged from -6.3% to 11.6%. Trend accuracy analysis yielded a relative mean error of -1.4%, with an SD of 4.3%, SE of 0.2%, and RMSE of 3.9%. According to multiple linear regression analysis, the application of CPB, FIO2, Hb level, and tip location of the central venous catheter influenced the bias (all P < 0.05). Furthermore, the correlation between rSO2 and StO2 was weak (r = 0.254). rSO2 readings by the Masimo O3™ device and pediatric sensor had good absolute and trending accuracies with respect to the calculated reference values in children undergoing cardiac surgery. rSO2 and StO2 cannot be used interchangeably.Clinical trial registration http://clinicaltrials.gov (number: NCT04208906).

Abstract
Propolis, a natural resinous substance obtained from a variety of buds and plants, has been reported to possess various biological functions. Several recent studies have demonstrated the inhibitory effects of propolis on the growth of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in vitro; however, current research efforts on Korean propolis (KP) remain insufficient especially in vivo. Our study aims to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect and molecular mechanism of KP on mouse gastric mucosa during H. pylori infection. We examined an in vivo H. pylori-induced gastric mucosal injury mice model. We found that KP inhibited the growth of H. pylori and attenuated the expression of H. pylori virulence factors such as cytotoxin-associated gene A, encoding urease A subunit, surface antigen gene and neutrophil-activating protein A. Moreover, KP reduced both gross lesions and pathological scores in H. pylori-challenged mice. In addition, KP markedly restrained the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide levels compared with an untreated H. pylori-infected group. In particular, we found that KP repressed the phosphorylation of IκBα and NF-κB p65 subunit, and subsequently suppressed their downstream target genes. Taken together, these findings demonstrate the beneficial effects of KP on inflammation through the inhibition of NF-κB signaling as well as inhibition of H. pylori growth in a mouse model infected with H. pylori. This suggests the potential application of KP as a natural supplement for patient’s suffering from gastric mucosal injury caused by H. pylori infection.

Abstract
The specific pair of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) and Hsp40 constitutes an essential molecular chaperone system involved in numerous cellular processes, including the proper folding/refolding and transport of proteins. Hsp40 family members are characterized by the presence of a conserved J-domain (JD) that functions as a co-chaperone of Hsp70. Tumorous imaginal disc 1 (Tid1) is a tumor suppressor protein belonging to the DNAJA3 subfamily of Hsp40 and functions as a co-chaperone of the mitochondrial Hsp70, mortalin. In this work, we performed nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to determine the solution structure of JD and its interaction with the glycine/phenylalanine-rich region (GF-motif) of human Tid1. Notably, Tid1-JD, whose conformation was consistent with that of the DNAJB1 JD, appeared to stably interact with its subsequent GF-motif region. Collectively with our sequence analysis, the present results demonstrate that the functional and regulatory mode of Tid1 resembles that of the DNAJB1 subfamily members rather than DNAJA1 or DNAJA2 subfamily proteins. Therefore, it is suggested that an allosteric interaction between mortalin and Tid1 is involved in the mitochondrial Hsp70/Hsp40 chaperone system.

Abstract
Background: Sustained interest is needed in the characteristics of critical incidents in pediatric anesthesia and related changes, for determining the causes and degree of potential harm; this will also improve the quality of medical care. This study aimed to analyze the incidence of critical incidents recorded in 2014–2019, and to compare them with those in 2008–2013.Methods: Critical incidents associated with pediatric anesthesia, including cardiac arrest, recorded in a voluntary departmental reporting system between January 2014 and December 2019 were compared with those reported between January 2008 and August 2013 using chi-square test. Results: We identified 295 (0.55%) critical incidents from 53,541 cases of pediatric anesthesia (3,471 cardiothoracic surgeries); this is consistent with the previously reported incidence of 0.46%. Among the critical incidents, the incidences of adverse events, sentinel event, near miss case and no-harm events were 93.9%, 1.7%, 0%, and 6.1% in 2014–2019, whereas those were 98.3%, 2.6%, 1.7%, and 0% in 2008–2013 (P = 0.023, 0.686, 0.08, and < 0.001, respectively). Cardiac arrest accounted for 25 (8.5%) cases of the 295 critical events, which significantly lower than that previously reported (18.3%; P = 0.02). Human factor-related events accounted for 61.0% of all critical incidences; this was similar to the previous data (58.5%). Conclusions: Over six years, there has been no significant difference in the total incidence of critical events. Despite the decrease in the incidence of serious critical events, perioperative care in pediatric anesthesia can be further improved.

Abstract
In cellular experiments, radiation-induced DNA damage can be quantified by counting the number of γ-H2AX foci in cell nucleus by using an immunofluorescence microscope. Quantification of DNA damage carries uncertainty, not only due to lack of full understanding the biological processes but also limitations in measurement techniques. The causes of limited certainty include the possibility of expressing foci in varying sizes responding individual DSBs and the overlapping of foci on the two-dimensional (2D) immunofluorescence microscopy image of γ-H2AX foci, especially when produced due to high-LET radiation exposure. There have been discussions on those limitations, but no successful studies to overcome them. In this paper, a practical modelling has been developed to simulate the occurrences of double-strand breaks (DSBs) and the formations of γ-H2AX foci in response to individual DSB formations, in cell nucleus due to exposure to alpha particles. Cell irradiation and DSB production were simulated using a user-written code that utilizes Geant4-DNA physics models. A C + + code was used to simulate the formation γ-H2AX foci, which were spatially correlated to the loci of DBSs, and to calculate the number of individual foci from the observed 2D image of the cell nucleus containing the overlapping γ-H2AX foci. The average size of focal images was larger from alpha particle exposure than that from X-ray exposure, whereas the number of separate focal images were comparable except at doses up to 0.5 Gy. About 40% of separate focal images consisted of overlapping γ-H2AX foci at 1 Gy of alpha particle exposure. The foci overlapping ratios were obtained by simulation for individual size groups of focal images at varying doses. The size distributions of foci at varying doses were determined with experimentally obtained separate focal images. The correction factor for foci number was calculated using the foci overlapping ratio and foci size distribution, which are specific to dose from alpha particle exposure. The number of individual foci formations induced by applying the correction factor to the experimentally observed number of focal images better reflected the quality of alpha particles in causing DNA damage. Consequently, the conventional γ-H2AX assay can be better implemented by employing this computational modelling of γ-H2AX foci formation.

Abstract
Background The use of cricoid compression to prevent insufflation remains controversial, and its use in children is limited. This study aimed to examine the effect of real-time ultrasound-guided esophageal compression on the prevention of gastric insufflation. Method This prospective observational study was conducted with fifty children aged < 2 years undergoing general anesthesia. Patients were excluded if they were at an increased risk for gastric regurgitation or pulmonary aspiration. Following anesthetic induction under spontaneous breathing, ultrasound-guided esophageal compression was performed during pressure-controlled face-mask ventilation using a gradual increase in peak inspiratory pressure from 10 to 24 cm H2O to determine the pressure at which gastric insufflation occurred. The primary outcome was the incidence of gastric insufflation during anesthetic induction with variable peak inspiratory pressure after real-time ultrasound-guided esophageal compression was applied. Results Data from a total of 42 patients were analyzed. Gastric insufflation was observed in 2 (4.7%) patients. All patients except one had their esophagus on the left side of the trachea. Applying ultrasound-guided esophageal compression did not affect the percentage of glottic opening scores (P = 0.220). Conclusions The use of real-time ultrasound-guided esophageal compression pressure can aid preventing gastric insufflation during face-mask ventilation in children less than 2 years old.

Abstract
Neonatal seizures are the most common neurological symptoms caused by various etiologies in the neonatal period, but their diagnosis and treatment are challenging because their pathophysiology and electroclinical manifestations differ from those of patients in older age groups. Many seizures present as electrographic-only events without clinical signs or as obscure clinical manifestations that are difficult to distinguish from other neonatal behaviors. Accordingly, a new definition and classification of neonatal seizures was recently proposed by the International League Against Epilepsy Task Force on neonatal seizures, highlighting the role of electroencephalography in diagnosing and treating neonatal seizures. Neonatal seizures are defined as electrographic events with sudden, paroxysmal, and abnormal alteration of activity and divided into electroclinical seizures and electrographic-only seizures according to their clinical signs, thus excluding clinical events without an electrographic correlation. Seizure types are described by their predominant clinical features and divided into motor (automatisms, clonic, epileptic spasms, myoclonic, tonic, and sequential), nonmotor (autonomic and behavioral arrest), and unclassified. Although many neonatal seizures are acute reactive events caused by hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy or vascular insults, structural, genetic, or metabolic etiologies of neonatal-onset epilepsy should also be thoroughly evaluated to determine their appropriate management.

Abstract
Cortical electroencephalography-based devices are used to monitor the depth of anesthesia. In this study, we evaluated the values of bispectral index (BIS) and patient state index (PSI) during sevoflurane anesthesia in children. The ability/accuracy of BIS and PSI to predict the maintenance and recovery state of anesthesia was evaluated based on prediction probability (Pk) values and the secondary outcomes were agreement and correlation of 2 monitors. Fifty children (3-12 years old) were enrolled and the patients received sevoflurane anesthesia with remifentanil followed by propofol administration. Before the induction of anesthesia, BIS and PSI sensors were simultaneously placed on the forehead, and data were collected until the end of anesthesia. Maintenance state was defined as the period following intubation until the cessation of sevoflurane, while recovery state was defined as the period following the cessation of sevoflurane until awake. Pk, agreement or correlation of BIS and PSI in different anesthesia state were calculated. Anesthesia reduced mean BIS and PSI values. Pk of BIS (95% confidential interval [CI]: 0.78-0.91) and PSI (95% CI: 0.82-0.91) for anesthesia were 0.85 and 0.87, respectively. Agreement was 0.79 for recovery state and 0.73 for maintenance state. Pk values were comparable for BIS and PSI. Agreement between BIS and PSI measurements in the same state was relatively good. Therefore, these monitors are appropriate for monitoring for different state of anesthesia in pediatric population.

Abstract
The use of high-flow nasal oxygen is gaining popularity in apneic and spontaneously breathing adult patients during anesthesia. This prospective observational study evaluated the effect of high-flow nasal oxygen in maintaining adequate oxygenation and ventilation in spontaneously breathing pediatric patients with dynamic airway obstruction, undergoing tubeless airway surgery. Oxygenation was provided via an age-appropriate, high-flow nasal cannula at a flow rate of 2 L kg-1 min-1. Propofol and remifentanil were used to maintain anesthesia while preserving spontaneous respiration. We sought to determine the incidence and risk factors of rescue ventilation. Rescue ventilation with a face mask was performed when the pulse oximetry oxygen saturation was <90% or transcutaneous carbon dioxide was >80 mm Hg. In total, 27 patients were included in the final analysis. Median (interquartile range) of pulse oximetry and transcutaneous carbon dioxide were 100% (99%-100%) and 58.4 mm Hg (51.4-70.3 mm Hg), respectively. Altogether, 9 (33.3%) patients needed rescue ventilation during anesthesia. Of these, 7 patients (25.9%) developed oxygen desaturation (<90%) and 2 patients (7.4%) developed hypercarbia. Patients who required rescue ventilation were significantly younger (8.2 vs 28.8 months, P = .02) and required a longer anesthesia time (55.7 vs 41.0 minutes, P = .04) than those who did not. In conclusion, High-flow nasal oxygen is an alternative technique to maintain oxygenation in children undergoing airway surgeries. However, younger age and longer anesthesia time are significant risk factors leading to the requirement of rescue ventilation in these patients. Further studies with large sample size are required for clinical application of these techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identifying the cricothyroid membrane is an essential technical skill for front-of-neck access procedures. AIMS This study evaluated the usefulness of cricothyroid membrane identification in pediatric patients using ultrasonography by anesthesiology trainees without experience in airway ultrasound and collected anatomical data on the cricothyroid membrane and its surrounding airway structures in children. METHODS This prospective observational study included children aged <18 years scheduled to undergo general anesthesia and anesthesiology trainees who identified the cricothyroid membrane in five sequential anesthetized patients using ultrasonography. A pediatric anesthesiologist confirmed the accuracy of the identified cricothyroid membrane and recorded the performance time. The primary aims were the cricothyroid membrane identification success rate and performance time. The secondary aims were the characterization of the cricothyroid membrane and its surrounding structures. RESULTS Overall, 150 pediatric patients and 30 anesthesiology trainees were analyzed. The cricothyroid membrane identification success rate using ultrasonography was 100% in all the attempts using a transverse approach. The mean (standard deviation) performance time was 27.2 (18.6) s and 31.0 (23.8) s using the transverse and longitudinal approaches, respectively. The performance time decreased by 3.1 (p = .003, 95% confidence interval [CI] = -5.1--1.0) and 5.2 (p = .007, 95% CI = -8.9--1.4) seconds per increase in number of attempts with the transverse and longitudinal approaches, respectively. The cricothyroid membrane length was mostly correlated with the patients' height (r = .75, p < .001), and the blood vessels surrounding the cricothyroid membrane were observed in 95.9% of the patients. CONCLUSIONS Anesthesiology trainees without experience in airway ultrasound successfully identified the cricothyroid membrane in pediatric patients using ultrasonography after a brief training period. Further research is required as the identification of a structure does not predict the success of the actual procedure, particularly if done in an emergency situation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the relationship between hormone replacement therapy (HRT) types and breast cancer (BC) incidence in postmenopausal women in Korea. METHODS The nested case-control study used data from the National Health Insurance Service database. Among the women aged ≥50 years who menopaused between 2004 and 2007, BC incidence up to 2017 was analyzed in 36,446 women using or having used HRT for >1 year and in 36,446 women who did not use any HRT for more than 1 year. HRT types and duration were classified into three categories. RESULTS BC risk (BCR) decreased with tibolone use for all ages. With HRT initiation in women aged ≥50 years, BCR was lower with tibolone and estrogen-progestogen therapy. HRT for <3 years showed lower BCR with tibolone, while higher BCR was observed with estrogen-only therapy. BCR was lower in women of all ages on HRT for >5 years than in the control group. CONCLUSIONS For women in their 50s, tibolone use lowers BCR; for all ages, the use of any HRT for >5 years showed lower BCR in Korea. These divergent results from western countries could be associated with the specific characteristics of BC in Korea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative hypercapnia and hypocapnia are common during pediatric anesthesia, and the cerebral blood flow and intracranial pressure may be affected by the partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide. Transorbital ultrasound measurement of the optic nerve sheath diameter is a simple and non-invasive method for intracranial pressure assessment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of end-tidal carbon dioxide (ET CO2 ) on optic nerve sheath diameter in a healthy anesthetized pediatric population. METHODS Pediatric patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia and mechanical ventilation in the supine position were enrolled and divided into four subgroups; age <2 years, 2-6 years, 6-12 years, and 12-18 years. Mechanical ventilation was adjusted to achieve target ET CO2 levels in a randomized sequence (40-35-45-40 mmHg or 40-45-35-40 mmHg). Three minutes after reaching each target ET CO2 level, transorbital ultrasound images of optic nerve sheath diameter were obtained and analyzed. The primary outcome was the optic nerve sheath diameter at each ET CO2 level. RESULTS Sixty-four pediatric patients were enrolled and analyzed. At ET CO2 = 40 mmHg, the optic nerve sheath diameter was 5.6 ± 0.6 mm, 6.4 ± 0.5 mm, 6.8 ± 0.6 mm, and 7.1 ± 0.5 mm in children aged <2 years, 2-6 years, 6-12 years, and 12-18 years, respectively. The overall percent decreases in the optic nerve sheath diameter was -5.6 ± -4.3% (95% CI; -6.7 to -4.5%) at ET CO2 = 35 mmHg while the overall percent increases of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) was 4.9 ± 5.1% (95% CI; 3.6 to 6.1%) at ET CO2 = 45 mmHg compared with those at ET CO2 = 40 mmHg. Spearman rank correlation analysis indicated that there were weak to moderate correlation between ET CO2 and the optic nerve sheath diameter (correlation coefficient [p-value] = .355 [.004], .318 [.014], .373 [<.001], and .420 [<.001] in children aged <2 years, 2-6 years, 6-12 years, and 12-18 years, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The optic nerve sheath diameter measured by transorbital ultrasound showed rapid reactivity from ET CO2 35 to 45 mmHg in healthy pediatric patients under inhalation general anesthesia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The role of liver compression in predicting fluid responsiveness in children with a single ventricle has never been evaluated. The purpose of this study was to assess whether blood pressure changes during liver compression predict fluid responsiveness in children with single ventricle physiology. METHODS This prospective, interventional study included children aged 3 months to 5 years who underwent surgery for bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt or extracardiac Fontan operation. Before fluid loading, the right upper abdomen was compressed at 30 mmHg for 10 s, and changes in the blood pressure waves were recorded before administering 10 ml kg-1 of crystalloid solution. Systolic arterial pressure, diastolic arterial pressure, central venous pressure, pleth variability index, respiratory variation in aortic blood flow peak velocity, and stroke volume were measured before and after fluid loading. A volume responder was defined as a patient with >15% increase in stroke volume index. RESULTS Thirty patients underwent bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (15 responders and 15 non-responders), and 32 underwent Fontan surgery (17 responders and 15 non-responders). In children with bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt, Δsystolic arterial pressure > 8 mmHg (sensitivity 76.9% and specificity 93.3%), Δdiastolic arterial pressure > 7 mmHg (sensitivity 69.2% and specificity 93.3%), and Δmean arterial pressure > 7 mmHg (sensitivity 69.2% and specificity 100%) during liver compression predicted fluid responsiveness. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves of Δsystolic arterial pressure, Δdiastolic arterial pressure, and Δmean arterial pressure were 0.928, 0.859, and 0.874 (all p < .001). In children who underwent Fontan surgery, only Δsystolic arterial pressure > 16 mmHg was predictive of fluid responsiveness (sensitivity of 41.2% and specificity of 100%), with the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves curve of 0.786 (p < .001). Pleth variability index and respiratory variation in aortic blood flow peak velocity had no predictive value for fluid responsiveness after both types of surgeries. DISCUSSION In BCPS patients, liver compression increases the inferior vena cava flow which directly leads to an increase in preload. On the other hand, blood flow from the liver drains directly into the pulmonary arteries in Fontan circulation. Because of this characteristics for preload determination, the clinical application of liver compression to monitor hemodynamic changes might be more useful in patients with bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt than those with Fontan circulation. CONCLUSION Increase in blood pressure induced by liver compression is predictive of fluid responsiveness in children with single ventricle physiology.

Abstract
Background Infants undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass are vulnerable to postoperative neurodevelopmental delays. Dexmedetomidine has been shown to have protective effects on the heart, kidneys, and brain in animals and adults undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. We hypothesized that dexmedetomidine would have a neuroprotective effect on infants undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass and planned a prospective randomized controlled trial with postoperative neurodevelopment measurements. Methods This is a single-center, prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial with 1:1 allocation. A cohort of 160 infants undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass will be enrolled. After induction, dexmedetomidine will be infused with a loading dose of 1 μg/kg and a maintenance dose of 0.5 μg/kg/h or the same amount of normal saline will be administered. Upon initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass, an additional dose of dexmedetomidine (0.01 μg/cardiopulmonary priming volume) will be mixed with the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit. The primary outcome will be the proportion of infants who score lower than 85 in any of the cognitive, language, or motor Bayley scales of infant development-III tests 1 year after the surgery. Other feasible outcome measures will include differences in plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein, troponin I, interleukin-6, urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, and perioperative major adverse events. The results of the Bayley scales of infant development-III test from the study group and the control group will be compared using a chi-squared test under intention-to-treat analysis. A generalized estimating equation will be used to analyze repeated measurements over time. Discussion This study will enable us to assess whether the use of dexmedetomidine can alter the early neurodevelopmental outcome in infants undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and also estimate effects of dexmedetomidine on other organs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative central venous catheters are required but may be associated with various complications. AIMS The purpose of our study was to assess the incidence and perioperative risk factors for catheter-related internal jugular vein thrombosis in pediatric surgical patients. METHODS This prospective observational study included children under 6 years of age who were scheduled to undergo central venous catheterization of the right internal jugular vein under general anesthesia. A central venous catheter was inserted under real-time ultrasound guidance. An investigator examined for thrombosis using ultrasonography at predetermined time points. The primary aim was the incidence of catheter-related thrombosis from insertion until the 5th day postoperatively or the removal of the central venous catheter. The secondary aim was the determination of the risk factors for thrombosis. RESULTS Eighty patients completed the study. Internal jugular vein thrombi were found in 31 patients (38.8%, 95% CI 28.0-49.4). On multiple logistic regression analyses, the number of insertion attempts was the only influencing factor for catheter-related thrombosis (p < .001). More than two insertion attempts increased the risk of thrombosis (odds ratio 5.6; 95% CI 1.7 - 18.7, p = .004). Anesthesia time (p = .017; mean difference 166.4 min; 95% CI 55.7-277.1), intraoperative red blood cell transfusion (p = .001; median difference 21.1 ml kg-1 ; 95% CI 6.6-34.4), and intensive care unit stay (p = .001; median difference 100.0 h; 95% CI 48-311) differed between patients with transient thrombosis and those with thrombosis lasting for more than 3 days. CONCLUSION Internal jugular vein thrombosis was frequently detected by ultrasound following central venous catheterization in pediatric surgical patients. Multiple insertion attempts may be associated with the incidence of thrombosis. The clinical relevance of thrombi detected via ultrasound surveillance has not been determined.

Abstract
Bacteria and archaea use the CRISPR-Cas system to fend off invasions of bacteriophages and foreign plasmids. In response, bacteriophages encode anti-CRISPR (Acr) proteins that potently inhibit host Cas proteins to suppress CRISPR-mediated immunity. AcrIE4-F7, which was isolated from Pseudomonas citronellolis, is a fused form of AcrIE4 and AcrIF7 that inhibits both type I-E and type I-F CRISPR-Cas systems. Here, we determined the structure of AcrIE4-F7 and identified its Cas target proteins. The N-terminal AcrIE4 domain adopts a novel α-helical fold that targets the PAM interaction site of the type I-E Cas8e subunit. The C-terminal AcrIF7 domain exhibits an αβ fold like native AcrIF7, which disables target DNA recognition by the PAM interaction site in the type I-F Cas8f subunit. The two Acr domains are connected by a flexible linker that allows prompt docking onto their cognate Cas8 targets. Conserved negative charges in each Acr domain are required for interaction with their Cas8 targets. Our results illustrate a common mechanism by which AcrIE4-F7 inhibits divergent CRISPR-Cas types.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We describe the prevalence, thromboembolic risk factors, and neurologic outcomes in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and arterial ischemic stroke (AIS). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of children with CHD and AIS from 2000 to 2016. Demographics, procedural and postprocedural data, neuroimaging findings, details of antithrombotic treatment, and neurological status at last follow up were evaluated. RESULTS Patients with cyanotic CHD accounted for 24 of 30 cases with AIS. The majority of AIS (70%) was procedure related, and the mean time from procedure to diagnosis of stroke was 9.7 (range, 1-30) days. At the time of AIS, 14 (46.7%) patients revealed coexistence of additional thromboembolic causes of AIS. Three patients (10.0%) experienced recurrent AIS and six patients (20.0%) were diagnosed with post-stroke epilepsy. The unfavorable outcomes were found in 13 patients (43.3%), including four deaths. The unfavorable outcome was significantly associated with the main branch involvement of middle cerebral artery (OR = 10.296, 95% CI = 1.335-79.439) and hemorrhagic transformation (OR = 16.264, 95% CI = 1.359-194.690). CONCLUSIONS Additional thromboembolic risk factors such as systemic or cardiac thrombus, arrhythmia, and surgical procedures for cyanotic CHD were found in patients with CHD and AIS. The main branch involvement of middle cerebral artery and hemorrhagic transformation were significant predictors of unfavorable outcomes. Further studies are required to identify the target for stroke prevention and develop better prophylactic strategies to minimize AIS in patients with CHD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Data on the effects of direct particulate matter (PM) exposure on the eyes and the nose are limited. Here, an interleukin (IL)-17/neutrophil-dominant ovalbumin (OVA)/polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (Poly(I:C)) mouse model was used to evaluate the effect of different-sized titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles on the eyes and the nose. We also examined whether IL-17-neutralizing antibody (IL-17Ab) treatment could reverse TiO2 effects. METHODS The nasal cavities and conjunctival sacs of each mouse were challenged with OVA and Poly(I:C) to induce neutrophil-dominant inflammation and then exposed to micro- and nano-TiO2. Subsequently, IL-17Ab was administered to investigate the role of IL-17 and inflammatory parameters. RESULTS Micro- and nano-TiO2 resulted in significant decreases in tear-break-up time and increases in corneal damage. Airborne micro-TiO2 also increased nasal rubbing and sneezing counts compared with the OVA/Poly(I:C). Micro-TiO2 exposure increased infiltration of neutrophils and IL-17A+ cells in the conjunctival tissues and the nasal mucosae. In addition, these increased symptoms and inflammation in the eyes and the nose by micro-TiO2 exposure were inhibited by the IL-17Ab, suggesting IL-17 dependency. CONCLUSIONS TiO2 aggravated IL-17-induced eye and nose inflammation and the IL-17Ab alleviated inflammation in the OVA/Poly(I:C) mouse model. These results may help develop a therapeutic modality for PM exposure and provide evidence for PM-associated diseases.

Abstract
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) has traditionally been used as a treatment for inflammatory diseases in the Asian region. Recently, anti-inflammatory effects of steamed ginger extract (GGE03) have been reported, but its association with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-induced gastritis has not been investigated. The purpose of this study was to assess the anti-inflammatory activity of GGE03 in H. pylori-infected gastric epithelial cells. Our studies revealed that the GGE03 suppressed the growth of H. pylori. GGE03 markedly reduced the expression of the H. pylori-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-8, TNF-α, IL-6, inducible NOS (iNOS) and IFN-γ. We also demonstrated that GGE03 treatment inhibited the H. pylori-activated NF-κB signaling pathway. In addition, the treatment with GGE03 significantly attenuated nitric oxide production and myeloperoxidase activity in H. pylori-infected gastric epithelial cells. These anti-inflammatory effects of GGE03 were more effective than ginger extract. Finally, we investigated the minimum effective concentration of GGE03 to inhibit H. pylori-induced inflammation. Our findings suggest that GGE03 not only inhibits the growth of H. pylori, but also attenuates H. pylori-induced inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND TOFscan is a three-dimensional acceleromyography neuromuscular monitoring device that does not require initial calibration before muscle relaxant injection. This study aimed to compare TOFscan with TOF-Watch SX, the currently widely accepted uni-dimensional acceleromyography, for use among the pediatric population. We aimed to assess the agreement between TOFscan with TOF-Watch SX in the pediatric population's neuromuscular recovery. METHODS A total of 35 children aged 6-12 years were enrolled. Prior to any muscle relaxant injection, TOFscan and TOF-Watch SX were applied at each opposite arm and monitoring began concurrently throughout neuromuscular recovery. Calibration was performed for TOF-Watch SX, and train-of-four values were recorded every 15 s. Agreement between the two devices was evaluated with Modified Bland-Altman analysis. RESULTS The bias between TOF-Watch SX and TOFscan were all within the 95% limits of agreement. The bias and standard deviation were smaller and the limit of agreement was narrower in the normalized group than in the non-normalized group [normalized bias -0.002 (95% CI, -0.013 to 0.010), standard deviation (SD) 0.111 vs non-normalized bias 0.010 (95% CI, -0.003 to 0.0236), SD 0.127]. CONCLUSIONS TOFscan reliably demonstrated lack of bias and good concordance with TOF-Watch SX throughout the neuromuscular recovery, especially when normalized. Despite technical limitations, the two devices were unbiased along the path of spontaneous and pharmacological reversal in pediatric patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03775603.

Abstract
A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) method that shares the same frequency band can efficiently increase radar performance. An essential element of a MIMO radar is the orthogonality of the waveform. Typically, orthogonality is obtained by spreading different signals into divided domains such as in time-domain multiplexing, frequency-domain multiplexing, and code domain multiplexing. This paper proposes a method of spreading the interference signals outside the range bins of interest for pulse doppler radars. This is achieved by changing the pulse repetition frequency under certain constraints, and an additional gain can be obtained by doppler processing. This method is very effective for improving the angular accuracy of the MIMO radar for a small number of air targets, although it may have limitations in use for many targets or in high clutter environments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data exist regarding optimal intraoperative ventilation strategies for the paediatric population. This study aimed to determine the optimal combination of PEEP and tidal volume (VT) based on intratidal compliance profiles in healthy young children undergoing general anaesthesia. METHODS During anaesthesia, infants (1 month-1 yr), toddlers (1-3 yr), and children (3-6 yr) were assigned serially to four ventilator settings: PEEP 8 cm H2O/VT 8 ml kg-1 (PEEP8/VT8), PEEP 10 cm H2O/VT 5 ml kg-1 (PEEP10/VT5), PEEP 10 cm H2O/VT 8 ml kg-1 (PEEP10/VT8), and PEEP 12 cm H2O/VT 5 ml kg-1 (PEEP12/VT5). The primary outcome was intratidal compliance profile, classified at each ventilator setting as horizontal (indicative of optimal alveolar ventilatory conditions), increasing, decreasing, or combinations of increasing/decreasing/horizontal compliance. Secondary outcomes were peak inspiratory, plateau, and driving pressures. RESULTS Intratidal compliance was measured in 15 infants, 13 toddlers, and 15 children (15/43 [35%] females). A horizontal compliance profile was most frequently observed with PEEP10/VT5 (60.5%), compared with PEEP10/VT8, PEEP8/VT8, and PEEP12/VT5 (23.3-34.9%; P<0.001). Decreasing compliance profiles were most frequent when VT increased to 8 ml kg-1, PEEP increased to 12 cm H2O, or both. Plateau airway pressures were lower at PEEP8/VT8 (16.9 cm H2O [2.2]) and PEEP10/VT5 (16.7 cm H2O [1.7]), compared with PEEP10/VT8 (19.5 cm H2O [2.1]) and PEEP12/VT5 (19.0 cm H2O [2.0]; P<0.001). Driving pressure was lowest with PEEP10/VT5 (4.6 cm H2O), compared with other combinations (7.0 cm H2O [2.0]-9.5 cm H2O [2.1]; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS VT 5 ml kg-1 combined with 10 cm H2O PEEP may reduce atelectasis and overdistension, and minimise driving pressure in the majority of mechanically ventilated children <6 yr. The effect of these PEEP and VT settings on postoperative pulmonary complications in children undergoing surgery requires further study. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT04633720.

Abstract
The first total syntheses of isocorniculatolide B, corniculatolide B, and corniculatolide C, consisting of isomeric corniculatolide skeletons, have been accomplished in a divergent manner. The key features of the synthesis involve the construction of diaryl ether linkages by nucleophilic aromatic substitution, installation of a C14-substituted alkyl side chain via a sequence of Baeyer-Villiger reaction and Claisen rearrangement, and efficient construction of corniculatolide and isocorniculatolide frameworks, including 17-membered (exterior) macrolactone skeletons from a versatile diaryl ether intermediate by Mitsunobu macrolactonization. Moreover, we prepared the structural congeners of isomeric corniculatolides via diverted total synthesis approach including desmethyl analogues and related dimeric macrolides. The anti-inflammatory activities of the synthesized natural products, analogues and synthetic intermediates were also investigated. In particular, corniculatolide B significantly inhibited the protein expression of COX-2 and the mRNA expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 by inhibiting of NF-κB signaling in intestinal epithelial cells induced by lipopolysaccharide treatment. It also significantly inhibited the promoter activity and the phosphorylation of subunits p50 and p65 of NF-κB to the same extent as Bay 11-7082, a potent IκB kinase inhibitor. These results suggest that corniculatolide B might have therapeutic potential in inflammatory bowel disease via NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a notifiable contagious disease of cloven-hoofed mammals. A high potency vaccine that stimulates the host immune response is the foremost strategy used to prevent disease persistence in endemic regions. FMD vaccines comprise inactivated virus antigens whose immunogenicity is potentiated by immunogenic adjuvants. Oil-based adjuvants have clear advantages over traditional adjuvant vaccines; however, there is potential to develop novel adjuvants to increase the potency of FMD vaccines. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a novel water-in-oil emulsion, called CAvant®SOE, as a novel vaccine adjuvant for use with inactivated FMD vaccines. In this study, we found that inactivated A22 Iraq virus plus CAvant®SOE (iA22 Iraq-CAvant®SOE) induced effective antigen-specific humoral (IgG, IgG1, and IgG2a) and cell-mediated immune responses (IFN-γ and IL-4) in mice. Immunization of pigs with a single dose of iA22 Iraq-CAvant®SOE also elicited effective protection, with no detectable clinical symptoms against challenge with heterologous A/SKR/GP/2018 FMDV. Levels of protection are strongly in line with vaccine-induced neutralizing antibody titers. Collectively, these results indicate that CAvant®SOE-adjuvanted vaccine is a promising candidate for control of FMD in pigs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of hypotension on administration of intravenous propofol is common and independently associated with adverse outcomes. Identifying patients with a high risk for anesthesia-induced hypotension may help anesthesiologists prepare for such an event. AIM The authors hypothesized that propofol-induced hypotension is predictable by variables related to fluid responsiveness and investigated such variables to determine the factors which can predict hypotensive events. METHODS Patients 3-6 years of age who underwent general were included. Intravenous midazolam 0.1 mg kg-1 was administered as premedication, and preoperative noninvasive blood pressure, heart rate, perfusion index, pleth variability index, and respiratory variation of pulse oximetry plethysmographic waveform were measured. Intravenous propofol 2.5 mg kg-1 was given, and blood pressure was measured 5 times at 1-min intervals. Subjects with significant hypotension (mean blood pressure decrease ≥20%) were allocated to the hypotensive group; those without significant hypotension were allocated to the relatively normotensive group. RESULTS Of 77 patients, 50 (64.9%) developed significant hypotension. Patients in the hypotensive group exhibited significantly higher respiratory variation of pulse oximetry plethysmographic waveform (mean difference 11 [3.3] [95% confidence interval 4.9-18.1]; p = .001) and higher pleth variability index (mean difference 7.1 [2.8] [95% confidence interval 1.6-12.6]; p = .013) than the normotensive group. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for respiratory variation of pulse oximetry plethysmographic waveform and pleth variability index were 0.722 and 0.649, respectively. CONCLUSION High preoperative respiratory variation of pulse oximetry plethysmographic waveform and pleth variability index were both independently associated with propofol-induced hypotension in children.

Abstract
Background Pediatric patients with moyamoya disease are vulnerable to ischemic attacks following physical or emotional stress, such as those experienced during blood sampling. A central venous catheter might be beneficial for blood sampling, and a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is a considerable option for central venous access. However, PICC insertion during anesthetic management is relatively rare. Case Thirty cases of ultrasound-guided PICC insertion were performed in children undergoing surgery for moyamoya disease after anesthetic induction. Positioning was successful in 22 cases, and 5 were malpositioned. In three cases, the peripheral insertion failed. Adjustment of the insertion depth was performed in nine cases. No complications related to catheterization were observed during the procedure or the catheter indwelling period. Conclusions We report the successful use of PICC in children undergoing surgery for moyamoya disease with a considerable success rate and low incidence of malpositioning or complications.
