Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) as maintenance treatment for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), a comparative analysis of clinical events of interest (CEIs) of different PARPi is scarce. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the safety of different PARPi in patients with EOC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Through analyzing the Korean National Health Insurance Service from January 2009 to January 2022, this study involved BRCA-mutated, platinum-sensitive patients with EOC treated with olaparib (tablet), niraparib, and olaparib (capsule) as first-line or second-line maintenance treatment. CEIs were identified using International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD) 9/10 codes, with additional outcomes being dose modification and persistence. RESULTS In the first-line maintenance treatment [118 niraparib, 104 olaparib (tablet) patients], no significant differences were noted in CEIs, dose reduction, or 6-month discontinuation rate. For second-line maintenance treatment [303 niraparib, 126 olaparib (tablet), and 675 olaparib (capsule) patients], niraparib was associated with a higher risk of hematologic CEIs, particularly anemia, compared with olaparib (tablet) (0.51 [0.26-0.98] and 0.09 [0.01-0.74], respectively), and higher rate of discontinuation rate at 6 months. Of note, patients over 60 years old showed an increased risk of CEIs with niraparib, as indicated by the hazard ratio divergence in restricted cubic spline plots. CONCLUSIONS No differences were observed among the PARPi during first-line maintenance treatment. However, in the second-line maintenance treatment, significant differences were observed in the risk of experiencing CEIs, dose alteration possibilities, and discontinuation of PARPi between niraparib and olaparib (tablets). Moreover, our findings suggest that an age of 60 years may be a critical factor in selecting PARPi to reduce CEI incidence.

Abstract
In the 2023 series, we summarized the major clinical research advances in gynecologic oncology based on communications at the conference of Asian Society of Gynecologic Oncology Review Course. The review consisted of 1) Endometrial cancer: immune checkpoint inhibitor, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), selective inhibitor of nuclear export, CDK4/6 inhibitors WEE1 inhibitor, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. 2) Cervical cancer: surgery in low-risk early-stage cervical cancer, therapy for locally advanced stage and advanced, metastatic, or recurrent setting; and 3) Ovarian cancer: immunotherapy, triplet therapies using immune checkpoint inhibitors along with antiangiogenic agents and PARP inhibitors, and ADCs. In 2023, the field of endometrial cancer treatment witnessed a landmark year, marked by several practice-changing outcomes with immune checkpoint inhibitors and the reliable efficacy of PARP inhibitors and ADCs.

Abstract
Background Venous thrombosis associated with the use of oral contraceptives (OCs) occurs mostly in the deep veins of the lower extremity. A lesion of the upper extremity is rare, and the majority of thrombotic events that occur in the superficial vein of the upper extremity are caused by intravenous catheters. We present a rare case of superficial venous thrombus on the upper extremity in a woman with a history of long-term OC use. Case presentation A 35-year-old woman, with an 8-year history of OC use, presented with a 2-year history of painfully palpable masses on her left forearm. The lesion mimicking soft tissue mass was confirmed to be superficial venous thrombi through ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. Conservative treatment including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, vasoprotective agents, and aspirin was prescribed. Through consultation with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, it was confirmed that the current OCs could be discontinued, and the pain was almost relieved after conservative treatment. Conclusions If thrombotic events occur in the superficial vein of the upper extremity without intravenous catheters, detailed medical history taking and the possibility of OCs should be considered.

Abstract
This is the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) comprehensive guideline on the application of endovascular interventional radiological procedures in the treatment of variceal bleeding, which supplements Risk Stratification and Management of Portal Hypertensive Bleeding in Cirrhosis by describing recent advances in invasive surgery. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) dates back to the 80s of the 20th century, and over the past few years, several new technical improvements have been made to TIPS stents. Another major treatment for gastric variceal bleeding in North America is the use of different forms of retrograde transvenous embolization. This guideline is intended to provide healthcare professionals with an in-depth understanding of the use of TIPS and/or variceal embolization/occlusion in the treatment of variceal bleeding, with the goal of facilitating multidisciplinary discussions on treatment strategies among hepatologists, gastroenterologists, interventional radiologists, and surgeons. Additionally, it provides a data-based approach to the endovascular treatment of variceal bleeding. However, it differs from the AASLD guidelines by being supported by a systematic review of the literature, a formal rating of the quality of the evidence, and the strength of the recommendations. Consequently, this guideline was developed by a consensus of an expert panel under the supervision of the AASLD Practice Guidelines Committee and provides guidance statements based on a comprehensive review and analysis of the literature on the relevant topic. Importantly, the AASLD Practice Guidelines Committee selected this topic because, for the most part, there are not a sufficient number of randomized controlled trials on this topic to provide meaningful systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

Abstract
The vacuolar ATPase H+ transporting V1 subunit B1 (ATP6V1B1) belongs to the family of ATP6Vs, which functions to transport hydrogen ions. The expression of ATP6V1B1 and associated clinicopathological features have been linked to various cancers; however, its role in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has remained to be explored. The present study aimed to unveil the function, molecular mechanisms and clinical significance of ATP6V1B1 in EOC. The mRNA levels of ATP6V1 subunits A, B1 and B2 in EOC tissues were determined using data from the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis database and RNA sequencing. Protein levels of ATP6V1B1 were evaluated through immunohistochemistry staining of EOC, borderline, benign and normal epithelial tissues. The association between ATP6V1B1 expression and clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients with EOC was analyzed. Furthermore, the biological role of ATP6V1B1 in ovarian cancer cell lines was also assessed. RNA sequencing and public dataset analyses revealed elevated ATP6V1B1 mRNA levels in EOCs. High ATP6V1B1 protein levels were also observed in EOC compared with those of borderline and benign tumors and nonadjacent normal epithelial tissues. High ATP6V1B1 expression was associated with the serous cell type, advanced International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage, high/advanced tumor grade, elevated serum cancer antigen 125 levels and platinum resistance (P<0.001, P<0.001, P=0.035, P=0.029 and P=0.011, respectively). High expression levels of ATP6V1B1 were also associated with poor overall and disease‑free survival (P<0.001). Knockdown of ATP6V1B1 decreased cancer cell proliferation and colony‑forming abilities (P<0.001) in vitro by inducing cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase. Significant upregulation of ATP6V1B1 was observed in EOC and the prognostic significance and association with chemotherapy resistance of ATP6V1B1 in EOC was demonstrated, rendering it an EOC‑related biomarker for prognostic evaluation and chemotherapy resistance, as well as a potential therapeutic target for patients with EOC.

Abstract
Hormones may be key factors driving cancer development, and epidemiological findings suggest that steroid hormones play a crucial role in ovarian tumorigenesis. We demonstrated that high glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression is associated with a poor prognosis of epithelial ovarian cancer. Recent studies have shown that the GR affects β-arrestin expression, and vice versa. Hence, we assessed the clinical significance of β-arrestin expression in ovarian cancer and determined whether β-arrestin and the GR synergistically have clinical significance and value as prognostic factors. We evaluated the expression of β-arrestins 1 and 2 and the GR in 169 patients with primary epithelial ovarian cancer using immunohistochemistry. The staining intensity was graded on a scale of 0-4 and multiplied by the percentage of positive cells. We divided the samples into two categories based on the expression levels. β-arrestin 1 and GR expression showed a moderate correlation, whereas β-arrestin 2 and GR expression did not demonstrate any correlation. Patients with high β-arrestin 1 and 2 expression exhibited improved survival rates, whereas patients with low GR expression showed a better survival rate. Patients with high β-arrestin 1 and low GR levels had the best prognosis among all groups. β-arrestin is highly expressed in ovarian cancer, suggesting its potential as a diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker. The combination of β-arrestin and GR demonstrated greater predictive prognostic power than GR expression alone, implicating another possible role in prognostication.

Abstract
What are the new contents of the guideline since 2010?A.Patients with primary and non-primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are included in these guidelines for the diagnosis and management of cholangiocarcinoma.B.Define "related stricture" as any biliary or hepatic duct stricture accompanied by the signs or symptoms of obstructive cholestasis and/or bacterial cholangitis.C.Patients who have had an inconclusive report from MRI and cholangiopancreatography should be reexamined by high-quality MRI/cholangiopancreatography for diagnostic purposes. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography should be avoided for the diagnosis of PSC.D. Patients with PSC and unknown inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) should undergo diagnostic colonoscopic histological sampling, with follow-up examination every five years until IBD is detected.E. PSC patients with IBD should begin colon cancer monitoring at 15 years of age.F. Individual incidence rates should be interpreted with caution when using the new clinical risk tool for PSC for risk stratification.G. All patients with PSC should be considered for clinical trials; however, if ursodeoxycholic acid (13-23 mg/kg/day) is well tolerated and after 12 months of treatment, alkaline phosphatase (γ- Glutamyltransferase in children) and/or symptoms are significantly improved, it can be considered to continue to be used.H. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with cholangiocytology brushing and fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis should be performed on all patients suspected of having hilar or distal cholangiocarcinoma.I.Patients with PSC and recurrent cholangitis are now included in the new unified network organ sharing policy for the end-stage liver disease model standard.J. Liver transplantation is recommended after neoadjuvant therapy for patients with unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma with diameter < 3 cm or combined with PSC and no intrahepatic (extrahepatic) metastases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Failure to respond to treatment in epithelial ovarian cancer can often be attributed to platinum-based chemotherapy resistance. However, the possible mechanisms or candidate biomarkers associated with platinum resistance are yet to be elucidated, even though many researchers have performed related studies. METHODS We performed RNA sequencing of clinical specimens obtained from patients with platinum-sensitive or resistant EOC. Furthermore, various bioinformatics approaches, including spatial analysis of functional enrichment, were used to identify key regulators and associated underlying mechanisms of platinum resistance in EOC. RESULTS Through RNA-sequencing, we identified 263 differentially expressed genes, 98 were upregulated and 165 were downregulated, and subjected them to Gene Oncology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses, which were characterized to the traditional platinum-resistant characteristics. Subsequently, the gene interaction network and module analysis by SAFE demonstrated protein kinase C and casein kinase substrate in neurons 3 (PACSIN3) as the only upregulated hub gene, and neurotensin (NTS) and KIAA0319 as downregulated hub genes in platinum-resistant EOC. We selected PACSIN3 for further analysis as it has not been studied in relation to response to platinum-based chemotherapy. PACSIN3 was significantly upregulated in ovarian cancer cells as compared to iHOSE cells. In addition, cisplatin-induced apoptosis was measured in PACSIN3 knockout OVCA433 and BRCA-mutated EOC cell line, SNU251, by a FACS-based Annexin-V/PI double staining assay, which revealed a significant increase in apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, this study presents PACSIN3 as a promising predictive biomarker associated with platinum resistance, especially in BRCA-mutated epithelial ovarian cancers.

Abstract
NANOG engages with tumour initiation and metastasis by regulating the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). However, its role in association with pAMPKα, and its clinical significance in EOC have not been elucidated even though AMPK is known to degrade NANOG in various human cancers. Hence, we investigated the role of pAMPKα and its association with NANOG as potential prognostic biomarkers in EOC. Both NANOG and pAMPKα expression were significantly overexpressed in EOCs comparing nonadjacent normal epithelial tissues, benign tissues, and borderline tumours. NANOG overexpression was significantly associated with poor disease‐free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), whereas pAMPKα overexpression was associated with good DFS and OS. Importantly, multivariate analysis revealed that the combination of high NANOG and low pAMPKα expression was a poor independent prognostic factor for DFS and was associated with platinum resistance. In ovarian cancer cell lines, siRNA‐mediated NANOG knockdown diminished migration and invasion properties by regulating the EMT process via the AMPK/mTOR signalling pathway. Furthermore, treatment with AMPK activator suppressed expression of stemness factors such as NANOG, Oct4 and Sox2. Collectively, these findings established that the combination of high NANOG and low pAMPKα expression was associated with EOC progression and platinum resistance, suggesting a potential prognostic biomarker for clinical management in EOC patients.

Abstract
Biliary liver diseases such as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and primary biliary cholangitis seriously endanger the health of patients. Interventional treatments such as hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt have the advantages of less surgical trauma, faster recovery, and lower cost than conventional internal medicine and surgical treatments. Thus, they are widely used in biliary liver diseases. This article reviews the interventional treatment of common biliary liver diseases, in an attempt to provide reference for the corresponding clinical diagnosis, treatment and research.

Abstract
Hemorrhage and thrombosis prevention and treatment in patients with cirrhosis faces certain clinical difficulties. Therefore, this guideline is formulated to provide practical guidance on controversial topics, such as the current perspectives on hemostasis in liver disease, whether invasive procedures need to correct thrombocytopenia and coagulation abnormalities, and the necessity of thromboprophylaxis in hospitalized patients with abnormal coagulation. Many of the recommendations in the guidelines are not useful measures; however, they were stem under the oversight of an expert panel, and are widely used in clinical practice. Here, we compile and summarize the recommendations on the above topics in order to share them with readers.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is activated by synthetic glucocorticoid or endogenous cortisol which were released by the physical and psychosocial stress, and recent studies reported that it is involved in tumor initiation and metastasis in various solid cancers. However, role of GR in cervical cancer has not been elucidated yet. Therefore, here we aim to unveil the role of GR in cervical cancer with cervical cancer clinical specimen and cervical cancer cell lines. We found that overexpression of GR was associated with poor prognosis in cervical cancer patients. Also, GR knockdown in cervical cancer cell lines showed diminished proliferation, invasion and EMT properties. Besides, we found that GR was positively associated with FoxP3 expression, and combination of GR and FoxP3 overexpression revealed as more reliable biomarker for poor prognosis and poor response to chemotherapy of cervical cancer patient than GR alone. Moreover, FACS-based Annexin-V/PI double staining and cleavage of poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) showed that siGR enhanced cisplatin-induced apoptosis, which was mediated by p38 MAP kinase. Collectively, our findings established that the combination of high GR and FoxP3 was associated with cervical cancer progression and platinum resistance, suggesting a potential predictive biomarker for clinical management in patients with cervical cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Uterine mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a rare malignant tumor of the female genital tract. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed 237 endometrial carcinoma cases and investigated the clinicopathological and molecular characteristics of uterine MLA. RESULTS We found that 3.0% (7/237) of the endometrial carcinoma cases were MLAs. Compared to endometrial endometrioid carcinoma, MLA showed larger tumor size, deeper myometrial invasion, increasingly advanced-stage disease, and more frequent lymphovascular space invasion. All MLAs exhibited architectural diversity, compactly aggregated small tubules, eosinophilic intraluminal secretions, overlapped and angulated nuclei, scant cytoplasm, and presence of spindle cells. All the MLAs expressed at least two mesonephric markers. All except one MLA harbored activating Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog mutations. All patients with MLA developed postoperative metastases. MLA had the lowest progression-free survival rate among different histological types of endometrial carcinoma. CONCLUSION Uterine MLA is a highly aggressive gynecological malignancy, showing unique morphological and molecular features, frequent recurrences and metastases, as well as poor prognosis.

Abstract
e17540 Background: Mutations in breast cancer susceptibility gene type 1 and type 2 (BRCA1 and BRCA2) put women at a higher risk of developing epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). In individual carrying BRCA1 mutation has about 39-49% of the probability developing EOC in a lifetime. With BRCA2 mutations, the probability of developing EOC is about 11- 18 %. EOC patients with BRCA mutations shows an advanced histological grade compared to patients with BRCA wile type and respond better to platinum therapy, showing better survival. Patients with BRCA mutation shows better response to the platinum therapy, because in the absence of functional BRCA protein, cells fail to repair intra-strand crosslinks formed by DNA cross linking agents such as platinum drugs, leading to apoptotic cell death. However, despite the good response to platinum-based chemotherapy, EOC patients inevitably develop resistance to platinum drugs resulting in disease recurrent and is a major roadblock in a clinical management of cancer that carry BRCA mutation. Therefore, here we investigated the potential novel biomarkers with bioinformatics tools by analyzing an our own RNA sequencing. Methods: RNA sequencing data from 4 platinum sensitive BRCA mutated EOC patients and 4 Platinum resistance BRCA mutated EOC patients were analysed with various bioinformatic tools including Spatial Analysis of Functional Enrichment (SAFE) analysis, and the bioinformatic analysis result was verified with variuos ovarian cancer cell lines and public data. Results: Therefore, here we investigated the potential novel biomarkers with bioinformatics tools by analyzing an our own RNA sequencing data from 4 platinum sensitive BRCA mutated EOC patients and 4 Platinum resistance BRCA mutated EOC patients. The results of our study showed 308 total differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with 138 upregulated genes and 170 downregulated genes. By applying Spatial Analysis of Functional Enrichment (SAFE) analysis, we investigated that G2/M transition of mitotic cell cycle, MAPK cascade, double strand break repair via homologous recombination were the enriched pathways with upregulation of PABPC1, DCAF13, RAD21, PACSIN3 and downregulation of GCG11, HECW2, PSMA1. Their altered expression was verified in ovarian cancer cell lines and public database which showed the significant altered expression of PACSIN3 was observed in ovarian cancer cell lines suggesting as a potential biomarker for EOC treatment. Conclusions: Platinum resistance BRCA mutation EOC is an important issue to overcome the low survival rate for EOC patients. However, until now, there was relatively not much studies in discovring the biomarker or candidate gene of target therapy. Therefore, here we suggest the PACSIN3 as a new candidate gene for target therapy in platinum resistance BRCA mutation EOC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Cryptochrome 1 (CRY1), a core circadian gene, modulates circadian rhythm and carcinogenesis. Here, we investigated the role of CRY1 and its correlation with NANOG, a stem cell transcription factor, in cervical cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Immunohistochemistry with tissue microarray was performed to evaluate CRY1 and NANOG expression in cervical cancer tissues, and their functional roles were assessed in cervical cancer cell lines. RESULTS CRY1 or NANOG was significantly over-expressed in cervical cancer tissues. Notably, combined over-expression of CRY1 and NANOG was correlated with a significantly poor OS and DFS and showed a stronger predictive value for chemoradiation response than each single protein. Furthermore, siCRY1 induced apoptosis, decreased NANOG expression, suppressed STAT3 signalling, and activated p53 signalling in cervical cancer cell lines. CONCLUSION CRY1 and NANOG over-expression serves as a strong predictive biomarker for prognosis and chemoradiation response, and may be a new therapeutic target in patients with cervical cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Based on differences in chemosensitivity and clinical outcomes, we hypothesize that clear cell ovarian carcinoma (CCCO) displays a unique tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) compared to high grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). Microsatellite instability and ARID1DA mutations are more common in clear cell ovarian carcinoma suggesting improved outcomes with checkpoint blockade immunotherapy use. Our objective is to compare the TIME of CCCO to HGSOC using imaging mass cytometry (IMC).
Primary untreated ovarian tumors were collected under an IRB-approved protocol. Formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue sections were stained with 34 metal-tagged antibodies to detect various cell specific and immune related markers using the Fluidigm protocol. IMC data was obtained by the Fluidigm Helios CyTOF instrument utilizing the Hyperion Imaging System laser ablation module. Images from a 1mm2 area of each tissue section were processed and converted to tiff files using MCD Viewer (Fluidigm). Images were analyzed using a deep learning based data analytic pipeline beginning with cell segmentation then multiple rounds of phenotype clustering for cell type annotation. Various cell phenotypes were then measured for cell density analysis within a tumor enriched area. Spearman correlation was performed between cell densities of CCCO and HGSOC.
Samples from 51 patients were used for the study: 10 with CCCO and 41 with HGSOC. In the CCCO group, stage of disease ranged from stage I (70%) to III (10%), but all the HGSOC had stage III (92.7%) or IV (7.3%) disease (p<0.001).
Images were analyzed using 18 markers based on high signal-to-noise ratios. Following cell segmentation and phenotype clustering, 39 cell subtype clusters were identified including 6 macrophage cell subtypes, 11 T cell subtypes, and 12 tumor cell subtypes.
CCCO had a lower density of intratumoral activated CD8+ T cells (CD44+CD8a+CD45RO+) than the HGSOC (p=0.048). Tumor cell subtypes in the tumor-enriched areas differed between the two groups. CCCO had a higher density of B7-H4midKi67hi tumor cells (p=0.004), but had a lower density B7-H4hiKi67midKeratin8_18+ (p=0.027), B7-H4hiKeratin8_18+ (p=0.004), and B7-H4hiKi67midKeratin8_18+ tumor cells (p=0.007). CCCO had a lower density of CD31+CD73mid cells (p=0.034) but higher density of CD73hi (p=0.024) compared to HGSOC.
CCCO have a distinct TIME compared to HGSOC. In our cohort, despite most having stage I disease, CCCO showed features associated with poor prognosis including decreased intratumoral CD8+ T cells, higher density of a subtype of actively dividing B7-H4mid ki67hi cancer cells, and higher density of CD73hi cells. Since B7-H4 and CD73 both act as immune checkpoint inhibitors that can confer chemoresistance, therapeutic strategies to target these molecules may enhance CD8+ T cell mediated anti-tumor immune response and chemosensitivity to improve survival in patients with CCCO.

Abstract
Abstract
By examining the immune landscape in recurrent ovarian carcinoma, we can characterize the evolution of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) to understand its disease progression and response to therapy. Thus, the objective of this study is to evaluate the differences in the TIME in primary HGSOC compared to recurrent disease by utilizing imaging mass cytometry (IMC).
Treatment naive primary HGSOC along with matched first recurrence tumors from the same patient were collected under an IRB-approved protocol. Formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections were stained with 18 metal-tagged antibodies to detect various cell specific and immune related markers using the Fluidigm protocol. IMC data was obtained by the Fluidigm Helios CyTOF instrument utilizing the Hyperion Imaging System laser ablation module. Images from a 1mm2 area of each tissue section were processed and converted to tiff files using MCD Viewer (Fluidigm). Multiplex image analysis was performed with Visiopharm software, where tumor and stromal areas were separated based on presence or absence of Keratin 8/18, Collagen-I, and SMA respectively. Cells boundaries were determined by a pretrained Artificial Intelligence algorithm and phenotyped by Visiopharm unbiased autoclustering module using only the top 20% of pixel values per cell. Statistical analysis was performed using wilcoxon signed-rank test between cell densities of the primary and paired recurrent tumors.
Paired primary and recurrent HGSOC samples were assessed from 27 patients. Stage of disease ranged from I to IV, but most were stage III (81.5%). The median time to first recurrence was 28 months (IQR 34). The image analysis showed that recurrent tumors had a lower density of stromal CD8a+ (p<0.01), CD8+granzymeB+CD45RO+, (p<0.01) and CD8+granzymeB+CD44+CD45RO+ cells (p<0.01) compared to primary tumors. Both stromal and intratumoral CD20+ cells were higher in recurrent tumors (p=0.03, p<0.01). Stromal CD73+Coll-I+ cells were lower in recurrent tumors (p<0.01).
Our study demonstrates the evolution of the TIME of HGSOC from primary tumor to first recurrence. Recurrent tumors demonstrated lower stromal CD8+ T cells, specifically activated memory T cells and resting memory T cells, compared to their primary tumors, suggesting a more immunosuppressive environment. Although recurrent tumors had a higher density of CD20+ B cells, their function was not further described. These alterations propose that recurrent HGSOC demonstrates a more suppressive TIME that warrants further characterization.

Abstract
Stromal and immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) have been shown to directly affect high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) malignant phenotypes, however, how these cells interact to influence HGSC patients' survival remains largely unknown. To investigate the cell-cell communication in such a complex TME, we developed a SpatioImageOmics (SIO) pipeline that combines imaging mass cytometry (IMC), location-specific transcriptomics, and deep learning to identify the distribution of various stromal, tumor and immune cells as well as their spatial relationship in TME. The SIO pipeline automatically and accurately segments cells and extracts salient cellular features to identify biomarkers, and multiple nearest-neighbor interactions among tumor, immune, and stromal cells that coordinate to influence overall survival rates in HGSC patients. In addition, SIO integrates IMC data with microdissected tumor and stromal transcriptomes from the same patients to identify novel signaling networks, which would lead to the discovery of novel survival rate-modulating mechanisms in HGSC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) has been studied in human malignancies, but has not been studied in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We, therefore, investigated the significance of TRPV1 and correlation with phosphatase and tension homolog (PTEN) in EOC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Immunohistochemical analyses for TRPV1 and PTEN were performed using a tissue microarray. Moreover, the role of TRPV1 in cell growth was assessed in a EOC cell line. RESULTS High TRPV1 expression and the combination of high TRPV1 and low PTEN expression were an independent prognostic factor for overall survival and disease-free survival. In vitro results demonstrated that knockdown of TRPV1 was associated with decreased cell viability and colony formation. CONCLUSION There is a strong association between TRPV1 and PTEN and the combination of TRPV1 and PTEN is a strong indicator of prognostic predictor in EOC.

Abstract
For patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, the goals of chemotherapy include palliation of disease-related symptoms with minimum treatment-related side effects. However, there is currently a paucity of data regarding the initiation of palliative chemotherapy. This study aimed to compare the differences in survival rates and toxicities between patients with recurrent ovarian cancer who started palliative chemotherapy immediately versus those who received delayed chemotherapy. Through a retrospective chart review, patients who received more than three lines of chemotherapy were included. Based on the timing of third-line chemotherapy initiation, the patients were divided into two groups: delayed (DTG) and immediate (ITG) treatment groups. The chi-square test or Fisher’s exact tests, and t-test or Mann-Whitney U test were used for comparing variables, as appropriate. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. P-value of <0.05 was considered significant. Although there was no statistically significant difference, the total number of regimens and cycles was lower in the DTG than in the ITG. No differences in toxicities and survival rates were observed between the two groups. Overall, survival and toxicity did not differ significantly between the two groups. In a palliative care setting, our findings suggest that delaying the treatment had no adverse effect on survival. Despite the lack of evidence of a survival benefit with aggressive treatment, patients chose to continue chemotherapy. Because recurrent ovarian cancer is a complex condition, patients require sufficient explanation and time to fully understand the costs and benefits related to aggressive chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The prognostic role of USP10 in epithelial ovarian cancer has been studied in various human cancers. Our aim was to evaluate the clinical and pathological significance of USP10 in epithelial ovarian cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Immunohistochemical analyses of the expression of USP10 and p14ARF by using tissue microarrays were performed in 336 ovarian tumours and the data were compared with clinicopathological variables. We examined their level of DNA methylation around the putative transcriptional start site in 5' CpG islands in fresh frozen tissues and ovarian cancer cells. RESULTS Expression of USP10 and p14ARF was significantly lower in cancer tissues than in normal epithelium. Low USP10 expression and a combined USP10/p14ARF low expression were revealed to be independent prognostic factors. A high degree of methylation in USP10 and p14ARF CpG islands was found by methylation specific PCR analysis in cancer than in normal tissues and cells. CONCLUSION Decreased expression of USP10 or combined USP10/p14ARF decreased expression is a strong indicator of poor prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transcription factors forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1) and paired box 3 (PAX3) have been reported to play important roles in various cancers. However, their role in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has not been elucidated yet. Therefore, we evaluated the expression and clinical significance of FOXO1 and PAX3 in EOC. METHODS Immunohistochemical analyses of FOXO1 and PAX3 in 212 EOCs, 57 borderline ovarian tumors, 153 benign epithelial ovarian tumors, and 79 nonadjacent normal epithelial tissues were performed using tissue microarray. Various clinicopathological variables, including the survival of EOC patients, were compared. In addition, the effect of FOXO1 on cell growth was assessed in EOC cell lines. RESULTS FOXO1 and PAX3 protein expression levels were significantly higher in EOC tissues than in nonadjacent normal epithelial tissues, benign tissues, and borderline tumors (all p < 0.001). In EOC tissues, FOXO1 expression was positively correlated with PAX3 expression (Spearman's rho = 0.118, p = 0.149). Multivariate survival analysis revealed that high FOXO1 expression (hazard ratio = 2.77 [95% CI, 1.48-5.18], p = 0.001) could be an independent prognostic factor for overall survival. Most importantly, high expression of both FOXO1 and PAX3 showed a high hazard ratio (4.60 [95% CI, 2.00-10.55], p < 0.001) for overall survival. Also in vitro results demonstrated that knockdown of FOXO1 was associated with decreased cell viability, migration, and colony formation. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that high expression of FOXO1/PAX3 is an indicator of poor prognosis in EOC. Our results suggest the promising potential of FOXO1 and PAX3 as prognostic and therapeutic markers. The possible link between biological functions of FOXO1 and PAX3 in EOC warrants further studies.

Here, we evaluatedthe expression and clinical significance of FOXO1 in EOC. Methods: Immunohistochemical analyses of FOXO1 and PAX3 in 212 in EOCs, 57 borderline ovarian tumors and 153 benign epithelial ovarian tumors and 79 nonadjacent normal epithelial tissues were performed using tissue microarray analysis. The data were compared with clinicopathological variables including the survival of EOC patients. Also, the effect of FOXO1 on cell growth were assessed in EOC cell lines. Results: The expressions of FOXO1 and PAX3 protein were significantly higher in EOC tissues than in nonadjacent normal epithelial tissues, benign tissues and borderline tumors respectively (all p< 0.001). Overexpression of FOXO1 was significantly associated with poor grade ( p = 0.004). FOXO1 expression showed trend of positive correlation with that of PAX3 in EOC tissues ( Spearman’s rho0.118, p= 0.149). Multivariate survival analysis revealed that the high expression of FOXO1 (hazard ratio = 2.74 [95% CI, 1.22–13.10], p = 0.001) could be an independent prognostic factor for overall survival. Most importantly, high expression of both FOXO1 and PAX3 showed high hazard ratio (hazard ratio = 5.53 [95% CI, 2.47–12.40], p< 0.001) for overall survival. In vitro result revealed that knockdown of FOXO1 was associated decreased cell viability and migration. Conclusions: This study reveals that high expression of FOXO1/PAX3 is an indicator of poor prognosis in EOC. Our results not only suggest the promising potential of FOXO1 and PAX3 as a prognostic and survival marker, but also warrant further studies on a possible link between the biological function of FOXO1 and PAX3 of EOC.

Abstract
e14519 Background: Transcriptional factor FOXO1and PAX3 has been reported to play an imported role in human cancer, but the role in cervical cancer has not yet been clarified. Here, we evaluated the functional role of FOXO1 with cervical cancer cells and the expression together with clinical significance of FOXO1 and PAX3 among cervical lesions was investigated. Methods: In vitro assessment of cell functions by cell viably assay, cell migration and invasion assay was evaluated using FOXO1 knockdown cervical cancer cell lines. Immuno-histochemical (IHC) staining analyses of FOXO1 and PAX3 were performed with tissue microarray (TMA) consisting of 209 cervical cancers, 366 high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CIN), 130 low grade CIN and 328 matched nonadjacent normal cervical epithelial tissues. The clinical significance was investigated by comparing the data with various clinicopathologic characteristics, including survival in cervical cancer. Results: In vitro result revealed that knockdown of FOXO1 was associated decreased cell viability ( p< 0.001), migration ( p< 0.001) and invasion ( p< 0.05) supporting the oncogenic role of FOXO1 in cervical cancer. FOXO1 and PAX3 expression was significantly higher in CIN (both p< 0.001) and cancer tissue (both p< 0.001) than in normal tissue. FOXO1 expression showed significant correlation with PAX3 (Spearman’s rho = 0.377, p< 0.001) in a cervical cancer. Multivariate analysis indicates that FOXO1 expression (hazard ratio = 4.01 [95% CI, 1.22–13.10], p= 0.021) and advanced FIGO stage (hazard ratio = 3.89 [95% CI, 1.35–11.19], p= 0.012) were independent prognostic factor on overall survival. Conclusions: This study reveals the association between FOXO1 and PAX3 expression with clinicopathologic variables, including survival of cervical cancer patients. Our results not only suggest the promising potential of FOXO1 as a prognostic and survival marker, but also warrant further studies on a possible link between the biological function of FOXO1 and the pathogenesis of cervical cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Small-for-gestational age (SGA) infants should be identified before birth because of an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of fetal growth rate by gestational age on the prediction of SGA and to identify the optimal time to initiate intensive fetal monitoring to detect SGA in low-risk women. We also sought to determine which the ultrasonographic parameters that contribute substantially to the birthweight determination. METHODS This was a retrospective study of 442 healthy pregnant women with singleton pregnancies. There were 328 adequate-for-gestational age (AGA) neonates and 114 SGA infants delivered between 37+0 and 41+6 weeks of gestation. We compared the biparietal diameters (BPD), head circumferences (HC), abdominal circumferences (AC), femur lengths (FL), and estimated fetal weights (EFW) obtained on each ultrasound to determine which of these parameters was the best indicator of SGA. We created receiver operating characteristic curves, calculated the areas under the curves (AUCs), and analyzed the data using multivariable logistic regressions to assess the ultrasound screening performances and identify the best predictive factor. RESULTS Among the four ultrasonographic parameters, the AC measurement between 24+0~28+6 weeks achieved a sensitivity of 79.5% and a specificity of 71.7%, with an AUC of 0.806 in the prediction of SGA. AC showed consistently higher AUCs above 0.8 with 64~80% sensitivities as gestational age progressed. EFW measurements from 33+0~35+6 gestational weeks achieved a sensitivity of 60.6% and a specificity of 87.6%, with an AUC of 0.826. In a conditional growth model developed from the linear mixed regression, the value differences between AC and EFW in the SGA and AGA groups became even more pronounced after 33+0~35+6 weeks. CONCLUSION Healthy low-risk women with a low fetal AC after 24 weeks' gestation need to be monitored carefully for fetal growth to identify SGA infants with a risk for adverse perinatal outcomes.

Abstract
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection and is associated with the development of cervical cancer. The purpose of this report is to provide the literature evidences on selecting the HPV vaccine for national immunization program (NIP) in Korea. To complete these tasks, we reviewed domestic and foreign literature on the current status of HPV infection, efficacy and effectiveness of HPV vaccine, safety of vaccine and cost effectiveness analysis of vaccination business. Given that the median age of first sexual intercourse is continuing to fall, this may have serious implications for HPV infection and cervical cancer incidence at the age of 20s. The World Health Organization recommends that the HPV vaccination should be included in the NIP being implemented in each country. Both the bivalent and quadrivalent vaccines have a 90% or greater preventive efficacy on cervical intraepithelial lesion 2-3 and cervical cancer by the HPV 16 or HPV 18. In the future, if HPV vaccination rate as part of NIP increases, it is expected that the incidence of HPV infection, genital warts, and cervical precancerous lesions will be decreased in the vaccination age group. Therefore, in order to increase the HPV vaccination rate at this point in Korea, social consensus and efforts such as the introduction and promotion of HPV vaccine to the NIP according to appropriate cost-effectiveness analysis are required.

Abstract
PURPOSE Modulated electro-hyperthermia (mEHT), known as oncothermia, is an anticancer therapy that induces radiofrequency thermal damage to the cancer tissues. This study aimed to evaluate the potential effectiveness of mEHT as a therapeutic tool in ovarian and cervical cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used both tumor-bearing mice and ovarian and cervical OVCAR-3, SK-OV-3, HeLa and SNU-17 cancer cell lines to investigate the effects of mEHT in vivo and in vitro, respectively, and determine whether it was enhanced by cotreatment with an autophagy inhibitor. RESULTS We discovered that phosphorylation of p38, a stress-dependent kinase, was induced at the Thr180/Tyr182 residue in cancer cells exposed to mEHT. Apoptotic markers such as cleaved caspase-3 and poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) were increased in OVCAR-3 and SNU-17 cells. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis showed a significant increase in the population of sub-G1 mEHT-exposed cells, which are dying and apoptotic cells. mEHT also reduced both weight and volume of xenograft tumors in mice transplanted with ovarian and cervical cancer cells and patient-derived cancer tissues. We determined that mEHT-induced cellular damage recovery was mediated by autophagy and, therefore, expectedly, cotreatment with mEHT and 3-methyladenine (3-MA), an autophagy inhibitor, more effectively inhibited cancer cell growth than individual treatment did. CONCLUSIONS mEHT treatment alone was sufficient to inhibit cancer growth, while a combined treatment with mEHT and an autophagy inhibitor amplified this inhibition effect.

Abstract
Background Human ovarian surface epithelial (HOSE) cells are a critical cell source for ovarian cancer research; however, they are difficult to obtain and maintain under standard laboratory conditions in large quantities. The aim of this study was to generate immortalized HOSE (IHOSE) cells with maintained properties to the original cell source, thereby guaranteeing a sufficiently large cell quantity for ovarian cancer research. Methods HOSE cells isolated from four non-cancer patients and five IHOSE cell lines were established by induction of HPV-E6/E7 expression or SV40 large T antigen using a lenti-viral system. Each of IHOSE cells was confirmed to be distinct by STR profiling. RNA-sequencing was used to compare gene expression profiles in HOSE, IHOSE and ovarian cancer cells. Results RNA-sequencing results revealed a stronger linear correlation in gene expression between IHOSE and HOSE cells (R2 = 0.9288) than between IHOSE or HOSE cells and ovarian cancer cells (R2 = 0.8562 and R2 = 0.7982, respectively). The gene expression pattern of 319 differentially expressed genes revealed minimal differences between HOSE and IHOSE cells, while a strong difference between ovarian cancer cells and HOSE or IHOSE cells was observed. Furthermore, the five IHOSE cell lines displayed morphological characteristics typical of epithelial cells but showed a lower level of EpCAM, CD133 and E-cadherin, as cancer stem marker, than ovarian cancer cells. Moreover, unlike cancer cells, IHOSE cells could not form colonies in the anchorage-independent soft agar growth assay. Conclusion These findings demonstrate that five newly established IHOSE cell lines have characteristics of progenitor HOSE cells while exhibiting continuous growth, and thus, should be highly useful as control cells for ovarian cancer research.

Abstract
RATIONALE Spontaneous and repeated hepatic ruptures caused by hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets (HELLP) syndrome are uncommon but life-threatening conditions that rarely occur early in the second trimester of pregnancy. PATIENT CONCERNS We describe a patient who experienced spontaneous hepatic ruptures in the absence of hypertension during the early second trimesters of both her first and second pregnancies. DIAGNOSES A 34-year-old multiparous woman without hypertension was admitted at 21 weeks' gestation because of a spontaneous hepatic rupture with hemoperitoneum. Four years previously, the patient had undergone an exploratory laparotomy during her first pregnancy that involved the ligation of bleeders, because a hepatic capsule rupture had caused hemoperitoneum development. INTERVENTIONS Unlike the first pregnancy, she was managed nonsurgically and conservatively during the second pregnancy, and she underwent frequent laboratory analyses and magnetic resonance imaging follow-up. On day 11 of the patient's hospital admission, we decided to deliver the baby at 23 weeks' gestation, because her condition had deteriorated. OUTCOMES Non-surgical management improved the patient's outcome, and the baby was born alive, even though the pregnancy was in the early second trimester and the maternal condition was deteriorating rapidly. LESSONS HELLP syndrome without hypertension and the recurrence of an intrahepatic rupture at an extremely premature gestational age are rare. This patient's findings suggested HELLP syndrome, which was subsequently diagnosed. This patient's clinical course highlights the difficult decisions made by clinicians for mothers and fetuses.

Abstract
Ascites is a common clinical manifestation of cirrhotic portal hypertension, and about 60%-80% of cirrhotic patients develop the symptom of ascites within 10 years. Once ascites occurs, the 5-year survival rate is reduced from 80% to 50%. With the progression of liver diseases, approximately 5%-10% of patients with ascites develop refractory ascites, and the median survival time is only 6-12 months. This article reviews the definition and diagnosis of refractory ascites, evaluation of prognostic factors, and treatment regimens, including large-volume paracentesis combined with protein supplementation, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, and liver transplantation.

Abstract
We discuss the photoluminescence (PL) of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides on the basis of experiments and a microscopic theory. The latter connects ab initio calculations of the single-particle states and Coulomb matrix elements with a many-body description of optical emission spectra. For monolayer MoS2, we study the PL efficiency at the excitonic A and B transitions in terms of carrier populations in the band structure and provide a quantitative comparison to an (In)GaAs quantum well-structure. Suppression and enhancement of PL under biaxial strain is quantified in terms of changes in the local extrema of the conduction and valence bands. The large exciton binding energy in MoS2 enables two distinctly different excitation methods: above-band gap excitation and quasi-resonant excitation of excitonic resonances below the single-particle band gap. The latter case creates a nonequilibrium distribution of carriers predominantly in the K-valleys, which leads to strong emission from the A-exciton transition and a visible B-peak even if the band gap is indirect. For above-band gap excitation, we predict a strongly reduced emission intensity at comparable carrier densities and the absence of B-exciton emission. The results agree well with PL measurements performed on monolayer MoS2 at excitation wavelengths of 405 nm (above) and 532 nm (below the band gap).

Abstract
The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the regulation of mammalian reproduction has been demonstrated previously. However, only a few studies have assessed the role of miRNAs in the reproduction processes of sheep. The elucidation of miRNA expression profiles in the ovaries of different sheep breeds representing fecundity extremes will be useful in understanding the roles of miRNAs in sheep reproduction. In this study, two small RNA libraries were constructed from ovary tissue taken from Qira black sheep and Hetian sheep during the estrous period and then sequenced using the Solexa sequencing method. We obtained 9,565,212 and 9,563,426 high-quality reads from Qira black sheep and Hetian sheep, respectively. In total, 531 miRNAs, including 98 putative miRNAs, were identified. Among the conserved miRNAs, 125 known miRNAs were significantly differentially expressed in the Qira black sheep and Hetian sheep libraries, with 24 upregulated and 101 downregulated in the Hetian sheep compared to the Qira black sheep. Four differentially expressed miRNAs were analyzed using real-time quantitative PCR to validate the reliability of the Solexa sequencing results. These results provide a foundation for future research on the regulation of miRNAs in sheep fertility and enrich the sheep miRNA databases.

Abstract
Congenital syphilis is preventable and curable if maternal infection is detected early, and pregnant women in Korea are screened routinely for this disease. Nevertheless, the incidence of congenital syphilis is not decreasing. Prenatal diagnosis of congenital syphilis is difficult and treatment is usually based on maternal syphilis serology. Prenatal ultrasonographic examination may sometimes reveal abnormal features suggesting congenital infection. The authors report a case of congenital syphilis that was diagnosed in both fetus and asymptomatic mother following detection on prenatal ultrasonography of transient fetal pleural effusion. The case is noteworthy for its sonographic presentation as fetal pleural effusion rapidly resolved spontaneously.

Abstract
A search for light sterile neutrino mixing was performed with the first 217 days of data from the Daya Bay Reactor Antineutrino Experiment. The experiment's unique configuration of multiple baselines from six 2.9 GW(th) nuclear reactors to six antineutrino detectors deployed in two near (effective baselines 512 m and 561 m) and one far (1579 m) underground experimental halls makes it possible to test for oscillations to a fourth (sterile) neutrino in the 10(-3) eV(2)<|Δm(41)(2) |< 0.3 eV(2) range. The relative spectral distortion due to the disappearance of electron antineutrinos was found to be consistent with that of the three-flavor oscillation model. The derived limits on sin(2) 2θ(14) cover the 10(-3) eV(2) ≲ |Δm(41)(2)| ≲ 0.1 eV(2) region, which was largely unexplored.

Abstract
A measurement of the energy dependence of antineutrino disappearance at the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment is reported. Electron antineutrinos (ν¯(e)) from six 2.9 GW(th) reactors were detected with six detectors deployed in two near (effective baselines 512 and 561 m) and one far (1579 m) underground experimental halls. Using 217 days of data, 41 589 (203 809 and 92 912) antineutrino candidates were detected in the far hall (near halls). An improved measurement of the oscillation amplitude sin(2)2θ(13)=0.090(-0.009)(+0.008) and the first direct measurement of the ν¯(e) mass-squared difference |Δm(ee)2|=(2.59(-0.20)(+0.19))×10(-3) eV2 is obtained using the observed ν¯(e) rates and energy spectra in a three-neutrino framework. This value of |Δm(ee)2| is consistent with |Δm(μμ)2| measured by muon neutrino disappearance, supporting the three-flavor oscillation model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on the efficacy and safety of sorafenib in combination with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are lacking. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this multicenter retrospective study, 222 consecutive HCC patients receiving combination therapy were enrolled between June 2008 and July 2011. RESULTS Chronic hepatitis B was the predominant cause of HCC (86%). Eighty percent patients were at Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage C, and 86% patients were in Child-Pugh (CP) A class. The overall median survival was 12 months (95% CI 10.1-13.9). The overall incidence of adverse events (AEs) was 87%. In 177 BCLC-C patients, performance status, the number of HCC nodules, Child-Pugh score and macrovascular invasion were significantly associated with overall survival (OS) and were included in the final risk scores (R), where R = 5 × (vascular invasion: 0 if no, 1 yes) + 6 × (CP: 0 if A, 1 if B) + 7 × (no. of lesions: 0 if 1-2, 1 ≥3) + 8 × ( Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, ECOG: 0 if 0, 1 ≥1). CONCLUSIONS Sorafenib in combination with TACE should be considered a safe and effective therapy for advanced HCC. Further validation of the new subgroup of BCLC-C stage is warranted in an independent patient cohort.

Abstract
The cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a plasma glycoprotein that transfers neutral lipids between plasma lipoproteins. The distribution of variations in the CETP gene and their influences on lipid levels were investigated among random members of the Korean population (n = 270) whose profiles of environmental factors were known. The frequencies of the major allele at BamHI, EcoNI, TaqIA, TaqIB, New HinfI RFLPs, and the D442G mutation were 0.77, 0.55, 0.84, 0.62, 0.81, and 0.94, in serial order. The significant associations of the BamHI RFLP and the D442G mutation with the plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels were observed in this population. Subjects with genotype B2B2 of the BamHI RFLP had significantly lower HDL cholesterol levels than the mean of total subjects. Subjects with D442G mutant allele had a significantly higher HDL cholesterol levels only in males. Analysis of the covariance model (ANOCOVA) showed that allelic variations in the BamHI RFLP and the D442G mutation sites accounted independently for 4.0 and 5.9% of the total inter-individual variation in plasma HDL cholesterol in males (F = 2.29, p = 0.10; F = 3.4, p = 0.03). The effect of the CETP genotype was very high (about 10%), compared to the total effects of sex, body mass index, age, and smoking habit (20%). In conclusion, the genetic variation of the CETP gene is related to the regulation of plasma HDL cholesterol levels and the extent of the effect seems to be different between male and female in the Korean population.
