Abstract
Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), which is crucial in cell cycle regulation, is considered a promising anticancer drug target. Herein, we present the N-degron pathway-based proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) for PLK1 degradation, targeting the Polo-box domain (PBD). We identified DD-2 as the most potent PROTAC that selectively induces PLK1 degradation in cancer cells, including HeLa and nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), through the N-degron pathway. DD-2 exhibited significant in vitro anticancer effects, inducing G2/M arrest and apoptosis in HeLa and NSCLC cell lines. DD-2 showed significant tumor growth inhibition in a xenograft mouse model using HeLa and NSCLC cell lines, highlighting its potential in cancer treatment. Furthermore, the combination of DD-2 with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), osimertinib, effectively suppressed tumor growth in double-mutated H1975 cell lines, emphasizing DD-2's potential in combination cancer therapies. Collectively, this study demonstrates the potential of the N-degron pathway, especially using DD-2, for targeted cancer therapies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pedunculated polyps (PPs) in the colon are usually resected with hot snare polypectomy to prevent immediate postpolypectomy bleeding (IPPB). This study aimed to evaluate the safety of CSP of <10 mm PPs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients undergoing colonoscopy from February 18, 2019, to April 24, 2020, and were found to have at least 1 ≤10 mm PP resected with CSP were included prospectively in a continuous quality improvement project to assess the risk of IPPB and delayed postpolypectomy bleeding. Polyp location, size, and pathology, as well as the method of resection, were recorded. In addition, we assessed the occurrence and severity of IPPB and the need for intervention. RESULTS We found 239 eligible polyps in 182 patients. The mean (SD) age was 58.8 (8.3) years, and 61% were males. IPPB occurred in 72 of 239 polyps, corresponding to a per-polyp bleeding percentage of 30.1% and in 65 of 182 patients, equating to a per-patient bleeding rate of 35.7%. We successfully treated bleeding by endoscopic hemostasis in 57%; the remaining 31 polyps (43%) did not require endoscopic intervention. There was no association between IPPB with age, gender, or use of aspirin or antithrombotic agents. In the bivariate model, polyp size and pathology were not associated with the risk of IPPB. Right-sided polyps were associated with a reduced risk of IPPB in the bivariate model by 61% (odds ratio=0.39; 95% confidence interval, 0.21-0.74; P =0.0057). In the multivariate model, choking the polyp base decreased the likelihood of IPPB by 97% (odds ratio=0.03; 95% confidence interval, 0.00-0.86; P =0.0459). There were no instances of delayed bleeding, perforation, or postpolypectomy syndrome. CONCLUSIONS CSP can be used for resection of ≤10 mm PPs. It is associated with a lower risk of immediate bleeding than the common perception among gastroenterologists.

Abstract
AbstractLung cancer is the second most commonly reported type of cancer worldwide. Approximately 80–85% of lung cancer occurrences are accounted by non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Polo-like kinase-1 (Plk1) plays multiple roles in cell cycle progression and its overexpression is observed in majority of malignancies, including NSCLC. A combination of frontline drugs and inhibitors targeting the Plk kinase domain (KD) has been used to overcome drug resistance in NSCLC. Plk1 KD inhibitors are highly prone to cross-reactivity with similar kinases, eventually leading to undesirable side effects. Moreover, there have been no reports of Plk1 PBD inhibitors showing antitumorigenic effects on NSCLC cells or animal models so far. To address this issue herein, for the first time, our recently reported Plk1 PBD inhibitor KBJK557 was evaluated for the anticancer potential against NSCLC cells. KBJK557 displayed notable cytotoxic effects in A549, PC9, and H1975 cells. Mechanistic investigations revealed that KBJK557-treated cells underwent G2/M cell cycle arrest, triggering subsequent apoptosis. In vivo antitumorigenic activity in xenograft mice model demonstrates that KBJK557-treated mice showed a considerable decrease in tumor size, proving the significances of Plk1 in lung cancer. Collectively, this study demonstrates that KBJK557 can serve as a promising drug candidate for treating the lung cancer through Plk1 PBD inhibition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To define the incidence of clinically-detected COVID-19 in people with HIV (PWH) in the US and evaluate how racial and ethnic disparities, comorbidities, and HIV-related factors contribute to risk of COVID-19. DESIGN Observational study within the CFAR Network of Integrated Clinical Systems cohort in 7 cities during 2020. METHODS We calculated cumulative incidence rates of COVID-19 diagnosis among PWH in routine care by key characteristics including race/ethnicity, current and lowest CD4 count, and geographic area. We evaluated risk factors for COVID-19 among PWH using relative risk regression models adjusted with disease risk scores. RESULTS Among 16,056 PWH in care, of whom 44.5% were Black, 12.5% were Hispanic, with a median age of 52 years (IQR 40-59), 18% had a current CD4 count < 350, including 7% < 200; 95.5% were on antiretroviral therapy, and 85.6% were virologically suppressed. Overall in 2020, 649 PWH were diagnosed with COVID-19 for a rate of 4.94 cases per 100 person-years. The cumulative incidence of COVID-19 was 2.4-fold and 1.7-fold higher in Hispanic and Black PWH respectively, than non-Hispanic White PWH. In adjusted analyses, factors associated with COVID-19 included female sex, Hispanic or Black identity, lowest historical CD4 count <350 (proxy for CD4 nadir), current low CD4/CD8 ratio, diabetes, and obesity. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the presence of structural racial inequities above and beyond medical comorbidities increased the risk of COVID-19 among PWHPWH with immune exhaustion as evidenced by lowest historical CD4 or current low CD4:CD8 ratio had greater risk of COVID-19.

Abstract
Cancer has been identified as a leading cause of death worldwide, and the increasing number of cancer cases threatens to shorten the average life expectancy of people. Recently, we reported a 3-azido-3-deoxythymidine (AZT)-based amphipathic small molecule, ADG-2e that revealed a notable potency against tumor metastasis. To evaluate the anticancer potential of ADG-2e, we assessed its anticancer potency in vitro and in vivo. Anticancer screening of ADG-2e against cervical cancer cells, HeLa CCL2, and BT549 mammary gland ductal carcinoma showed significant inhibition of cancer cell proliferation. Furthermore, mechanistic investigations revealed that cancer cell death presumably proceeded through an oncosis mechanistic pathway because ADG-2e treated cells showed severe damage on the plasma membrane, a loss of membrane integrity, and leakage of α-tubulin and β-actin. Finally, evaluation of the antitumorigenic potential of ADG-2e in mouse xenograft models revealed that this compound potentially inhibits cancer cell proliferation. Collectively, these findings suggest that ADG-2e can evolve as an anticancer agent, which may represent a model for nucleoside-based small molecule anticancer drug discovery.

Abstract
Polo-like kinase-1 (Plk1) plays a key role in mitosis and has been identified as an attractive anticancer drug target. Plk1 consists of two drug-targeting sites, namely, N-terminal kinase domain (KD) and C-terminal polo-box domain (PBD). As KD-targeting inhibitors are associated with severe side effects, here we report on the pyrazole-based Plk1 PBD inhibitor, KBJK557, which showed a remarkable in vitro anticancer effect by inducing Plk1 delocalization, mitotic arrest, and apoptosis in HeLa cells. Further, in vivo optical imaging analysis and antitumorigenic activities in mouse xenograft models demonstrate that KBJK557 preferentially accumulates in cancer cells and selectively inhibits cancer cell proliferation. Pharmacokinetic profiles and partition coefficients suggest that KBJK557 was exposed in the blood and circulated through the organs with an intermediate level of clearance (t1/2, 7.73 h). The present investigation offers a strategy for specifically targeting cancer using a newly identified small-molecule inhibitor that targets the Plk1 PBD.

Abstract
Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) regulates cell cycle and cell proliferation, and is currently considered a potential biomarker in clinical trials for many cancers. A characteristic feature of Plks is their C-terminal polo-box domain (PBD). Pro-Leu-His-Ser-pThr (PLHS[pT])-the phosphopeptide inhibitor of the PBD of Plk1-induces apoptosis in cancer cells. However, because of the low cell membrane-penetration ability of PLHS[pT], new approaches are required to overcome these drawbacks. We therefore developed a vitamin E (VE) conjugate that is biodegradable by intracellular redox enzymes as an anticancer drug-delivery system. To ensure high efficiency of membrane penetration, we synthesized VE-S-S-PLHS[pT]KY (1) by conjugating PLHS[pT] to VE via a disulfide bond. We found that 1 penetrated cancer cell membranes, blocked cancer cell proliferation, and induced apoptosis in cancer cells through cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase. We synthesized a radiolabeled peptide (124I-1), and the radioligand was evaluated in in vivo tumor uptake using positron emission tomography. This study shows that combination conjugates are an excellent strategy for specifically targeting Plk PBD. These conjugates have a dual function, with possible uses in anticancer therapy and tumor diagnosis.

Abstract
Considering the emergence of bacterial resistance and low proteolytic stability of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), herein we developed a series of ultra-short triazine based amphipathic polymers (TZP) that are connected with ethylene diamine linkers instead of protease sensitive amide bond. The most potent oligomers, TZP3 and TZP5 not only displayed potent antibacterial action on various drug-resistant pathogens but also exhibited a strong synergic antibacterial activity in combination with chloramphenicol against multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDRPA). Since most of atopic dermatitis (AD) infections are caused by bacterial colonization, we evaluated the potency of TZP3 and TZP5 on AD in vitro and in vivo. In vitro AD analysis of these two polymers showed significant inhibition against the release of β-hexosaminidase and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) from RBL-2H3 cells. In AD-like skin lesions in BALB/c mice model, these two polymers displayed significant potency in suppressing dermal and epidermal thickness, mast cell infiltration and pro-inflammatory cytokines expression. Moreover, these polymers exhibited remarkable efficacy over the allergies caused by the imbalance of Th1/Th2 by regulating total IgE and IgG2a. Finally, the impact of treatment effects of these polymers was examined through analyzing the weights and sizes of spleen and lymph node of AD-induced mice.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recent blood pressure guidelines recommend intensive blood pressure control in diabetic patients with cardiovascular disease.
Purpose
We sought to investigate combined impact of intensive blood glucose lowering and blood pressure control on clinical outcome in diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has not been fully investigated yet.
Method
Korean Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (KAMIR) – National Institute of Health (NIH) database included 12,179 patients (9,046 men; mean age = 63.6±12.6 year-old) who were discharged alive. Among them, 3,430 (28.2%) had a diabetes mellitus (DM). MACCEs were defined as a composition of all cause death, non-fatal MI, repeat revascularizations including repeated percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary bypass grafting, cerebrovascular accident and rehospitalizations at 1 year. This research was supported by a fund by Research of Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Result
We determined cut-off value of discharge systolic blood pressure (SBP) to predict 1-year MACCE in DM and non-DM patients. Discharge SBP of less than 130mmHg was associated with a lower MACCE at 1 year compared to SBP level of 130mmHg or greater (10.8% versus 15.4%; log-rank p=0.001) in DM patients, whereas discharge SBP cut-off level was 140mmHg to discriminate 1-year MACCE in non-DM patients (6.4% versus 8.5%, log-rank p=0.045). In DM patients, there were no significant difference in 1-year MACCEs between patients with HbA1c less than 7% versus 7% or greater (12.0% versus 10.7%; log-rank p=0.325). DM patients were categorized into 4 groups; discharge SBP <130mmHg and HbA1c <7% (Group 1); discharge SBP <130mmHg and HbA1c ≥7% (Group 2); discharge SBP ≥130mmHg and HbA1c <7% (Group 3); discharge SBP ≥130mmHg and HbA1c ≥7% (Group 4). Intensive BP control was associated lower 1-year MACCEs in patients with good glycemic control (Group 1 & 3; 10.7% versus 16.7%; log-rank p=0.009). However, in patients with poor glycemic control, intensive BP control did not improve 1-year MACCEs (Group 2 & 4; 10.6% versus 11.1%; log-rank p=0.761).
Conclusion
Strict BP control is more important than glycemic control to improve short-term clinical outcome in DM patients with AMI. However, in patients with poor glycemic control, strict BP control did not improve clinical outcome.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Current guideline recommends potent antiplatelet agents and transradial intervention. However, it is uncertain whether routine use of IVUS, thrombus aspiration and glycoprotein IIB-IIIA inhibitor is beneficial for improving clinical outcome in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate optimal procedural strategy to improve clinical outcome.
Methods
A total of 6,046 patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for STEMI were analyzed from the Korean Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (KAMIR) – National Institute of Health (NIH) database. MACCEs were defined as a composition of all cause death, non-fatal MI, repeat revascularizations including repeated percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary bypass grafting, cerebrovascular accident and rehospitalizations. This research was supported by a fund by Research of Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Results
During the primary PCI, potent antiplatelet agents such as prasugrel and ticagrelor were used in 2342 (38.4%). PCI was performed through transradial approach in 1490 (25.2%). Thrombus aspiration and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) examination was done in 2204 (36.1%) and 1079 (18.1%), respectively. Glycoprotein IIB-IIIA inhibitor was administered in 1295 (21.7%). Among them, potent antiplatelet agents, transradial intervention, IVUS, and thrombus aspiration significantly reduced MACCEs at 1 year. Glycoprotein IIB-IIIA inhibitor was not effective to improved clinical outcome. In Cox-proportional hazards model, potent antiplatelet agents (hazard ratio 0.82, 95% confidence interval 0.67–0.99; p=0.045) and transradial intervention (hazard ratio 0.61, 95% confidence interval 0.47–0.78; p<0.001) was an independent predictor of MACCEs after adjusting for confounding variables. Combined use of potent antiplatelet agents and transradial intervention (hazard ratio 0.54; 95% confidence interval 0.37–0.80; p=0.002) substantially reduced MACCEs at 1 year.
Conclusion
Among evidence based procedures during the primary PCI, combined use of potent antiplatelet agents and transradial intervention was optimal procedural strategy to improve clinical outcome.

Abstract
The emergence of multi-drug resistant bacteria forces the therapeutic world into a position, where the development of new and alternative kind of antibiotics is highly important. Herein, we report the development of triazine-based amphiphilic small molecular antibacterial agents as mimics of lysine- and arginine-based cationic peptide antibiotics (CPAs). These compounds were screened against a panel of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Further, anti-inflammatory evaluation of these compounds led to the identification of four efficient compounds, DG-5, DG-6, DL-5, and DL-6. These compounds displayed significant potency against drug-resistant bacteria, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa (MDRPA), and vancomycin-resistant E. faecium (VREF). Mechanistic studies, including cytoplasmic membrane depolarization, confocal imaging and flow cytometry suggest that DG-5, DG-6, and DL-5 kill bacteria by targeting bacterial membrane, while DL-6 follows intracellular targeting mechanism. We also demonstrate that these molecules have therapeutic potential by showing the efficiency of DG-5 in preventing the lung inflammation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) mouse model. More interestingly, DL-6 exhibited impressive potency on atopic dermatitis (AD)-like skin lesions in BALB/c mice model by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Collectively, these results suggest that they can serve a new class of antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anti-atopic agents with promising therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) plays crucial roles in various stages of oocyte maturation. Recently, we reported that the peptidomimetic compound AB103-8, which targets the polo box domain (PBD) of PLK1, affects oocyte meiotic maturation and the resumption of meiosis. However, to overcome the drawbacks of peptidic compounds, we designed and synthesized a series of pyrrole-based small-molecule inhibitors and tested them for their effects on the rates of porcine oocyte maturation. Among them, the macrocyclic compound (E/Z)-3-(2,16-dioxo-19-(4-phenylbutyl)-3,19-diazabicyclo[15.2.1]icosa-1(20),6,17-trien-3-yl)propyl dihydrogen phosphate (4) showed the highest inhibitory activity with enhanced inhibition against embryonic blastocyst formation. Furthermore, the addition of this compound to culture media efficiently blocked the maturation of porcine and mouse oocytes, indicating its ability to penetrate the zona pellucida and cell membrane. We investigated mouse oocytes treated with compound 4, and the resulting impairment of spindle formation confirmed PLK1 inhibition. Finally, molecular modeling studies with PLK1 PBD also confirmed the presence of significant interactions between compound 4 and PLK1 PBD binding pocket residues, including those in the phosphate, tyrosine-rich, and pyrrolidine binding pockets. Collectively, these results suggest that the macrocyclic compound 4 may serve as a promising template for the development of novel contraceptive agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The value of narrow-band imaging (NBI) for detecting serrated lesions is unknown. OBJECTIVE To assess NBI for the detection of proximal colon serrated lesions. DESIGN Randomized, controlled trial. SETTING Two academic hospital outpatient units. PATIENTS Eight hundred outpatients 50 years of age and older with intact colons undergoing routine screening, surveillance, or diagnostic examinations. INTERVENTIONS Randomization to colon inspection in NBI versus white-light colonoscopy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS The number of serrated lesions (sessile serrated polyps plus hyperplastic polyps) proximal to the sigmoid colon. RESULTS The mean inspection times for the whole colon and proximal colon were the same for the NBI and white-light groups. There were 204 proximal colon lesions in the NBI group and 158 in the white light group (P = .085). Detection of conventional adenomas was comparable in the 2 groups. LIMITATIONS Lack of blinding, endoscopic estimation of polyp location. CONCLUSION NBI may increase the detection of proximal colon serrated lesions, but the result in this trial did not reach significance. Additional study of this issue is warranted. ( CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT01572428.).

Abstract
Two recent genome-wide association studies have identified that the rs2274223 single-nucleotide polymorphism inphospholipase C epsilon 1 and the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs13042395 in C20orf54 are involved in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Chinese populations. We hypothesized that genetic polymorphisms of phospholipase C epsilon 1 and C20orf54 are also associated with ESCC in a Korean population. The rs2274223 and rs13042395 genotyping was performed using high-resolution melting analysis. The rs2274223 GG genotype was significantly associated with an increased risk of ESCC (odds ratio [OR]=1.86, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.08-3.25) compared with the rs2274223 AA genotype. The rs13042395 G allele showed a significantly decreased risk of ESCC in the younger age group (OR=0.71, 95% CI=0.52-0.97) and no significant association in the older group (OR=1.19, 95% CI=0.87-1.62). We observed that the rs2274223 polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of ESCC in this Korean case-control study and that age may modify the association between the rs13042395 polymorphism and the risk of ESCC.

Abstract
Gellan gum (GG)-based hydrogels are advantageous in tissue engineering not only due to their ability to retain large quantities of water and provide a similar environment to that of natural extracellular matrix (ECM), but also because they can gelify in situ in seconds. Their mechanical properties can be fine-tuned to mimic natural tissues such as the nucleus pulposus (NP). This study produced different formulations of GG hydrogels by mixing varying amounts of methacrylated (GG-MA) and high-acyl gellan gums (HA-GG) for applications as acellular and cellular NP substitutes. The hydrogels were physicochemically characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis. Degradation and swelling abilities were assessed by soaking in a phosphate buffered saline solution for up to 170 h. Results showed that as HA-GG content increased, the modulus of the hydrogels decreased. Moreover, increases in HA-GG content induced greater weight loss in the GG-MA/HA-GG formulation compared to GG-MA hydrogel. Potential cytotoxicity of the hydrogel was assessed by culturing rabbit NP cells up to 7 days. An MTS assay was performed by seeding rabbit NP cells onto the surface of 3D hydrogel disc formulations. Viability of rabbit NP cells encapsulated within the different hydrogel formulations was also evaluated by Calcein-AM and ATP assays. Results showed that tunable GG-MA/HA-GG hydrogels were non-cytotoxic and supported viability of rabbit NP cells.

Abstract
The microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) constitutes the major part of the total human microbiome and is considered to be an important regulator of human health and host metabolism. Numerous investigations in recent years have focused on the connection between the human microbiota and metabolic diseases such as obesity, type II diabetes and atherosclerosis. Yet, little is known about the impact of probiotic consumption on the GIT microbial population and the potential effect on chronic diseases. In this study, the modulation of the microbial community in the murine small intestine resulting from probiotic feeding was investigated and was found to be associated with an anti-obesity effect. Changes in the microbiota of the mouse faeces and small intestine were monitored using quantitative real-time PCR and by following the mRNA expression levels of various obesity-related biomarkers following probiotic feeding in a mouse model. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Lactobacillus sakei NR28 (a putative probiotic strain isolated from kimchi) were administered at a daily level of approximately 1×10(8) viable bacteria per mouse (C57BL/6J mice) for up to three weeks. Feeding these strains resulted in a significant reduction of epididymal fat mass, as well as obesity-related biomarkers like acetyl-CoA carboxylase, fatty acid synthase, and stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 in the liver. The total number and ratio of the microbial groups, i.e. Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Clostridium cluster I and XIVab, and Lactobacillus spp. were modulated in the small intestine, and the Firmicutes:Bacteroidetes ratio was decreased. In contrast, no noticeable effect of probiotic feeding could be detected on the faecal microbiota, neither quantitatively, nor with regard to the bacterial groups (Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Clostridium cluster I and XIVab, and Lactobacillus spp.) studied.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess whether p53 codon 72 polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of esophageal cancer (EC) in South Korea. We conducted a case-control study including 340 patients with EC, and 1700 controls. P53 codon 72 polymorphism was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction. The frequencies of p53 codon 72 polymorphisms (Arg/Arg, Arg/Pro, and Pro/Pro) in EC were 39.4%, 45.6%, and 15.0%, respectively; frequencies in the controls were 43.2%, 45.6%, and 11.2%, respectively. Compared with the Arg/Arg genotype, the OR of the Arg/Pro genotype was 1.09 (95% CI = 0.85-1.41) and that of the Pro/Pro genotype was 1.47 (95% CI = 1.02-2.11) for EC overall. When adjusted by age, gender, and smoking status, the OR of the Arg/Pro genotype was 1.24 (95% CI = 0.92-1.67) and that of the Pro/Pro genotype was 1.77 (95% CI = 1.15-2.74) for EC overall. In never-smokers and ever-smokers, the OR of the Arg/Pro genotype was 0.59 (95% CI = 0.37-0.95) and 1.39 (95% CI = 1.00-1.91), respectively, and there was a significant difference in the homogeneity test (P= 0.011). We observed that the p53 codon 72 polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of EC in this Korean case-control study, and smoking status modified the association between the p53 codon 72 polymorphism and the risk of EC.

Abstract
SUMMARY We studied femoral geometry in relation to age and ethnicity in a cross-sectional study. Age-associated cortical thinning showed the most pronounced effect, and Koreans studied here had thicker cortices and lower buckling ratios than those reported for other races. Cortical thickness may thus be a major determinant of hip fracture risk. INTRODUCTION The rate of hip fracture varies by age and ethnicity. The geometric properties of the femur influence femoral strength and fragility, but differences in femoral geometry according to age and ethnicity are poorly understood. To explain the high prevalence of hip fractures in the elderly and the relatively low hip fracture rate in Asian populations, we studied age-related changes and ethnic differences in femoral geometry. METHODS We recruited 214 peri- or postmenopausal women aged 46 to 85 years (mean age, 60.6 years). Their proximal femoral bone mineral densities (BMD) were measured by quantitative computed tomography and further analyzed geometric properties. RESULTS We observed large declines in trabecular volumetric bone mineral density associated with aging (33.03% less than the reference value in the oldest group, respectively). Cortical thickness decreased remarkably with age as well, and only 53.94% of the baseline value remained in the oldest group. As a result, the cortical buckling ratio increased geometrically and reached 239.14% of the reference value in the oldest group. In comparisons with other ethnic groups, Korean subjects had thicker cortices than their American, European, and African counterparts. CONCLUSIONS In this cross-sectional study, cortical thickness showed a pronounced age-associated decrease, and the cortical buckling ratio showed a strong age-associated increase. This may in part explain the higher rates of hip fractures in the elderly. When compared with other races, Asians had thicker cortical bone and lower buckling ratios, which may partially explain the lower prevalence of hip fractures in Asians.

Abstract
The centrality dependence of the charged-particle multiplicity density at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV is presented. The charged-particle density normalized per participating nucleon pair increases by about a factor of 2 from peripheral (70%-80%) to central (0%-5%) collisions. The centrality dependence is found to be similar to that observed at lower collision energies. The data are compared with models based on different mechanisms for particle production in nuclear collisions.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of charged particle elliptic flow in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[S(NN)] =2.76 TeV with the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The measurement is performed in the central pseudorapidity region (|η|<0.8) and transverse momentum range 0.2<p t<5.0 GeV/c. The elliptic flow signal v₂, measured using the 4-particle correlation method, averaged over transverse momentum and pseudorapidity is 0.087 ± 0.002(stat) ± 0.003(syst) in the 40%-50% centrality class. The differential elliptic flow v₂ p t reaches a maximum of 0.2 near p t =3 GeV/c. Compared to RHIC Au-Au collisions at sqrt[S(NN)] 200 GeV, the elliptic flow increases by about 30%. Some hydrodynamic model predictions which include viscous corrections are in agreement with the observed increase.

Abstract
The first measurement of the charged-particle multiplicity density at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair √ S NN = 2.76 TeV is presented. For an event sample corresponding to the most central 5% of the hadronic cross section, the pseudorapidity density of primary charged particles at midrapidity is 1584 ± 4(stat) ± 76(syst), which corresponds to 8.3 ± 0.4(syst) per participating nucleon pair. This represents an increase of about a factor 1.9 relative to pp collisions at similar collision energies, and about a factor 2.2 to central Au-Au collisions at √ S NN = 2.76 TeV. This measurement provides the first experimental constraint for models of nucleus-nucleus collisions at LHC energies.

Abstract
The ratio of the yields of antiprotons to protons in pp collisions has been measured by the ALICE experiment at sqrt[s]=0.9 and 7 TeV during the initial running periods of the Large Hadron Collider. The measurement covers the transverse momentum interval 0.45<p_{t}<1.05 GeV/c and rapidity |y|<0.5. The ratio is measured to be R_{|y|<0.5}=0.957±0.006(stat)±0.014(syst) at 0.9 TeV and R_{|y|<0.5}=0.991±0.005(stat)±0.014(syst) at 7 TeV and it is independent of both rapidity and transverse momentum. The results are consistent with the conventional model of baryon-number transport and set stringent limits on any additional contributions to baryon-number transfer over very large rapidity intervals in pp collisions.

Abstract
Immunization with hepatitis B (HBV) vaccine is recommended for all HIV-infected individuals without immunity to HBV. This patient population, however, has relatively poor HBV vaccine responses. Factors associated with this impaired HBV vaccine response in HIV-infected individuals may include older age, uncontrolled HIV replication, and low nadir CD4 cell count. Postvaccination testing for HBV surface antibody is recommended and vaccine non-responders should undergo repeat immunization with a full series. The benefit of double dosage, the appropriate strategy for HIV-infected patients with isolated HBV core antibody and the timing and number of vaccinations in persons with advanced immunosuppression on highly active antiretroviral therapy remain controversial areas.

Abstract
The influence of solution chemistry and cell concentration on bacterial transport has been examined using Salmonella pullorum SA1685 and Escherichia coli O157:H7. A column was employed to determine the transport behavior and deposition kinetics with aquifer sand over a range of ionic strengths and cell concentrations. O157:H7 was found to be more adhesive than SA1685, with calculated deposition rate coefficients higher than those of SA1685. Comprehensive cell surface characterization techniques including size, surface charge density, extracellular polymeric substance content, electrophoretic mobility, and hydrophobicity analyses were conducted to explain observed transporttrends. The pathogens' size and hydrophobicity were not significantly different, whereas they varied in acidity, for which O157:H7 had 19 times higher surface charge density than SA1685. Electrophoretic mobilities, in general agreement with titration analysis and column experiments, revealed SA1685 to be more negative than O157:H7. This combination of column and characterization experiments indicates that SA1685 can be transported to a greater extent than O157:H7 in groundwater environments. This study is the first comprehensive work comparing the transport behavior of two important pathogens in aquifer systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cornelia de Lange syndrome is a rare developmental malformation syndrome with a high prevalence of hearing impairment. The purposes of this study were to describe the characteristic temporal bone CT findings in patients with Cornelia de Lange syndrome and to correlate audiometric data with radiologic findings in these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten children (6 girls and 4 boys; mean age, 42.0 months) who were clinically diagnosed with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (classic, n = 5; mild form, n = 5) were enrolled. Temporal bone CT was prospectively performed, and 32 aspects of each temporal bone CT were analyzed, 21 by direct measurement and 11 by visual inspection. Twenty age-matched children (n = 20 ears) with normal temporal bone CT scans served as a control group. Audiologic tests were also performed on all patients. RESULTS Characteristic temporal bone CT findings of Cornelia de Lange syndrome were external auditory canal stenosis, soft-tissue opacification of the hypoplastic tympanomastoid cavity, dysmorphic ossicle, hypoplastic cochlea, and dysplastic vestibule, all of which were more prevalent in patients with the classic form of the disease than in those with the mild form. Children who had more severe structural abnormalities on temporal bone CT had worse hearing levels compared with those without structural abnormalities. CONCLUSION Temporal bone CT scans in Cornelia de Lange syndrome could document combined structural abnormalities of the external, middle, and inner ear, which were one of the characteristic clinical manifestations; CT abnormalities were well correlated with the audiometric data.

Abstract
In a previous study, we reported that the distribution of inhibitory input, in contrast to excitatory input, decreased somatofugally along dendrites of cat jaw-closing alpha-motoneurons [J Comp Neurol 414 (1999) 454]. The present study examined the distribution of GABA, glycine, and glutamate immunopositive boutons covering horseradish peroxidase-labeled cat jaw-opening motoneurons. The motoneurons were divided into four compartments: the soma, and primary, intermediate, and distal dendrites. Ninety-seven percent of the total number of studied boutons had immunoreactivity for at least one of the three amino acids. The proportion of boutons immunoreactive for GABA and/or glycine was lower than the proportion of boutons immunoreactive for glutamate. Boutons immunoreactive to glycine alone were more numerous than boutons double-labeled for GABA and glycine, which, in turn, occurred more frequently than boutons immunoreactive to GABA alone. The percentage synaptic covering (proportion of membrane covered by synaptic boutons) of the putatively excitatory (glutamate containing) and putatively inhibitory (GABA and/or glycine containing) boutons decreased somatofugally along the dendrites. Such systematic variations were not seen in the packing density (number of boutons per 100 microm(2)); the packing density showed a distinct drop between the soma and primary dendrites but did not differ significantly among the three dendritic compartments. Overall, the packing density was slightly higher for the putatively excitatory boutons than for the inhibitory ones. When taken together with previous analyses of jaw-closing alpha-motoneurons the present data on jaw-opening alpha-motoneurons indicate that the two types of neuron differ in regard to the nature of synaptic integration in the dendritic tree.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a biological mediator that is synthesized from L-arginine by the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) family. We investigated the expression of iNOS in bone marrow (BM) mononuclear cells (MNCs) using a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay and the concentration of NO from BM serum by measuring the metabolite NO(2)(-) in 13 patients with aplastic anemia (AA) compared with 10 normal controls who were donors for allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). All samples of BM MNCs in patients with AA expressed iNOS mRNA, but iNOS was not expressed in patients who were treated successfully with allogeneic BMT. Normal control samples and samples from leukemia patients who had bone marrow aplasia after chemotherapy did not show significant iNOS expression. When we measured the density of bands for both iNOS and beta(2)-microglobin expressed as the iNOS/beta(2)-microglobin density ratio, there was a significant difference in the ratio between AA and normal controls (0.88+/-0.15 vs 0.26+/-0.05, P<0.001). The BM serum NO(2)(-) concentration in the patients with AA was significantly higher than that of normal controls (88.1+/-32.8 microM vs 48.8+/-8.6 microM, P=0.002). In addition, there was a significant correlation between the NO(2)(-) concentration and the calculated iNOS/beta(2)-microglobin density ratio (r=0.567, P=0.01). These findings suggest that upregulation of iNOS expression for local NO production may contribute in part to the pathogenesis of AA.

Abstract
We investigated whether a genomic demethylation process occurs in pig preimplantation embryos produced by either normal fertilization or somatic cell nuclear transfer. The methylation status of the centromeric satellite and the PRE-1 short interspersed element (SINE) sequences was characterized using bisulfite-sequencing technology. Typical demethylation processes were identified in these repetitive sequences of the cloned donor genome during cleavage, the patterns of which were similar to the ones detected in fertilized counterparts. These findings are different from previous observations with cloned bovine embryos where various repeated regions of the donor genome exhibited aberrant methylation patterns. Our results indicate that species-specific differences exist in modifying the epigenetic status of cloned donor genomes.

Abstract
We investigated the function of Clara cells in vivo during exposure to inhaled crystalline silica by examining pulmonary matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 mRNA levels in mice. The Clara cells of male FVB/n mice (8-12 weeks old) were ablated by intraperitoneal administration of naphthalene (300 mg/kg) in a corn oil vehicle. The mice were then exposed to crystalline silica (Min-U-Sil-5 silica, 97.1 +/- 9.5 mg/m(2), 6 hr/day, 5 days/week) for up to 2 weeks. Transcriptional levels of mRNA extracted from the lungs were assessed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Gene expression of both MMP-2 and MMP-9 was significantly more marked in the Clara cell-ablated group than in the group with Clara cells, indicating that Clara cells inhibit MMP expression. Our findings suggest that Clara cells inhibit pulmonary inflammation induced by crystalline silica via MMPs in vivo.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species have been proposed to play important roles in atherosclerosis. To investigate the protective role of extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD), its inhibition of endothelial-cell-mediated LDL oxidation was examined. We constructed the recombinant adenovirus AxCAEC-SOD expressing human EC-SOD by CAG promoter. Infection of endothelial cells with AxCAEC-SOD resulted in EC-SOD protein secretion in a dose-dependent manner and a decrease of endothelial-cell-derived superoxide production. Moreover, it was proven to coexist with heparan sulfate by immunohistochemical staining. Endothelial-cell-mediated LDL oxidation enhanced by ferric-sodium EDTA was inhibited by 47% in TBARS formation by AxCAEC-SOD infection. In agarose gel electrophoresis, AxCAEC-SOD decreased the negative charge of oxidized LDL by 50% and suppressed fragmentation of apolipoprotein B. These results suggested that human EC-SOD localized in the extracellular space and reduced endothelial-cell-mediated LDL oxidation. In subendothelial space, EC-SOD bound on heparan sulfate might suppress LDL oxidation through reduction of superoxide anion.

Abstract
Beta-glucan, one of the major cell wall components of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been found to enhance immune functions, especially by activating macrophages. However, a major obstacle to the clinical application of beta-(1-->3)-glucan is its low solubility in aqueous media. In this study, soluble beta-glucan, free of mannoprotein, was prepared, and its effects on TNF-alpha secretion and phagocytosis by macrophages were evaluated. Beta-glucan was first rendered soluble from the yeast cell wall by alkaline extraction (glucan-p1). The extract contained 2.8% of protein which was subsequently removed by successive DEAE-cellulose and ConA chromatography. Beta-glucan thus prepared was completely free of mannoprotein and was soluble at neutral pH (glucan-p3). The effects of beta-glucan on phagocytosis and TNF-alpha release activity were investigated. While glucan-p1 moderately induced TNF-alpha secretion at 200 microg/ml (550 pg of TNF-alpha/5 x 10(5) cells), glucan-p3 markedly stimulated macrophages at 200 microg/ml (2,860 pg of TNF-alpha/5 x 10(5) cells). Furthermore, glucan-p3 stimulated phagocytosis about 20% more than glucan-p1 did. In conclusion, we purified water-soluble beta-glucan which was completely devoid of mannoprotein and effectively stimulated the macrophage function, enabling it to be used as an intravenous injection for sepsis.

Abstract
The antifungal activity and mechanism of a 23-mer peptide, PMAP-23, derived from pig myeloid was investigated. PMAP-23 displayed strong antifungal activity against yeast and mold. To investigate the antifungal mechanism of PMAP-23, fluorescence activated flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy were performed. Candida albicans treated with PMAP-23 showed higher fluorescence intensity by propidium iodide(PI) staining, which was similar to that of Melittin than untreated cells. Confocal microscopy showed that the peptide was located in the plasma membrane. The action of peptides against fungal cell membranes was examined by treating prepared protoplasts of C. albicans with the peptide and lipid vesicle titration test. The result showed that the peptide prevented the regeneration of fungal cell walls and induced release of the fluorescent dye trapped in the artificial membrane vesicles, indicating that the peptide exerts its antifungal activity by acting on the plasma lipid membrane.

Abstract
We examined 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-Gua) formation and 8-OH-Gua repair enzyme activity in pulmonary type-II-like epithelial cells to determine whether oxidative stress induced by asbestos plays a role in its carcinogenic mechanism. A549 cells were incubated with crocidolite asbestos at concentrations of 0, 10, 50 and 100 microg/ml over 27 h. We then evaluated 8-OH-Gua formation, 8-OH-Gua repair enzyme activity and gene expression of 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase 1 (hOGG1) and human MUtT homologue (hMTH1). This was done using a high-performance liquid chromatography system equipped with an electrochemical detector, endonuclease nicking assay and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Crocidolite induced the formation of 8-OH-Gua in DNA at concentrations of 50 and 100 microg/ml. 8-OH-Gua levels increased at 9 h and had declined to near baseline at 27 h, whereas 8-OH-Gua repair enzyme activity peaked at 18 h post-crocidolite exposure. hOGG1 and hMTH1 mRNA levels were also increased by crocidolite exposure. These data suggest that crocidolite asbestos is associated with epithelial cell injury in the process of carcinogenesis through oxidative stress.

Abstract
Soluble mediators such as interleukin-1beta, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) produced from activated macrophages play an important role in the destruction of pancreatic beta cells in mice infected with a low dose of the D variant of encephalomyocarditis (EMC-D) virus. The tyrosine kinase signaling pathway was shown to be involved in EMC-D virus-induced activation of macrophages. This investigation was initiated to determine whether the Src family of kinases plays a role in the activation of macrophages, subsequently resulting in the destruction of beta cells, in mice infected with a low dose of EMC-D virus. We examined the activation of p59/p56(Hck), p55(Fgr), and p56/p53(Lyn) in macrophages from DBA/2 mice infected with the virus. We found that p59/p56(Hck) showed a marked increase in both autophosphorylation and kinase activity at 48 h after infection, whereas p55(Fgr) and p56/p53(Lyn) did not. The p59/p56(Hck) activity was closely correlated with the tyrosine phosphorylation level of Vav. Treatment of EMC-D virus-infected mice with the Src kinase inhibitor, PP2, resulted in the inhibition of p59/p56(Hck) activity and almost complete inhibition of the production of TNF-alpha and iNOS in macrophages and the subsequent prevention of diabetes in mice. On the basis of these observations, we conclude that the Src kinase, p59/p56(Hck), plays an important role in the activation of macrophages and the subsequent production of TNF-alpha and nitric oxide, leading to the destruction of pancreatic beta cells, which results in the development of diabetes in mice infected with a low dose of EMC-D virus.
