Abstract
A glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) semaglutide was approved for the treatment of obesity by the Food and Drug Administration. However, it can cause gastrointestinal events at high doses, limiting its broader use. Combining drugs with multiple mechanisms of action could enhance the weight-reducing effects while minimizing side effects. To this end, we investigated the combined effects of semaglutide and avasimibe, an acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) inhibitor, on weight reduction in diet-induced obesity mice. Two cohorts of mice were used: In cohort 1, mice were fed a high-fat (HF) diet for 12 weeks and then randomly assigned to the vehicle, avasimibe [10 mg/kg body weight (BW)], semaglutide (0.4 mg/kg BW), or combination groups. The drugs were administered via subcutaneous (sc) injections on a daily basis. In cohort 2, mice were fed an HF diet for 8 weeks and randomly assigned to the same four groups, but avasimibe was administered at a dose of 20 mg/kg BW, and the drugs were administered every 3 days. In cohort 1, semaglutide initially reduced food intake initially, but this effect was diminished with prolonged administration. Avasimibe, on the other hand, did not affect food intake but prevented weight gain to a lesser extent than semaglutide. Importantly, the combination treatment resulted in the greatest percentage of body weight reduction, along with lower plasma glucose and leptin levels compared to the semaglutide single-treatment group. Cohort 2 confirmed that the superior weight loss in the combination group compared to the other three groups was largely due to a significant reduction in fat mass. Histological analysis of inguinal adipose tissue showed smaller adipocyte size across all treatment groups compared to the vehicle group, with no significant differences among the treatment groups. Collectively, these findings suggest combining semaglutide and avasimibe could be an effective approach to weight management.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) As patients with poor performance status cannot endure long treatment times, it can lead to unplanned and prolonged radiation treatment or discontinuation of treatment. Moreover, prolonged radiation treatment appears to negatively affect survival for patients. We aimed to verify the feasibility of fast 4DCT-based O-ring linear accelerator (LINAC) treatment in lung 4D stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). MATERIALS/METHODS This study included data of 38 patients who received lung 4D-SBRT. Gating20-70% plans were based on 4DCT data obtained at phase values ranging from 20-70% using a C-arm LINAC. Non-GatingFB plans were retrospectively established based on 4DCT data obtained at phase values of 0-90% using an O-ring LINAC. The prescribed dose of 4,800 cGy was delivered to PTV in four fractions. The conformity index (CI), homogeneity index (HI), and gradient measurement (GM) of the PTV were analyzed to compare dosimetric data between Gating20-70% and Non-GatingFB plans. Organs at risks (OARs) were analyzed in accordance with the RTOG 0915 protocol. Treatment delivery time and total monitor units (MU) were analyzed to compare the efficiency of treatment delivery. Statistical comparisons were performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test (p<0.05). RESULTS For the PTV, there was no significant difference in the CI or HI between Gating20-70% and Non-GatingFB plans (CI: 1.337±0.137, 1.335±0.174, HI: 0.939±0.015, 0.939±0.016, all at p>0.05). However, there was a significant difference in GM between Gating20-70% and Non-GatingFB plan (1.528±0.206 cm, 1.381±0.222 cm, p<0.001). For OARs, all plans met the criteria for dose constraint. There was a significant difference between Gating20-70% and Non-GatingFB plans except in the spinal cord. In particular, D1000cc and D1500cc values for the ipsilateral lung for Gating20-70% plans were 31.6% and 59.9% lower than those for Non-GatingFB plans (D1000cc: 50.780±132.061 cGy, 34.755±102.480 cGy, p<0.001, D1500cc: 6.641±14.598 cGy, 2.666±7.926 cGy, p<0.001). Treatment delivery time was 92% longer for Gating20-70% plans than for Non-GatingFB plans (5.0±0.4 min, 9.6±3.3 min, p = 0.043). The total MU value for Gating20-70% plans was 9.6% higher than that for Non-GatingFB plans (3665.8±230.7, 4016±236.9, p = 0.039). CONCLUSION When compared to OARs both plans were acceptable per RTOG-0915 protocol, but significant differences were between Non-GatingFB and Gating20-70% plans. However, treatment delivery time of Non-GatingFB plans decreased by 47.9% than Gating20-70% plans. We verified the feasibility of fast 4DCT-based O-ring LINAC treatment for patients who cannot endure long treatment times due to poor performance status in lung 4D-SBRT. In further study, we will analyze dosimetric differences and treatment delivery efficiency considering tumor motion according to tumor location.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The pattern of locoregional recurrence specifically after robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) for prostate adenocarcinoma is still unknown. In this study, we reviewed pelvic magnetic resonance images (MRI) after postoperative biochemical recurrence (BCR) and drew a map of locoregional recurrence to support evidence of determining the optimal target volume of salvage radiotherapy in a post-RALP BCR scenario. MATERIALS/METHODS We have retrospectively searched 7,583 prostate adenocarcinoma patients who have received RALP in our institution between January 2010 and December 2021, and found a pool of highly selected patients with gross tumor recurrence confirmed by post-BCR pelvic MRIs and did not have other histories of malignancy. BCR was defined as the serum PSA more or equal to 0.2 ng/mL, or three consecutive increases. Patients with serum PSA nadir more or equal to 0.2 ng/mL on the 90th postoperative day (POD 90) were excluded to guarantee successful tumor removal. We have reviewed serum PSA levels using R codes, MRI and pathological reports using Excel, and descriptive statistics using SPSS 25. The gross lesions were contoured on the correlating MRIs using MIM Maestro 7.1. The RT structure DICOM files were merged into a map using MATLAB 2022b. In addition, we have conducted Fisher exacted test, Mann-Whitney U test, and logistic regression to identify risk factors for regional recurrence. RESULTS A total of 173 patients were identified with locoregional recurrence from post-BCR pelvic MRIs, and 139 (80.3%) patients were in the high-risk group or very-high-risk group according to the NCCN guidelines: 57 (32.9%) patients with histological grade group 5, 50 (28.9%) patients with initial PSA over 20 ng/mL, 114 (65.9%) patients with extracapsular extension, 55 (31.8%) patients with seminal vesicle invasion, and 15 (9%) patients with pN1. The median follow-up was 4.7 (IQR 2.8-6.9) years for pelvic MRIs and 5.8 (IQR 4.0-8.6) years for serum PSA. The BCF survival was median of 10.7 (IQR 4.6-19.1) months, and the locoregional recurrence-free survival was median of 24.6 (IQR 9.7-49.4) months for this subgroup of patients. At first locoregional recurrence, 148 (85.5%) patients were local only, 20 (11.6%) patients were regional only, and 5 (2.9%) patients were both local and regional. Out of the 25 patients with regional recurrence, the incidence of gross tumor recurrence differed by nodal sites: 3 (12%) in perirectal space, 5 (20%) in internal iliac, 7 (28%) in obturator, 13 (52%) in external iliac, and 6 (24%) in common iliac lymph nodes. CONCLUSION We have found 173 patients and were able to map reliable gross tumor recurrence sites after RALP and confirmed by pelvic MRIs following BCR. The map supports evidence of using the existing consensus pelvic clinical target volume of salvage radiotherapy, in a post-RALP BCR scenario.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) This study aimed to investigate the effect of effective dose to immune cell (EDIC) combined with pre-radiotherapy (RT) absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) on treatment-related lymphopenia during RT and treatment outcome in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A subgroup analysis in patients who received consolidation immunotherapy was also conducted. MATERIALS/METHODS Between August 2008 and December 2021, 517 patients with locally advanced NSCLC treated with definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had serial complete-blood-count tests at pre-, and during-CRT. Severe lymphopenia was defined as ALC < 0.5x109cells/L during RT. EDIC was calculated according to mean doses of the lung, heart and the total body. The patients were grouped according to high and low EDIC and pre-RT ALC and was assessed for its correlation with radiation induced lymphopenia and survival outcomes. RESULTS Of 517 eligible patients, most of the patients received weekly paclitaxel with carboplatin (90.3%) and 195 patients (37.7%) received consolidation immunotherapy following CRT. A median radiation dose of 63 Gy (IQR, 60-64.5) was delivered in 30 fractions. The optimal cutoff value of EDIC and pre-RT ALC for predicting severe lymphopenia were 2.89 Gy and 2.03x109cells/L, respectively. High risk group was defined as EDIC ≥ 2.89 Gy and pre-RT ALC < 2.03x109cells/L, low risk group as EDIC <2.89 Gy and pre-RT ALC ≥ 2.03x109cells/L, and intermediate group as EDIC ≥ 2.89 Gy and pre-RT ALC ≥ 2.03x109cells/L or EDIC < 2.89 Gy and pre-RT ALC < 2.03x109cells/L. The incidence of severe lymphopenia during RT in high, intermediate, and low risk group was 90.1%, 77.1%, and 52.3%, respectively (p<0.001). The risk groups were independent predictors for both progression-free survival (PFS) (p<0.001) and overall survival (OS) (p<0.001). The high-risk group had higher incidence of locoregional and distant recurrences (p<0.001). In the subset of patients who were treated with consolidation immunotherapy, the risk groups were predictive of severe lymphopenia (p = 0.001), PFS (p = 0.004), and OS (p = 0.012). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that the combination of EDIC and pre-RT ALC is a predictor for severe lymphopenia during RT, recurrence, and survival in patients with locally advanced NSCLC who received CRT. Moreover, the combination of EDIC and pre-RT ALC may serve as a potential biomarker for the benefit of maintenance immunotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The da Vinci SP® (dVSP) surgical system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA), a robotic platform designed for single-incision surgery, overcame the need for multiple ports in traditional robotic surgery and issues including triangulation and retraction in single-incision laparoscopic surgery. However, previous studies only included case reports or series with small sample sizes. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and performance of the dVSP surgical system and its instruments and accessories for colorectal procedures. METHODS The medical records of patients who had surgery with the dVSP from March 2019 to September 2021 at Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital were investigated. The pathologic and follow-up data of patients who had malignant tumors were analyzed separately to evaluate oncological safety. RESULTS Fifty patients (26 male and 24 female) with a median age of 59 years (interquartile range 52.5-63.0 years) were enrolled. The procedures included low anterior resection with total mesorectal excision (n = 16), sigmoid colectomy with complete mesocolic excision and central vessel ligation (CME + CVL) (n = 14), right colectomy with CME + CVL (n = 9), left colectomy with CME + CVL (n = 4), right colectomy (n = 6), and sigmoid colectomy (n = 1). Operative time significantly decreased after 25 cases (early phase vs. late phase; operative time 295.0 min vs. 250.0 min, p = 0.015; docking time 16.0 min vs. 12.0 min, p = 0.001; console time 212.0 min vs. 190.0 min, p = 0.019). Planned procedures were successfully completed in all patients. Postoperative outcomes were acceptable with only six cases of mild adverse events through a 3-month follow-up. No local recurrence and only one case of systemic recurrence occurred within 1 year postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated the surgical and oncological safety and feasibility of dVSP, which may be a novel surgical platform for colorectal surgery.

Abstract
Previous research showed that canary seed (Phalaris canariensis L.) peptides (CSP) possess robust in vitro antiobesity properties via inhibition of pancreatic lipase (PL). Nevertheless, no studies have yet explored their antiobesity properties in vivo. Consequently, we investigated the effects of CSP in C57BL/6J mice under a Western diet (WD). Mice were assigned into groups and fed a normal diet (ND) or a WD accompanied by an oral dose of CSP (250 or 500 mg/kg/day), orlistat (40 mg/kg/day), or distilled water. The results showed that consuming CSP can provide metabolic benefits, including preventing weight gain by up to 20%, increasing glucose tolerance, and reducing insulin, leptin, and LDL/VLDL levels in plasma. Conversely, total ghrelin was unaffected by CSP-500, but decreased by CSP-250, and amplified by orlistat. Surprisingly, CSP-250 was more effective in preventing weight gain and promoting satiety than CSP-500. Parallel to this, protein absorption in CSP-500 was decreased, supported by a rise in fecal crude protein (+3.5%). Similarly, fecal fat was increased by orlistat (38%) and was unaffected by CSP-250 (3.0%) and CSP (3.0%), comparatively to WD (2.5%). Despite this, both CSP treatments were equally effective in decreasing hepatic steatosis and avoiding hyperlipidemia. Furthermore, the enzymatic analysis showed that CSP-PL complexes dissociated faster (15 min) than orlistat-PL complexes (41 min). Lastly, CSP did not affect expression of hepatic lipid oxidation genes ACO and PPAR-α, but reduced the expression of the hydrolase gene LPL, and lipogenesis related genes FAS and ACC. Taken together, these results suggest that CSP antiobesity mechanism relies on lipid metabolism retardation to increase fat transit time and subsequently suppress hunger.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To measure wellness and burnout among gynecologic oncology clinicians and identify trends and at-risk populations to inform future interventions. METHODS Gynecologic oncologist (GO) and advanced practice provider (APP) responses to the 2020 Society of Gynecologic Oncology State of the Society survey were analyzed. The Maslach Burnout Inventory criteria for burnout was used. Work-life balance was scored on a 5-point Likert scale. Chi-square tests were used to compare mental health factors and the prevalence of burnout. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for associations between burnout and gender. RESULTS 543 survey responses were included for analysis. Most GO (54%) and all APP respondents were female. Female GOs were disproportionately affected by burnout particularly in the Northeast (female(F): 40.9% vs male(M): 19.1%, p = 0.007) and South (F: 42.5% vs M:22.9%, p = 0.01). Burnout in female GOs over 40 was 1.79 (CI: 1.13-2.83; p-value 0.01) times higher than similarly aged males. Females in non-private practice experienced burnout 1.66 times that of males in similar positions (CI: 1.18-2.94; p < 0.0001). Female GOs reported the worst work-life balance across all 5 domains. APPs and female GOs experienced more stress and feeling overwhelmed compared to men. GOs were more reluctant to see a mental health professional (p = 0.0003) or take medication (p = 0.009) than APPs. CONCLUSIONS Burnout in gynecologic oncology persists in both genders and is felt most acutely by female GOs. APPs are not immune and would benefit from inclusion in future research to mitigate burnout in healthcare clinicians.

Abstract
Background/Introduction
Transthyretin amyloidosis with mutations (aTTRv amyloidosis) have over 100 recognized pathogenic mutations of the TTR gene and its clinical manifestations are very heterogenous. Through the global THAOS (Transthyretin Amyloidosis Outcomes Survey) patient registry, different and several types of mutants and clinical differences have been identified. Awareness of aTTRv amyloidosis is now becoming somewhat significant amongst physicians all over the world. This is a detailed look at such efforts in Korea.
Purpose
We aimed to seek the geologic significance of aTTRv amyloidosis in South Korea.
Methods
This was an analysis of 638 Korean amyloidosis patients in a single center over a period of 16 years from 1995 to October 2021. 95 individuals were found with aTTR mutations.
Results
aTTRv amyloidosis constituted 14.8% (n=95) of amyloidosis patients, and the most commonly involved organ being the heart (61.7%, n=58). Unlike the rest of the world, the mixed phenotype was most common (51.0%, n=48) in Korea and the most universal mutation in Koreans were Asp38Ala, which only constitutes about 1.0% in the THAOS registry. Val30Met mutation, which comprises 76% of the mutation in the THAOS registry, was mostly associated the neurologic phenotypes. However, the same mutations in Korea mixed phenotypes with cardiac (38.4%) and neurologic (37%) symptoms.
Conclusion
aTTRv amyloidosis in Korea is different from other patients worldwide. The mixed phenotype was most common, emphasizing the need for heart failure management in the Korean population. Genotype wise, Koreans held a less common mutation of Asp38Ala. The most common mutation of Val30Met was more likely to be associated cardiac symptoms, which concurs with other studies that suggesting that geological features are more important than mutations itself.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a highly heterogeneous population of membranous particles that are secreted by almost all types of cells across different domains of life, including plants. In recent years, studies on plant-derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) showed that they could modulate metabolic reactions of the recipient cells, affecting (patho)physiology with health benefits in a trans-kingdom manner. In addition to its bioactivity, PDNV has advantages over conventional nanocarriers, making its application promising for therapeutics delivery. Here, we discuss the characteristics of PDNV and highlight up-to-date pre-clinical and clinical evidence, focusing on therapeutic application.

Abstract
With the increase of the adult orthodontic population, there is a need for an accurate and evidence-based prediction of the posttreatment face in 3 dimensions (3D). The objectives of this study are 1) to develop a 3D postorthodontic face prediction method based on a deep learning network using the patient-specific factors and orthodontic treatment conditions and 2) to validate the accuracy and clinical usability of the proposed method. Paired sets (n = 268) of pretreatment (T1) and posttreatment (T2) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of adult patients were trained with a conditional generative adversarial network to generate 3D posttreatment facial data based on the patient's gender, age, and the changes of upper (ΔU1) and lower incisor position (ΔL1) as input. The accuracy was calculated with prediction error and mean absolute distances between real T2 (T2) and predicted T2 (PT2) near 6 perioral landmark regions, as well as percentage of prediction error less than 2 mm using test sets (n = 44). For qualitative evaluation, an online survey was conducted with experienced orthodontists as panels (n = 56). Overall, PT2 indicated similar 3D changes to the T2 face, with the most apparent changes simulated in the perioral regions. The mean prediction error was 1.2 ± 1.01 mm with 80.8% accuracy. More than 50% of the experienced orthodontists were unable to distinguish between real and predicted images. In this study, we proposed a valid 3D postorthodontic face prediction method by applying a deep learning algorithm trained with CBCT data sets.

Abstract
Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) growth is mediated by androgens via activation of androgen receptor (AR). Accordingly, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the gold standard for the treatment of advanced PCa, but progression to castration-resistant PCa (CRPC) follows. Enzalutamide (ENZ) is an AR antagonist used for the management of CRPC. However, patients acquire resistance to the drug in a short period. Meanwhile, cholesterol is a precursor to androgen and its metabolism is dysregulated in PCa. In addition, cholesteryl ester (CE) accumulation aggravates tumor growth but its association with ENZ treatment has not been studied. Thus, we hypothesized that inhibition of CE formation by blockage of sterol-O-acyltransferase 1 (SOAT1) could enhance the response to ENZ. We found that SOAT1 mRNA is upregulated in clinical prostate tumors compared to normal/benign tissues in TCGA dataset. SOAT1 mRNA level was also highly correlated with AR expression in SU2CF/PCF cohorts and TCGA dataset, suggesting critical role of the cholesterol metabolism in prostate tumor progression and potential association to AR signaling pathway. We treated 22RV1 prostate cancer cells with ENZ in the presence or absence of SOAT1 inhibitor, avasimibe, and found the combination treatment effectively reduced the level of CEs compared to control, which accompanied inhibition of colony formation and cell proliferation. Combination index value was calculated and the relationship between the two drugs showed synergism. Furthermore, genetic knockdown of SOAT1 sensitized cells to ENZ treatment and also reduced the number of colonies formed. In TCGA dataset, patients who had previously undergone ADT were analyzed, and their Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed low SOAT1 expressing patients had a significantly longer progression-free survival rate than their counterpart, indicating that SOAT1 could act as a prognostic biomarker predicting PCa treatment outcome. Gene set enrichment analysis of patients with ADT history showed androgen response gen sets were enriched in high SOAT1 expressing PCa patient group. Inhibition of SOAT1 and the combination treatment did not change AR and ARV7 protein level, but downstream genes such as PSA were down regulated upon the combination treatment. In summary, our in vitro results showed blockage of SOAT1 enzyme sensitized PCa cells to ENZ treatment and analysis of PCa patient data suggested that SOAT1 gene expression has potential as a prognostic marker.

Abstract
During oxidative stress, degenerative diseases such as atherosclerosis, Alzheimer’s, and certain cancers are likely to develop. Recent research on canary seed (Phalaris canariensis) peptides has demonstrated the high in vitro antioxidant potential. Thus, this study aimed to assess the cellular and in vivo antioxidant capacity of a low-molecular-weight (<3 kDa) canary seed peptide fraction (CSPF) using Caco-2 cells and the Caenorhabditis elegans model. The results show that the CSPF had no cytotoxicity effect on Caco-2 cells at any tested concentration (0.3−2.5 mg/mL). Additionally, the cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) of the CSPF was concentration-dependent, and the highest activity achieved was 80% by the CSPF at 2.5 mg/mL. Similarly, incubation with the CSPF significantly mitigated the acute and chronic oxidative damage, extending the lifespan of the nematodes by 88 and 61%, respectively. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the CSPF reduced the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to safe levels after sub-lethal doses of pro-oxidant paraquat. Quantitative real-time PCR revealed that the CSPF increased the expression of oxidative-stress-response-related gene GST-4. Overall, these results show that the CSPFs relied on GST-4 upregulation and scavenging of free radicals to confer oxidative stress protection and suggest that a CSPF can be used as a natural antioxidant in foods for health applications.

Abstract
Cancer-associated cachexia (CAC) is the nutrition-independent loss of lean muscle and adipose tissues, and results in reduced chemotherapy effectiveness and increased mortality. Preventing adipose loss is considered a key target in the early stages of cachexia. Lipolysis is considered the central driver of adipose loss in CAC. We recently found that piceatannol, but not its analogue resveratrol, exhibits an inhibitory effect on lipolysis. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of piceatannol in cancer-associated lipolysis and cachexia-induced weight loss. Cancer cell-induced lipolysis in adipocytes was stimulated using cancer-conditioned media (CCM) or co-culture with human pancreatic cancer cells and the cachexia-associated cytokines TNF-α and interleukin-6 in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. C26 colon carcinoma-bearing mice were modeled using CAC in vivo. Piceatannol reduced cancer-associated lipolysis by at least 50% in both CCM and cytokine-induced lipolysis in vitro. Further gene and protein analysis confirmed that piceatannol modulated the stability of lipolytic proteins. Moreover, piceatannol protected tumor-bearing mice against weight-loss in early stages of CAC largely through preserving adipose tissue, with no effect on survival. This study demonstrates the use of a dietary compound to preserve adipose in models of early stage CAC and provides groundwork for further investigation of piceatannol or piceatannol-rich foods as alternative medicine in the preservation of body fat mass and future CAC therapy.

Abstract
Obesity caused by overnutrition is a major risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Several lipid intermediates such as fatty acids, glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids are implicated in NAFLD, but detailed characterization of lipids and their functional links to proteome and phosphoproteome remain to be elucidated. To characterize this complex molecular relationship, we used a multi-omics approach by conducting comparative proteomic, phoshoproteomic and lipidomic analyses of high fat (HFD) and low fat (LFD) diet fed mice livers. We quantified 2447 proteins and 1339 phosphoproteins containing 1650 class I phosphosites, of which 669 phosphosites were significantly different between HFD and LFD mice livers. We detected alterations of proteins associated with cellular metabolic processes such as small molecule catabolic process, monocarboxylic acid, long- and medium-chain fatty acid, and ketone body metabolic processes, and peroxisome organization. We observed a significant downregulation of protein phosphorylation in HFD fed mice liver in general. Untargeted lipidomics identified upregulation of triacylglycerols, glycerolipids and ether glycerophosphocholines and downregulation of glycerophospholipids, such as lysoglycerophospholipids, as well as ceramides and acylcarnitines. Analysis of differentially regulated phosphosites revealed phosphorylation dependent deregulation of insulin signaling as well as lipogenic and lipolytic pathways during HFD induced obesity. Thus, this study reveals a molecular connection between decreased protein phosphorylation and lipolysis, as well as lipid-mediated signaling in diet-induced obesity.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) increase the risk of comorbidity and mortality in coronary artery disease (CAD).
Objectives
We evaluate influence of PAD on prognosis in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods
We analyzed all consecutive patients included in our dedicated local registry for PCI between January 2011 and December 2016. Presence of PAD was defined by decreased ankle-brachial index (<0.9). Major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) was defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarct, revascularization, and ischemic stroke. Major bleeding was defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium 3 or 5.
Results
Among the 4,747 patients who underwent the PCI, 12.9% (n=610) of PAD were identified. Old age (>60 years), renal dysfunction, reduced ejection fraction, and presence of PAD were predictors with both MACE and major bleeding event. Among them, presence of PAD was an independent risk factor of MACE and major bleeding (MACE, HR 8.26, 95% CI 2.33- 29.41, p=0.036; major bleeding, HR 3.11, 95% CI 1.10–10.63, p=0.040, respectively). The MACE and major bleeding rate at 5-year was significantly increased in patients with PAD (MACE, 30.0% vs. 15.8%, log rank test p<0.001; major bleeding, 6.7 vs. 3.6%, log rank test p=0.003, respectively) (Figure).
Conclusion
Presence of PAD was strongly associated with higher rate of long-term MACE and major bleeding. These findings could have a clinical relevance in requiring individualized pharmacologic strategies to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
With advances in treatment of ischemic heart disease and cancer treatment, use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in cancer survivors and patients with active cancer (AC) is expanding.
Objectives
The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of cancer on survival and major cardiovascular events (MACE) in a long-term, single-center cohort of patients treated with PCI.
Methods
Patients treated with PCI between January 2010 and December 2017 were grouped as follows: controls (patients without cancer), stable cancer (SC), and AC. AC was included patients with cancer diagnosed within the past 6 months, patients who had cancer-related therapy within the past 6 months, active metastatic disease, or active recurrence of the cancer. The primary endpoints were 5-year survival and a secondary endpoint was 5-year MACE.
Results
A total of 6,743 patients (age 66±12 years, 68.4% men) treated with PCI were included: 6,404 (95.0%) controls, 245 (3.6%) SC, and 94 (1.4%) AC. Predominant malignancies were gastrointestinal (37.4%), lung (22.7%), and genitourinary cancer (14.7%). No differences were observed between patients with AC, SC and controls regarding 5-year MACE (total MACE, 33.2% vs. 28.1% vs. 17.5%, p=0.072; cardiac death, 13.6% vs. 9.1% vs. 6.7%, p=0.066; non-fatal myocardial infarction, 2.9% vs. 7.5% vs. 7.8%, p=0.820; revascularization, 17.9% vs. 17.6% vs. 11.6%, p=0.794, respectively). Patients with AC and SC had reduced 5-year survival compared with controls (62.0% vs. 81.5% vs. 89.8%, p<0.001) (Figure). AC was associated with a 1.76 (95% CI 1.22 to 2.54, p=0.002) fold increased risk of all-cause 5-year mortality in multivariable adjusted models.
Conclusions
Cumulative incidence of 5-year survival was discriminated by concurrent status of cancer following PCI. Individualized decision making is needed in the routine practice of PCI regarding concurrent cancer-specific treatment and prognosis.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferases (ACATs) catalyze the formation of cholesteryl ester (CE) from free cholesterol to regulate intracellular cholesterol homeostasis. Despite the well-documented role of ACATs in hypercholesterolemia and their emerging role in cancer and Alzheimer's disease, the role of ACATs in adipose lipid metabolism and obesity is poorly understood. Herein, we investigated the therapeutic potential of pharmacological inhibition of ACATs in obesity. METHODS We administrated avasimibe, an ACAT inhibitor, or vehicle to high-fat diet-induced obese (DIO) mice via intraperitoneal injection and evaluated adiposity, food intake, energy expenditure, and glucose homeostasis. Moreover, we examined the effect of avasimibe on the expressions of the genes in adipogenesis, lipogenesis, inflammation and adipose pathology in adipose tissue by real-time PCR. We also performed a pair feeding study to determine the mechanism for body weight lowering effect of avasimibe. RESULTS Avasimibe treatment markedly decreased body weight, body fat content and food intake with increased energy expenditure in DIO mice. Avasimibe treatment significantly lowered blood levels of glucose and insulin, and improved glucose tolerance in obese mice. The beneficial effects of avasimibe were associated with lower levels of adipocyte-specific genes in adipose tissue and the suppression of food intake. Using a pair-feeding study, we further demonstrated that avasimibe-promoted weight loss is attributed mainly to the reduction of food intake. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that avasimibe ameliorates obesity and its-related insulin resistance in DIO mice through, at least in part, suppression of food intake.

Abstract
Background Patients with advanced sarcomas have a poor prognosis and few treatment options that improve overall survival. We assessed the efficacy and tolerability of pemetrexed and cisplatin combination therapy in patients with refractory bone and soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Patients and Methods Patients were included in this multicenter, phase II study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03809637) if they progressed after receiving one or more chemotherapy regimens containing an anthracycline and/or ifosfamide. Pemetrexed was first administered intravenously, followed by cisplatin, over a cycle of 21 days, for a maximum of six cycles. The primary endpoint was a progression-free rate (PFR) at 3 months (3-month PFR). Results From January 2017 to September 2019, we enrolled 37 patients; of these, 73% had previously undergone three or more rounds of chemotherapy. Five patients (13.5%) exhibited objective responses, including two patients (2/6, 33.3%) with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, one patient (1/4, 25%) with synovial sarcoma, one patient (1/4, 25%) with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, and one patient (1/4, 25%) with angiosarcoma. The median progression-free survival was 2.6 months, and the 3-month PFR was 45.9% (n = 17). None of the four patients with osteosarcoma exhibited objective responses or were progression free at 3 months. The most frequent treatment-related grade 3-4 toxicities included neutropenia (16.2%), anemia (13.5%), thrombocytopenia (13.5%), and fatigue (8.1%). Among 26 patients (70.3%) available for immunohistochemical assessments, patients in the low-excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) and low-thymidylate synthase expression groups showed a tendency for longer overall survival. Conclusions Combination therapy with pemetrexed and cisplatin was associated with clinically meaningful and sustained responses among patients with advanced and refractory STS. The combination therapy met its predefined primary study endpoint. Pemetrexed and cisplatin show promising efficacy for advanced sarcoma treatment, particularly as a salvage therapy option. The combination therapy met its predefined primary endpoint, with a 3-month PFR of 45.9%. Pemetrexed and cisplatin showed acceptable toxicity in heavily treated sarcoma patients.

Abstract
Methylglyoxal is a highly reactive dicarbonyl compound. It can be obtained either endogenously through biological enzymatic/non-enzymatic pathways or exogenously via the uptake of certain foods and beverages, such as Manuka honey. Studies about its biological properties are quite controversial, though the majority reported a positive association between methylglyoxal and certain pathologies. In this report, we tested if methylglyoxal can alter the development of animals using Caenorhabditis elegans as the in vivo model. Treatment of methylglyoxal at 0.1 and 1 mmol/L for 2 days significantly inhibited the development of Caenorhabditis elegans, particularly targeting the transition from L3 stage. Pharyngeal pumping rate, the food intake marker was also significantly reduced by methylglyoxal at both 0.1 and 1 mmol/L. Additionally, treatment of 0.1 mmol/L methylglyoxal increased, while 1 mmol/L methylglyoxal decreased the nematodes' average moving speed. The effect of methylglyoxal on development was in part due to the modulation of lin-41, which encodes a homolog of human TRIM71. The mutation of lin-41 could alleviate or abolish the effects of methylglyoxal on growth rate, body size, pumping rate and locomotive activity. In summary, these results suggested that methylglyoxal influenced the development of Caenorhabditis elegans, which is in part via the lin-41-dependent pathway.

Abstract
The milling of highly flexible workpieces, such as thin-walled structures used in turbine blades, aerospace equipment, and jet engine compressors, requires vibration compensation to improve the quality of the workpiece surface. Vibration can be reduced by selecting appropriate cutting parameters. However, this approach reduces system productivity. This paper presents an active workpiece holder that controls the vibration of general computer numerical control machine tools. The proposed holder, which comprises a flexible guide mechanism, driver, and sensor, measures vibration and actively controls it using piezoactuators. A high-rigidity flexure mechanism was designed for the holder, and finite element method simulation and modal analysis were performed. Finally, the proposed system was fabricated, and experimental verification indicated that the system reduced vibration. The surface quality obtained using the controlled system was ∼50% better than that obtained using the uncontrolled system.

Abstract
Silicon nitrides, deposited by capacitively coupled plasma (CCP)-type plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD), are generally applied to today's nanoscale semiconductor devices, and are currently being investigated in terms of their potential applications in the context of flexible displays, etc. During the PEALD process, 13.56 MHz rf power is generally employed for the generation of reactive gas plasma. In this study, the effects of a higher plasma generation frequency of 162 MHz on both plasma and silicon nitride film characteristics are investigated for the purpose of silicon nitride PEALD, using bis(diethylamino)silane (BDEAS) as the silicon precursor, and N2 plasma as the reactant gas. The PEALD silicon nitride film deposited using the 162 MHz CCP exhibited improved film characteristics, such as reduced surface roughness, a lower carbon percentage, a higher N/Si ratio, a lower wet etch rate in a diluted HF solution, lower leakage current, and higher electric breakdown field, and more uniform step coverage of the silicon nitride film deposited in a high aspect ratio trench, as compared to silicon nitride PEALD using 13.56 MHz CCP. These improved PEALD silicon nitride film characteristics are believed to be related to the higher ion density, higher reactive gas dissociation, and lower ion bombardment energy to the substrate observed in N2 plasma with a 162 MHz CCP.

Abstract
PURPOSE Azelaic acid (AzA) is a dicarboxylic acid naturally occurring in various grains having anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation properties. Recently, AzA is shown to reduce high-fat diet-induced adiposity in animals. However, its physiological role in lipid metabolism and aging in various environmental stresses is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Using C. elegans as an invertebrate animal model, we demonstrate that AzA suppresses fat accumulation with no effect on lifespan at normal temperatures. Moreover, AzA promotes lifespan at low temperatures by elevation of unsaturated long-chain fatty acids and expression of genes in fatty acid desaturation. We further find that genes encoding fatty acid desaturases such as fat-1, fat-5, fat-6, and fat-7 are crucial for the lifespan-extending effect of AzA at low temperature. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, our results suggest that AzA promotes adaption to low temperature in C. elegans via shifting fatty acid profile to unsaturated long-chain fatty acids.

Abstract
Glycolytic potential (GP) calculated based on glucose, glycogen, glucose-6-phosphate, and lactate contents is a critical factor for multiple meat quality characteristics. However, the genetic basis of glycolytic metabolism is still unclear. In this study, we constructed six RNA-Seq libraries using longissimus dorsi (LD) muscles from pigs divergent for GP phenotypic values and generated the whole genome-wide gene expression profiles. Furthermore, we identified 25,880 known and 220 novel genes from these skeletal muscle libraries, and 222 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the higher and lower GP groups. Notably, we found that the Lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) and Fructose-2, 6-biphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3) expression levels were higher in the higher GP group than the lower GP group, and positively correlated with GP and lactic acid (LA), and reversely correlated with pH value at 45 min postmortem (pH45min). Besides, LDHB and PFKFB3 expression were positively correlated with drip loss measured at 48 h postmortem (DL48h) and drip loss measured at 24 h postmortem (DL24h). Collectively, we identified a serial of DEGs as the potential key candidate genes affecting GP and found that LDHB and PFKFB3 are closely related to GP and GP-related traits. Our results lay a solid basis for in-depth studies of the regulatory mechanisms on GP and GP-related traits in pigs.

Abstract
Overly active acyl-coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferases (ACATs) are known to contribute to the development of atherosclerosis, cancer cell proliferation and de novo lipogenesis. However, the role of ACAT in systemic lipid metabolism and its consequence of aging is unknown. Using avasimibe, a clinically proven ACAT inhibitor, and mboa-1 mutant strain, a homologous to mammalian ACAT, herein, we found that Ava treatment and mboa-1 mutant exhibited a decreased fat accumulation during feeding and increased lipolysis with extended lifespan of C. elegans during fasting. Our study highlights the essential role of ACAT inhibitor and mboa-1 in fat mobilization and the survival of C. elegans in fasting through the modulation of the genes involved in lipolysis and insulin/IGF-1 signaling.

Abstract
Butein, a flavonoid found in annatto seeds and lacquer trees, may be used for many health benefits, including the prevention of obesity. However, its anti-obesity effects are not completely understood; in particular, the effects of butein on the regulation of lipid metabolism have not been explained. Thus, the goal of the current study was to determine the effects of butein on lipid metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans, which is a multi-organ nematode used as an animal model in obesity research. Butein at 70 μM reduced triglyceride content by 27% compared to the control without altering food intake and energy expenditure. The reduced triglyceride content by butein was associated with the downregulation of sbp-1, fasn-1, and fat-7, the lipogenesis-related homologs of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, fatty acid synthase and stearoyl-CoA desaturase, respectively. Furthermore, fat-7 and skn-1, a homolog of nuclear respiratory factors, were identified as genetic requirements for butein's effects on triglyceride content in C. elegans. The effects of butein on sbp-1 and fasn-1 were dependent on skn-1, but the downregulation of fat-7 was independent of skn-1. These results suggest that the inhibitory effects of butein on lipogenesis are via SKN-1- and FAT-7-dependent pathways in C. elegans.

Abstract
Obesity is often accompanied by metabolic changes in adipocytes that are closely associated with metabolic disease. Although high sugar consumption contributes to obesity, it may also directly affect adipocytes by increasing the rate of glycolysis and formation of the glycolytic by-product methylglyoxal (MG). MG is a reactive dicarbonyl that irreversibly damages proteins and other cellular components. Although the accumulation of MG is clinically associated with hyperglycemia and diabetic complications, a better understanding of how proteins are regulated by MG is needed to evaluate its role in the pathogenesis of metabolic disease. Because adipocytes rely heavily on glycolysis for glucose disposal, we hypothesized that prolonged MG treatment at nontoxic concentrations would impact the landscape of proteins involved in glucose metabolism. To test this hypothesis, we treated 3T3-L1 adipocytes with MG (100 μmol/L) and used comparative proteomics to assess the effects. We identified 25 differentially expressed proteins in adipocytes treated with MG compared to the control. Our results suggested that MG induced metabolic changes typically associated with aerobic glycolysis, including a lowered expression of proteins involved in oxidative metabolism and increased expression of the glycolytic enzymes L-lactate dehydrogenase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The detection of increased lactate secreted into the culture media of adipocytes treated with MG further supported these findings, as did gene expression analysis. In summary, these results indicate MG as a metabolic contributor to aerobic glycolysis in adipocytes, a potential adaptive response to increased glucose flux which over time could lead to permanent metabolic changes.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Azelaic acid (AzA), a naturally occurring α, ω-dicarboxylic acid in wheat, rye, barley and sorghum, has been reported to exert anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation property. AzA has long been used as an antiacne drug by inhibiting bacterial DNA synthesis. Recently, its role in reducing high fat diet-induced adiposity through activation of olfactory receptor 544 has been reported. However, its physiological role in environmental stress (e.g., fasting and cold) and aging is unknown.
Methods
We conducted PCR analysis and lifespan assay under multiple stress conditions (fasting, cold, and oxidative stress) using C. elegans
Results
Using C. elegans as an invertebrate animal model, we demonstrate that AzA treatment resulted in a significant extension of the survival under cold and oxidative stressed condition with no effects on the pumping rates, locomotive activities and growth rate. This was accompanied by a marked increase in expression of fatty acid desaturases genes, such as fat-1, fat-5 and fat-7, with a decrease in lipolysis related genes such as aak-2 and atgl-1. Moreover, the effect of AzA on the survival under cold condition was abolished in the fat-1, fat-5, fat-7 and aak-2 mutants.
Conclusions
Taken together, our results suggested that azelaic acid contributes to lifespan extension at low temperature in C. elegans through augmentation of unsaturated fatty acid synthesis.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Lipolysis is the catabolic process that hydrolyzes triglyceride (TG) to free fatty acids (FFAs) and glycerol under negative energy balance such as fasting. In adipocytes, adipose TG lipase (ATGL), hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), and monoglyceride lipase play key roles in a series of TG hydrolysis reactions in mammals. However, overly activated adipose lipolysis is believed to contribute to link between obesity and systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. We previously demonstrated that piceatannol (PIC), a natural resveratrol analogue, inhibits adipogenesis in cultured adipocytes and lipogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans. Furthermore, we showed that PIC extends the lifespan of C. elegans via the insulin/IGF-1 signaling. However, the effects of PIC on lipid metabolism during fasting state is unknown.
Methods
We conducted Oil-Red-O assay, Enzyme assay (TG and Free glycerol contents), PCR analysis and lifespan assay.
Results
In this study, we demonstrated that PIC-treated C. elegans exhibited suppressed lipolysis under fasting as judged by increased lipid accumulation and TG levels with decreased free glycerol level. Consistent with these findings, PIC treatment resulted in decreased mRNA levels of genes involved lipolysis such as atgl-1, hosl-1 and aak-2 in fasted C. elegans. Also, PIC treatment augmented fasting-induced lifespan of C. elegans by an increased daf-16 gene expression. However, such effect was abolished when atgl-1, aak-2, and daf-16 mutants were treated with PIC. In addition, we also found that autophagy is required for PIC-induced lifespan in C. elegans during fasting since autophagy inhibitor treatments and autophagy gene deficient worms resulted in blunting the lifespan extension effect of PIC.
Conclusions
Collectively, our results indicate that PIC contributes to lifespan extension in C. elegans during fasting possibly through regulating lipolysis- and/or autophagy-dependent lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which affects over 20% of the adult population, is the most common liver disease worldwide and can progress to inflammatory hepatitis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The need to alleviate NAFLD is imperative, but there are limited pharmacological therapies available. Based on previous reports that piceatannol, a stilbenoid metabolite of resveratrol, exhibits anti-obesity, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, the goal of this study was to determine the efficacy of piceatannol on prevention and/or treatment of NAFLD. The results showed that piceatannol significantly decreased fat accumulation and suppressed lipogenesis and fatty acids (FAs) uptake by decreasing sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1) and cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) in steatosis-induced HepG2 hepatocytes. Piceatannol treatment also promoted FAs β-oxidation by increasing farnesoid X receptor (FXR), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1α (CPT1α) under steatosis conditions. Moreover, piceatannol significantly suppressed FA-induced oxidative stress and inhibited phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2). Overall, it is suggested that piceatannol reduced fat accumulation in steatosis-induced HepG2 cells by suppressing lipogenesis (SREBP1 and ACC) and FA uptake (CD36), and promoting FAs oxidation (FXR, PPARα and CPT1α).

Abstract
The aim of this study was, firstly, to evaluate the phenol profile of thistle (Cirsium japonicum, CJ) by High performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS), dried by different methods (90 °C hot-air, 70 °C hot-air, shade-, and freeze-drying). Secondly, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between phenolic compounds content and antioxidant properties. CJ contained chlorogenic acid, linarin, and pectolinarin. Total phenolic contents of CJ significantly decreased under hot-air-drying condition, especially chlorogenic acid contents in CJ have been reduced by 85% and 60% for 90 °C and 70 °C hot-air-drying, respectively. We evaluated the protective effect on adrenal pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells and Caenorhabditis elegans using shade-dried CJ, which has the largest phenolic contents and the strongest antioxidant property. CJ-treated PC 12 cells dose-dependently exhibited the protective effects against reactive oxygen species (ROS), while cell viability increases, lactate dehydrogenase release decreases, and ROS formation decreases. Furthermore, CJ has also shown protection against ROS in C. elegans. Consequently, CJ contributed to lifespan extension under ROS stress without influencing the physiological growth.

Abstract
PURPOSE Historically, atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with an increased risk of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). However, uncertainty remained regarding the effect of AD itself and comorbidities (e.g., allergic diseases, cataract surgery) on RRD occurrence in a large, population-based paediatric population. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analysed the 12-year National Health Insurance Service database (2002-2013) covering the entire Korean population to estimate the association between AD and RRD in people aged under 20 years. RESULTS We identified 3142 RRD patients, and matched 18,852 controls (six controls to each RRD patient); therefore, we included 21,994 peoples under aged 20 years in the analyses. AD was more prevalent in the RRD group (329 patients, 10.47%) than the control group (1043 patients, 5.53%; P < 0.001), and so were severe AD (153 patients [4.87%] and 223 patients [1.18%], respectively; P < 0.001). In conditional logistic regression analysis, AD was associated with RRD (OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.93-1.87) even after adjusting for allergic conditions, connective tissue disease, uveitis, and cataract surgery. In addition, severity of AD was associated with an increased risk of RRD (OR for non-severe AD and severe AD, 1.26 [95% CI, 1.05-1.51] and 2.88 [95% CI, 2.25-3.68]). CONCLUSION This study suggests that AD itself is a risk factor of RRD in children by showing the association between AD and RRD occurrence and the biologic gradient even after adjustment for known confounders including allergic conditions, uveitis, and cataract surgery.

Abstract
In recent years, precision stages, which are widely used in many industrial fields, have been required to have a higher speed, larger size, and higher precision to help realize higher productivity and product quality. High-performance positioning techniques for inspection and production equipment are classified as one of the most challenging technologies. Vibration control is crucial to realize high-precision positioning technologies. In a precision system, various vibrations exist, which act as disturbances and can degrade the system performance. Minimizing the vibrations generated by the system can, thus, help improve the accuracy of system positioning. This paper proposes a hybrid active mount module for a precision stage. The developed module improves stage performance by reducing the base vibration arising from the floor, minimizing the vibration caused by the driving linear motors of the precision stage, and reducing the settling time by compensating the offset displacement due to the nonlinearity of the passive mount during stage driving. The prototype design is presented herein, and the experimental results demonstrate the potential of the developed device. The developed system is expected to effectively improve the stage performance by controlling the various causes of vibration.

Abstract
Trans-polyacetylene [t-(CH)_{x}] possesses twofold ground state degeneracy. Using the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger Hamiltonian, scientists predicted charged solitons to be the primary photoexcitations in t-(CH)_{x}; this prediction, however, has led to sharp debate. To resolve this saga, we use subpicosecond transient photomodulation spectroscopy in the mid-IR spectral range (0.1-1.5 eV) in neat t-(CH)_{x} thin films. We show that odd-parity singlet excitons are the primary photoexcitations in t-(CH)_{x}, similar to many other nondegenerate π-conjugated polymers. The exciton transitions are characterized by two photoinduced absorption (PA) bands at 0.38 and 0.6 eV, and an associated photoluminescence band at ∼1.5 eV having similar polarization memory. The primary excitons undergo internal conversion within ∼100 fs to an even-parity (dark) singlet exciton with a PA band at ∼1.4 eV. We also find ultrafast photogeneration of charge polarons when pumping deep into the polymer continuum band, which are characterized by two other PA bands in the mid-IR and associated photoinduced IR vibrational modes.

Abstract
Background Women has lower prevalence of coronary artery disease but has higher mortality from acute myocardial infarction. The gender difference in the anatomical-physiological relationship may elucidate the gender difference in the clinical presentation of coronary artery disease.
Purpose
We hypothesized that the gender difference in the anatomical-physiological relationship may elucidate the gender difference in the clinical presentation of coronary artery disease.
Background Women has lower prevalence of coronary artery disease but has higher mortality from acute myocardial infarction. The gender difference in the anatomical-physiological relationship may elucidate the gender difference in the clinical presentation of coronary artery disease.
Methods In this multicenter registry, 482 patients who underwent coronary CT angiography and fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement were enrolled. Fractional myocardial mass (FMM, a vessel-specific amount of myocardium) and %FMM (fraction of FMM to whole myocardial mass) was measured in major coronary arteries and branches. FFR and quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) were interrogated in the subset of 772 vessels. The severity of physiological or anatomical stenosis was assessed by FFR and diameter stenosis (DS), respectively.
Results In the analysis of all major epicardial arteries (N = 3,833), FMM was lower in women compared to men (p < 0.01, all), but %FMM was similar between women and men (p = NS, all). Among physiologically assessed 772 vessels, compared to men (N = 587), vessels of women (N = 185) showed smaller dimension (reference diameter (RD) = 2.90 ± 0.65 vs 3.14 ± 0.69 mm, minimal luminal diameter (MLD) = 1.30±.0.57 vs 1.40 ± 0.57 mm (p < 0.05, all), similar severity of stenosis (DS = 55% vs 55% p = NS), and higher FFR (0.81 ± 0.13 vs 0.78 ± 0.15, p < 0.001). In subgroup analysis according to the tertiary categories of DS, RD, and MLD, vessels of women showed higher FFR and lower FMM. Generalized estimating equations modeling demonstrated that gender, DS, RD, MLD, and location in left anterior descending artery were not (p = NS, all) but FMM/MLD were significant predictors for FFR ≤ 0.80 (p = 0.021).
Conclusions
Compared to men, coronary arteries of women are smaller and supply smaller amount of myocardium even after adjusting for vessel size, which may explain overall higher FFR value of women. This gender difference in anatomical-physiological relationship may explain the gender difference in the clinical coronary artery disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims The burden of coronary artery disease has been assessed by various semi-quantitative angiographic scores, which are frequently different each other. A non-invasive and quantitative modality may substitute angiographic sores for prognostic implication and decision of revascularization strategy. We compared fractional myocardial mass (FMM) with angiographic scores for predicting myocardial ischemia.
Methods In this multicenter registry, 411 patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) were followed by invasive coronary angiography and FFR measurement. CCTA–derived %FMM with diameter stenosis ≥70% (%FMM-70) or ≥50% (%FMM-50) were compared with 9 angiographic scores (APPROACH, Duke Jeopardy, BARI, CASS, SYNTAX, Jenkins, BCIS-1, Leaman, Modified Duke) and were tested regarding their performance for predicting FFR ≤ 0.80. Predictive performance of %FMM or angiographic scores for FFR ≤ 0.80 established in derivation cohort (N = 250) and tested in validation cohort (N = 161).
Results The performance of %FMM-70 and %FMM-50 were similar to most angiographic scores (%FMM-70, c-statistics = 0.76; %FMM-50, 0.71; angiographic scores, 0.68 – 0.79). The frequency of FFR ≤ 0.80 increased consistently according to %FMM-70, %FMM-50, and all angiographic scores (p < 0.001, all). The optimal cutoff of %FMM-50 and %FMM-70 for FFR ≤ 0.80 were ≥34.5% and ≥9.8%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of %FMM-50 were 83%, 56%, 73%, 70%, 72%, and of %FMM-70 were 72%, 78%, 75%, 75%, and 75% using these cutoffs. Validation cohort showed consistent results.
Conclusion %FMM correlated well with angiographic scores and had a potential to be used as a non-invasive alternative to the angiographic scores. The integration of the severity of stenosis and the amount of subtended myocardium may improve the detection of clinically significant coronary artery stenosis.

Background/Introduction: Pathophysiology of aortic stenosis (AS) and several previous studies suggested the potential role of angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) in patients with AS.
Purpose
We aimed to investigate the effects of Fimasartan, an ARB, on exercise capacity and progression of AS in patients with moderate to severe AS.
Methods
We conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 32 normotensive or controlled-hypertensive patients with moderate or severe AS. Study participants were randomized to Fimasartan 30 mg to 60 mg daily (n = 14) or placebo (n = 18) for 1 year, and underwent cardiopulmonary exercise test, 6-minute walk test, and echocardiography at 0, 6, and 12 months, with follow-up data available in 29 subjects.
Results
Significant reductions in blood pressures were observed in the Fimasartan group but not in the placebo group. Two of the 14 patients in the Fimasartan group withdrew the study due to mild symptoms probably related with the decreased blood pressure, and one patient decline the study protocol. After the 12-month treatment, the peak oxygen consumption (VO2; the primary outcome) in the Fimasartan group was significantly decreased (from 28.3 ± 5.9 to 25.4 ± 3.8 mL/min/kg, P = 0.021) but not in the placebo group (P for interaction = 0.046) (Figure 1A). The severity of AS showed a gradual progression in both groups, without inter-group differences (mean transaortic pressure; Fimasartan group, +4.0 ± 3.8 mmHg/year; placebo group, +5.3 ± 6.2 mmHg/year; P for interaction = 0.429) (Figure 1B). Parameters of left ventricular systolic and diastolic function did not change in both groups.
Conclusions
The use of ARB impaired exercise capacity in patients with moderate or severe AS, and did not prevent the progression of AS. However, due to the small number of participants, further studies are required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Background
Left atrial global longitudinal strain (LA GLS) by 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography is a useful tool to assess LA function and left ventricular (LV) diastolic function. The authors assessed prognostic value of LA GLS, and other diastolic functional parameters in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Methods
A total of 78 (49 male) patients undergoing hemodialysis who checked echocardiography due to heart failure (HF) symptoms were included for this analysis. Echocardiography wasperformed at the same day of, and before hemodialysis session. Besides conventional echocardiographic measurements, GLS of the LA and the LV were checked and compared. Incidence of rehospitalization due to HF symptoms during mean follow up duration of 381.4±197.5 days was investigated and echocardiographic parameters were compared between patients who experienced rehospitalization and who did not.
Results
16 (20.1%) patients experienced rehospitalization due to HF. HF rehospitalization group had significantly low baseline LV ejection fraction (55.7±7.2 vs. 61.3±7.1%, p=0.006) and LV GLS (14.7±3.4 vs. 18.2±3.9%, p=0.002), while LV geometry (LV end-diastolic volume index and LV wall thickness) did not show significant differences. In HF rehospitalization group, baseline LA function and diastolic function were significantly impaired as reflected by LA GLS (18.8±2.6 vs. 23.8±3.6%, p<0.001), E/E' ratio (20.8±3.3 vs. 15.8±4.6%, p<0.001), and right ventricular systolic pressure (61.4±9.6 vs. 53.4±12.8%, p=0.022). LA end-systolic volume index was not significantly different between the 2 groups. Among various echocardiographic parameters, receiver operation characteristic curve analysis revealed that LA GLS had the strongest power (cutoff value 20.6%, sensitivity 0.813 and specificity 0.790, area under curve 0.849) in prediction of future rehospitalization due to HF.
Predictor of future HF: ROC analysis
Conclusions
The present study demonstrated that functional changes of the LA as measured by LA GLS before hemodialysis session can be used as an echocardiographic parameter to predict future rehospitalization due to HF. Further studies are required to evaluate prognostic value of LA function in predicting other cardiovascular events in hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Regardless of diabetes mellitus (DM), admission hyperglycemia is not uncommon in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). Although DM is a well-known predictor of mortality in AHF, the impacts of admission hyperglycemia on clinical outcomes in non-DM patients with AHF have been poorly studied. The aim of this study, therefore, was to compare the impact of admission hyperglycemia on long-term clinical outcomes in AHF patients with or without DM.
Methods
Among 5,625 AHF patients enrolled in a nationwide registry, a total of 5,541 patients were enrolled and divided into 2 groups; DM group (n=2,125, 70.4±11.4 years) vs. non-DM group (n=3,416, 67.3±16.0 years). Each group were further divided into 2 groups according to the presence of admission hyperglycemia (admission serum glucose level >200mg/dl); admission hyperglycemia (n=248) and no hyperglycemia (n=3,168) in non-DM; admission hyperglycemia (n=799) and no hyperglycemia (n=1,326) in DM. All-cause death and hospitalization due to HF (HHF) during 1-year follow-up were compared.
Results
Death was developed in 1,220 patients (22.2%) including 269 inhospital deaths (4.9%) during 1-year of follow-up. Death rate were significantly higher in DM than in non-DM group (24.8% vs 20.5%, p<0.001), however there was no difference in inhospital death (5.1% vs 4.7%, p=0.534). Both inhospital death (7.6% vs. 4.2%, p<0.001) and 1-year death (26.2% vs. 21.3%, p=0.001) were more frequent in AHF patients with hyperglycemia. On Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis, however, admission hyperglycemia was associated with significantly higher death (p<0.001 by log-rank test) and rehospitalization (p=0.006 by log-rank test) in non-DM group, but not in DM group. In non-DM group, admission hyperglycemia was an independent predictor of 1-year mortality (HR 1.46, 95% CI 1.10–1.93, p=0.009).
Conclusion
DM was a significant predictor of long-term mortality in patients with AHF. Admission hyperglycemia was associated with both higher inhospital and 1-year mortality. The present study also demonstrated that admission hyperglycemia is an independent predictor of mortality in non-DM patients with AHF, but not in DM patients. In addition to the presence of DM, admission hyperglycemia would be a useful marker in the risk stratification of AHF, especially in non-DM patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) is a well-known fatal complication of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), but the impact of cardiac abnormalities on the occurrence of HSOS has been poorly evaluated. Therefore, the authors investigated whether the structural changes or dysfunction of the heart before HCT is associated with the future occurrence of HSOS.
Methods
A total of 92 patients who underwent HCT were divided into 2 groups; HSOS group (n=11, 6 males, 53.8±15.9 years) vs no HSOS group (n=81, 51 males, 48.6±14.7 years). According to the modified Seattle criteria, HSOS was defined as otherwise unexplained occurrence of 2 or more of the following events within 20 days of HCT; serum total bilirubin >2 mg/dL, hepatomegaly or right upper quadrant pain, sudden weight gain due to fluid accumulation (>2% of baseline body weight). Echocardiography examinations were performed 1 month before HCT, and echocardiographic findings were compared between the groups.
Results
HSOS was developed in 11 patients (12.0%). HSOS group had significantly larger left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) (65.2±4.9 vs 53.2±6.9 ml/m2, p<0.001) and relatively worse systolic function than no HSOS group (LV ejection fraction: 56.4±3.4 vs 65.1±5.9%, p<0.001, LV global longitudinal strain: −17.9±1.4 vs −20.1±2.0%, p=0.001). LV diastolic functional parameters were also significantly worse in HSOS group than in no HSOS group (E/E' ratio: 11.3±1.8 vs 9.1±2.0, p=0.002, left atrial global longitudinal strain: 27.7±3.3 vs 34.9±5.9%, p<0.001). However, left atrial volume index was not different between the groups (30.8±2.8 vs 29.0±3.3 ml/m2, p=0.078). By receiver operation characteristic curve analysis, among significantly different variables, LVEDVI was the most powerful predictor for HSOS, and the optimal cutoff value was 59.25 mL/m2. (81.8% sensitivity and 77.8% specificity, AUC 0.909).
Predictor of HSOS: ROC analysis
Conclusions
The present study demonstrated that structural changes or dysfunction of the heart are more prevalent in patients with HSOS after HCT and larger LVEDVI, among them, can be a useful predictor of upcoming HSOS. Routine echocardiographic study before HCT would be useful to identify high risk group for HSOS, and the development of HSOS should be carefully monitored in HCT patients with cardiac structural changes or dysfunction on echocardiography.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rarely reported complication of multiple myeloma (MM). PH of MM is usually mild to moderate and can be secondary to a variety of conditions, including left ventricular dysfunction, diastolic dysfunction, chronic heart failure, treatment-related toxicity, thrombophilic condition and precapillary involvement. However, only few reports regarding PH in MM incidence and prognosis exist up to now.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors of transthoracic echocardiography-defined PH and its impact on clinical outcome in patients with MM.
Methods
A total of 277 MM patients was included and divided into 2 groups–those non-pulmonary hypertension (PH) or those with PH, based on the results of the transthoracic echocardiography (TTE); PH group (n=143, 60.9±9.2 years, 68 males) versus non-PH group (n=134, 55.9±11.5 years, 72 males). We analyzed propensity score matching and multiple imputation method were used to deal with the missing data in echocardiographic characteristics.
Results
During the follow-up period (median 618 days), all-cause death occurred in 79 (28.5%) patients and 41 patients (14.8%) died from cardiovascular causes (including acute decompensated heart failure, fatal MI, sudden cardiac arrest). In the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of crude population and propensity-matched population, cumulative overall survival and cardiovascular death (CVD)-free survival were significantly lower in the PH group than in the non-PH group (p<0.001). In propensity-matched population, estimated pulmonary artery pressure >35mmHg in TTE, congestive heart failure, and DM were significant independent predictors of all-cause death.
KM curves in MM stratified by PH
Conclusion
This study demonstrates that the presence of PH, congestive heart failure, and DM is an independent prognostic factor for all-cause death in MM patients with MM. These results highlight the risk associated cardiovascular disease in MM patients and emphasize that management strategies that prevent deterioration of cardiac function are essential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint blockade with Programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 inhibitors has been effective in various malignancies and is considered as a standard treatment modality for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, emerging evidence show that PD-1/PD-L1 blockade can lead to hyperprogressive disease (HPD), a flair-up of tumor growth linked to dismal prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of HPD and identify the determinants associated with HPD in patients with NSCLC treated with PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled patients with recurrent and/or metastatic NSCLC treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors between April 2014 and November 2018. Clinicopathologic variables, dynamics of tumor growth, and treatment outcomes were analyzed in patients with NSCLC who received PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. HPD was defined according to tumor growth kinetics (TGK), tumor growth rate (TGR), and time to treatment failure (TTF). Immunophenotyping of peripheral blood CD8+ T lymphocytes was conducted to explore the potential predictive biomarkers of HPD. RESULTS A total of 263 patients were analyzed. HPD was observed in 55 (20.9%), 54 (20.5%), and 98 (37.3%) patients according to the TGK, TGR, and TTF. HPD meeting both TGK and TGR criteria was associated with worse progression-free survival [hazard ratio (HR) 4.619; 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.868-7.440] and overall survival (HR, 5.079; 95% CI, 3.136-8.226) than progressive disease without HPD. There were no clinicopathologic variables specific for HPD. In the exploratory biomarker analysis with peripheral blood CD8+ T lymphocytes, a lower frequency of effector/memory subsets (CCR7-CD45RA- T cells among the total CD8+ T cells) and a higher frequency of severely exhausted populations (TIGIT+ T cells among PD-1+CD8+ T cells) were associated with HPD and inferior survival rate. CONCLUSION HPD is common in NSCLC patients treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. Biomarkers derived from rationally designed analysis may successfully predict HPD and worse outcomes, meriting further investigation of HPD.

Abstract
To reduce the possibility of cardiac tamponade, a rare but lethal complication of central venous catheters, the tip of the central venous catheter should be located above the cephalic limit of the pericardial reflection, not only above the superior vena cava-right atrium junction. This study was performed to measure the superior vena cava lengths above and below the pericardial reflection in cardiac surgical patients. Cardiac surgical patients (n=61; 27 male), whose age [mean±SD (range)] was 47±15 (15–75) years, were studied. The intrapericardial and extrapericardial lengths, and the length of the medial duplicated part were measured separately. The whole vertical lengths of the superior vena cava on either side were calculated respectively by adding the intra-and extrapericardial and medial duplication lengths. The lateral extrapericardial was 29.1±6.5 (Mean±SD) (9–49) mm (range), and lateral extrapericardial length was 32.6±6.9 (20–53) mm. The medial extrapericardial length was 23.3±5.0 (11–39) mm, medical duplicated length was 7.2±3.3 (4–20) mm, and medial intrapericardial was 28.3±7.0 (20–52) mm. The averaged superior vena cava length of both sides was 60.3±9.0 (44.5–90) mm. Almost half of the superior vena cava was found to be within the pericardium and half out. This information may be helpful in deciding how far a central venous catheter should be withdrawn beyond the superior vena cava-right atrial junction during right atrial electrocardiographic guided insertion, and in the prediction of optimal central venous catheter insertion depth.

Abstract
The conversion of preadipocytes to adipocytes (adipogenesis) is a potential target to treat or prevent obesity. Selenate, an inorganic form of selenium, elicits diverse health benefits, mainly through its incorporation into selenoproteins. The individual roles of selenium and certain selenoproteins have been reported. However, the effects of selenate treatment on selenoproteins in adipocytes are unclear. In this study, the effects of selenate pretreatment on selenoprotein and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress during adipogenesis were examined in vitro. The selenate pretreatment dose-dependently suppressed the adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. The selenate pretreatment at 50 μM for 24 h almost completely suppressed adipogenesis without cytotoxic effects. The expression of the adipogenic genes peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, CCAAT-enhancer binding protein alpha, and leptin was suppressed by selenate. This pretreatment also upregulated selenoprotein S (SEPS1), an ER resident selenoprotein that reduces ER stress, and prevented dexamethasone-induced SEPS1 degradation during the early stage of adipogenesis. The selenate-inhibited adipogenesis was associated with an attenuation of ER stress. The expression of the ER stress marker genes was upregulated during the early stage of differentiation, whereas the selenate pretreatment suppressed the mRNA expression of the XBP1 and C/EBP homologous protein. The collective data suggest a preventive role of selenate and SEPS1 in adipogenesis, and support a novel dietary approach to prevent obesity.

Abstract
Whether or not epitaxially grown superconducting films have the same bulk-like superconducting properties is an important concern. We report the structure and the electronic properties of epitaxially grown Ba(Fe1-x Co x )2As2 films using scanning tunneling microscopy and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). This film showed a different surface structure, [Formula: see text]R45° reconstruction, from those of as-cleaved surfaces from bulk crystals. The electronic structure of the grown film is different from that in bulk, and it is notable that the film exhibits the same superconducting transport properties. We found that the superconducting gap at the surface is screened at the Ba layer surface in STS measurements, and the charge density wave was observed at the surface in sample in the superconducting state.
