Abstract
In a recent stereotactic body radiation therapy animal model, radiation pneumonitis and radiation pulmonary fibrosis were observed at around 2 and 6 weeks, respectively. However, the molecular signature of this model remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the molecular characteristics at these two stages using RNA-seq analysis. Transcriptomic profiling revealed distinct transcriptional patterns for each stage. Inflammatory response and immune cell activation were involved in both stages. Cell cycle processes and response to type II interferons were observed during the inflammation stage. Extracellular matrix organization and immunoglobulin production were noted during the fibrosis stage. To investigate the impact of a 10 Gy difference on fibrosis progression, doses of 45, 55, and 65 Gy were tested. A dose of 65 Gy was selected and compared with 75 Gy. The 65 Gy dose induced inflammation and fibrosis as well as the 75 Gy dose, but with reduced lung damage, fewer inflammatory cells, and decreased collagen deposition, particularly during the inflammation stage. Transcriptomic analysis revealed significant overlap, but differences were observed and clarified in Gene Ontology and KEGG pathway analysis, potentially influenced by changes in interferon-gamma-mediated lipid metabolism. This suggests the suitability of 65 Gy for future preclinical basic and pharmaceutical research connected with radiation-induced lung injury.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the importance of additional cranial magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) in non-traumatic headache patients with a prior negative head computed tomography (CT) examination within 1 month. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study analysed 162 adult patients with non-traumatic headache who underwent cMRI within 1 month of a negative initial head CT at the emergency department (ED). The diagnostic yield and false-referral rate were analysed according to the revisit duration (early [≤1 week] versus late [>1-4 weeks] revisits), patient care settings (ED versus outpatient clinics [OPC]), and clinical variables. Subsequent patient management change (PMC), such as admission and treatment (AT) or outpatient clinic treatment (OT), were also investigated. RESULTS The overall diagnostic yield of cMRI was 17.3% (28/162) and the false-referral rate was 1.2% (2/162). The diagnostic yield of cMRI was significantly different according to the patient care settings (ED, 24.7% [21/85] versus OPC, 9.1% [7/77]; p=0.02). The diagnostic yield was highest in the ED-early-revisit group (25.4% [18/71]), 45% (9/20) in those with systemic signs, and 46.7% (14/30) in those with symptom change. Among patients with positive cMRI findings, 90% (27/30) received AT and 3.3% (1/30) received OT. Among OPC-revisit-negative cMRI patients, PMC occurred in 0% (0/50). CONCLUSION The diagnostic yield of cMRI was relatively high for headache patients who revisited the ED earlier, especially in those with systemic signs or symptom change. Most positive cMRI cases experienced PMC. Negative cMRI in OPC-revisit patients might help clarify the benign nature of a condition.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate deep learning-based segmentation models for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) using CT and MRI with nnU-Net. METHODS This single-center retrospective study included 91 patients with OPSCC. The patients were grouped into the development (n = 56), test 1 (n = 13), and test 2 (n = 22) cohorts. In the development cohort, OPSCC was manually segmented on CT, MR, and co-registered CT-MR images, which served as the ground truth. The multimodal and multichannel input images were then trained using a self-configuring nnU-Net. For evaluation metrics, dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and mean Hausdorff distance (HD) were calculated for test cohorts. Pearson's correlation and Bland-Altman analyses were performed between ground truth and prediction volumes. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) of radiomic features were calculated for reproducibility assessment. RESULTS All models achieved robust segmentation performances with DSC of 0.64 ± 0.33 (CT), 0.67 ± 0.27 (MR), and 0.65 ± 0.29 (CT-MR) in test cohort 1 and 0.57 ± 0.31 (CT), 0.77 ± 0.08 (MR), and 0.73 ± 0.18 (CT-MR) in test cohort 2. No significant differences were found in DSC among the models. HD of CT-MR (1.57 ± 1.06 mm) and MR models (1.36 ± 0.61 mm) were significantly lower than that of the CT model (3.48 ± 5.0 mm) (p = 0.037 and p = 0.014, respectively). The correlation coefficients between the ground truth and prediction volumes for CT, MR, and CT-MR models were 0.88, 0.93, and 0.9, respectively. MR models demonstrated excellent mean ICCs of radiomic features (0.91-0.93). CONCLUSION The self-configuring nnU-Net demonstrated reliable and accurate segmentation of OPSCC on CT and MRI. The multimodal CT-MR model showed promising results for the simultaneous segmentation on CT and MRI. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Deep learning-based automatic detection and segmentation of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma on pre-treatment CT and MRI would facilitate radiologic response assessment and radiotherapy planning. KEY POINTS • The nnU-Net framework produced a reliable and accurate segmentation of OPSCC on CT and MRI. • MR and CT-MR models showed higher DSC and lower Hausdorff distance than the CT model. • Correlation coefficients between the ground truth and predicted segmentation volumes were high in all the three models.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In Korea, diabetes mellitus has a high disease burden, based on disability-adjusted life years. However, the disease burden is disproportionately distributed, with people with disabilities (PWD) experiencing higher rates of health disparities. Our study investigated long-term trends in diabetes prevalence and risk according to disability status, grade, and type. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS Approximately 10 million individuals aged ≥30 years were included yearly from the National Health Information Database (NHID) and national disability registration data in Korea between 2008 and 2017, corresponding to 40 % of those aged ≥30 years in Korea. In 2017, 12, 975, 757 individuals were included; 5.5 % had disabilities. We estimated annual diabetes age-standardized prevalence and used multiple logistic regression analyses to estimate the odds of having diabetes in 2017, according to disability status, severity, and type. RESULTS Diabetes age-standardized prevalence consistently increased over 2008-2017 in PWD and people without disabilities. However, the prevalence increased more rapidly and was higher in all years among PWD, with widening disparities based on disability status. Additionally, diabetes prevalence was high in all years for specific subgroups, including women, individuals with intellectual or mental disabilities or autism, and individuals with severe disabilities, suggesting further disparities among PWD. CONCLUSIONS Our findings reveal health disparities between those with and without disabilities and among PWD subgroups. In addition to timely prevention, diabetes screening and management among PWD is vital. Public investment in improving disparities in the root causes of diabetes is essential, including health behaviours, healthcare utilization, and self-care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to present our evaluation of the outcome of tonsillar cancer managed with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery as definitive treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-eight patients with human papilloma virus (HPV)-associated tonsillar cancer were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery. The volume reduction response of the tumor to neoadjuvant chemotherapy was evaluated and verified by histopathology. RESULTS The complete pathologic response (pCR) rates at primary and nodal sites were 60 % and 45 %. Tumor volume reduction ≥78.8 % following neoadjuvant chemotherapy predicted pCR of the cervical node. In addition, the optimal cut-off value to predict pCR at the primary tumor site was 83.4 % volume reduction but was not a significant result. For pCR, neoadjuvant chemotherapy decreased the pathological adverse features, significantly reducing the need for adjuvant therapy. The overall survival of the adjuvant group was 79.2 %, and that of the non-adjuvant group was 87.5 %, with disease-free survival of 65.9 % and 54.2 %. There was no significant difference between the two groups. CONCLUSION Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery proved to be a good therapeutic option for management of HPV-associated tonsillar cancer. A greater reduction in tumor volume in post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy imaging predicts a complete pathologic response.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sialocele that develops after parotid surgery often prolongs the treatment period and stresses both the surgeon and patient. The extent of surgery and tumor size are known to be associated with sialocele occurrence. We investigated the incidence of post-parotidectomy sialocele and the associated risk factors, with a focus on tumor size. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 172 patients who underwent parotidectomy between January 2013 and May 2020 at Haeundae Paik Hospital, Inje University of Korea. We stratified patients into those with and without sialocele (fluid collection in the operative bed). We compared clinical data, patient demographics, and surgical details; we identified risk factors for sialocele development after parotid surgery. RESULTS Seventeen patients were diagnosed with post-parotidectomy sialocele (9.88%; 17/172). Univariate logistic regression revealed that the male sex, deep lobe tumor location, and large tumor size were significantly associated with postoperative sialocele (p = 0.015, 0.009, and 0.016, respectively). We subjected these parameters to multivariate analyses; the odds ratios were 3.70, 3.58, and 2.34, respectively. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses showed that a tumor size > 2.50 cm was the optimal cutoff in terms of predicting post-parotidectomy sialocele. CONCLUSION Male sex, a tumor in the deep lobe, and large tumor size were strongly associated with increased risk for sialocele after parotidectomy. Tumor size > 2.50 cm serves as the cutoff identifying patients likely to experience sialocele after parotid surgery.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Total laryngectomy with partial pharyngectomy is traditionally the principal curative treatment for hypopharyngeal cancer; however, conservative surgical approaches that minimize functional disability are attracting increasing interest. Thus, we evaluated the appropriateness and oncological outcomes of open conservation surgery for such patients. Materials and Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 49 patients who underwent vertical hemipharyngolaryngectomy from 1998 to 2018 at a single institution. Results: Locoregional recurrences developed in 19 patients (38.8%) and distant metastases in 6 (12.2%). Histopathologically, paraglottic space invasion was apparent in 13 patients (26.5%), pre-epiglottic space invasion in 4 (8.2%), thyroid cartilage invasion in 9 (18.4%), thyroid gland invasion in 2, perineural invasion in 11 (22.4%), and lymphovascular invasion in 35 (71.4%). The 5-year overall survival of patients who underwent open conservation surgery was comparable to that of patients who underwent total laryngectomy with partial pharyngectomy (68.7% vs. 48.4%, p = 0.14). Pre-epiglottic space invasion significantly decreased the 5-year disease-free survival rate after open conservation surgery (69.7% vs. 17.9%, p = 0.01). Conclusions: We found that pre-epiglottic space invasion negatively impacted disease control after open conservation surgery, emphasizing the crucial role played by a preoperative evaluation during patient selection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional outcomes of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive tonsillar cancer remained unclear. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of HPV-positive patients with tonsillar cancer. Of 112 patients, 38 were assigned to a neoadjuvant chemotherapy group and 74 were assigned to an upfront surgery group. RESULTS Pathological analyses showed that the risks of close or positive resection margins and lymphovascular invasion were lower in patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The 5-year disease-free survival was significantly higher in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group than in the upfront surgery group, but the 5-year overall survival was not. The time to commencement of oral feeding and the mean hospital stay were significantly shorter in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group. The neoadjuvant chemotherapy group was more likely than the upfront surgery group to resume a regular diet. CONCLUSIONS Compared with upfront surgery, neoadjuvant chemotherapy improved the functional outcomes and 5-year disease-free survival.

STUDY DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study. METHODS This analysis was conducted using national disability registration data and national general health checkup data for 2009-2017. Age-standardized smoking behaviors were analyzed for each year according to the presence, severity, and type of disability. The odds of current smoking were determined by multivariate logistic regression after adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical variables. RESULTS The age-standardized smoking rate and average number of cigarettes for men with mild disabilities in the younger age group were 1.16 (43.0 vs 36.8%) and 1.05 (16.1 vs 15.3 cigarettes) times higher than in non-disabled men as of 2017. The highest smoking rate was observed in men with physical disabilities in the younger age. In the older age group, the highest smoking rate was that of men with intellectual or psychological disabilities. CONCLUSION Smoking behaviors remained poorest in men with disabilities, especially those with mild, physical, and intellectual/psychological disabilities. Public health policies should focus on people with disabilities to promote health, prevent secondary conditions, and reduce health disparities by implementing antismoking health policies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory microbiome studies have fostered our understanding of various phenotypes and endotypes of heterogeneous asthma. However, the relationship between the respiratory microbiome and clinical phenotypes in children with asthma remains unclear. We aimed to identify microbiome-driven clusters reflecting the clinical features of asthma and their dominant microbiotas in children with asthma. METHODS Induced sputum was collected from children with asthma, and microbiome profiles were generated via sequencing of the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene. Cluster analysis was performed using the partitioning around medoid clustering method. The dominant microbiota in each cluster was determined using the Linear Discriminant Effect Size analysis. Each cluster was analyzed for association among the dominant microbiota, clinical phenotype, and inflammatory cytokine. RESULTS Eighty-three children diagnosed with asthma were evaluated. Among four clusters reflecting the clinical characteristics of asthma, cluster 1, dominated by Haemophilus and Neisseria, demonstrated lower post-bronchodilator (BD) forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) than that in the other clusters and more mixed granulocytic asthma. Neisseria negatively correlated with pre-BD and post-BD FEV1/FVC. Haemophilus and Neisseria positively correlated with programmed death-ligand (PD-L)1. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this study is the first to analyze the relationship between an unbiased microbiome-driven cluster and clinical phenotype in children with asthma. The cluster dominated by Haemophilus and Neisseria showed fixed airflow obstruction and mixed granulocytic asthma, which correlated with PD-L1 levels. Thus, microbiome-driven unbiased clustering can help identify new asthma phenotypes related to endotypes in childhood asthma.

Abstract
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is frequently accompanied by dysgeusia and xerostomia. Clonazepam has been widely prescribed and is effective, but it is unclear whether clonazepam also affects the symptoms that accompany BMS, or whether such symptoms affect treatment outcomes. Here, we investigated the therapeutic outcomes in BMS patients with various symptoms or comorbidities. We retrospectively reviewed 41 patients diagnosed with BMS between June 2010 and June 2021 at a single institution. Patients were instructed to take clonazepam for 6 weeks. Before the first dose, burning pain intensity was measured using a visual analog scale (VAS); the unstimulated salivary flow rate (USFR), psychologic characteristics, site(s) of pain, and any taste disturbance were evaluated. Burning pain intensity was measured again after 6 weeks. Thirty-one of the 41 patents (75.7%) exhibited a depressed mood, whereas more than 67.8% of the patients exhibited anxiety. Subjective xerostomia was reported by ten patients (24.3%). The mean salivary flow rate was 0.69 mL/min and hyposalivation (an unstimulated salivary flow rate ≤ 0.5 mL/min) was apparent in ten patients (24.3%). Dysgeusia was present in 20 patients (48.7%); a bitter taste (n = 15, 75%) was reported by the largest proportion of patients. Patients who reported a bitter taste responded best in terms of burning pain reduction after 6 weeks (n = 4, 26.6%). Overall, 32 patients (78%) reported decreased oral burning pain after clonazepam (mean VAS score changed from 6.56 to 5.34) use. Patients who reported taste disturbances exhibited a significantly greater decrease in burning pain, compared with other patients (mean VAS score changed from 6.41 to 4.58) (p = 0.02). Clonazepam significantly improved burning pain in BMS patients who had taste disturbances.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Voice change after thyroidectomy is an important issue in thyroid surgery. However, little is known about long-term voice outcomes after thyroidectomy. This study investigates the long-term voice outcomes of thyroidectomy up to two years after surgery. Also, we analyzed the pattern of recovery through acoustic tests over time. METHODS We reviewed data from 168 patients who underwent thyroidectomy between January 2020 and August 2020 at a single institution. The Thyroidectomy-related Voice and Symptom Questionnaire (TVSQ) score and acoustic voice analysis results were examined preoperatively and postoperative one, three, and six months, and one and two years after surgery. We divided patients into two groups based on the TVSQ score (≥15 or <15) at two years postoperatively. We investigated the difference of acoustic characteristics between the two groups and analyzed correlations between acoustic parameters and various clinical and surgical factors. RESULTS Voice parameters tended to recover, but some parameters and TVSQ scores exhibited deterioration two years after surgery. In the subgroups, among the many clinicopathologic factors examined, voice abuse history including professional voice users (p = 0.014), greater extent of thyroidectomy and neck dissection (p = 0.019, p = 0.029), and high pitch voice (F0; p = 0.005, SFF; p = 0.016) were associated with high TVSQ score at two years. CONCLUSIONS Patients frequently experience voice discomfort after thyroidectomy. After surgery, voice abuse history including professional voice users, greater extent of surgery, and higher pitch voice are associated with worse voice quality and increased risk of persistent voice symptoms over the long-term.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Secondary solid tumors can occur after the treatment of hematological malignancies and are associated with a poor prognosis. We evaluated the survival outcomes of patients with second primary head and neck cancers according to the site of cancer origin, type of hematological malignancy, and age. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled all patients who underwent surgery for second primary head and neck cancer and were previously treated for hematological malignancy between 1997 and 2020. We analyzed the survival outcomes of patients with second primary head and neck cancer, and compared them with 3126 de novo head and neck cancer patients diagnosed during the same period at our hospital. RESULTS The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was significantly worse for second primary head and neck cancer patients than de novo cancer patients (52.0 % and 77.9 %, respectively; p = 0.04) and those results were similarly observed in second primary oral cavity cancer (33.3 % and 75.7 %, respectively; p < 0.01). Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia showed significantly worse 5-year OS rate than those with other types of hematological malignancies (p = 0.036). Multivariate analysis showed that bone marrow transplantation (BMT) was a risk factor for the recurrence of head and neck cancers (odds ratio = 6.635, p = 0.042). CONCLUSION Patients with second primary head and neck cancer, particularly of the oral cavity, had a worse prognosis than patients with de novo head and neck cancer. BMT predicts recurrence in second primary head and neck cancer patients.

Abstract
"Genome-based precision feeding" is a concept that involves the application of customised diets to different genetic groups of cattle. We investigated the effects of the genomic estimated breeding value (gEBV) and dietary energy to protein ratio (DEP) on growth performance, carcass traits, and lipogenic gene expression in Hanwoo (Korean cattle) steers. Forty-four Hanwoo steers (BW = 636 kg, age = 26.9 months) were genotyped using the Illumina Bovine 50 K BeadChip. The gEBV was calculated using genomic best linear unbiased prediction. Animals were separated into high gEBV of marbling score or low-gMS groups based on the upper and lower 50% groupings of the reference population, respectively. Animals were assigned to one of four groups in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement: high gMS/high DEP (0.084 MJ/g), high gMS/low DEP (0.079 MJ/g), low gMS/high DEP, and low gMS/low DEP. Steers were fed concentrate with a high or low DEP for 31 weeks. The BW tended to be higher (0.05 < P < 0.1) in the high-gMS groups compared to the low-gMS groups at 0, 4, 8, 12, and 20 weeks. The average daily gain (ADG) tended to be lower (P = 0.08) in the high-gMS group than in the low-gMS group. Final BW and measured carcass weight (CW) were positively correlated with the gEBV of carcass weight (gCW). The DEP did not affect ADG. Neither the gMS nor the DEP affected the MS and beef quality grade. The intramuscular fat (IMF) content in the longissimus thoracis (LT) tended to be higher (P = 0.08) in the high-gMS groups than in the low-gMS groups. The mRNA levels of lipogenic acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid binding protein 4 genes in the LT were higher (P < 0.05) in the high-gMS group than in the low-gMS group. Overall, the IMF content tended to be affected by the gMS, and the genetic potential (i.e., gMS) was associated with the functional activity of lipogenic gene expression. The gCW was associated with the measured BW and CW. The results demonstrated that the gMS and the gCW may be used as early prediction indexes for meat quality and growth potential of beef cattle.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE It is difficult to conclude that COVID-19 is associated with a decrease in the suicide attempts rate by comparing only a short-term period. Therefore, it is necessary to examine attempted suicide rates through a trend analysis over a longer period. This study aimed to investigate an estimated long-term trend regarding the prevalence of suicide-related behaviors among adolescents in South Korea from 2005 to 2020, including COVID-19. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We sourced data from a national representative survey (Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey) and analyzed one million Korean adolescents aged 13 to 18 years (n=1,057,885) from 2005 to 2020. The 16-year trends regarding the prevalence of sadness or despair and suicidal ideation and attempt and the trend changes before and during COVID-19. RESULTS Data of 1,057,885 Korean adolescents was analyzed (weighted mean age, 15.03 years; males, 52.5%; females, 47.5%). Although the 16-year trend in the prevalence of sadness or despair and suicide ideation and attempt consistently decreased (prevalence of sadness or despair between 2005-2008, 38.0% with 95% confidence interval [CI], 37.7 to 38.4 vs. prevalence in 2020, 25.0% [24.5 to 25.6]; suicide ideation between 2005-2008, 21.9% [21.6 to 22.1] vs. prevalence in 2020, 10.7% [10.3 to 11.1]; and suicide attempt between 2005-2008, 5.0% [4.9 to 5.2] vs. prevalence in 2020, 1.9% [1.8 to 2.0]), the downward slope decreased during COVID-19 (βdiff in sadness, 0.215 with 95% CI 0.206 to 0.224; βdiff in suicidal ideation, 0.245 [0.234 to 0.256]; and βdiff in suicide attempt, 0.219 [0.201 to 0.237]) compared with pre-pandemic period. CONCLUSIONS This study found that the observed risk of suicide-related behaviors during the pandemic was higher than expected through long-term trend analysis of the prevalence of sadness/despair and suicidal ideation and attempts among South Korean adolescents. We need a profound epidemiologic study of the change in mental health due to the pandemic's impact and the establishment of prevention strategies for suicide ideation and attempt.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the clinical efficacy of adding temozolomide (TMZ) to preoperative capecitabine (CAP)-based chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) and validate O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) methylation status as a predictive marker for TMZ combined regimens. MATERIALS AND METHODS LARC patients with clinical stage II (cT3-4N0) or III (cTanyN+) disease were enrolled. They were stratified into unmethylated MGMT (uMGMT) and methylated MGMT (mMGMT) groups by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction before randomisation and were then randomly assigned (1:1) to one of four treatment arms: uMGMT/CAP (arm A), uMGMT/TMZ + CAP (arm B), mMGMT/CAP (arm C) and mMGMT/TMZ + CAP (arm D). The primary end point was the pathological complete response (pCR) rate. RESULTS Between November 2017 and July 2020, 64 patients were randomised. Slow accrual caused early study termination. After excluding four ineligible patients, 60 were included in the full analysis set. The pCR rate was 15.0% (9/60), 0%, 14.3%, 18.8% and 26.7% for the entire cohort, arms A, B, C and D, respectively (P = 0.0498 between arms A and D). The pCR rate was 9.7% in the CAP group (arms A + C), 20.7% in the TMZ + CAP group (arms B + D), 6.9% in the uMGMT group (arms A + B) and 22.6% in the mMGMT group (arms C + D). Grade 1-2 nausea or vomiting was significantly more frequent in the TMZ + CAP treatment groups (arms B + D) than in the CAP treatment groups (arms A + C, P < 0.001) with no difference in grade 3 adverse events. There were no grade 4 or 5 adverse events. CONCLUSION The addition of TMZ to CAP-based chemoradiotherapy tended to improve pCR rates, particularly in those with mMGMT LARC. MGMT status may warrant further investigation as a predictive biomarker for chemotherapeutic agents and radiotherapy.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop evidence-based recommendations for determining the surgical extent in patients with locally invasive differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Locally invasive DTC with gross extrathyroidal extension invading surrounding anatomical structures may lead to several functional deficits and poor oncological outcomes. At present, the optimal extent of surgery in locally invasive DTC remains a matter of debate, and there are no adequate guidelines. On October 8, 2021, four experts searched the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases; the identified papers were reviewed by 39 experts in thyroid and head and neck surgery. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was used to assess the quality of evidence, and to develop and report recommendations. The strength of a recommendation reflects the confidence of a guideline panel that the desirable effects of an intervention outweigh any undesirable effects, across all patients for whom the recommendation is applicable. After completing the draft guidelines, Delphi questionnaires were completed by members of the Korean Society of Head and Neck Surgery. Twenty-seven evidence-based recommendations were made for several factors, including the preoperative workup; surgical extent of thyroidectomy; surgery for cancer invading the strap muscles, recurrent laryngeal nerve, laryngeal framework, trachea, or esophagus; and surgery for patients with central and lateral cervical lymph node involvement. Evidence-based guidelines were devised to help clinicians make safer and more efficient clinical decisions for the optimal surgical treatment of patients with locally invasive DTC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is a lack of pediatric studies that have analyzed trends in mean body mass index (BMI) and the prevalence of obesity and overweight over a period that includes the mid-stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, we aimed to investigate trends in BMI, overweight, and obesity among Korean adolescents from 2005 to 2021, including the COVID-19 pandemic. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We used data from the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (KYRBS), which is nationally representative of South Korea. The study included middle- and high-school students between the ages of 12 and 18. We examined trends in mean BMI and prevalence of obesity and/or overweight during the COVID-19 pandemic and compared these to those of pre-pandemic trends in each subgroup by gender, grade, and residential region. RESULTS Data from 1,111,300 adolescents (mean age: 15.04 years) were analyzed. The estimated weighted mean BMI was 20.48 kg/m2 (95% CI, 20.46-20.51) between 2005 and 2007, and this was 21.61 kg/m2 (95% CI, 21.54-21.68) in 2021. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 13.1% (95% CI, 12.9-13.3%) between 2005 and 2007 and 23.4% (95% CI, 22.8-24.0%) in 2021. The mean BMI and prevalence of obesity and overweight have gradually increased over the past 17 years; however, the extent of change in mean BMI and in the prevalence of obesity and overweight during the pandemic was distinctly less than before. The 17-year trends in the mean BMI, obesity, and overweight exhibited a considerable rise from 2005 to 2021; however, the slope during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021) was significantly less prominent than in the pre-pandemic (2005-2019). CONCLUSIONS These findings enable us to comprehend long-term trends in the mean BMI of Korean adolescents and further emphasize the need for practical prevention measures against youth obesity and overweight.

Abstract
(1) Background: Perineural invasion (PNI) in head and neck cancer is associated with a poor prognosis; however, the effect of PNI on the prognosis of laryngeal cancer remains under debate. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the effect of PNI in fresh or salvaged larynges on survival in patients who had undergone laryngectomy for squamous cell carcinoma. (2) Methods: This study enrolled 240 patients diagnosed with laryngeal cancer who had undergone open surgery at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, Korea. The effects of PNI, other histopathologic factors, and treatment history on survival and recurrence patterns were assessed. (3) Results: PNI was observed in 30 of 240 patients (12.5%). PNI (HR: 3.05; 95% CI: 1.90-4.88; p = 0.01) was a significant predictor of poor 5-year disease-free survival. In fresh cases, preepiglottic invasion (HR: 2.37; 95% CI: 1.45-3.88; p = 0.01) and PNI (HR: 2.96; 95% CI: 1.62-2.96; p = 0.01) were negative prognostic factors for 5-year disease-free survival. In the salvage group, however, only PNI (HR: 2.74; 95% CI: 1.26-5.92; p = 0.01) was a significant predictor of disease-free survival. Further, PNI significantly influenced high local recurrence (HR: 5.02, 95% CI: 1.28-9.66; p = 0.02). (4) Conclusions: Independent of treatment history, PNI is a prognostic factor for poor survival and local recurrence in laryngeal cancer.

Abstract
Numerous studies support the idea that neuromuscular blockade facilitates facemask ventilation after induction of anaesthesia. Although improved airway patency or pulmonary compliance and a resolution of laryngospasm have been suggested as possible causes, the exact mechanism remains unclear. We aimed to assess whether neuromuscular blockade improves facemask ventilation and to clarify whether this phenomenon is associated with the vocal cord angle. This prospective observational study included patients aged between 20 and 65 years scheduled for elective surgery under general anaesthesia. After induction of anaesthesia, patients' lungs were ventilated with pressure-controlled ventilation using a facemask. During facemask ventilation, a flexible bronchoscope was inserted through a self-sealing diaphragm at the elbow connector attached to the facemask and breathing circuit and positioned to allow a continuous view of the vocal cords. The mean tidal volume and vocal cord angle were measured before and after administration of neuromuscular blocking drugs. Of 108 patients, 100 completed the study. Mean (SD) tidal volume ((11.0 (3.9) ml.kg-1 vs. 13.6 (2.6) ml.kg-1 ; p < 0.001) and mean (SD) vocal cord angle (17° (10°) vs. 26° (5°); p < 0.001) increased significantly after neuromuscular blockade. The proportional increase in mean tidal volume after neuromuscular blockade was positively correlated with vocal cord angle (Spearman's ρ = 0.803; p < 0.001). In conclusion, neuromuscular blockade facilitated facemask ventilation, and the improvement was correlated with further opening of the vocal cords.

Abstract
Exposed dental pulp can maintain its vitality through a pulp-capping procedure with biocompatible materials, followed by reparative dentin formation. Our previous study demonstrated that a vitronectin-derived peptide (VnP-16) promotes osteoblast differentiation and concomitantly restrains osteoclast differentiation and resorptive function. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate that VnP-16 promotes odontoblast differentiation, mineralization, and reparative dentin formation in a pulp exposure model using a rat tooth. VnP-16 showed no cytotoxicity and promoted cellular behavior in human dental pulp cells, enhancing their differentiation into odontoblast-like cells and mineralization, effects that are comparable to those obtained with vitronectin. In a rat pulp exposure model, VnP-16 showed mild inflammatory responses at 2 and 4 wk or none. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) demonstrated a tendency of early formation of reparative dentin at 2 wk when compared with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) and VnP-16. However, VnP-16 induced reparative dentin formation similar to MTA and rhBMP-2 without inflammation at 4 wk. In addition, VnP-16 showed a thicker and homogeneous reparative dentin formation versus MTA and rhBMP-2. Collectively, these results suggest that VnP-16 can be a useful, direct pulp-capping agent for highly qualified reparative dentin formation by promoting cell behavior and odontoblastic differentiation of human dental pulp cells.

Abstract
Examining the nature of humility using self-report measures has been a challenging endeavor due to concerns of response biases and the common misconception that equates humility with self-deprecation. Alternatively, this study attempts to validate the construct of humility by assessing subjects' (N = 553) responses to a speech written to represent the core elements of humility as opposed to self-deprecation or unconditional self-underrating. Data show that (a) humility comprises a latent construct subsuming accurate self-assessment, open-mindedness, and egalitarianism; and (b) humility outperforms self-deprecation in enhancing perceived sincerity, source credibility, and the intention to interact with the source. Results indicate, particularly for expert sources, that humility cues can promote approachability while maintaining perceived expertise.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis aims to assess the susceptibility to and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 in autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic disease (AIRD) and following AIRD drug use. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included observational and case-controlled studies assessing susceptibility and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 in patients with AIRD as well as the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 with or without use of steroids and conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs). RESULTS Meta-analysis including three studies showed that patients with AIRD are not more susceptible to COVID-19 compared to patients without AIRD or the general population (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 0.58 to 2.14). Incidence of severe outcomes of COVID-19 (OR: 1.34, 95% CI: 0.76 to 2.35) and COVID-19 related death (OR: 1.21, 95% CI: 0.68 to 2.16) also did not show significant difference. The clinical outcomes of COVID-19 among AIRD patients with and without csDMARD or steroid showed that both use of steroid (OR: 1.69, 95% CI: 0.96 to 2.98) or csDMARD (OR: 1.35, 95% CI: 0.63 to 3.08) had no effect on clinical outcomes of COVID-19. CONCLUSIONS AIRD does not increase susceptibility to COVID-19, not affecting the clinical outcome of COVID-19. Similarly, the use of steroids or csDMARDs for AIRD does not worsen the clinical outcome.

Abstract
Although transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery affords several advantages, the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas to create and maintain the working space may cause complications such as subcutaneous emphysema and a CO2 embolism. We have used a self-retaining retractor as an alternative to CO2 gas insufflation for some time; we here report its feasibility and safety. We reviewed the medical records of 131 patients who underwent transoral endoscopic thyroid lobectomy; we compared the "CO2 group" and the "retractor" group. All thyroid tumors were completely removed with negative surgical margins. No major complication occurred in the retractor group. Two major events occurred in the CO2 group: one case of permanent vocal cord palsy and one CO2 embolism. Significant subcutaneous emphysema of the neck and chest were noted in 17.7% of CO2 group patients, but in no retractor group patient. Wound infection occurred in one patient in each group but improved after appropriate management. The total operation times from incision to suture did not differ significantly between the two groups (p = 0.514). Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy using a self-retaining retractor as an alternative to CO2 gas insufflation is feasible and safe. The superiority of transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy would be emphasized by avoiding CO2 gas insufflation, thus eliminating the risk of CO2 gas-related complications.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) has more than 100 different types, some of which are associated with cancer. The most common example is that of cervical cancer, which is associated with HPV16 and HPV18. Here, we performed next-generation sequencing (NGS) to type 2436 samples obtained from Korean women to elucidate the correlation between multiple infections, virus types, and cytology. NGS revealed that types 58, 56, and 16 were the most common in high-risk (HR) types, whereas types 90, 54, and 81 were the most common in low-risk (LR) types. The incidence of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) or high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) was 11.45% in single-type cases and 27.17% in multiple infections by the two types of HPV. ASCUS or HSIL was 29.79% in only the HR type multiple infections and 29.81% in mixed high- and low-risk types of multiple infections, whereas it was 18.79% in LR type multiple infections (P ≤ 0.0001). Co-infection by LR-HPV and HR-HPV is therefore more likely to cause cell lesions. Collectively, these results show that the higher the incidence of multiple infections, the greater the frequency of cell lesions. Thus, to predict the clinical symptoms, it would be beneficial to confirm the HPV type and multiple infections using NGS, although this could be relatively expensive.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE After thyroidectomy, many patients suffer from voice problems and vague neck discomfort. The Thyroidectomy-related Voice and Symptom Questionnaire (TVSQ) is a self-administered questionnaire used to evaluate pre- and post-operative vocal status as well as throat and neck discomfort. We investigated voice conditions in thyroidectomy patients using the TVSQ as well as correlations between TVSQ responses and objective voice parameters. Also, we examined whether any clinicopathologic or surgical factors affect phonetic change after thyroidectomy. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 242 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy to treat papillary carcinoma between January to December of 2019. Of these, we enrolled 232 who exhibited normal vocal cord mobility after surgery. TVSQ responses and acoustic voice analysis results were examined preoperatively and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. We subclassified patients into favorable and unfavorable TVSQ groups based on the increase in TVSQ score (△TVSQ ≥20) at 1 month postoperatively. We then investigated the difference of acoustic characteristics between two groups and analyzed the correlations between acoustic parameters and various clinical and surgical factors including pathologic results and lymph node status by subgroup. RESULT All acoustic voice parameters except for the noise-to-harmonics ratio were significantly worse at 1 month postoperatively and recovered over time, but the TVSQ score did not recover from the 1-month value until 6 months postoperatively. In the subgroups, among the many clinicopathologic factors examined, advanced N stage (p = 0.002) and high positive total and central-and-lateral-neck lymph node ratios were significantly associated with an increased risk of an unfavorable TVSQ (p = 0.049, 0.027, <0.01, respectively). Among the acoustic parameters, only the changes in TVSQ total score and voice score were correlated with deterioration in jitter and shimmer at 1 month postoperatively. However, the correlations was not statistically significant and had disappeared at 6 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION We figured out that TVSQ was able to capture the negative effects of lymph node status and lymph node dissection on vocal outcomes after thyroidectomy. Although there was a weak correlation between worsened perturbation value and TVSQ changes, no other acoustic analysis parameters were statistically significant correlated with the TVSQ score.

Abstract
Simple Summary The black pine bast scale, Matsucoccus thunbergianae, is a forest pest that causes widespread damage to black pine; therefore, monitoring this pest is necessary to minimize environmental and economic losses in forests. However, monitoring insects in pheromone traps performed by humans is labor intensive and time consuming. To develop an automated monitoring system, we aimed to develop algorithms that detect and count M. thunbergianae from images of pheromone traps using deep-learning-based object detection algorithms. Object detection models based on deep learning neural networks under various conditions were trained, and the performances of detection and counting were compared and evaluated. In addition, the models were trained to detect small objects well by cropping images into multiple windows. As a result, the algorithms based on deep learning neural networks successfully detected and counted M. thunbergianae. These results showed that accurate and constant pest monitoring is possible using the artificial-intelligence-based methods we proposed. Abstract The black pine bast scale, M. thunbergianae, is a major insect pest of black pine and causes serious environmental and economic losses in forests. Therefore, it is essential to monitor the occurrence and population of M. thunbergianae, and a monitoring method using a pheromone trap is commonly employed. Because the counting of insects performed by humans in these pheromone traps is labor intensive and time consuming, this study proposes automated deep learning counting algorithms using pheromone trap images. The pheromone traps collected in the field were photographed in the laboratory, and the images were used for training, validation, and testing of the detection models. In addition, the image cropping method was applied for the successful detection of small objects in the image, considering the small size of M. thunbergianae in trap images. The detection and counting performance were evaluated and compared for a total of 16 models under eight model conditions and two cropping conditions, and a counting accuracy of 95% or more was shown in most models. This result shows that the artificial intelligence-based pest counting method proposed in this study is suitable for constant and accurate monitoring of insect pests.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the diagnostic value of computed tomography (CT) urography findings of anterior nutcracker syndrome (NCS). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included patients with left renal vein (LRV) compression at the aortomesenteric portion at CT urography who underwent renal venography or cystoscopy. Patients with a renocaval pressure gradient of ≥3 mmHg on renal venography or bloody urine jetting from the left ureteral orifice on cystoscopy were defined as the NCS group; the remaining patients comprised the non-NCS group. CT findings were analysed using the jetting of contrast medium flow from the LRV to the inferior vena cava (jetting sign), aortomesenteric distance, presence of collateral veins, and a dilatation ratio of LRV diameter at the aortomesenteric portion (arterial phase/delayed phases). Clinical findings, including age, gender, and body-mass-index, were also analysed. CT features and clinical findings were compared between the NCS and non-NCS groups. Diagnostic performance of CT parameters was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. RESULTS A total of 70 patients (21 men, mean age 44.4 ± 17.2 years) with NCS (n=13) and non-NCS (n=57) were included. Younger age (<40 years), presence of the jetting sign, and a lower dilatation ratio of LRV diameter between the arterial and delayed phases (<1.7) were found to be significant independent factors for predicting the NCS group (OR 24.5, 18.9, 19.4, respectively, p<0.05 for all). The combination of the presence of the jetting sign and a dilatation ratio of LRV diameter of <1.7 obtained the highest AUC of 0.88. CONCLUSION The jetting sign and the dilatation ratio of LRV diameter between the arterial and delayed phases can both be very useful in the diagnosis of anterior nutcracker syndrome during CT urography.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some of patients are suffered from pitch lowering of voice after thyroidectomy. We sought to identify factors predictive of a recovery from lowered pitch voice after thyroid surgery. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 133 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy to treat papillary carcinoma between January 2012 and February 2013. Of these, we enrolled 78 who exhibited a lower-pitched voice (SFF fall > 12 Hz) at 2 weeks post-operatively than pre-operatively and investigated pitch recovery after 3 months. We subclassified patients into recovery and non-recovery groups and compared videostroboscopic findings, acoustic voice data, and thyroidectomy-related voice questionnaire scores pre-operatively and 2, 8, and 12 weeks post-operatively. RESULTS Vocal cord asymmetry on videostroboscopic examination at 2 weeks post-operatively (odds ratio 19.056, p = 0.001*) was more frequent in the non-recovery group. In acoustic analysis, mean pre-operative SFF was higher in the non-recovery group than the recovery group (190.9 ± 27.5 and 180.9 ± 24.6 Hz, respectively; p = 0.030*). Also, a reduction in the SFF of > 19.6 Hz, at 2 weeks post-operatively versus pre-operatively, predicted non-recovery of pitch-lowering in patients with reduced SFF within post-operative 3 months, with 72.0% sensitivity and 71.2% specificity. After 6 months of follow-up, no patient who exhibited an SFF fall > 19.6 Hz recovered to within 10 Hz of the pre-operative value. CONCLUSION A reduction in the speaking fundamental frequency (SFF) > 19.6 Hz at 2 weeks post-operatively predicted persisting lowering of voice pitch after thyroidectomy among those with lower-pitched voices after surgery. Pre-operative high SFF and post-operative stroboscopic findings including vocal cord asymmetry at 2 weeks post-operatively also predicted persisting lowering of voice pitch for 3 months.

Abstract
We report a search result for a light sterile neutrino oscillation with roughly 2200 live days of data in the RENO experiment. The search is performed by electron antineutrino (ν[over ¯]_{e}) disappearance taking place between six 2.8 GW_{th} reactors and two identical detectors located at 294 m (near) and 1383 m (far) from the center of the reactor array. A spectral comparison between near and far detectors can explore reactor ν[over ¯]_{e} oscillations to a light sterile neutrino. An observed spectral difference is found to be consistent with that of the three-flavor oscillation model. This yields limits on sin^{2}2θ_{14} in the 10^{-4}≲|Δm_{41}^{2}|≲0.5 eV^{2} region, free from reactor ν[over ¯]_{e} flux and spectrum uncertainties. The RENO result provides the most stringent limits on sterile neutrino mixing at |Δm_{41}^{2}|≲0.002 eV^{2} using the ν[over ¯]_{e} disappearance channel.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) was related to a 1.28 times higher risk of osteoporosis. In addition, osteoporosis was associated with a 1.34 times higher risk of BPPV. This bidirectional relation was maintained after adjusting past medical histories and lifestyle factors, including obesity, smoking, and alcohol consumption. To our knowledge, this is the first study to explore the reciprocal association between BPPV and osteoporosis. In subgroup analyses, only women showed a reciprocal association between BPPV and osteoporosis. INTRODUCTION A previous population cohort study suggested an association between osteoporosis and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). This study aimed to investigate the bidirectional association between BPPV and osteoporosis. METHODS The Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort data from 2002 to 2013 were used. In study I, the 50,897 osteoporosis patients were 1:1 matched with control I participants for age, sex, income, and region of residence. The previous histories of BPPV were analyzed in both groups using conditional logistic regression analysis. In study II, 9621 BPPV patients were 1:4 matched with control II participants. The previous histories of osteoporosis were analyzed in both groups using conditional logistic regression analysis. According to age and sex, subgroup analyses were achieved in both studies I and II. RESULTS A total of 1.6% (822/50,897) of osteoporosis patients and 1.3% (644/50,897) of control I participants had BPPV. The osteoporosis patients demonstrated a 1.28 times higher chance of developing BPPV (95% confidence intervals [95% CI] = 1.16-1.42, P < 0.001). In study II, 21.2% (2040/9621) of BPPV patients and 17.6% (6790/38,484) of control II participants had osteoporosis. The BPPV patients showed 1.34 times higher chance of having osteoporosis (95% CI = 1.26-1.43, P < 0.001). In the analysis of the women subgroup, these relations were reliable. CONCLUSION Osteoporosis patients had increased odds of having BPPV. On the other hand, BPPV patients had increased odds of having osteoporosis. This bidirectional relation was consistent only in the women subgroup.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some patients experience long-term voice change after thyroidectomy. One of the most common symptoms of voice change is pitch lowering, which is closely related to unfavorable voice quality. Here we observed voice outcomes for 6 months of follow-up after thyroidectomy to identify factors closely related to low-pitched voice. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 2,297 patients who underwent thyroidectomy between January 2014 and December 2017. All the patients had their vocal status examined using videostroboscopy, acoustic voice analyses, aerodynamic study, and Thyroidectomy-Related Voice Questionnaire scores. We stratified patients into 2 groups (low-pitched voice versus favorable voice) according to pitch lowering (reduction in speaking fundamental frequency ≥12 Hz 1 month after thyroidectomy compared to the preoperative value). We compared preoperative data with postoperative data collected 1, 3, and 6 months after thyroidectomy to identify factors contributing to low-pitched voice. RESULTS Univariate logistic regression analyses showed that factors related to low-pitched voice were female sex, older age, low body weight, short stature, and a high positive lymph node ratio. Multivariate analyses showed that female sex and older age were significantly associated with a negative prognosis for low-pitched voice 1 month after thyroidectomy (odds ratios 0.41 and 1.04, respectively; P < .001). Receiver operating characteristic curves for predicting sustained low-pitched voice during 6 months showed that speaking fundamental frequency ≥12.48 Hz 1 month after thyroidectomy was the optimal cutoff value, with 87.9% sensitivity and 95.8% specificity (P < .001). CONCLUSION Female sex and older age are strongly associated with increased risk for low-pitched voice after thyroidectomy. Speaking fundamental frequency ≥12.48 Hz 1 month after thyroidectomy can be used to predict sustained low-pitched voice after thyroidectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim was to investigate whether female reproductive factors are associated with dementia. METHODS In all, 4 696 633 post-menopausal women without dementia were identified using the Korean National Health Insurance System database. Data on reproductive factors were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Dementia was determined using dementia diagnosis codes and anti-dementia drug prescription. Cox proportional hazards regression was conducted to assess the hazard ratio (HR) for dementia according to reproductive factors. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 5.74 years, there were 212 227 new cases of all-cause dementia (4.5%), 162 901 cases of Alzheimer's disease (3.5%) and 24 029 cases of vascular dementia (0.5%). The HR of dementia was 1.15 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03-1.16] for menarcheal age ≥17 years compared with menarcheal age 13-14 years, 0.79 (0.77-0.81) for menopausal age ≥55 years compared with menopausal age <40 years, and 0.81 (0.79-0.82) for fertility duration ≥40 years compared with fertility duration <30 years. Whilst being of parity one (HR 0.89, 95% CI 0.85-0.94) and breastfeeding <6 months (HR 0.92, 95% CI 0.88-0.95) was associated with lower risk of dementia, being of parity two or more (HR 1.04, 95% CI 0.99-1.05) and breastfeeding ≥12 months (HR 1.14, 95% CI 1.01-1.07) was associated with a higher risk of dementia than women without parity or breastfeeding history. Use of hormone replacement therapy and oral contraceptives independently reduced the dementia risk by 15% and 10%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Female reproductive factors are independent risk factors for dementia incidence, with higher risk associated with shorter lifetime endogenous estrogen exposure.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Sleep and stress can both enhance emotional memory consolidation. During slow wave sleep (SWS), oscillatory features such as slow oscillations (SO), sleep spindles (SS), and critically, their coupling, are believed to facilitate consolidation. How they relate to emotional memory consolidation is less clear, and how stress interacts with these oscillations is unknown.
Methods
In this study, participants either underwent a psychosocial stressor (the Trier Social Stress Task; n = 32) or a control task (n=32). Next, they encoded 150 neutral, negative, and positive images while undergoing fMRI. Participants then spent the night in the lab with polysomnographic recording. The next day they were given a surprise recognition test.
Results
There was better memory for emotional compared to neutral items in the stress group. Within this group, % of time spent in SWS positively correlated with emotional memory consolidation (r=.37, p=.039). However, SO-SS coupling during SWS was negatively correlated with emotional memory consolidation in the stress group (r=-.47, p=.007). This was driven by participants who showed a high cortisol response following the stressor (cortisol * coupling interaction p=.03) Results were similar when negative and positive items were analyzed separately. No correlations with neutral item memory were found.
Conclusion
Sleep stage time and sleep oscillatory activity exert different effects on emotional memory following stress, and that SO-SS coupling does not always promote episodic memory consolidation. SO-SS coupling can impair emotional memories when encoded during periods of elevated stress, and accompanying neuromodulators such as cortisol are high.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Common symptoms after thyroidectomy include voice change and throat and neck discomfort. But no common questionnaire has been developed. This study was performed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Thyroidectomy-related Voice and Symptom Questionnaire (TVSQ). METHODS Fourty items of the TVSQ were divided into 20 items related to the "voice change" and "throat and neck discomfort" subcategories, using item generation. Through a reduction process, 20 items were removed and 20 items were used. For the patients after thyroidectomy, we evaluated the reliability and validity of each of the 20 items through item discrimination, test-retest reliability, concurrent validity, and external validity by comparing normal group and laryngeal disease patients. Also, the patients were compared before as well as 2 and 4 weeks after thyroidectomy. RESULTS Item discrimination assessment showed a significant correlation between TVSQ total score and both the TVSQ "voice change" score (r = 0.908**) and TVSQ "throat and neck discomfort" score (r = 0.862**). Test-retest reliability assessment showed a significant correlation between TVSQ total scores at 2 and 4 weeks postoperatively (r = 0.764**). Concurrent validity assessment revealed that the TVSQ showed high correlations with other voice questionnaires (Voice Handicap Index, Reflux Finding Index, and Vocal Track Discomfort Scale; r = 0.538**-0.830**). External validity assessment revealed that the TVSQ was suitable for patients after thyroidectomy (P < 0.000**). CONCLUSIONS Validity and reliability tests revealed that the TVSQ was suitable for assessment of the subjective feelings of patients with voice change and throat and neck discomfort after thyroidectomy.

Abstract
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) share common risk factors. They could therefore be expressed in a single patient. However, the prevalence, clinical characteristics and prognosis of individuals with comorbid IPF and COPD are not known. </sec> <sec> <title>METHOD</title> From 2003 to 2007, the Korean Interstitial Lung Disease Study Group created a register for idiopathic interstitial pneumonia using 2002 ATS/ERS (American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society) criteria. Of the 1546 IPF patients assessed, 143 had decreased lung function consistent with COPD (IPF-COPD). COPD was diagnosed based on age (≥40 years) and pulmonary function (forced expiratory volume in 1 sec [FEV1]/forced vital capacity [FVC] ratio < 0.7). </sec> <sec> <title>RESULTS</title> The median age of the IPF-COPD group was 71.0 years (interquartile range 66.0-76.0); most patients were male (88.1%). FVC (%) was significantly higher in the IPF-COPD group; however, FEV1 (%) was significantly lower in the IPF-COPD group (P < 0.001). Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) was not significantly different between the two groups. In survival analysis, age and FVC (%), but not COPD, were significantly associated with prognosis (respectively P = 0.003, 0.001 and 0.401). COPD severity was also not related to prognosis (P = 0.935). </sec> <sec> <title>CONCLUSION</title> The prevalence of IPF-COPD was estimated to be ∼9.2% among all IPF patients; prognosis of patients with IPF-COPD was not worse than those with IPF alone. </sec>.

Abstract
Background To identify predictive markers for responders in lapatinib-treated patients and to demonstrate molecular changes during lapatinib treatment via cell-free genomics. Patients and methods We prospectively evaluated the efficacy of combining lapatinib with capecitabine and oxaliplatin as first line neoadjuvant therapy in patients with previously untreated, HER2-overexpressing advanced gastric cancer. A parallel biomarker study was conducted by simultaneously performing immunohistochemistry and next-generation sequencing (NGS) with tumor and blood samples. Results Complete response was confirmed in 7/32 patients (21.8%), 2 of whom received radical surgery with pathologic-confirmed complete response. Fifteen partial responses (46.8%) were observed, resulting in a 68.6% overall response rate. NGS of the 16 tumor specimens demonstrated that the most common co-occurring copy number alteration was CCNE1 amplification, which was present in 40% of HER2+ tumors. The relationship between CCNE1 amplification and lack of response to HER2-targeted therapy trended toward statistical significance (66.7% of non-responders versus 22.2% of responders harbored CCNE1 amplification; P = 0.08). Patients with high level ERBB2 amplification by NGS were more likely to respond to therapy, compared with patients with low level ERBB2 amplification (P = 0.02). Analysis of cfDNA showed that detectable ERBB2 copy number amplification in plasma was predictive to the response (100%, response rate) and changes in plasma-detected genomic alterations were associated with lapatinib sensitivity and/or resistance. The follow-up cfDNA genomics at disease progression demonstrated that there are emergences of other genomic aberrations such as MYC, EGFR, FGFR2 and MET amplifications. Conclusions The present study showed that HER2+ GC patients respond differently according to concomitant genomic aberrations beyond ERBB2, high ERBB2 amplification by NGS or cfDNA can be a positive predictor for patient selection, and tumor genomic alterations change significantly during targeted agent therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) can classify skin diseases at a level equivalent to a dermatologist, but their performance in specific areas requires further research. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance of a trained DCNN-based algorithm in classifying benign and malignant lip diseases. METHODS A training set of 1629 images (743 malignant, 886 benign) was used with Inception-Resnet-V2. Performance was evaluated using another set of 344 images and 281 images from other hospitals. Classifications by 44 participants (six board-certified dermatologists, 12 dermatology residents, nine medical doctors not specialized in dermatology and 17 medical students) were used for comparison. RESULTS The outcomes based on the area under curve, sensitivity and specificity were 0·827 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0·782-0·873], 0·755 (95% CI 0·673-0·827) and 0·803 (95% CI 0·752-0·855), respectively, for the set of 344 images; and 0·774 (95% CI 0·699-0·849), 0·702 (95% CI 0·579-0·808) and 0·759 (95% CI 0·701-0·813), respectively, for the set of 281 images. The DCNN was equivalent to the dermatologists and superior to the nondermatologists in classifying malignancy. After referencing the DCNN result, the mean ± SD Youden index increased significantly for nondermatologists, from 0·201 ± 0·156 to 0·322 ± 0·141 (P < 0·001). CONCLUSIONS DCNNs can classify lip diseases at a level similar to dermatologists. This will help unskilled physicians discriminate between benign and malignant lip diseases. What's already known about this topic? Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) can classify malignant and benign skin diseases at a level equivalent to dermatologists. The lips are a unique feature in terms of histology and morphology. Previous studies of DCNNs have not investigated tumours on specific locations. What does this study add? This study shows that DCNNs can distinguish rare malignant and benign lip disorders at the same rate as dermatologists. DCNNs can help nondermatologists to distinguish malignant lip diseases. What are the clinical implications of this work? DCNNs can distinguish malignant and benign skin diseases even at specific locations such as the lips, as well as board-certified dermatologists. Malignant lip diseases are rare and difficult for less trained doctors to differentiate them from benign lesions. This study shows that in dermatology, DCNN can help improve decision-making processes for rare skin diseases in specific areas of the body.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and purpose
Based on the data of patients who measured office BP (OBP) in controlled condition, home BP (HBP), and 24-hour ambulatory BP (24hABP) for diagnosis of hypertension, we developed and validated a diagnostic algorithm for hypertension.
Methods
Patients who have high BP (≥140/90 mmHg) at the outpatient clinic were referred to measure OBP in controlled condition, HBP and 24hABP. The OBP was measured three times at each visit for 3 days in controlled condition by using a validated oscillometric device. HBP was measured for 7 days in triplicates every morning and evening. The 24hABP was measured on the 8th day. Same study protocol was used for development and validation population.
Results
In the development of algorithm, 319 patients were recruited and data of 256 patients (51.8±9.7 years, 119 men) with valid HBP and 24hABP measurements were analyzed. In the validation of algorithm, 300 patients were recruited and data of 257 patients (52.4±9.8 years, 126 men) with valid HBP and 24hABP measurements were analyzed. In the development population, the prevalence of masked hypertension was 19.5% (n=50) and most of them (n=47, 94%) was in the range of 130–139/80–89 mmHg. The BP in the range of 130–144/80–94 mmHg was defined as the grey zone of OBP, because prevalence of white-coat hypertension was lowered to 1.6% from 4.3% with threshold of 145/95 mmHg. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of OBP was improved to 97.4%, 76.5, 96.5% and 81.3% after excluding the grey zone of OBP (n=125). The diagnostic agreement between 24hABP and HBP in the grey zone of OBP was 64%. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of HBP were 88.8%, 74.7, 93.5% and 61.5% after excluding the grey zone of HBP (130–134/80–84 mmHg, n=28). Based upon these results, we developed a diagnostic algorithm for hypertension by using on out-of-office BP measurements to improved diagnostic accuracy of hypertension (Figure). In the validation population, the developed algorithm showed similar diagnostic accuracy.
Diagnostic algorithm for hypertension
Conclusion
For accurate diagnosis of hypertension, OBP measurement according to guidelines and 24hABP measurement to grey zone of OBP is preferred. To improve diagnostic accuracy of HBP measurement, 24hABP measurement to grey zone of HBP is required.

Abstract
Postoperative nausea and vomiting is the most common side-effect of opioid-based intravenous patient-controlled analgesia. Apfel's simplified risk score is popular but it has some limitations. We developed and validated a dynamic predictive model for nausea or vomiting up to 48 postoperative hours, available as an online web application. Fentanyl was used by 22,144 adult patients for analgesia after non-cardiac surgery under general anaesthesia: we randomly divided them into development (80%) and validation (20%) cohorts, repeated 100 times. We used linear discriminant analysis to select variables for multivariate logistic regression. The incidences of postoperative nausea or vomiting were: 0-48 h, 5691/22,144 (26%); 0-6 h, 2749/22,144 (12%); 6-12 h, 2687/22,144 (12%); 12-18 h, 2624/22,144 (12%); 18-24 h, 1884/22,144 (9%); and 24-48 h, 1082/22,144 (5%). The median (95%CI) area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.72 (0.71-0.73) up to 48 postoperative hours compared with 0.65 (0.64-0.66) for the Apfel model, p < 0.001. The equivalent areas for 0-6 h, 6-12 h, 12-18 h, 18-24 h and 24-48 h were: 0.70 (0.69-0.72); 0.71 (0.69-0.73); 0.69 (0.68-0.71); 0.70 (0.67-0.72); and 0.69 (0.66-0.71), respectively. Our web application allows clinicians to calculate incidences of nausea and vomiting in patients receiving intravenous fentanyl for patient-controlled analgesia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the acceptance of, adherence to, and outcomes of latent tuberculous infection (LTBI) treatment among health care workers (HCWs). DESIGN This was a retrospective study in a tertiary hospital in Korea. From May to August 2017, 2190 HCWs simultaneously underwent a tuberculin skin test (TST) and interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA). LTBI was diagnosed if the TST induration was 10 mm or IGRA results were positive. RESULTS Of 2190 HCWs tested, 1006 (45.9%) were diagnosed with LTBI. Of these, 655 (65.1%) HCWs visited out-patient clinics, 234 (35.7%) of whom were advised treatment by physicians. Among these, 120 (51.3%) accepted the physicians' recommendations. In general, HCWs who were older, male and smoked were less likely to visit out-patient clinics. Sixty (50%) HCWs received 3 months of isoniazid plus rifampicin (3HR) and 57 (47.5%) HCWs received 4 months of rifampicin (4R). The proportion of HCWs with 2 side effects (3HR 20% vs. 4R 7.0%, P = 0.041) and drug stoppage rate (3HR 20% vs. 4R 5.3%, P = 0.017) were higher in the 3HR group than in the 4R group. Of the 120 HCWs, 78 (65%) completed LTBI treatment. CONCLUSION Overall, the acceptance and completion rate for LTBI treatment was not adequate. For effective LTBI management in HCWs, further programmatic strategies are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early detection of local recurrence is important to increase the chance of cure because local recurrence is the main cause of treatment failure in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. We evaluated the added value of voxel-based color maps of dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging compared with conventional MR imaging alone for detecting local recurrence of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively enrolled 63 consecutive patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma after definitive treatment and posttreatment surveillance MR imaging studies that demonstrated focal enhancement at the primary site. Three independent readers assessed conventional MR imaging and a pair of color maps of initial and final 90-second time-signal intensity areas under the curve from dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging. The sensitivities, specificities, and accuracies of both conventional MR imaging alone and combined interpretation of conventional and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging were assessed using the clinicopathologic diagnosis as the criterion standard. κ statistics were used to evaluate interreader agreement. RESULTS There were 28 patients with subsequently documented local recurrence and 35 with posttreatment change. Adding dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging to conventional MR imaging significantly increased the diagnostic accuracies for detecting local recurrence (48%-54% versus 87%-91%; P < .05), with excellent interreader agreement (κ = 0.8; 95% CI, 0.67-0.92 to κ = 0.81; 95% CI, 0.69-0.93). By all 3 readers, the specificities were also significantly improved by adding dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging to conventional MR imaging (22%-43% versus 87%-91%; P < .001) without sacrificing the sensitivities (68%-82% versus 86%-89%; P > .05). CONCLUSIONS Adding voxel-based color maps of initial and final 90-second time-signal intensity areas under the curve from dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging to conventional MR imaging increases the diagnostic accuracy to detect local recurrence in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma by improving the specificity without sacrificing the sensitivity.

Abstract
PURPOSE Periauricular sensory deficit occurs frequently after parotidectomy even in cases with preservation of the greater auricular nerve (GAN). This study was performed to evaluate the effects of antiadhesive agent in functional recovery of the GAN after parotidectomy. METHODS Ninety-eight patients undergoing partial parotidectomy for benign parotid tumors were prospectively enrolled in this multicenter, double-blind randomized controlled study and randomly assigned to either the study or control group. Antiadhesive agent was applied in the study group. The results of sensory tests (tactile, heat, and cold sensitivity) and a questionnaire on quality of life (QoL) were acquired at postoperative 1, 8, and 24 weeks after surgery. Clinical parameters, and the results of the sensory tests and the questionnaire, were compared between the two groups. RESULTS A total of 80 patients were finally enrolled. On sensory evaluation, tactile sensation and warm sensation in the ear lobule, and warm sensation in the mastoid area, showed significant improvement at 24 weeks postoperatively in the study group. There were no significant differences between the two groups on any questions in the QoL questionnaire, at any follow-up time point. CONCLUSIONS Antiadhesive agents have some positive effects on functional recovery of the GAN after parotidectomy. Therefore, applying antiadhesive agents after parotidectomy can reduce discomfort in patients.

Abstract
We report a fuel-dependent reactor electron antineutrino (ν[over ¯]_{e}) yield using six 2.8 GW_{th} reactors in the Hanbit nuclear power plant complex, Yonggwang, Korea. The analysis uses 850 666 ν[over ¯]_{e} candidate events with a background fraction of 2.0% acquired through inverse beta decay (IBD) interactions in the near detector for 1807.9 live days from August 2011 to February 2018. Based on multiple fuel cycles, we observe a fuel ^{235}U dependent variation of measured IBD yields with a slope of (1.51±0.23)×10^{-43} cm^{2}/fission and measure a total average IBD yield of (5.84±0.13)×10^{-43} cm^{2}/fission. The hypothesis of no fuel-dependent IBD yield is ruled out at 6.6σ. The observed IBD yield variation over ^{235}U isotope fraction does not show significant deviation from the Huber-Mueller (HM) prediction at 1.3 σ. The measured fuel-dependent variation determines IBD yields of (6.15±0.19)×10^{-43} and (4.18±0.26)×10^{-43} cm^{2}/fission for two dominant fuel isotopes ^{235}U and ^{239}Pu, respectively. The measured IBD yield per ^{235}U fission shows the largest deficit relative to the HM prediction. Reevaluation of the ^{235}U IBD yield per fission may mostly solve the reactor antineutrino anomaly (RAA) while ^{239}Pu is not completely ruled out as a possible contributor to the anomaly. We also report a 2.9 σ correlation between the fractional change of the 5 MeV excess and the reactor fuel isotope fraction of ^{235}U.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify the perceived barriers to dental care for disabled people in South Korea using the revised Andersen's model of access to health care. BASIC RESEARCH DESIGN Cross-sectional analytic interview study. PARTICIPANTS Korean people with a disability residing in residential facilities, or those at home who attend vocational rehabilitation facilities, special schools, or welfare facilities, were sampled from Seoul and non-Seoul areas in 2016 and were interviewed face-to-face. In total, 456 disabled Koreans, or their primary caregivers participated. RESULTS Household income, disability duration and perceived barriers in the dental care system were perceived to impact on dental care utilisation, while the need for dental care services did not significantly explain the use of dental care by disabled people in South Korea. Those with low household incomes were less likely to use dental care services, compared to people with moderate and high household incomes. As disability duration increased, disabled people were more likely to use dental services. Those who perceived the barriers to dental care as higher were less likely to use dental services. CONCLUSION These data suggest that policies are needed to support disabled people with low household incomes. Lowering barriers in the dental care system may encourage people with disabilities to access timely and adequate dental services.

Abstract
Wild birds are monitored with the important objectives of identifying their habitats and estimating the size of their populations. Especially in the case of migratory bird, they are significantly recorded during specific periods of time to forecast any possible spread of animal disease such as avian influenza. This study led to the construction of deep-learning-based object-detection models with the aid of aerial photographs collected by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The dataset containing the aerial photographs includes diverse images of birds in various bird habitats and in the vicinity of lakes and on farmland. In addition, aerial images of bird decoys are captured to achieve various bird patterns and more accurate bird information. Bird detection models such as Faster Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (R-CNN), Region-based Fully Convolutional Network (R-FCN), Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD), Retinanet, and You Only Look Once (YOLO) were created and the performance of all models was estimated by comparing their computing speed and average precision. The test results show Faster R-CNN to be the most accurate and YOLO to be the fastest among the models. The combined results demonstrate that the use of deep-learning-based detection methods in combination with UAV aerial imagery is fairly suitable for bird detection in various environments.

Abstract
Despite advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis, disease-specific biomarkers have not been included in the classification criteria for Primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS). Based on a microarray of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS), we aimed to investigate whether soluble sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin (siglec)-5 in saliva might be a biomarker for pSS. The concentration of siglec-5 in saliva and sera was determined by ELISA. Clinical parameters related with pSS were obtained from pSS registry and correlation with salivary siglec-5 level was evaluated. Receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis was performed to determine cut off value. A separate validation cohort consisted of subjects with suspicious pSS was evaluated to determine the performance. The level of salivary siglec-5 was significantly higher in pSS patients (n = 170) compared with HCs (n = 25), non SS sicca patients (n = 78) or patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (n = 43) (1346.8 [202.8-4280.0] pg/mL, 6.08 [0-134.0] pg/mL, 195 [0-947.5] pg/mL, and 0 [0-238.7] pg/mL, median [interquartile range], P < 0.001). Salivary siglec-5 level negatively correlated with salivary flow rate (spearman's rho: -0.420, P < 0.001), and positively correlated with ocular surface score (rho: 0.331, P < 0.001) and serum immunoglobulin G level (rho = 0.202, P = 0.008). In ROC analysis, area under the curve was 0.774[0.724-0.826]. With a cut off value of 400 pg/mL, sensitivity and specificity was 0.69 and 0.70 respectively. In validation cohort (45 pSS patients and 45 non SS sicca patients), sensitivity and specificity of siglec-5 was 64.4% and 77.8%, respectively. In conclusion, the level of soluble siglec-5 is significantly higher in the saliva from pSS patients, which reflects the severity of hyposalivation and ocular surface damage. This novel salivary biomarker may provide benefits for pSS diagnosis.
