Abstract
BACKGROUND Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a widely explored therapeutic target in solid tumors. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab-pkrb, a biosimilar of trastuzumab, in combination with paclitaxel, in HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled 27 patients; they were administered a loading dose of 8 mg/kg trastuzumab-pkrb on day 1, followed by 6 mg/kg and 175 mg/m2 paclitaxel on day 1 every 3 weeks, intravenously. All patients received six cycles of the combination treatment and continued to receive trastuzumab-pkrb maintenance until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or for up to 2 years. HER2 positivity (based on immunohistochemistry analysis) was determined according to the 2013 American Society of Clinical Oncology /College of American Pathologists HER2 testing guidelines. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR); the secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. RESULTS Twenty-six patients were evaluated via primary endpoint analysis. The ORR was 48.1% (1 complete and 12 partial responses) and the duration of response was 6.9 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 4.4-9.3 months]. With a median follow-up of 10.5 months, the median PFS and OS were 8.4 months (95% CI 6.2-8.8 months) and 13.5 months (95% CI 9.8 months-not reached), respectively. The most common treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) of any grade was peripheral neuropathy (88.9%). The most common grade 3/4 TRAEs were neutropenia (25.9%), thrombocytopenia (7.4%), and anemia (7.4%). CONCLUSIONS Trastuzumab-pkrb plus paclitaxel demonstrates promising efficacy with manageable toxicity profiles in patients with HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic UC.

Abstract
The relationship between cancer and venous thromboembolism (VTE) has long been described. The risk of VTE in Asian patients with breast cancer remains largely unknown. This study described the incidence and risk factors of VTE in Korean patients with breast cancer. Data were collected from a retrospective database of patients who underwent breast cancer surgery between 2011 and 2020 at a single institution. The Cox proportional-hazards model was used to identify factors associated with VTE occurrences. Among the 2246 patients with breast cancer, 48 (2.1%) developed VTE during a median follow-up period of 53 months. The average incidence of VTE was 459 per 100,000 person-years. Age ≥ 60 years, male sex, chronic kidney disease, reconstructive procedures, and stage II or higher were independent predictive factors for VTE. VTE was associated with poor disease-free survival (hazard ratio (HR), 6.140; 95% confidence interval (CI), 3.480-10.835), and overall survival (HR, 8.842; 95% CI 4.386-17.824). Most VTE events were manageable with anticoagulation; three (6.3%) patients died of VTE, despite intensive care. The incidence of VTE was significantly elevated in Korean patients with breast cancer. Since VTE has a negative effect on oncologic outcomes of breast cancer, clinicians should manage its risk throughout their lifetime.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anticoagulants are the standard therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and antiplatelet therapy for those with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, compelling clinical evidence is still lacking regarding the long-term maintenance strategy with the combination of anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs in patients with AF and stable CAD. DESIGN The EPIC-CAD trial is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, open-label randomized trial comparing the safety and efficacy of 2 antithrombotic strategies in patients with high-risk AF (CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥ 2 points) and stable CAD (≥6 months after revascularization for stable angina or ≥12 months for acute coronary syndrome; or medical therapy alone). Patients (approximately N = 1,038) will be randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio to (1) monotherapy with edoxaban (a non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant) or (2) combination therapy with edoxaban plus a single antiplatelet agent. The primary endpoint is the net composite outcome of death from any cause, stroke, systemic embolism, myocardial infarction, unplanned revascularization, and major or clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding at 1 year after randomization. RESULTS As of December 2021, approximately 901 patients had been randomly enrolled over 2 years at 18 major cardiac centers across South Korea. The completed enrollment is expected at the mid-term of 2022, and the primary results will be available by 2023. CONCLUSIONS EPIC-CAD is a large-scale, multicenter, pragmatic design trial, which will provide valuable clinical insight into edoxaban-based long-term antithrombotic therapy in patients with high-risk AF and stable CAD.

Abstract
(1) Background and Purpose: Global cerebral ischemia-induced severe hypoxic brain damage is one of the main causes of mortality and long-term neurologic disability even after receiving early blood reperfusion. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that atorvastatin potentially has neuroprotective effects in global cerebral ischemia (GCI). (2) Methods: We performed two sets of experiments, analyzing acute (1-week) and chronic (4-week) treatments. For the vehicle (Veh) and statin treatments, 1 mL of 0.9% saline and 5 mg/kg of atorvastatin (ATOR) were administered orally. For histological analysis, we used the following staining protocols: Fluoro-Jade B and NeuN, 4-hydroxynonenal, CD11b and GFAP, IgG, SMI71, and vWF. Finally, we evaluated the cognitive function with a battery of behavioral tests. (3) Results: The GCI-ATOR group showed significantly reduced neuronal death, oxidative stress, inflammation, and BBB disruption compared with the GCI-Veh group. Moreover, the GCI-ATOR group showed decreased endothelial damage and VV proliferation and had significantly improved cognitive function compared with the GCI-Veh group in both models. (4) Conclusions: ATOR has neuroprotective effects and helps recover the cognitive function after GCI in rats. Therefore, administration of atorvastatin may be a therapeutic option in managing GCI after CA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction is a predictor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and plays an important role in vasospastic angina (VA). OBJECTIVES This study evaluated whether flow-mediated dilation (FMD) is also a good marker of 10-year ASCVD risk (10Y-ASCVDR) in patients with VA. METHODS Based on their clinical history and coronary artery diameter stenosis (DS), patients were retrospectively enrolled into VA (DS <50% and positive ergonovine provocation), minor coronary artery disease (mCAD, DS <30%), and significant coronary artery disease (sCAD, DS ≥50%) groups. Endothelial function was evaluated by FMD. RESULTS Each group contained 50 patients. The 10Y-ASCVDR was significantly higher in the sCAD group than in the VA and mCAD groups (10.86 ± 7.30, 4.71 ± 4.04, and 4.77 ± 4.30, respectively, p < 0.001). The FMD was significantly higher in the mCAD group than in the VA and sCAD groups (6.37 ± 4.25, 3.10 ± 2.23, and 3.07 ± 1.89, respectively, p < 0.001). A significant correlation was found between the FMD and 10Y-ASCVD in the mCAD group (r = -0.622, p < 0.001) and the sCAD group (r = -0.557, p < 0.001) but not in the VA group (r = -0.193, p = 0.179). After adjusting for potential confounders such as BMI, C-reactive protein, maximal coronary stenosis, and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, multivariate analysis showed that FMD was independently associated with 10Y-ASCVDR in all patients. However, when looking only at the VA group, FMD did not correlate independently with 10Y-ASCVDR. CONCLUSIONS Unlike mCAD and sCAD, we found no correlation between 10Y-ASCVDR and endothelial function in VA. Thus, our results support that FMD is not a good marker of atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk in VA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This retrospective study investigated the nature and severity of venom-induced consumption coagulopathy (VICC) and determined the clotting factors involved in VICC in patients after envenomation by South Korea's snakes. Additionally, we studied the effectiveness of antivenom for the treatment of VICC after envenomation. METHODS Included patients were divided into three groups according to the severity of VICC (no VICC, partial VICC, and complete VICC). Data, including changes in coagulation parameters during hospitalization and clotting factors at presentation, were collected and analyzed. RESULTS One hundred nineteen patients who presented at our emergency department within 3 h after snake envenomation were included. VICC developed in 34 patients (27 patients with partial VICC and 7 patients with complete VICC). Two of 34 patients with VICC required blood transfusions. Five patients with complete VICC had an undetectable fibrinogen concentration at presentation. Three patients with complete VICC had an unmeasurable INR and aPTT within 24 h. The median times of the most extreme values were 10 h for INR, 12 h for aPTT, and 16 h for fibrinogen after presentation in the VICC group. The D-dimer concentration peaked at a median of 63.5 h after presentation. The activities of factors II and X were significantly reduced in the complete VICC group (factor II: 88 (84-99.3)% in the non-VICC group vs. 69 (49.5-83.5)% in the complete VICC group; factor X:94 (83-102) in the non-VICC group vs. 70 (66.5-79.8)% in the complete VICC group), while there was no difference in factor V activity at presentation. The time from bite to first antivenom administration did not correlate with the time course and most extreme concentrations for fibrinogen and D-dimer within the VICC groups. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION VICC occurs in approximately one-quarter of snakebite patients in South Korea; however, VICC itself does not appear to lead to clinical deterioration. Fibrinogen is an early diagnostic maker for complete VICC. Clotting factors II and X are involved in VICC. Future investigations should explore the mechanism of VICC from Korean snakebites and the effect of antivenom on VICC.

Abstract
CONTENT This study investigated the incidence, progression and clinical course of myocardial injury-related snake envenomation in South Korea. In addition, this study evaluated whether antivenom guidelines are appropriate to control envenomation in patients with myocardial injury. METHODS The study included 198 patients who received antivenom after a snakebite, and they were divided into two groups according to evidence of myocardial injury (defined as elevated troponin I or ischemic change on electrocardiogram) at presentation. Data including serial troponin I, echocardiogram/coronary angiogram findings, the clinical course, and treatment were collected and analyzed. RESULTS The incidence of myocardial injury at presentation was 15.2%. The troponin I level was 0.11 (0.07-0.56) ng/ml at presentation and tended to decrease over 24 h. Echocardiograms revealed neither regional wall motion abnormalities nor left ventricular dysfunction in 15 of 17 patients, while two patients showed signs of coronary artery stenosis on echocardiograms and coronary angiograms. However, compared with patients without myocardial injury, patients with myocardial injury had a higher frequency of systemic envenomation complications, including bleeding, respiratory failure, hypotension, acute kidney injury, thrombocytopenia and venom-induced consumption coagulopathy (VICC). The patients with myocardial injury at presentation needed significantly more frequent and larger doses of antivenom than indicated by the initial severity of envenomation. Multivariate analysis showed that myocardial injury was associated with the need for additional antivenom administration after initial administration. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Myocardial injury is not uncommon after snake envenomation in Korea. Although myocardial injury itself seems to be benign, the clinical course of patients with myocardial injury is complicated, and myocardial injury is associated with the need for additional antivenom administration. The optimal use of antivenom to control envenomation in patents with myocardial injury after snake envenomation in South Korea should be established.

Abstract
There are limited data regarding the association between brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels obtained after weaning from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and the outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS)-associated cardiogenic shock.We prospectively obtained data regarding patients (aged ≥ 19 years) with ACS-associated cardiogenic shock who received ECMO and were subsequently weaned off the treatment. BNP levels were collected at 5 time points: pre-ECMO implantation, post-ECMO implantation, pre-ECMO weaning, day 1 after ECMO weaning, and day 5 after ECMO weaning.Of 48 patients with ACS-related cardiogenic shock, 33 were included in this analysis. Mean patient age was 59.0 (50.0-66.5) years, and 5 patients (15.2%) were women. Eight patients had asystole/pulseless electrical activity before ECMO and 14 (42.4%) had 3-vessel disease on coronary angiography. During the 6-month follow up, 12 (36.4%) patients died. BNP levels after ECMO weaning were significantly different between 6-month survivors and non-survivors. Cox proportional hazards model revealed that BNP levels (tertiles) on days 1 and 5 after ECMO weaning were significantly associated with 6-month mortality (hazard ratio, 7.872; 95% confidence interval, 1.870-32.756; 8.658 and 1.904-39.365, respectively). According to the Kaplan-Meier curves, the first tertile had significantly longer survival compared to the third tertile for both days 1 and 5 after ECMO weaning.Post-ECMO weaning BNP levels (days 1 and 5) were significantly associated with increased 6-month mortality in patients with ACS complicated by refractory cardiogenic shock who were weaned off ECMO.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to identify the determinant factors of survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and refractory cardiogenic shock (RCS) who underwent veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Methods Sixty-nine consecutive patients with AMI-related RCS were enrolled in the study. They were treated with ECMO and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The clinical scores and coronary angiography (CAG) factors related to 100-day survival were evaluated. Results Thirty patients (43.5%) survived for more than 100 days. The CAG showed that 19 (27.5%) patients had left main disease (LMD). There were 17 (24.6%), 27 (39.1%), and 25 (36.3%) patients with one-vessel, two-vessel, and three-vessel disease, respectively. There were significant differences between the survivors and non-survivors in the simplified acute physiology score II (SAPSII) (65.4±17.2 vs. 83.1±13.0, P<0.001), sepsis-related organ failure assessment score (SOFA) (10.4±2.7 vs. 12.3±2.5, P=0.004), survival after veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation score (SAVE) (-4.4±4.3 vs. -8.4±3.1, P<0.001), CPR time (15.8±16.6 vs. 30.0±29.5, P=0.048), LMD [4 (13.3%) vs. 15 (38.5%), P=0.029], and number of coronary artery disease (NCAD) (P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NCAD (OR 3.788, P=0.008) was one of the independent predictors of mortality. The ROC analysis showed that SAPSII (AUC 0.786, P<0.001), SOFA (AUC 0.715, P=0.002), and SAVE (AUC 0.766, P<0.001) equally predict mortality. The combined NCAD parameters more accurately predicted mortality and differences in the AUC values (d-AUC) between SAPSII plus NCAD vs. SAPSII (d-AUC 0.073, z=2.256, P=0.024), SOFA plus NCAD vs. SOFA (d-AUC 0.058, z=2.773, P=0.006), and SAVE plus NCAD vs. SAVE (d-AUC 0.036, z=2.332, P=0.020). Conclusions The SAPSII, SOFA, and SAVE scores predict the prognosis of ECMO-treated AMI patients with RCS. The CAG findings reinforce the predictive power of each score.

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
BACKGROUND Endothelial function is an independent predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD) and is regulated by a number of factors, including blood pressure. OBJECTIVES The current study was designed to test the hypothesis that intra-arterial invasive central blood pressure is strongly associated with endothelial function in patients with CAD. METHODS In patient with CAD (diameter stenosis ≥30%), invasive central (aortic) and left peripheral (brachial) blood pressures were determined during transradial coronary angiography. The endothelial function was evaluated by way of flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery. RESULTS We enrolled 413 consecutive patients. There were 260 patients with significant CAD (sCAD, diameter stenosis ≥50%) and 153 patients with nonsignificant CAD (nsCAD, diameter stenosis <50% and ≤30%). FMD was significantly and inversely correlated with central and peripheral parameters in terms of systolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and pulse pressure (PP) (r = -0.332, r = -0.184, and r = -0.407, respectively, all P < 0.001) and (r = -0.303, r = -0.190, and r = -0.319, respectively, all P < 0.001). Compared with sCAD, there was closer correlation between central PP with FMD in nsCAD (r = -0.548 vs. r = -0.345, both P < 0.001). After adjusting potential confounders such as age, body mass index and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, multivariate analysis showed that FMD remained independently associated with central PP, degree of coronary artery stenosis, and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity in all patients. In patients with nsCAD, the multivariate analysis showed that only central PP was independently correlated with FMD. CONCLUSIONS In patients with stable CAD, a decline in endothelial function is most closely associated with invasive central pulse pressure.

Abstract
We investigated whether self-blood pressure monitoring (SBPM) can improve the control rate of blood pressure (BP), adherence of antihypertensive medications, and the awareness of the importance of BP control in hypertensive patients. A total of 7751 patients who visited the outpatient clinics of private and university hospitals in Korea were given automatic electronic BP monitors and were recommended to measure their BP daily at home for 3 months. Changes in office BP, attainment of target BP, adherence to taking antihypertensive drugs, and awareness of BP were compared before and after SBPM. Patients and physicians were surveyed on their perception of BP and SBPM. Mean BP significantly decreased from 142/88 to 129/80 mm Hg (P < .001), and attainment of the target BP increased from 32% to 59% (P < .001) after SBPM. Drug non-adherence, which was defined as patient's not taking medication days per week, decreased significantly from 0.86 days to 0.53 days (P < .001). The rate of awareness of the BP goal increased from 57% to 81% (P < .001). Patients estimated that their mean BP was 125/81 mm Hg, but their actual mean BP was 142/88 mm Hg. Awareness about the importance of SBPM increased from 90% to 98%. The rate of SBPM ≥ once per week further increased, from 34% to 96%. In conclusion, SBPM is associated with reduced BP, better BP control rate, greater drug adherence, and improved perception of BP by the patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Genetic alteration of Estrogen Receptor 1(ESR1) gene have been associated with acquired endocrine resistance and occurred in about 20% of endocrine resistant estrogen receptor(ER)-positive metastatic breast cancer(MBC). Mutations in ligand binding domain of ESR1 lead to constitutive activity of the ER without ligand estrogen and stimulated down stream cell growth signal. Therefore, ESR1 ligand binding domain alteration is known resistant mechanism of aromatase inhibitor. Among these ESR1 mutations, Y537S, one of the ligand binding domain mutations, caused ER antagonist, fulvestrant resistance. Therefore, assessment of ESR1 mutation in ER-positive MBC had significant benefit to further precision medicine for MBCs. In this study, we explored to identify the frequency and type of ESR1 genetic alterations of ER-positive MBC.
Methods: We performed targeted ultra-deep sequencing (CancerSCAN™) using BC tissue specimens. This sequencing was covered entire coding area of ESR1 gene and also detected copy number alteration and translocation of ESR1.
Results: Targeted ultra-deep sequencing of ESR1 was performed using 990 BC tissues. Of 990 tissue samples, 341(34.5%) were MBCs. Of MBCs, 112(11.3%) were ER-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-negative BCs. In ER-positive HER2-negative MBCs (N=112), 21 ESR1 genetic alterations were identified in 19 BCs (17.0%). Nineteen were single nucleotide variats (SNVs) and three were copy number (CN) amplification. Most commonly detected single nucleotide variant (SNV) was D538G (6 of 19, 31.6%) followed by Y537N, Y537S, V382I (4, 2 and 2 cases, respectively). Three mutations occurred in non-ligand binding domain (G415V, V392I and P79A). Two BC samples harbored two ESR1 mutations, respectively (Y537S and D538G, L536P and Y537N). In terms of treatment, 11 of 12 patients with ER-positive MBC harboring ESR1 mutation received palliative endocrine therapies. Eight patients received aromatase inhibitor and two patients received tamoxifen. One patient received letrozole plus palbociclib. In 2 MBCs with Y537S mutation, progression free survival (PFS) of endocrine therapy was 1.4 and 5.3 months. MBCs with D538G had 12.3months of PFS (range, 5.3-23.7(months)) and BCs harboring another ligand binding domain mutations (Y537N, L536H and L536P) had 15.7months of PFS of endocrine therapy (range, 8.4-17.3(months)). BC with mutation observed in non-lignand binding domain had short PFS (1.8 (V392I) and 2.7 (P79A) months, respectively). In terms of ESR1 CN amplification, patients could not receive endocrine therapy because their BCs rapidly progressed and extensive distant metastases were occurred within 3 months after curative surgery.
Conclusion: In this exploratory study, ESR1 genetic alterations were detected in about 20% of ER-positive MBC. The type of genetic alterations varied including SNVs, CNAs. Each locus of ESR1 mutation predicted endocrine resistance. In addition, we might suggest that ESR1 CN amplification is prognostic marker of ER-positive BCs.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction : A phase II, multicenter, randomized clinical trial of the comparison between eribulin plus gemcitabine (EG) and paclitaxel plus gemcitabine (PG) as first-line chemotherapy for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC) found EG was less neurotoxic, but had similar efficacy of PG. In this study, we performed exploratory biomarker analysis of the impact of genetic alterations on the efficacy according to EG and PG chemotherapy.
Methods : This biomarker study was conducted using tumor samples from 40patients. When tissue collection was possible after disease progression, we performed paired sample analysis. Tumor DNA and RNA were extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. To perform targeted deep sequencing, we used CancerScanTM, a 375 cancer gene panel. And we performed an nCounter expression assay for gene expression analysis using 730 PanCancer panel and 730 Immune panel.
Results: In total, we obtained 44 tissue samples from 40 patients. Twenty two patients were assigned in EG arm and 18 patients were in PG arm. Thirty-eight were at baseline and six after disease progression. Gene expression assay were performed in 44 tissue samples but only 31 samples were possible to be targeted deep sequencing.
We performed differently expressed gene(DEG) analysis for detecting the association between level of gene expression and disease progression. In this analysis, high expression of CCNE1, TGFB4 and BAMBI and low expression of DDB2, CD14 and SHC3 were associated with disease progression among 730 PanCancer panel genes (p<0.05, respectively). In terms of immune panel genes, most of immune related genes were highly expressed in a group without disease progression compared with that with disease progression. Only 2 genes, C8G and CD24 were highly expressed in a group with disease progression. Paired sample analysis showed that expression levels of THBS4 and CD27 decreased after disease progression while those of CCNE2 and FGFR4 increased.
In targeted deep sequencing, FAT3 (42.3%) was most frequently mutated gene followed by PKHD1, PIK3CA and TP53. Among mutated genes, EWSR1 mutation and upstream mutation of ETV1 were associated with disease progression, respectively (p<0.05, respectively). In mutation signature analysis, signature 1 (S, age related), S3(homologous recombination deficiency, HRD), S6 (mismatch repair, MMR), S20(MMR) and S21(microsatellite instability, MSI) were enriched in this population. Mutation signature 3 related to short disease free survival (p=0.0026).
Conclusion: In gene expression analysis, high expression of TGF-B signaling pathway related genes was associated with disease progression while high expression of immune related genes were related to prolonged disease free survival. In mutation analysis, EWSR1 and ETV1 mutations indicated short disease free interval and HRD mutation signature was also related to poor prognosis.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
Assessment of restoration of ovarian function after chemotherapy is critical with respect to the initiation of different types of endocrine treatment in young high risk breast cancer patients
METHODS
In total, 1289 women who remained premenopausal or resumed premenopausal status after chemotherapy were randomized to receive 5 years of tamoxifen or 5 years of tamoxifen plus 2 years of ovarian suppression. The patients who did not resume menstruation were followed up for 2 years with tamoxifen treatment after finishing chemotherapy. Prospectively collected consecutive post-chemotherapy hormone and menstruation data were available for 705 breast cancer patients who enrolled tamoxifen-only treatment group or did not resume menstruation during follow up. This analysis evaluated the proportion of patients with pre-menopausal FSH levels (<30 mIU/ml), E2 levels (340 pg/ml), and menstruation at any time point during treatment with tamoxifen.
RESULTS
During 5 years of tamoxifen treatment after chemotherapy for premenopausal breast cancer patients, 62% of patients resumed menstruation. Menstruation returned in 92% of patients under 35 years old but only in 31% of patients over 45 years old. Ovarian function, defined by serum FSH and E2 levels, resumed in 94% and 65% of patients, respectively, over 5 years. Most patients achieved ovarian function restoration during the first 2 years after chemotherapy, with 47.1% resuming menstruation and 86.2% and 50.3% achieving pre-menopausal FSH and E2 levels, respectively, in the first 2 years. Clinical factors related to menstruation restoration were younger age (HR = 6.38, 95% CI 1.33-3.47), 6 month hormone profile after chemotherapy (FSH<30: HR=1.67, 95% CI 1.28-2.17; E2 >40: HR=2.96, 95% CI 2.25-3.89), and anthracycline without taxane chemotherapy (HR=1.63, 95% CI 1.25-2.13).
CONCLUSIONS
During 5 years of tamoxifen treatment after chemotherapy, half of patients experienced menstruation restoration, including most very young patients under 35 years. The majority of patients experienced menstruation restoration in the first 2 years of tamoxifen treatment.

In this paper, we propose an asymmetric split-loop resonator with an outer square loop (ASLR-OSL) based on vanadium dioxide (VO2) which can actively control the transmission characteristics of a terahertz wave while maintaining a high quality factor of the asymmetric split-loop resonator (ASLR) by adding an outer square loop. The proposed ASLR-OSL demonstrated transmission characteristics similar to those of ASLR, and the transmission characteristics of ASLR-OSL were successfully controlled by directly applying a bias voltage. These results show a simple method for imposing active properties on a common metamaterial having a high quality factor by adding a loop structure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various allergenic proteins are produced by house dust mites (HDM). However, the allergenicity and clinical implications of these allergens are unknown. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to identify allergens in Dermatophagoides farinae and elucidate the sensitization profiles to these in Korean patients suffering from respiratory (allergic rhinitis and/or asthma) and atopic dermatitis symptoms. METHODS IgE reactivities in sera from 160 HDM allergy patients were analysed by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. IgE-reactive components were identified by liquid chromatography-coupled electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry. Nine recombinant mite allergens (Der f 1, Der f 2, Der f 10, Der f 11, Der f 13, Der f 14, Der f 30, Der f 32 and Der f Alt a 10) were produced, and the IgE reactivity in sera to each was determined by ELISAs. RESULTS Der f 1 and Der f 2 were recognized by IgE in serum samples from 88.1% and 78.1% of all patients, respectively. Patients with respiratory allergies were mainly sensitized to these major allergens, whereas patients with atopic dermatitis symptoms showed polysensitization to major and minor allergen components (including Der f 11, Der f 13, Der f 14, Der f 32 and Der f Alt a 10). CONCLUSIONS Patients with respiratory allergic disease sensitize to major allergen components of HDM. Those with atopic dermatitis were sensitized to a broader range of minor allergen components of HDM (Der f 11, Der f 13, Der f 14, Der f 32 and Der f Alt a 10).

Abstract
An increase in the ratio of the brachial pre-ejection period to brachial ejection time [pre-ejection period (PEP)/ET] is correlated with a decrease of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The current study was designed to test the hypothesis that the change value (Δ) of PEP/ET is a useful indicator of Δ LVEF in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction.We consecutively enrolled 104 patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVEF < 45%). PEP/ET, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), and LVEF were evaluated at baseline and at 6-month follow-up. Compared with the baseline measurements, the 6-month values of ΔLVEF, ΔBNP, and ΔPEP/ET were 9.8% ± 9.0% (from 36.3% ± 9.2% to 46.3% ± 12.5%, P < 0.001), -168.5 ± 255.4 (from 271.4 ± 282.5 to 104.1 ± 129.6, P < 0.001), and -0.060 ± 0.069 (from 0.413 ± 0.097 to 0.358 ± 0.079, P < 0.001), respectively. There were significant correlations between LVEF and PEP/ET and between LVEF and BNP in both the initial (r = -0.316, P = 0.001 and r = -0.598, P < 0.001, respectively) and 6-month follow-up (r = -0.307, P = 0.003 and r = -0.701, P < 0.001, respectively). The Steiger's Z test showed that BNP had a significantly stronger correlation with LVEF compared with the correlations between LVEF and PEP/ET in both the initial and 6-month studies (Z = 2.471, P = 0.013 and Z = 3.575, P < 0.001, respectively). There were also significant correlations between ΔLVEF and ΔPEP/ET (r = -0.515, P < 0.001) and between ΔLVEF and ΔBNP (r = -0.581, P < 0.001); however, there was no difference between the correlations for ΔLVEF and ΔPEP/ET versus ΔLVEF and ΔBNP (Steiger's Z = 0.600, P = 0.545).In patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction not only ΔBNP but also ΔPEP/ET could be a simple indicator of predicting change of LVEF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ossabaw pigs are unique miniature swine with genetic predisposition to develop metabolic syndrome and coronary atherosclerosis after extended periods receiving atherogenic diets. We have hypothesized that transgenic Ossabaw swine expressing chimp PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin-like/kexin type 9) containing the D374Y gain of function would develop familial hypercholesterolemia and coronary artery plaques more rapidly than Landrace swine with the same transgene. METHODS AND RESULTS Ossabaw and Landrace PCSK9 gain-of-function founders were generated by Sleeping Beauty transposition and cloning. Histopathologic findings in the Ossabaw founder animal showed more advanced plaques and higher stenosis than in the Landrace founder, underscoring the Ossabaw genetic predisposition to atherosclerosis. We chose to further characterize the Ossabaw PCSK9 gain-of-function animals receiving standard or atherogenic diets in a 6-month longitudinal study using computed tomography, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, intravascular ultrasound, and optical coherence tomography, followed by pathological analysis of atherosclerosis focused on the coronary arteries. The Ossabaw model was consistently hypercholesterolemic, with or without dietary challenge, and by 6 months had consistent and diffuse fibrofatty or fibroatheromatous plaques with necrosis, overlying fibrous caps, and calcification in up to 10% of coronary plaques. CONCLUSIONS The Ossabaw PCSK9 gain-of-function model provides consistent and robust disease development in a time frame that is practical for use in preclinical therapeutic evaluation to drive innovation. Although no animal model perfectly mimics the human condition, this genetic large-animal model is a novel tool for testing therapeutic interventions in the context of developing and advanced coronary artery disease.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of a commercially available porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV)-1 modified-live virus (MLV) vaccine against PRRSV-1 and PRRSV-2 challenge in late-term pregnancy gilts. Gilts were vaccinated with the PRRSV-1 MLV vaccine at 4 weeks prior to breeding and then challenged intranasally with PRRSV-1 or PRRSV-2 at 93 days of gestation. After PRRSV-1 challenge, vaccinated pregnant gilts had a significantly longer gestation period, significantly higher numbers of live-born and weaned piglets and a significantly lower number of stillborn piglets at birth compared to unvaccinated pregnant gilts. No significant improvement in reproductive performance was observed between vaccinated and unvaccinated pregnant gilts following PRRSV-2 challenge. Vaccinated pregnant gilts also exhibited a significantly improved reproductive performance after challenge with PRRSV-1 compared to vaccinated pregnant gilts following PRRSV-2 challenge. The PRRSV-1 MLV vaccine was able to reduce PRRSV-1 but not PRRSV-2 viremia in pregnant gilts. Vaccinated gilts also showed a significantly higher number of PRRSV-1-specific IFN-γ-secreting cells (IFN-γ-SC) compared to PRRSV-2-specific IFN-γ-SC. The data presented here suggest that the vaccination of pregnant gilts with a PRRSV-1 MLV vaccine provides good protection against PRRSV-1 but only limited protection against PRRSV-2 challenge in late-term pregnancy gilts based on improvement of reproductive performance, reduction in viremia and induction of IFN-γ-SC.

Abstract
Transient cerebral ischemia (TCI) occurs when blood flow to the brain is ceased or dramatically reduced. TCI causes energy depletion and oxidative stress, which leads to neuronal death and cognitive impairment. Dichloroacetic acid (DCA) acts as an inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK). Additionally, DCA is known to increase mitochondrial pyruvate uptake and promotes glucose oxidation during glycolysis, thus enhancing pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity. In this study, we investigated whether the inhibition of PDK activity by DCA, which increases the rate of pyruvate conversion to adenosine triphosphate (ATP), prevents ischemia-induced neuronal death. We used a rat model of TCI, which was induced by common carotid artery occlusion and hypovolemia for 7 min while monitoring the electroencephalography for sustained isoelectric potential. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given an intraperitoneal injection of DCA (100 mg/kg) with pyruvate (50 mg/kg) once per day for 2 days after insult. The vehicle, DCA only or pyruvate on rats was injected on the same schedule. Our study demonstrated that the combined administration of DCA with pyruvate significantly decreased neuronal death, oxidative stress, microglia activation when compared with DCA, or pyruvate injection alone. These findings suggest that the administration of DCA with pyruvate may enhance essential metabolic processes, which in turn promotes the regenerative capacity of the post-ischemic brain.

Abstract
Scuticociliatosis is a devastating and intractable protozoal disease in olive flounder, leading to a significant loss throughout the year. This study aimed to investigate a systemically effective antiscuticociliatosis agent for olive flounder for better absorption into the infected internal organs. The in vitro and in vivo antiscuticociliatosis effects of clioquinol (CQ) were examined after screening 30 biocidal agents against the highly pathogenic scuticociliate Miamiensis avidus. CQ was the most potent in vitro drug of those tested against cultured M. avidus. CQ was the least toxic in healthy olive flounder among the drugs that exhibit high potencies. In olive flounder, a single intramuscular injection of 40 mg/kg CQ significantly reduced mortality caused by artificial infection with M. avidus, and 10-20 mg/kg CQ increased fish survival times. CQ was also effective in naturally infected scuticociliatosis. Ciliate cell numbers were lower when CQ was injected in most organs, including the brain. CQ was well absorbed by the internal organs after intramuscular injection. This study suggests that CQ can be considered as a potential antiscuticociliatosis agent for systemic administration in olive flounder.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Anthracycline (AC) and/or trastuzumab (T) are the most commonly used for neo-/adjuvant therapy for early breast cancer. However, use of those regimens are limited owing to congestive heart failure (CHF). Although reported incidence from pivotal trials is very low and acceptable, no big data-based population study has not been conducted in Koreans yet. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence, time to occurrence, and risk factors for CHF in patients with early breast cancer, who were treated with AC and/or T therapy, in Korea.
Methods: We used the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database and included women with no prior history of CHF who were aged >19 years and diagnosed as having early breast cancer between 2007 and 2016. Only patients who had received breast cancer surgery and AC and/or T therapy were included. Patients with metastatic cancer codes were excluded.
Result: In total, 86,086 patients were included for this analysis. The incidence and median time to occurrence of CHF according to chemotherapy type were, 3.27% and 683.5 days in the AC only group, 6.39% and 374 days in the AC followed by T group, and 4.43% and 286 days in the T with or without non-AC group, respectively.
The multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for CHF was increased with older age; in those aged ≥65 years versus <50 years (HR, 2.79; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.50–3.12). The HR in the AC followed by T group was significantly higher than that in the AC only group (HR, 2.21; 95% CI, 2.05-2.37). The T with or without non-AC group also showed a significantly higher HR than the AC only group (HR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.37-2.04). CCI scores of ≥2 were significant predictors of CHF; score 2 versus 0 (HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.18-1.45), and score ≥3 versus 0 (HR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.69-2.06). In addition, preexisting medical conditions were significant predictors for CHF: hypertension (HR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.45-1.72), diabetes (HR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.07-1.28), and ischemic heart disease (HR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.45-1.76).
Conclusion: This is the first big data-based population study in Korea on the development of CHF after treatment with AC and/or T. The overall incidence of CHF was 3% to 6%, with a median time to occurrence of 1 to 2 years. Adjusted HR increased with older age, AC followed by T therapy, CCI scores ≥2, and preexisting conditions.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recently, the balance in immune system between immune surveillance and tolerance is known to be associated with the prognosis of breast cancer patients. The aim of this study was to investigate changes of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and programmed death-ligand1 (PD-L1) status after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and their impact on recurrence in patients with locally advanced breast cancer.
Methods
Paired samples (before and after NAC) of triple negative or HER2+ breast cancer tissue were obtained from clinical stage II or III patients (n=39) undergoing NAC and subsequent breast resection. The assessment of immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for PD-L1 were performed. Immunostaining of forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) and CD4/CD8 were performed for subtyping of TILs in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) only. Clinicopathologic data including baseline characteristics, tumor response and recurrence were reviewed.
Results
Proportion of PD-L1 (+) tumor cells in pre-chemotherapy tissue was 20% (5/25) in HER2+ and 28.6% (4/14) in TNBC. It could not predict pathologic complete response. Most post-chemotherapy tissue (21/24) showed same PD-L1 positivity with pre-chemotherapy tissue. The rest showed the decreased PD-L1 positivity after NAC.
In cases of TNBC, the increased number of CD8+ T cells was significantly associated with PD-L1 positivity in pre-chemotherapy tissue. (p=0.001) Foxp3+ T cell proportions decreased significantly (p=0.046) and CD8+/Foxp3+ T-cell ratio increased significantly (p=0.023) after NAC. The patients with increased number of CD8+ T cells after NAC had a tendency to live longer without recurrence compared to patients with decreased CD8+ T cells (62.3 vs 38.1 months, p=0.158).
Conclusion
Our data provides the clinical evidence that PD-L1 positivity are associated with CD8+ T cell proportion and increased CD8+ T cells after NAC might be good prognostic marker. The role of immunologic balance as a prognostic marker for recurrence must be evaluated in future study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Histamine H2 receptor antagonists are commonly prescribed medications and are known to be well tolerated. However, 99 cases of ranitidine-induced anaphylaxis occurred in Korea from 2007 to 2014. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence, clinical features, and diagnostic methods for ranitidine-induced anaphylaxis. METHODS Ranitidine-related pharmacovigilance data from 2007 to 2014 were reviewed. Adverse drug reactions with causal relationships were selected, and clinical manifestations, outcomes, and drug-related information were assessed. For further investigation, 8 years of pharmacovigilance data were collected at a single centre. Twenty-three patients participated in in vivo and in vitro studies. Skin tests, oral provocation tests, and laboratory tests were performed, including tests using other kinds of histamine H2 receptor antagonists. RESULTS Over 7 years, 584 patients suffered adverse reactions to ranitidine. The most common manifestation was cutaneous symptoms. Among them, 99 patients (17.0%) experienced anaphylaxis. In a single-centre study, skin prick tests were positive in 91.7% of ranitidine-induced anaphylaxis patients (11/12); the optimal concentration was 20 mg/mL. Detection of ranitidine-specific immunoglobulin E failed. Cimetidine and proton pump inhibitors showed no cross-reactivity with ranitidine based on the skin prick test, oral provocation test, or clinical determination. Surprisingly, 82.6% of patients reintroduced ranitidine and re-experienced the same adverse reactions because ranitidine was not considered the culprit drug. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Although ranitidine is known as a safe drug, it can also cause diverse adverse reactions, including anaphylaxis. This study demonstrates the need to pay attention to adverse reactions to ranitidine and consider ranitidine as a cause of anaphylaxis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE SIRT1 has anti-inflammatory as well as protective effects in chondrocytes. The object of this study was to investigate whether microRNA-449a regulates expression of SIRT1, which inhibits expression of catabolic genes in IL-1β-induced cartilage destruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS MicroRNA-449a expression was determined in OA chondrocytes and IL-1β-induced chondrocytes by real-time PCR. MicroRNA-449a binding sites on the 3'-UTR of SIRT1 mRNA and binding site conservation were examined using microRNA target prediction tools. SIRT1-overexpressing or knockdown chondrocytes were transfected with microRNA-449a or anti-microRNA-449a mimic and stimulated by IL-1β. Expression of catabolic and anabolic genes was examined by real-time PCR and western blotting. Finally, positive effects of anti-microRNA-449a on expression of these genes were confirmed by western analysis of OA chondrocytes. RESULTS Expression of microRNA-449a was increased in OA chondrocytes and IL-1β-induced chondrocytes. MMP-13 expression was enhanced, whereas type II collagen and SIRT1 expression were decreased in IL-1β-induced chondrocytes. SIRT1 overexpression resulted in decreased expression of catabolic genes such as MMPs and ADAMTSs in response to IL-1β, but these effects were moderated by microRNA-449a. Suppression of microRNA-449a by anti-microRNA-449a inhibited expression of catabolic genes despite IL-1β stimulation, but these effects were abolished in SIRT1 knockdown chondrocytes. Furthermore, expression of catabolic genes was decreased and expression of type II collagen as well as SIRT1 was restored by anti-microRNA-449a in OA chondrocytes as well as in IL-1β-induced chondrocytes. CONCLUSION Silencing of microRNA-449a had a protective effect, inhibiting catabolic gene expression and restoring anabolic gene expression, by targeting SIRT1 in IL-1β-induced cartilage destruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is acute, but completely reversible in the absence of significant coronary artery disease. This study aims to assess the functional recovery of regional myocardial deformation in patients with TC using 2-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography. METHODS Thirty-three patients diagnosed with TC (mean age 63 years, 26 female) prospectively underwent serial 2D echocardiography on day 1 (initial presentation), day 4 [the middle, interquartile range (IQR), 2-5 days], and day 21 (recovery, IQR 13-32 days). Twenty-one (64%) patients showed classical type of TC with akinesis of mid-left ventricular (LV) and apical segments and 12 (36%) of patients presented with mid-LV variant with apical sparing. Myocardial deformations were serially assessed using 2D strain analysis. All echocardiographic values on day 21 were compared with the corresponding values from 30 controls of similar age and gender. RESULTS LV ejection fraction (EF) gradually improved at follow-up (32±8% on day 1 vs. 62±4% on day 21, p<0.001). Despite no difference in LVEF between the patients with complete recovery (LVEF >60% on day 21) and controls, the patients showed significantly lower global longitudinal strain than controls. On regional analysis of the mid-LV segments, both longitudinal and circumferential strains of patients with TC were similarly diminished on day 1. During recovery, longitudinal strain showed more delayed recovery than circumferential strain compared to the values of controls. In LV apex of controls, circumferential strain normally presented higher value than longitudinal strain. In LV apex of patients with classical TC, the reduced circumferential strain on day 1 rapidly increased with a wide variation to maintain augmented circumferential shortening. CONCLUSIONS Quantifying LV myocardial deformation in patients with TC is informative in the detection of persistent subtle LV dysfunction and improves our understanding of regional myocardial mechanics during recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is increasing evidence implying that the early and functionally highly active circulating endothelial progenitor cell (CEPC) phenotype (CD34-/CD133+/KDR+) with osteogenic potential (OCN+) might link between vascular atherosclerotic calcification and mechanisms of bone metabolism. We sought to evaluate the early OCN+ CEPC counts as an independent biomarker for the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS Peripheral blood samples were drawn from 593 patients undergoing clinically indicated coronary angiography. CAD severity was assessed by the presence of significant coronary artery stenosis (CAS) as well as an ordinal categorical variable. Subjects were followed for all-cause death over a median follow-up of 40months. RESULTS OCN+ early CEPC counts (square-root transformed) were independently associated with the presence of significant CAS [odds ratio (OR) per standard deviation (SD) increment: 1.389, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.131 to 1.707, p=0.002). Similar association was observed with an increase in levels of CAS (OR: 1.353, 95% CI: 1.157 to 1.582, p<0.001). There was a weak tendency between OCN+ early CEPC counts and all-cause mortality (p=0.090), whereas the highest decile of OCN+ early CEPC counts had a 2.991-fold increased risk of all-cause death (p=0.047). CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate for the first time an independent, significant, and strong correlation between OCN+ early CEPC counts and CAD severity. Additionally, very high numbers of OCN+ early CEPC tend to be linked to the risk of all-cause mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE This multi-center, randomized, phase III study was conducted to demonstrate the non-inferiority of DA-3031 compared with daily filgrastim in patients during the first cycle of chemotherapy for breast cancer in terms of the duration of severe neutropenia (DSN). METHODS Seventy-four patients with breast cancer who were receiving combination chemotherapy with docetaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (TAC) were enrolled. All participants were randomized to receive either daily subcutaneous injections of filgrastim 100 μg/m2/day for up to 10 days or a single subcutaneous injection of DA-3031 at fixed doses of 6 mg on day 2 of each chemotherapy cycle. RESULTS The mean duration of grade 4 (G4) neutropenia in cycle 1 was 2.08 ± 0.85 days for the filgrastim group and 2.28 ± 1.14 days for the DA-3031 group. The difference between groups was 0.2 ± 1.10 days (95 % confidence interval (CI) = -0.26, 0.66), which supported non-inferiority. No statistically significant differences were observed in nadir absolute neutrophil count (ANC) (154.34/mm3 and 161.75/mm3 for the filgrastim and DA-3031 groups, respectively; P = 0.8414) or in time to ANC recovery (10.03 ± 0.75 and 9.83 ± 1.56 days in the filgrastim and DA-3031 groups, respectively; P = 0.0611) during cycle 1. Serious AEs occurred in six (15.8 %) patients receiving filgrastim and in ten (27.8 %) patients receiving DA-3031; however, none was determined to be related to the study drug. CONCLUSIONS DA-3031 and daily filgrastim are similar in regard to DSN and safety in breast cancer patients receiving TAC chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The vasa vasorum (VV) plays a role in the initial phase of atherosclerosis, and abnormalities in microvascular function may be sensitive measures of the early development of atherosclerosis. The current study was designed to access the association between coronary microvascular function and VV density in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. METHODS Twenty-four patients with early coronary artery disease underwent endothelium-dependent (coronary blood flow, CBF) and endothelium-independent (coronary flow velocity reserve, CFVR) coronary microvascular function testing, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). Using an intracoronary Doppler guidewire, CBF was examined by evaluating changes in blood flow in response to acetylcholine and CFVR in response to adenosine. VV density (VV volume/vessel volume × 100, %VV) of the proximal 10 mm of the LAD was quantified by OCT. RESULTS The median values (Q1, Q3) of CFVR, % changes in CBF in response to acetylcholine, and the %VV were 2.70 (2.30, 2.90), -16.82 (-42.34, 54.52), and 2.62 (2.35, 3.35), respectively. %VV correlated inversely with CBF (r = -0.614, p = 0.001) and directly with CFVR (r = 0.423, p = 0.040). Multivariate analysis showed that only %VV was significantly correlated with CBF and the association was independent of other clinical variables, Framingham risk score, body mass index, and a family history of coronary heart disease. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that VV density has negative correlation with endothelium-dependent microvascular function in patients with early coronary atherosclerosis. These observations link adventitial VV structure and function to microvascular dysfunction in early coronary atherosclerosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate endothelial function and cardiovascular autonomic activity in patients with neurally mediated syncope (NMS). METHODS Patients with a typical history of NMS were divided according to the result of a head-up tilt (HUT) test. There were 25 patients each in the HUT-positive (HUT+), HUT-negative (HUT-) and control groups. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiography (AECG) were performed before the HUT tests. RESULTS The HUT+ group had a significantly higher FMD than that of the HUT- group and the control group (8.8 ± 3.3 vs. 6.4 ± 2.9%, p = 0.006, and 8.8 ± 3.3 vs. 5.7 ± 2.2%, p = 0.001, respectively). On a 24-hour AECG, the parasympathetic indexes of time domain, such as rMSSD and the pNN50, were significantly higher in the HUT+ group than in the HUT- group (39.0 ± 9.6 vs. 31.6 ± 9.6 ms, p = 0.016, and 16.5 ± 8.1 vs. 10.2 ± 7.2%, p = 0.002, respectively) and the control group (39.0 ± 9.6 vs. 28.9 ± 9.6%, p = 0.001 and 16.5 ± 8.1 vs. 8.7 ± 6.7%, p = 0.001, respectively). High-frequency spectra (parasympathetic activity) of the frequency domain showed similar results. CONCLUSIONS Not only parasympathetic activity, but also endothelial function may affect the results of HUT tests in patients with NMS.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is an established surrogate marker of atherosclerosis. However, cIMT may not reflect the whole arterial changes occurring in various pathologic conditions, such as hypertension. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether vascular properties of carotid artery (CA) in patients with hypertension differ from those of patients with diabetes and controls before the progression of cIMT. METHODS Vascular properties of CA were assessed in 402 consecutive asymptomatic subjects who have normal cIMT (131 with hypertension, 151 with diabetes mellitus, and 120 controls). Conventional carotid stiffness indices calculated from vessel diameter and blood pressure, and parameters from velocity-vector imaging (VVI), including vessel area, fractional area change (FAC), radial velocity, circumferential strain, and strain rate were measured to assess the differences between the groups. RESULTS In univariate analysis, both patients with hypertension and diabetes showed higher elastic modulus, lower distensibility coefficients and FAC of VVI than those of controls. However, when adjusting for baseline covariates, only FAC (odds ratio [OR] = 0.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.70-0.97, p = 0.025) and vessel area (OR = 2.84, 95% CI = 1.64-4.91, p < 0.001) discriminated CA of patients with hypertension from those of controls. Also, patients with hypertension showed larger vessel area than diabetes (OR = 2.58, 95% CI = 1.75-3.80, p < 0.001) independent of baseline covariates. No significant vascular parameter was found to discriminate patients with diabetes from controls after adjustments. CONCLUSION Despite normal cIMT, the CA of hypertensive patients was stiffer than those of controls and positive remodeling preceded the wall thickening independent of baseline covariates.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Endocrine therapy (E) has a major role in treatment of hormone receptor (HR)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). However, in contrast to western countries, premenopausal patients (PRE) more prevalent (50% of all breast cancer patients) and have less options of E than postmenopausal patients (POST) in Korea where the use of LHRH agonist in combination aromatase inhibitors (AIs) in PRE is restricted. Recently we have been successfully established nationwide cohort for the patients MBC (575 patients from 26 institutes). This study was designed to evaluate the role of E especially in PRE.
Methods
The patients with MBC were prospectively or retrospectively enrolled between September 2014 and May 2015. Only menopausal status-confirmed patients (296) were analyzed. Postmenopause was defined, based on NCCN guideline. Total duration of treatment was defined as the time from start day of any first treatment to end of any last treatment. Total duration of E was defined as the sum of time duration of each E. Overall survival was calculated from the start day of any treatment for MBC to any causes of death. This work is supported by National Strategic Coordinating Center for Clinical Research (H110C2020).
Results
A total of 296 patients with HR-positive MBC were analyzed [PRE, 169 (57.1%) and POST, 127 (42.9%)]. Except age (mean 44 and 60 years), baseline characteristics including in pathology, HER2 status, initial pathologic stage, de novo metastasis versus recurrence, surgery and adjuvant treatment (chemotherapy, endocrine therapy and radiotherapy) were well balanced. 92 (54.4%) of PRE and 77 (60.6%) of POST received at least one or more E through all treatment course. 41 (24.2%) of PRE and 44 (34.6%) received E as 1st-line treatment (p=0.034). Among PRE who received 1st-line of E, 30 (71.4%) and 9 (21.4%) of PRE received 2nd- and 3rd-line E. 20 (45.4%) and 10 (22.7%) of POST received 2nd- and 3rd- or more line of E. Most of PRE (54%) received tamoxifen+/-goserelin and 32% of PRE received AIs along with ovarian suppression. 71% of POST received AIs. As initial treatment, E was more frequently used in POST than in PRE (34.6% and 24.3%, p=0.053). Overall survival (OS) of all patients was 18.2 months (95% CI, 14.8-21.5). There was no difference in OS between PRE (17.8 months, 10.9-24.8) and POST (18.5 months, 95% CI, 13.2-23.9) (P=0.337). No difference of OS was observed (E, 18.1 moths, 95% CI, 13.0-23.3; chemotherapy 21.2 moths, 95% CI, 16.8-25.5), regardless of initial treatment. Total duration of treatment of PRE and POST were 15.2 and 13.6 months, respectively with no significant difference (p=0.389). PRE (8.3 moths, 95% CI,5.7-10.8) showed the trend toward longer duration of E in comparison with POST (5.5 moths, 95% CI,4.4-6.7), however the difference did not reach statistical significance (p=0.051).
Conclusion
E was more commonly used as 1st-line therapy in POST than in PRE. Although PRE had limited options of E, E was used in long duration of treatment especially in PRE. These findings suggested that E had a role in treatment for PRE with HR-positive MBC and could be used in treatment for PRE with good efficacy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recently, many clinical trials (TRIAL) especially incorporated with molecular-targeted agents are being conducted in treatment for breast cancer worldwide. However, the relation of participating clinical trials with survival has not been actively studied. This study was designed to evaluate whether participation in clinical trials could improve overall survival (OS) or not in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), compared with conventional treatment.
Method
Korean Cancer Study Group (KCSG) has successfully established Nationwide Cohort in KOREA to conduct diachronic analysis (KCSG BR 14-07). Clinical data for patients with MBC were collected from this Cohort. OS was defined as the time duration from first diagnosis of metastasis to any cause of death. This work is supported by National Strategic Coordinating Center for Clinical Research (H110C2020).
Results
A total of 575 patients with metastatic breast from 26 institutes in KOREA cancer MBC were consequently enrolled between September 2014 and May 2015. 156 (27.1%) of patients were enrolled to at least one or more clinical trials and 419 patients received only conventional treatment (CONV). Age, hormone status, HER2 status, initial pathologic stage, metastasis versus recurrence, adjuvant treatment, ECOG performance status (PS) (0, 1 vs 2 or more) were similar between TRIAL and CONV. 30% of trials were associated with HER2-targeted agents. As initial treatment, chemotherapy was more frequently used in TRIAL (85.9%) than in CONV (79.0%) (P=0.038). Number of regimens of chemotherapy was greater in TRIAL (2.9+/-1.8) than CONV (2.1+/-1.6) (P<0.001). Number of regimens of endocrine therapy (E) was similar between TRIAL (1.4+/-0.6) and CONV (1.5+/-0.7) (P=0.474). Overall survival of all patients was 16.2 months (95% CI, 14.1-18.1). TRIAL showed significant prolongation of survival, compared with CONV [21.1 (95% CI, 17.7-24.6) vs 15.1 months (95% CI, 13.1-17.2); P=0.005]. The differences in OS was constantly observed in HER2-positive [23.8 (16.7-30.9) vs 17.2 months (95% CI, 12.4-21.9); P=0.018] and Triple-negative [15.4 (10.5-20.3) vs 12.0 months (95% CI, 10.2-13.8); P=0.025]. In multivariate analysis, initial metastasis, hormone status, ECOG PS did not influence on OS between TRIAL and CONV (P=0.849)
Conclusion
Participating in clinical trials could be associated with prolongation of survival. This results constantly maintained in HER2-positive and triple-negative MBC. These findings suggested that clinical trials are useful for the patients with MBC, even if the patients do not complete the standard treatment.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to compare outcomes of limited open and short wrist transverse techniques in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. In a single centre randomized controlled trial, 84 patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome were randomized before surgery to limited open or short wrist transverse open carpal tunnel release. The patients were evaluated at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 and 2 years after surgery. At every follow-up, the Brigham and Women's Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire scores, scar discomfort, and subjective patient satisfaction were evaluated. Two years after surgery, five patients were lost to follow-up. The groups had similar Brigham and Women's Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire Symptom Severity and Functional Status scores and subjective satisfaction scores. The incidence of scar discomfort was not significantly different between the two groups on serial postoperative follow-up. Short wrist transverse open release surgery showed similar early postoperative symptoms and subjective and functional outcomes to limited open release. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.

Abstract
Improvement of thermoelectric efficiency has been very challenging in the solid-state industry due to the interplay among transport coefficients which measure the efficiency. In this work, we modulate the geometry of nanowires to interrupt thermal transport with causing only a minimal impact on electronic transport properties, thereby maximizing the thermoelectric power generation. As it is essential to scrutinize comprehensively both electronic and thermal transport behaviors for nano-scale thermoelectric devices, we investigate the Seebeck coefficient, the electrical conductance, and the thermal conductivity of sinusoidally corrugated silicon nanowires and eventually look into an enhancement of the thermoelectric figure-of-merit [Formula: see text] from the modulated nanowires over typical straight nanowires. A loss in the electronic transport coefficient is calculated with the recursive Green function along with the Landauer formalism, and the thermal transport is simulated with the molecular dynamics. In contrast to a small influence on the thermopower and the electrical conductance of the geometry-modulated nanowires, a large reduction of the thermal conductivity yields an enhancement of the efficiency by 10% to 35% from the typical nanowires. We find that this approach can be easily extended to various structures and materials as we consider the geometrical modulation as a sole source of perturbation to the system.

Abstract
Intensive glycemic control may increase cardiovascular (CV) risk and mortality due to hypoglycemia. The pathophysiology of glucose counter-regulation in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes for over 15 years is characterized by impairment of the defense mechanisms against hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia causes pronounced physiological and pathophysiological effects on the CV system as consequences of autonomic system activation and counter regulatory hormones release. These effects provoke a series of hemodynamic changes that include an increase in heart rate and peripheral systolic blood pressure, a decrease in central blood pressure, reduced peripheral arterial resistance, and increased myocardial contractility and cardiac output. Cardiac electrophysiological changes including flattening or inversion of T waves, QT prolongation, and ST segment depression were observed in both insulin-induced and spontaneous hypoglycemia. Sympathoadrenal activation is the main cause of these changes through mechanisms that involve, but are not limited to, catecholamine-mediated hypokalemia. Hypoglycemia is also involved in platelet activation. There is growing concern about the long-term effects of hypoglycemia, especially as related to inflammation and atherogenesis.

Abstract
AIMS The current study was designed to test that vasa vasorum (VV) plays a role in the progression of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) in patients with heart transplantation (HTX). METHODS AND RESULTS Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed in the left anterior descending artery in 19 segments of 19 HTX patients (median 2.1 years from HTX). Each segment is composed of both the continuous lesions: (i) CAV area: intimal thickness >0.5 mm with 5 mm length and (ii) VV area: intimal thickness ≤0.5 mm with 5 mm length. The per cent VV volume (VV volume/vessel volume × 100, %VV) was evaluated in the VV area with OCT (in CAV area VV cannot be assessed because of limited penetration power of OCT). A year later, the association between the baseline %VV and the change in per cent plaque volume (plaque volume/vessel volume × 100, %PV) was evaluated with IVUS. To a normal distribution, Δ%PV (follow-up %PV-initial %PV) was undergone square root transformation. The correlations between the %VV at baseline study and square root-Δ%PV were significant both in the CAV area and in the VV area (r = 0.787, P < 0.001 and r = 0.701, P < 0.001, respectively). In multivariable analysis, only the %VV was significantly correlated with square root-Δ%PV in both areas. CONCLUSION The current study demonstrated a significant association between the VV volume and the progression of plaque volume in both the CAV area and the VV area. Thus, VV may be a potential predictor and possible therapeutic target to attenuate CAV.

Abstract
AIM The effects of beta-blockers in pediatric and congenital heart disease (CHD) patients suffering from heart failure are controversial. We performed a meta-analysis to determine whether beta-blockers are effective for heart failure in pediatric and CHD patients. METHODS We searched for clinical trials focusing on clinical on clinical and ventricular functional/dimensional changes after beta-blocker therapy in PubMed (from its inception to August 2013) and bibliographies of identified studies. Studies investigating any of three beta blockers (carvedilol, bisoprolol, and extended release metoprolol succinate) which are known to be effective in adult patients with heart failure were included. RESULTS Of the 158 screened, 17 (N.=476) fulfilled the study criteria and were analyzed. Beta-blockers were associated with significant improvements in left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) (12.47%; 95% CI, 10.36 to 14.61), fraction shortening (5.75%; 95% CI, 4.42 to 7.08), LV end-diastolic dimension (-2.91 mm; 95% CI, -5.46 to -0.36), and LV systolic dimension (-4.03 mm; 95% CI, -6.81 to -1.25). No significant change in the pooled mean difference of the right ventricular (RV) EF (3.50%; P=0.08) was observed. However, the RV EF in the untreated group showed a deteriorating trend (-3%), which was different from the trend in the treatment group. There was a significant reduction in the incidence of clinical worsening (odds ratio, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.27 to 3.66). CONCLUSION Beta-blocker therapy was associated with a significant improvement of echocardiographic parameters in patients with systemic LV failure. However, the use of beta-blockers did not provide significant benefits in terms of improving the EF in patients with RV failure. Nonetheless, beta-blockers may be effective to prevent the clinical deterioration of pediatric and CHD patients with heart failure.

The patients were evaluated at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 and 2 years after surgery. At every follow-up, the Brigham and Women's Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire scores, scar discomfort, and subjective patient satisfaction were evaluated. Two years after surgery, five patients were lost to follow-up. The groups had similar Brigham and Women's Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire Symptom Severity and Functional Status scores and subjective satisfaction scores. The incidence of scar discomfort was not significantly different between the two groups on serial postoperative follow-up. Short wrist transverse open release surgery showed similar early postoperative symptoms and subjective and functional outcomes to limited open release. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a chronic progressive vascular disease. It starts early in life, has a long asymptomatic phase, and a progression accelerated by various cardiovascular risk factors. The endothelium is an active inner layer of the blood vessel. It generates many factors that regulate vascular tone, the adhesion of circulating blood cells, smooth muscle proliferation, and inflammation, which are the key mechanisms of atherosclerosis and can contribute to the development of cardiovascular events. There is growing evidence that functional impairment of the endothelium is one of the first recognizable signs of development of atherosclerosis and is present long before the occurrence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Therefore, understanding the endothelium's central role provides not only insights into pathophysiology, but also a possible clinical opportunity to detect early disease, stratify cardiovascular risk, and assess response to treatments. In the present review, we will discuss the clinical implications of endothelial function as well as the therapeutic issues for endothelial dysfunction in cardiovascular disease as primary and secondary endothelial therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine intraocular pharmacokinetic properties of intravitreally injected vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-Trap in a rabbit model. METHODS VEGF-Trap was intravitreally injected in 18 rabbit eyes. Eyes were enucleated 1 h and 1, 2, 5, 14, and 30 days after injections and immediately frozen at -80 °C. Concentration of VEGF-Trap in vitreous, aqueous humor, and retina/choroid was determined using an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and analyzed to obtain pharmacokinetic properties. RESULTS Maximum concentration of VEGF-Trap was achieved at 1 h in all three tissues. A one-compartment model of distribution was selected as the final model for all tissues studied. Estimated half-life of VEGF-Trap in vitreous, aqueous humor, and retinal/choroid was 87.1, 36.8, and 35.0 h, respectively, and estimated mean residence time was 125.7, 53.1, and 50.5 h, respectively. Area under the curve from time 0 to the end point was 10009.8, 3945.1, and 1189.3, respectively. Total exposure of the aqueous humor and retina/choroid to VEGF-Trap was 39.4% and 11.9% of vitreous exposure, respectively. CONCLUSION The vitreous half-life of VEGF-Trap is 3.63 days. This is shorter than that of bevacizumab (6.99 days) and longer than that of ranibizumab (2.51 days), as shown in studies using the same experimental settings. The concentration of VEGF-Trap peaked at 1 h after injections in all eye tissues studied.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an individual's motivational needs on team performance, centering on the needs for affiliation, power and achievement, following the McClelland's Achievement Motivation Theory. BACKGROUND Most previous studies related to McClelland's Achievement Motivation Theory have focused on achievement motivation as a predictor of team performance. In contrast, affiliation and power motivations were relatively little known in connection with team performance. METHODS This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study using data from 181 junior nursing students in Korea. Data were collected from a questionnaire when the subjects' teamwork task was completed in November 2013. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the influence of motivational needs on team performance. FINDING Each group having high levels of the need for affiliation, or the need for power and/or the need for achievement showed a significantly high level of teamwork skills and team effectiveness. The factors influencing teamwork skills were the need for affiliation and the need for achievement. Additionally, the factors influencing team effectiveness were also the need for affiliation and the need for achievement. CONCLUSION The study reconfirmed the positive influence of the need for achievement, which was the focus of most previous research, in regard to personal and organizational growth. Furthermore, it identified that the need for affiliation, another type of internal motive, positively affected team performance as well. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING AND HEALTH POLICY Nursing schools and nursing organizations should pay attention to their members' affiliation and achievement needs to enhance organizational efficiencies. Through efforts such as developing diverse continuing education programmes for need training, they could enhance their members' needs for affiliation or achievement and consequently increase nursing team performance.

Abstract
A process for recovering V(V) and Ni(II) from an industrial solid waste using sulfuric acid leaching, solvent extraction, precipitation and crystallization has been developed. The leaching parameters investigated were time, temperature and H2SO4 concentration. To quantify the linear and interaction coefficients a 2(3) full factorial experimental design was used. Regression equations for the extraction of V(V) and Ni(II) were determined and the adequacy of these equations was tested by Student's t-Test. More than 98% of both V(V) and Ni(II) were extracted in 90 min using 1.35 M H2SO4 at 40 °C. In addition, solvent extraction of V(V) with LIX 84-I in kerosene from the acidic leach liquor bearing 10.922 g/L V(V) and 18.871 g/L of Ni(II) was investigated. V(V) was extracted selectively using 40% LIX 84-I followed by stripping with NH4OH solution. McCabe-Thiele plots at O:A = 2:3 with 40% LIX 84-I and O:A = 3:1 with 15% (v/v) NH4OH showed two and three theoretical stages are needed for quantitative extraction and stripping of V(V), respectively. Ni(II) was selectively recovered from the V(V) free raffinate by adding ammonium oxalate at 60 °C. The purity of different products such as ammonium vanadate, nickel oxalate and nickel oxide obtained during the processes were analyzed and confirmed from the XRD studies.
