Abstract
Abstract
Background
In patients with early stage breast cancer, regional nodal irradiation (RNI) is added to whole breast irradiation (WBI) in order to control microscopic regional disease and to prevent systemic spread of cancer. According to recent randomized trials (MA.20 and EORTC 22922-10925), prophylactic RNI was associated with improvement in disease-free survival (DFS) in the patients with high-risk node negative or pN1 breast cancer. However, systemic agents now known to improve loco-regional control, such as taxane or endocrine therapy, were prescribed to a small percentage of patients in the studies. The benefit of RNI found in the previous studies might be attributed to incorporation of less effective systemic treatments. The impact of prophylactic RNI in pN1 breast cancer should be evaluated in the patients receiving modern systemic treatment. The current study was conducted to compare the effect of post-lumpectomy WBI vs WBI plus RNI on DFS in pN1 breast cancer patients who received adjuvant taxane-based chemotherapy.
Methods
This study is a multicenter, phase 3, randomized controlled non-inferiority trial (NCT03269981). Eligibility criteria are ≥ 20 years female; pathologically proven invasive carcinoma of the breast; one to three positive axillary lymph nodes (pN1) in pathologic specimen; receiving breast-conserving surgery followed by taxane-based chemotherapy; having adjuvant endocrine therapy or anti-HER2 treatment according to molecular subtype of tumor. Patients are randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive WBI or WBI plus RNI. Patient randomization was stratified by molecular subtype of tumor (i.e. luminal A/luminal B/luminal HER2/HER2-enriched/triple-negative) and methods of axillary management (i.e. sentinel lymph node biopsy/axillary lymph node dissection). The primary outcome is DFS. The secondary outcomes include DFS according to molecular subtype, treatment-related toxicity, and patient's quality of life per EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BR23. Patients will be followed for survival and disease recurrence for seven years. A total of 1,926 patients are planned to be enrolled, with recruitment initiated in April 2017. As of June 2018, a total of 236 patients were enrolled.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
Mammography(MMG) is a measure of screening that is proven to be effective in lowering death rate in breast cancer validated by randomized control trials. Recently, the number of incidence of breast cancer in Korean women is showing ascending tendency, and also as compared to those in North American and European countries, prevalence age tends to be lower. Since they tend to have much dense breast, MMG alone can hardly be considered as a sufficient measure of breast cancer screening.
The purpose of the study is to study the effectiveness of breast ultrasonography(US) in breast cancer screening in Korean women by investigating the ratio of patients who are diagnosed as malignant in breast US over those who are diagnosed as negative or benign(category 1 and 2) and dense breast(category 0) in MMG.
Materials and Methods
We conducted the retrograde study over 2776 female subjects who had undergone screening MMG in single center in South Korea during the period between Jan, 1st 2010 to Dec, 31st 2016. Female patients are categorized according to BI-RAD category. 164 of subjects were previously undergone a breast cancer surgery, which made them eliminated from the list, and 2612 subjects are finally selected.
Results
Some more 33 subjects are excluded from the list and rest 2579 subject had undergone breast US. Among these, 1133 subjects (43.9%, 1133/2579) correspond to dense breast of BI-RADS category 0, while 303 of them are suspected of category 4 or more. The subjects corresponding to category 1 to 3 are 663, 251 and 229 respectively. 307 of 1133 subjects in category 0 are confirmed as having suspicious lesion based on findings of breast US. Among them, 66 subjects are identified as malignant based on biopsy, which accounts for 5.8% (66/1133). 104 subjects in category 1, are confirmed to have lesions based on findings of breast US, where 25 alone were identified as malignant (3.8%, 25/663). Likewise, 10 (4.0%, 10/251) in category 2 and 13 (5.7%, 13/229) in category 3 are identified.

Conclusion
It appears that 43.9% of total 2579 subjects undergone MMG and breast US are confirmed as dense breast in category 0 and 5.8% of them are diagnosed as breast cancer according to breast US and biopsy. Likewise, for those who are considered as either category 1 or 2, which is negative or benign lesion category, 3.8% are diagnosed as breast cancer. As it is appeared in this study, cancer detection can be more effective in parallel measure of MMG and breast US rather than MMG alone, especially for breast cancer screening of Korean female subjects.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the treatment outcomes of radiotherapy (RT) for breast cancer with ipsilateral supraclavicular (SCL) and/or internal mammary (IMN) lymph node involvement.
Methods: A total of 353 patients from 11 institutions were included. One hundred and thirty-six patients had SCL involvement, 148 had IMN involvement, and 69 had both. All patients received neoadjvant systemic therapy followed by breast conserving surgery or mastectomy, and postoperative RT to whole breast/chest wall. As for regional lymph node irradiation, SCL RT was given to 344 patients, and IMN RT to 236 patients. The median RT dose was 50.4 Gy.
Results: The median follow-up duration was 61 months (range, 7-173). In-field progression was present in SCL (n=20) and/or IMN (n=7). The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival rates were 57.8% and 75.1%, respectively. On multivariate analysis, both SCL/IMN involvement, number of axillary lymph node ≥4, triple negative subtype, and mastectomy were significant adverse prognosticators for DFS (p = 0.022, 0.001, 0.001, and 0.004, respectively). Regarding the impact of regional nodal irradiation, SCL RT dose ≥54 Gy was not associated with DFS (5-yr rate, 52.9% vs. 50.9%, p = 0.696) in SCL-involved patients, and the receipt of IMN RT was not associated with DFS (5-yr rate, 56.1% vs. 78.1%, p = 0.099) in IMN-involved patients.
Conclusion: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery and postoperative RT achieved an acceptable in-field regional control rate in patients with SCL and/or IMN involvement. However, a higher RT dose to SCL or IMN RT was not associated with the improved DFS in these patients.

Abstract
Abstract
A key unanswered question in cancer genetics is how different mutations, dispersed across a multitude of genes, elicit similar pathology and patient outcomes. The answer may lie in understanding the molecular networks and protein complexes (i.e. signaling pathways, chromatin architecture, etc) in cancer and mapping mutated genes into the complexes and pathways in which they function. Determining how systematic interaction networks are wired in cancer cells and how different mutations perturb these networks will guide the search for new cancer genes and provide a platform for integrating patient data to make biological and clinical predictions more accurate. The goal of this study is to uncover the comprehensive protein-protein interaction networks and pathways in various breast cancer subtypes to better understand how mutated cancer genes and genomes hijack and re-wire pathways and complexes during the course of breast tumorigenesis.
Here we catalog protein-protein interactions for 40 genes recurrently mutated in breast cancer, using affinity purification and mass spectrometry. To identify co-associated proteins, cDNA clones expressing each protein were tagged with 3xFLAG at either N or C-terminus and introduced into MCF10A (non-tumorigenic “healthy” control), MCF7 (luminal A subtype), and MDA-MB-231 (claudin-low) cells using doxycycline-inducible lentiviral vectors. For proteins with prevalent pathogenic mutations (e.g. PIK3CA-H1047R, BRCA1-C61G), mutant cDNA clones were also analyzed in parallel. Our interaction network reveals subtype and mutation-specific protein-protein interactions, many of which are not previously reported. Given that genes encoding components of a protein complex or a biological pathway often share similar phenotype upon genetic perturbation, we genetically knocked out genes interacting with DNA damage response (DDR) proteins using CRISPR/Cas9, and found multiple novel interacting genes whose knockout results in significant PARPi (olaparib) and/or cisplatin sensitivity. This result not only functionally validates the physical protein interactions, but also demonstrates that our interactome mapping approach can helps identify newdruggable vulnerabilities in cancer cells.
We anticipate the breast cancer interactome study will uncover aberrant pathways and protein complexes uniquely operating in breast cancer cells, and thus pinpoint proteins that may potentially serve as distinct biomarkers or therapeutic targets for tumors having the same or similar subtypes and/or genomic mutations.

Constraining the p-Mode-g-Mode Tidal Instability with GW170817. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2019; 122:061104.

Abstract
We analyze the impact of a proposed tidal instability coupling p modes and g modes within neutron stars on GW170817. This nonresonant instability transfers energy from the orbit of the binary to internal modes of the stars, accelerating the gravitational-wave driven inspiral. We model the impact of this instability on the phasing of the gravitational wave signal using three parameters per star: an overall amplitude, a saturation frequency, and a spectral index. Incorporating these additional parameters, we compute the Bayes factor (lnB_{!pg}^{pg}) comparing our p-g model to a standard one. We find that the observed signal is consistent with waveform models that neglect p-g effects, with lnB_{!pg}^{pg}=0.03_{-0.58}^{+0.70} (maximum a posteriori and 90% credible region). By injecting simulated signals that do not include p-g effects and recovering them with the p-g model, we show that there is a ≃50% probability of obtaining similar lnB_{!pg}^{pg} even when p-g effects are absent. We find that the p-g amplitude for 1.4 M_{⊙} neutron stars is constrained to less than a few tenths of the theoretical maximum, with maxima a posteriori near one-tenth this maximum and p-g saturation frequency ∼70 Hz. This suggests that there are less than a few hundred excited modes, assuming they all saturate by wave breaking. For comparison, theoretical upper bounds suggest ≲10^{3} modes saturate by wave breaking. Thus, the measured constraints only rule out extreme values of the p-g parameters. They also imply that the instability dissipates ≲10^{51} erg over the entire inspiral, i.e., less than a few percent of the energy radiated as gravitational waves.

PD-L1 and immune infiltrates are differentially expressed in distinct subgroups of gastric cancer. Oncoimmunology 2018; 8:e1544442.

Abstract
This study investigates the association of PD-L1 expression and immune cell infiltrates and their impact on clinical outcome, in addition to their overlap with microsatellite instability (MSI), HER2 and ATM molecular subgroups of gastric cancer (GC). PD-L1 membrane expression on tumour cells (TC) and infiltrating immune cells (IC), CD3 + T-lymphocytes, CD8+ cytotoxic T-cells, ATM and HER2 were assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in the ACRG (Asian Cancer Research Group) GC cohort (N = 380). EBV status was determined using in situ hybridization and MSI status was performed using PCR and MLH1 IHC. The PD-L1 segment was associated with increased T-cell infiltrates, while the MSI-high segment was enriched for PD-L1, CD3, and CD8. Multivariate analysis confirmed PD-L1 positivity, high CD3 and high CD8 as independent prognostic factors for both disease-free survival and overall survival (all p < 0.05). Patients with MSI-high tumours had better overall survival by both univariate and multivariate analysis. The ATM-low and HER2-high subgroups differed markedly in their immune profile; the ATM-low subgroups enriched for MSI, PD-L1 positivity and CD8 + T-cells, while the HER2 segment was enriched for MSS, with no enrichment for immune markers. Hence, we demonstrate a molecular profiling approach that can divide GC into four molecular subgroups, namely ATM-low, HER2-high, PD-L1 positive and MSI-high with differing levels of immune infiltrates and prognostic significance which may help to stratify patients for response to targeted therapies.

Abstract
We present the first Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo search for ultracompact binary systems with component masses between 0.2 M_{⊙}-1.0 M_{⊙} using data taken between September 12, 2015 and January 19, 2016. We find no viable gravitational wave candidates. Our null result constrains the coalescence rate of monochromatic (delta function) distributions of nonspinning (0.2 M_{⊙}, 0.2 M_{⊙}) ultracompact binaries to be less than 1.0×10^{6} Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1} and the coalescence rate of a similar distribution of (1.0 M_{⊙}, 1.0 M_{⊙}) ultracompact binaries to be less than 1.9×10^{4} Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1} (at 90% confidence). Neither black holes nor neutron stars are expected to form below ∼1 M_{⊙} through conventional stellar evolution, though it has been proposed that similarly low mass black holes could be formed primordially through density fluctuations in the early Universe and contribute to the dark matter density. The interpretation of our constraints in the primordial black hole dark matter paradigm is highly model dependent; however, under a particular primordial black hole binary formation scenario we constrain monochromatic primordial black hole populations of 0.2 M_{⊙} to be less than 33% of the total dark matter density and monochromatic populations of 1.0 M_{⊙} to be less than 5% of the dark matter density. The latter strengthens the presently placed bounds from microlensing surveys of massive compact halo objects (MACHOs) provided by the MACHO and EROS Collaborations.

GW170817: Measurements of Neutron Star Radii and Equation of State. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2018; 121:161101.

Abstract
On 17 August 2017, the LIGO and Virgo observatories made the first direct detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of a neutron star binary system. The detection of this gravitational-wave signal, GW170817, offers a novel opportunity to directly probe the properties of matter at the extreme conditions found in the interior of these stars. The initial, minimal-assumption analysis of the LIGO and Virgo data placed constraints on the tidal effects of the coalescing bodies, which were then translated to constraints on neutron star radii. Here, we expand upon previous analyses by working under the hypothesis that both bodies were neutron stars that are described by the same equation of state and have spins within the range observed in Galactic binary neutron stars. Our analysis employs two methods: the use of equation-of-state-insensitive relations between various macroscopic properties of the neutron stars and the use of an efficient parametrization of the defining function p(ρ) of the equation of state itself. From the LIGO and Virgo data alone and the first method, we measure the two neutron star radii as R_{1}=10.8_{-1.7}^{+2.0} km for the heavier star and R_{2}=10.7_{-1.5}^{+2.1} km for the lighter star at the 90% credible level. If we additionally require that the equation of state supports neutron stars with masses larger than 1.97 M_{⊙} as required from electromagnetic observations and employ the equation-of-state parametrization, we further constrain R_{1}=11.9_{-1.4}^{+1.4} km and R_{2}=11.9_{-1.4}^{+1.4} km at the 90% credible level. Finally, we obtain constraints on p(ρ) at supranuclear densities, with pressure at twice nuclear saturation density measured at 3.5_{-1.7}^{+2.7}×10^{34} dyn cm^{-2} at the 90% level.

Efficacy and safety of single-dose onabotulinumtoxinA in the treatment of symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee: results of a placebo-controlled, double-blind study. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2018; 26:1291-1299.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate intraarticular onabotulinumtoxinA 400 U and 200 U in reducing symptoms of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in patients with nociceptive pain. DESIGN A multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study was conducted in adults with knee OA and a painDETECT questionnaire score of ≤12 (indicating nociceptive pain). Patients were randomized to receive intraarticular onabotulinumtoxinA 400 U or 200 U or placebo (saline) in the study knee on a 1:1:2 ratio and were followed-up for 24 weeks posttreatment. The primary efficacy measure was the daily average numeric rating scale pain score for the study knee over 7 days at week 8. Secondary efficacy measures included the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index pain and physical function scores, the patient global impression of change score and the 7-day average worst pain score. RESULTS Of the 176 enrolled patients, 158 completed the study. The daily average pain score was reduced by approximately two points for all treatments (week 8); the reduction was sustained throughout follow-up, with no significant between-group difference between onabotulinumtoxinA and placebo (both doses: 0.22 [95% confidence interval (CI): -0.33, 0.76]; 400 U: 0.42 [95% CI: -0.26, 1.10]; 200 U: -0.03 [95% CI: -0.70, 0.64]). Similar results were found for all secondary efficacy measures. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 3.4% of the pooled onabotulinumtoxinA group and placebo group; none were serious. CONCLUSIONS There were no significant differences between onabotulinumtoxinA and placebo in reducing average pain score at week 8 compared with baseline in patients with knee OA. No safety concerns were identified. CLINICALTRIALS. GOV IDENTIFIER NCT02230956.

Abstract
In common radiography, image contrast is often limited due mainly to scattered x-rays and noise, decreasing the quantitative usefulness of x-ray images. Several scatter reduction methods based on software correction schemes have been extensively investigated in an attempt to overcome these difficulties, most of which are based on measurement, mathematical-physical modeling, or a combination of both. However, those methods require special equipment, system geometry, and extra manual work to measure scatter characteristics. In this study, we investigated a new software scheme for scatter correction based on a simple radiographic scattering model where the intensity of the scattered x-rays was directly estimated from a single x-ray image using a weighted l1-norm contextual regularization framework. We implemented the proposed algorithm and performed a systematic simulation and experiment to demonstrate its viability. We also conducted some clinical image studies using patient's image data of breast and L-spine to verify the clinical effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Our results indicate that the degradation of image characteristics by scattered x-rays and noise was effectively recovered by using the proposed software scheme, thus improving radiographic visibility considerably.
