Abstract
INTRODUCTION Metastatic disease affects approximately 15% to 17% of patients with pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs). Unfortunately, treatment options for metastatic PPGLs are limited and rely on small, nonrandomized clinical trials. The impact of germline mutation status on systemic treatment outcomes remains unclear. To address these gaps, we retrospectively evaluated treatment outcomes in patients with PPGL. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between December 2004 and December 2021, 33 patients were diagnosed with metastatic PPGLs and received systemic treatment at the Department of Oncology, Asan Medical Center, Seoul, South Korea. RESULTS The median age of the patients was 49. Germline mutations were revealed in nine patients (39.1%) out of 23 who underwent germline testing, with SDHB mutation being the most frequent in 5 patients. Cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and dacarbazine (CVD) chemotherapy was administered to 18 patients, with an objective response rate (ORR) of 22% and a disease control rate (DCR) of 67%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 7.9 and the median overall survival (OS) was 36.2 months. Sunitinib was given to 6 patients, which had an ORR of 33%, a DCR of 83%, and a median PFS of 14.6 months. Notably, patients with SDHB/SDHD mutation (4 patients and one patient, respectively) who received CVD treatment had a significantly better OS than those without (median OS 94.0 months vs. 13.7 months, P = .01). CONCLUSION Our study reveals that CVD and sunitinib are effective treatments for metastatic PPGLs. The results are consistent with previous studies and patients with SDHB and SDHD mutations may benefit most from CVD treatment.

Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the bowel wall. Tissue-resident memory T (Trm) cells are implicated in CD, yet their characteristics remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the transcriptional profiles and functional characteristics of Trm cells in the small bowel of CD and their interactions with immune cells. Seven patients with CD and four with ulcerative colitis as controls were included. Single-cell RNA sequencing and paired T cell receptor sequencing assessed T cell subsets and transcriptional signatures in lamina propria (LP) and submucosa/muscularis propria-enriched fractions (SM/MP) from small bowel tissue samples. We detected 58,123 T cells grouped into 16 populations, including the CD4+ Trm cells with a Th17 signature and CD8+ Trm clusters. In CD, CD4+ Trm cells with a Th17 signature, termed Th17 Trm, showed significantly increased proportions within both the LP and SM/MP areas. The Th17 Trm cluster demonstrated heightened expression of tissue-residency marker genes (ITGAE, ITGA1, and CXCR6) along with elevated levels of IL17A, IL22, CCR6, and CCL20. The clonal expansion of Th17 Trm cells in CD was accompanied by enhanced transmural dynamic potential, as indicated by significantly higher migration scores. CD-prominent Th17 Trm cells displayed an increased interferon gamma (IFNγ)-related signature possibly linked with STAT1 activation, inducing chemokines (i.e., CXCL10, CXCL8, and CXCL9) in myeloid cells. Our findings underscored the elevated Th17 Trm cells throughout the small bowel in CD, contributing to disease pathogenesis through IFNγ induction and subsequent chemokine production in myeloid cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Creeping fat [CF] is a poorly understood feature of Crohn's disease [CD], characterized by the wrapping of mesenteric adipose tissue [MAT] around the inflamed intestine. The aim of this study was to investigate the transcriptional profile and compositional features of CF. METHODS We collected 59 MAT samples: 23 paired samples from patients with CD (CF [CD-CF] and MAT around the uninflamed intestine [CD-MAT]) and 13 MAT samples from non-CD patients [Con-MAT]. Differentially expressed gene [DEG], functional pathway, cell deconvolution, and gene co-expression network analyses were performed. RESULTS By comparing three different MAT samples, we identified a total of 529 DEGs [|log2FoldChange| > 1.5; false discovery rate < 0.05]. Of these, 323 genes showed an incremental pattern from Con-MAT to CD-MAT, and to CD-CF, while 105 genes displayed a decremental pattern. Genes with an incremental pattern were related to immune cell responses, including B- and T-cell activation, while genes with a decremental pattern were involved in cell trafficking and migration. Cell deconvolution analysis revealed significant changes in cellular composition between the CD-CF and Con-MAT groups, with increased proportions of B-cells/plasma cells [p = 1.16 × 10-4], T-cells [p = 3.66 × 10-3], and mononuclear phagocytes [p = 3.53 × 10-2] in the CD-CF group. In contrast, only the B-cell/plasma cell component showed a significant increase [p = 1.62 × 10-2] in the CD-MAT group compared to Con-MAT. CONCLUSION The distinct transcriptional profiles and altered cellular components of each MAT found in our study provide insight into the mechanisms behind CF and highlight its possible role in the pathogenesis of CD.

Abstract
We search for energetic electron recoil signals induced by boosted dark matter (BDM) from the galactic center using the COSINE-100 array of NaI(Tl) crystal detectors at the Yangyang Underground Laboratory. The signal would be an excess of events with energies above 4 MeV over the well-understood background. Because no excess of events are observed in a 97.7 kg·yr exposure, we set limits on BDM interactions under a variety of hypotheses. Notably, we explored the dark photon parameter space, leading to competitive limits compared to direct dark photon search experiments, particularly for dark photon masses below 4 MeV and considering the invisible decay mode. Furthermore, by comparing our results with a previous BDM search conducted by the Super-Kamionkande experiment, we found that the COSINE-100 detector has advantages in searching for low-mass dark matter. This analysis demonstrates the potential of the COSINE-100 detector to search for MeV electron recoil signals produced by the dark sector particle interactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sex is an integral variable often overlooked in complex disease genetics. Differences between sexes have been reported in natural history, disease complications, and age of onset in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). While association studies have identified >230 IBD loci, there have been a limited number of studies investigating sex differences underlying these genetic associations. METHODS We report the first investigation of sex-dimorphic associations via meta-analysis of a sex-stratified association study (34 579 IBD cases, 39 125 controls). In addition, we performed chromosome (chr) X-specific analyses, considering models of X inactivation (XCI) and XCI escape. Demographic and clinical characteristics were also compared between sexes. RESULTS We identified significant differences between sexes for disease location and perianal complication in Crohn's disease and disease extent in ulcerative colitis. We observed genome-wide-significant sex-dimorphic associations (P < 5 × 10-8) at loci not previously reported in large-scale IBD genetic studies, including at chr9q22, CARMIL1, and UBASH3A. We identified variants in known IBD loci, including in chr2p15 and within the major histocompatibility complex on chr6, exhibiting sex-specific patterns of association (P < 5 × 10-7 in one sex only). We identified 3 chrX associations with IBD, including a novel Crohn's disease susceptibility locus at Xp22. CONCLUSIONS These analyses identified novel IBD loci, in addition to characterizing sex-specific patterns of associations underlying sex-dimorphic associations. By elucidating the role of sex in IBD genetics, our study will help enhance our understanding of the differences between the sexes in IBD biology and underscores a need to move beyond conventional sex-combined analyses to appreciate the genetic architecture of IBD more comprehensively.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the effect of the analgesia nociception index on postoperative pain. We randomly allocated 170 women scheduled for gynaecological laparotomy and analysed results from 159: in 80 women, remifentanil was infused to maintain analgesia nociception indices 50-70; and in 79 women, remifentanil was infused to maintain systolic blood pressure < 120% of baseline values. The primary outcome was the proportion of women with pain scores ≥ 5 (scale 0-10) within 40 min of admission to recovery. The proportion of women with pain scores ≥ 5 was 62/80 (78%) vs. 64/79 (81%), p = 0.73. Mean (SD) doses of fentanyl in recovery were 53.6 (26.9) μg vs. 54.8 (20.8) μg, p = 0.74. Intra-operative remifentanil doses were 0.124 (0.050) μg.kg-1 .min-1 vs. 0.129 (0.044) μg.kg-1 .min-1 , p = 0.55.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES North Korean Refugees (NKRs) undergo defection, and this has been shown to impact their current health status in South Korea. However, little is understood about how the defection process is related to metabolic syndrome (MetS). This study regarded the defection process to be a quasi-measurement of traumatic experience and investigated whether defection was a risk factor for MetS among NKRs living in South Korea. STUDY DESIGN This cross-sectional study obtained data from the Korea University Anam Hospital in Seoul. NKRs (N = 847) voluntarily completed questionnaires and underwent at least one medical examination between October 2008 and July 2021. METHODS Multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate whether the number of countries transited by NKRs was associated with MetS by controlling for covariates. RESULTS The prevalence of MetS among male and female NKRs in South Korea was 12.3% and 13.3%, respectively. The highest prevalence of MetS (33.4%) was among NKRs who had transited two countries. The number of months in transit countries (mean: 49.9 ± 51.7) and period of residence in South Korea (mean: 40.9 ± 40.9 months) were also considered. NKRs who transited three countries had a higher probability of MetS (odds ratio [OR] 2.660, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.161-6.097) than those who travelled directly to South Korea. NKRs who transited three countries and had only resided in South Korea for a short period had a higher probability of MetS (OR 3.424, 95% CI 1.149-10.208) than those who have lived in South Korea for a longer period. CONCLUSIONS Considering the social vulnerability of NKRs and consequential health problems, there is an urgent need for appropriate support from the government and society.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract with the following two subtypes: Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). To date, most IBD genetic associations were derived from individuals of European (EUR) ancestries. Here we report the largest IBD study of individuals of East Asian (EAS) ancestries, including 14,393 cases and 15,456 controls. We found 80 IBD loci in EAS alone and 320 when meta-analyzed with ~370,000 EUR individuals (~30,000 cases), among which 81 are new. EAS-enriched coding variants implicate many new IBD genes, including ADAP1 and GIT2. Although IBD genetic effects are generally consistent across ancestries, genetics underlying CD appears more ancestry dependent than UC, driven by allele frequency (NOD2) and effect (TNFSF15). We extended the IBD polygenic risk score (PRS) by incorporating both ancestries, greatly improving its accuracy and highlighting the importance of diversity for the equitable deployment of PRS.

Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), two major subtypes of inflammatory bowel disease, show substantial differences in their clinical course and treatment response. To identify the genetic factors underlying the distinct characteristics of these two diseases, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) between CD (n = 2359) and UC (n = 2175) in a Korean population, followed by replication in an independent sample of 772 CD and 619 UC cases. Two novel loci were identified with divergent effects on CD and UC: rs9842650 in CD200 and rs885026 in NCOR2. In addition, the seven established susceptibility loci [major histocompatibility complex (MHC), TNFSF15, OTUD3, USP12, IL23R, FCHSD2 and RIPK2] reached genome-wide significance. Of the nine loci, six (MHC, TNFSF15, OTUD3, USP12, IL23R and CD200) were replicated in the case-case GWAS of European populations. The proportion of variance explained in CD-UC status by polygenic risk score analysis was up to 22.6%. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve value was 0.74, suggesting acceptable discrimination between CD and UC. This CD-UC GWAS provides new insights into genetic differences between the two diseases with similar symptoms and might be useful in improving their diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the relationship between dental calcification and skeletal maturity and to identify the tooth with the highest correlation with skeletal maturity index in Korean children. MATERIALS For 447 children (205 boys and 242 girls) aged between 5 and 13 years, hand-wrist and lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken to assess skeletal maturity by Fishman's skeletal maturity indicators (SMI) and Baccetti's cervical vertebrae maturation (CVM) stages. Dental panoramic radiographs were taken to assess dental maturity of the permanent mandibular canine, first and second premolar, and second molar using the method devised by Dermirjian. CONCLUSION Dental calcification stages determined by panoramic radiographs can be clinically used as useful indices to predict skeletal maturity in Korean children.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
Long-term outcomes of patients with ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma (rHCC) remain scant. This study aimed to assess disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) after surgical resection of rHCC compared to non-ruptured HCC (nrHCC).
Methods
Patients with rHCC and nrHCC were collected from 8 centers in Europe, Asia, and North America. Resected rHCC patients were matched 1:1 to patients undergoing surgery for nrHCC using propensity score and nearest-neighbor method (matching criteria: age, tumor size, cirrhosis, Child-Pugh score, Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage, resection status, grade, and microvascular invasion). Survival rates were calculated using Kaplan-Meier method.
Results
A total of 2033 patients were included: 226 rHCC patients (172 operated: 68 with upfront surgery and 104 after embolization) and 1807 nrHCC patients. Median DFS and OS of rHCC patients (all treatments confounded) were 10 months (95% CI 7–13) and 22 months (95% CI 13–31). Prognostic factors for worse OS among rHCC patients were absence of preoperative arterial embolization (HR 2.3, 95% CI 1.2–4.6, p=0.016), cirrhosis Child B/C (HR 2.4, 95% CI 1.1–5.4, p=0.040), and R1/R2 margins (HR 2, 95% CI 1–5, p=0.049). Survivals were similar between Western and Eastern rHCC patients.
After propensity score matching, 106 rHCC patients and 106 nrHCC patients displayed similar characteristics. Patients with rHCC had shorter median DFS (12 months, 95% CI 7–17 vs. 22 months, 95% CI 12–32, p=0.011), but similar median OS compared to nrHCC patients (43 months, 95% CI 21–65 vs. 63 months, 95% CI 21–105, p=0.060).
Conclusion
In this large dataset including Eastern and Western patients, rHCC was associated with shorter DFS compared to nrHCC, while OS was similar.

Abstract
Background/Aims Chronic enteropathy associated with SLCO2A1 gene (CEAS), an inherited disease characterized by nonspecific intestinal ulcers, has emerged in the Japanese population via loss-of-function mutations in the SLCO2A1 gene. We aimed to investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics of Korean patients diagnosed with CEAS. Methods From July 2018 to July 2021, we performed Sanger sequencing of the SLCO2A1 gene in 46 patients with chronic intestinal ulcers. CEAS was confirmed based on known SLCO2A1 mutations. We summarized the clinical characteristics of patients with confirmed CEAS. Results Fourteen out of 46 patients (30.4%) had genetically confirmed CEAS, and two SLCO2A1 variants were detected (splicing site variant c.940+1G>A and nonsense mutation [p.R603X] in SLCO2A1). Twelve patients (85.7%) were females and the median age at diagnosis of CEAS was 44.5 years. All patients presented with abdominal pain, and 13 patients (92.9%) presented with anemia (median hemoglobin, 9.6 g/dL). Ten patients (71.4%) had hypoalbuminemia (median, 2.7 g/dL). The most commonly involved site was the ileum (13/14, 92.9%). Manifestations of primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHO), such as digital clubbing, pachydermia, and periostosis were observed in five patients (28.6%) and two male patients and one female patient satisfied all major PHO diagnostic criteria. Conclusions The clinical and genetic characteristics of Korean patients with confirmed CEAS were similar to those reported in the literature. CEAS should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients with unexplained chronic nonspecific ulcers of the small intestine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS In this nationwide population-based study, we investigated the risk of vertebral and hip fractures in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS Using data from the Korean National Health Insurance claims database gathered between 2007 and 2016, we calculated the incidence rate ratios (IRRs) of vertebral and hip fractures in patients with newly diagnosed IBD (n = 18,228; 64.1% male, 65.9% ulcerative colitis) compared with an age- and sex-matched control population (matching ratio, 1:10; n = 186,871). RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 4.5 years, the incidence rate and IRR of vertebral and hip fractures in patients with IBD were 2.88 per 1000 person-years and 1.24 (95% CI, 1.08-1.42), respectively. The cumulative risk of vertebral and hip fractures in IBD patients was 0.6%, 1.4%, and 1.9% at 2, 5, and 7 years after diagnosis, respectively, and this risk of fracture in IBD patients was higher than that in matched controls (P = .002). The use of corticosteroids further increased the risk of fractures in IBD patients (IRR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.13-1.65) compared with matched controls. The risk of fractures was significantly higher in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) (IRR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.19-2.04) than in matched controls, and this risk remained higher in patients with CD without corticosteroid exposure (IRR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.12-2.34). The risk of fracture increased with age and was particularly high in females and in those with comorbidities. CONCLUSIONS The risk of fractures was significantly high in newly diagnosed IBD patients, especially in those with CD regardless of corticosteroid exposure.

Abstract
The mass of the W boson, a mediator of the weak force between elementary particles, is tightly constrained by the symmetries of the standard model of particle physics. The Higgs boson was the last missing component of the model. After observation of the Higgs boson, a measurement of the W boson mass provides a stringent test of the model. We measure the W boson mass, MW, using data corresponding to 8.8 inverse femtobarns of integrated luminosity collected in proton-antiproton collisions at a 1.96 tera-electron volt center-of-mass energy with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. A sample of approximately 4 million W boson candidates is used to obtain [Formula: see text], the precision of which exceeds that of all previous measurements combined (stat, statistical uncertainty; syst, systematic uncertainty; MeV, mega-electron volts; c, speed of light in a vacuum). This measurement is in significant tension with the standard model expectation.

Abstract
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate self-reported vaccination rates, immunity, knowledge of and attitudes toward vaccination among Korean patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) as well as to identify factors associated with proper vaccination.Between November 2013 and February 2015, consecutive patients with IBD were invited to complete a standardized questionnaire on vaccination. Moreover, immune status for common vaccine-preventable diseases was evaluated via serologic tests.A total of 310 patients with IBD were invited to the questionnaire survey and 287 patients (92.6%) who completed the questionnaires were finally enrolled (men, 188 [65.5%], median age at survey, 29.9 years [interquartile range, 22.3-39.2], ulcerative colitis: Crohn disease = 165:122]. Self-reported vaccine uptake rates were as follows: hepatitis A virus (HAV; 13.2%), hepatitis B virus (HBV; 35.2%), seasonal influenza (43.2%), pneumococcus (4.9%). Most of the patients (87.1%) did not know that proper vaccination has been recommended for patients with IBD. Up to 64.8% and 32.8% of patients were negative for IgG anti-HAV antibody and IgG HBV surface antibody, respectively. In a multivariable analysis, newspaper subscription (aOR [adjusted odds ratio] 2.185, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.136-4.203, P = .019), ever recommendation of vaccination by a physician (aOR 2.456, 95% CI 1.240-4.862, P = .010), and use of anti-tumor necrosis factor agents (aOR 4.966, 95% CI 1.098-22.464, P = .037) showed a significant association with uptake of adult vaccines recommended for patients with IBD.Vaccine uptake rates, positivity of antibody to HAV and HBV, and knowledge of patients with IBD regarding vaccination were not sufficient. Proper educational information and recommendation from physicians could enhance awareness among patients with IBD about the need for vaccination and thereby improve vaccination rates.Trial registration number: NCT01984879.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Genome-wide association studies [GWAS] of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] in multiple populations have identified over 240 susceptibility loci. We previously performed a largest-to-date Asian-specific IBD GWAS to identify two new IBD risk loci and confirm associations with 28 established loci. To identify additional susceptibility loci in Asians, we expanded our previous study design by doubling the case size with an additional dataset of 1726 cases and 378 controls. METHODS An inverse-variance fixed-effects meta-analysis was performed between the previous and the new GWAS dataset, comprising a total of 3195 cases and 4419 controls, followed by replication in an additional 1088 cases and 845 controls. RESULTS The meta-analysis of Korean GWAS identified one novel locus for ulcerative colitis at rs76227733 on 10q24 [pcombined = 6.56 × 10-9] and two novel loci for Crohn's disease [CD] at rs2240751 on 19p13 [pcombined = 3.03 × 10-8] and rs6936629 on 6q22 [pcombined = 3.63 × 10-8]. Pathway-based analysis of GWAS data using MAGMA showed that the MHC and antigenic stimulus-related pathways were more significant in Korean CD, whereas cytokine and transcription factor-related pathways were more significant in European CD. Phenotype variance explained by the polygenic risk scores derived from Korean data explained up to 14% of the variance of CD whereas those derived from European data explained 10%, emphasizing the need for large-scale genetic studies in this population. CONCLUSIONS The identification of novel loci not previously associated with IBD suggests the importance of studying IBD genetics in diverse populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) increases the risk of tuberculosis (TB) infection. In the present study, we analyzed the clinical characteristics and risks of TB in Korean patients with IBD who received anti-TNF treatment. METHODS The study included patients with IBD who were treated using anti-TNF agents between January 2001 and June 2018 at the Asan Medical Center. Overall, 1434 patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease were enrolled. We calculated the incidence of active TB infection after anti-TNF treatment and compared the clinical characteristics of the TB group with those of the non-TB group. RESULTS Twenty-one patients (1.46%) developed active TB infection, and the incidence rate of active TB was 366.73 per 100,000 person-years. In total, 198 patients (14.9%) were positive for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), of whom only eight (4%) did not complete LTBI treatment. The age at which the anti-TNF therapy was started was significantly higher in the TB group than in the non-TB group (HR 1.041, 95% CI 1.014-1.069, p = 0.002), and as age increased, so did the incidence rate of active TB infection (linearity p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence rate of LTBI between the TB and non-TB groups (HR 0.896, 95% CI 0.262-3.066, p = 0.862). CONCLUSIONS In patients with IBD, the incidence rate of TB increased with age at anti-TNF therapy initiation. Active treatment of LTBI may lower the incidence of TB in patients with IBD who are to undergo anti-TNF therapy.

Abstract
We describe an analysis comparing the pp[over ¯] elastic cross section as measured by the D0 Collaboration at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV to that in pp collisions as measured by the TOTEM Collaboration at 2.76, 7, 8, and 13 TeV using a model-independent approach. The TOTEM cross sections, extrapolated to a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV, are compared with the D0 measurement in the region of the diffractive minimum and the second maximum of the pp cross section. The two data sets disagree at the 3.4σ level and thus provide evidence for the t-channel exchange of a colorless, C-odd gluonic compound, also known as the odderon. We combine these results with a TOTEM analysis of the same C-odd exchange based on the total cross section and the ratio of the real to imaginary parts of the forward elastic strong interaction scattering amplitude in pp scattering for which the significance is between 3.4σ and 4.6σ. The combined significance is larger than 5σ and is interpreted as the first observation of the exchange of a colorless, C-odd gluonic compound.

Abstract
Background/Aims Although pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) has a different phenotype and clinical course than adult UC, its clinical features and outcomes are poorly defined, especially in Asian populations. This study investigated the clinical features and long-term outcomes of pediatric UC in a Korean population. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 208 patients aged <18 years diagnosed with UC between 1987 and 2013. The patient characteristics at diagnosis according to the Paris classification and the clinical course were analyzed. Results The male-to-female ratio was 1.3:1, and the median patient age was 15.5 years. At diagnosis, 28.8% of patients had proctitis (E1), 27.8%, left-sided colitis (E2); 5.2%, extensive colitis (E3); and 38.2%, pancolitis (E4). The cumulative probabilities of extension after 5, 10, 15, and 20 years were 32.7%, 40.4%, 52.5%, and 65.8%, respectively. Eighteen patients underwent colectomy, and three patients had colorectal cancer. The cumulative probabilities of colectomy after 5, 10, 15, and 20 years were 7.1%, 8.9%, 12.6%, and 15.6%, and those of colorectal cancer after 10, 15, and 20 years were 0%, 2.1%, and 12.0%, respectively. The disease extent, Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index severity, and systemic corticosteroid therapy were significant risk factors for colectomy. The development of primary sclerosing cholangitis was significantly associated with colorectal cancer. Conclusions This study provides detailed information on the disease phenotype and long-term clinical outcomes in a large cohort of Korean children with UC. They have extensive disease at diagnosis, a high rate of disease extension, and a low rate of cumulative colectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The clinical impact of perianal Crohn's disease (CD) (pCD), a well-known poor prognostic factor of CD, has not been fully evaluated in Asian patients. We investigated the outcomes of CD in Korean patients according to the presence of pCD at CD diagnosis. METHODS Using 2010-2014 data from the national health insurance claims database, we evaluated the disease course of CD according to the presence of pCD at CD diagnosis. The results were verified in a hospital-based cohort of 2923 patients. RESULTS The cumulative risk of intestinal resection was lower in patients with pCD at diagnosis than in those without, in the population-based cohort (9.1% vs 14.7% at 5 years after diagnosis, P < 0.001), but it was similar between the two groups in the hospital-based cohort (36.8% vs 36.8% at 10 years after diagnosis, P = 0.950). Moreover, the cumulative risk of behavioral progression was not significantly different between the two groups in the hospital-based cohort (43.4% vs 41.6% at 10 years after diagnosis, P = 0.366). On multivariable analysis, pCD at CD diagnosis was not a predictor of intestinal resection, behavioral progression, CD-related hospital admission, or diverting surgery; however, it was an independent predictor of proctectomy (hazard ratio [HR] 3.210, P < 0.001) and anorectal cancer (HR 3.104, P = 0.047). CONCLUSIONS Although the presence of pCD increased the risk of proctectomy and anorectal cancer in Asian patients, the clinical impact of pCD on the overall outcomes of patients with CD may be less significant in Asian patients compared with Western patients.

Abstract
Many neutron star properties, such as the proton fraction, reflect the symmetry energy contributions to the equation of state that dominate when neutron and proton densities differ strongly. To constrain these contributions at suprasaturation densities, we measure the spectra of charged pions produced by colliding rare isotope tin (Sn) beams with isotopically enriched Sn targets. Using ratios of the charged pion spectra measured at high transverse momenta, we deduce the slope of the symmetry energy to be 42<L<117 MeV. This value is slightly lower but consistent with the L values deduced from a recent measurement of the neutron skin thickness of ^{208}Pb.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease and Parkinson's disease are chronic progressive disorders that mainly affect different organs: the gut and brain, respectively. Accumulating evidence has suggested a bidirectional link between gastrointestinal inflammation and neurodegeneration, in accordance with the concept of the 'gut-brain axis'. Moreover, recent population-based studies have shown that inflammatory bowel disease might increase the risk of Parkinson's disease. Although the precise mechanisms underlying gut-brain interactions remain elusive, some of the latest findings have begun to explain the link. Several genetic loci are shared between both disorders with a similar direction of effect on the risk of both diseases. The most interesting example is LRRK2 (leucine-rich repeat kinase 2), initially identified as a causal gene in Parkinson's disease, and recently also implicated in Crohn's disease. In this review, we highlight recent findings on the link between these seemingly unrelated diseases with shared genetic susceptibility. We discuss supporting and conflicting data obtained from epidemiological and genetic studies along with remaining questions and concerns. In addition, we discuss possible biological links including the gut-brain axis, microbiota, autoimmunity, mitochondrial function and autophagy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown vitamin D status to be associated with disease activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but its influence on the clinical course of IBD has not been established. AIMS We aimed to analyze whether the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D] status is associated with clinical characteristics and affects the risk of surgery in patients with IBD. METHODS From the IBD registry of the Asan Medical Center, we identified all patients who had at least one 25(OH)D measurement; we then analyzed the association between clinical factors and 25(OH)D status. 25(OH)D was considered borderline deficient, deficient, and severely deficient at levels of < 30, < 20, and < 10 ng/mL, respectively. RESULTS We included 711 Crohn's disease (CD) and 764 ulcerative colitis (UC) patients who had not undergone surgery before 25(OH)D was measured. Both in CD and in UC patients, reduced 25(OH)D was associated with higher disease activity scores and CRP levels (p < 0.001). Severe 25(OH)D deficiency was associated with ileocolonic disease and complicated behavior in CD (p < 0.05) and was relevant to the disease extent in UC (p < 0.001). Additionally, severe 25(OH)D deficiency was associated with CMV colitis in patients with UC (p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, severe deficiency of 25(OH)D was an independent risk factor for surgery in both CD (HR 1.93, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.38-2.70) and UC (HR 2.77, 95% CI 1.14-6.74). CONCLUSION Severe 25(OH)D deficiency may be a marker of a more aggressive clinical course of IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) in clinical remission frequently complain of bowel symptoms such as increased stool frequency (SF) and rectal bleeding (RB). However, studies on these patient-reported outcomes in patients with inactive UC are limited, especially in Korea. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence and risk factors of bowel symptoms in Korean patients with inactive UC. METHODS We investigated the prevalence of bowel symptoms in patients with endoscopically quiescent UC between June 1989 and December 2016 using a well-characterized referral center-based cohort. The Mayo clinic score (MCS) was used to evaluate bowel symptoms at the most recent visit near the date of endoscopy. Clinical characteristics of the patients were compared based on the presence or absence of bowel symptoms. RESULTS Overall, 741 patients with endoscopically quiescent UC were identified, of whom 222 (30%) and 48 (6.5%) had an SF and RB subscore of ≥ 1, respectively. Patients with bowel symptoms (SF + RB ≥ 1; n = 244 [32.9%]) had higher rates of left-sided colitis (E2) or extensive colitis (E3) than patients without bowel symptoms (SF + RB = 0; n = 497 [67.1%]; P = 0.002). Multivariate analysis revealed that female sex (odds ratio [OR]: 1.568; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.023-2.402; P = 0.039) and E2 or E3 (OR 1.411; 95% CI 1.020-1.951; P = 0.038) were the significant risk factors for increased SF. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that one-third of patients with endoscopically quiescent UC reported increased SF. Female sex and disease extent may be associated with bowel symptoms.

Abstract
The methods for expansion of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-specific T lymphocytes are limited due to the complex culture process, long culture duration, and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) restriction. Here, we report that in vitro stimulation with pp65 kDa phosphoprotein (pp65)-derived overlapping synthetic peptides rapidly generates large numbers of HCMV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) regardless of HLA type. Treatment of PBMCs from healthy volunteers expressing HLA-A*02:01 or HLA-A*24:02 with 138 pp65 overlapping peptides (OLP) resulted in an expansion of HCMV pp65 NLVPMVATV (NLV) pentamer-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes that expressed interferon (IFN)-γ, but the pp65 NLV peptide did not generate HCMV-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes in PBMCs obtained from an HLA-A*24:02 donor due to HLA restriction. The OLP-induced T lymphocytes specific for HCMV derived from PBMCs of HLA-A*02:01- and HLA-A*24:02-expressing donors showed effective cytolytic responses against target cells loaded with OLP or the NLV epitope, but pp65 NLV peptide-induced T lymphocytes did not. Phenotypic analyses demonstrated that OLP increased the frequency of CD3+ CD8+ cells, but not CD3+ CD4+, CD14+, or CD56+ cells, in donor PBMCs. Thus, this study provides evidence that in vitro stimulation with OLP efficiently generates sufficient numbers of HCMV pp65-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes for adoptive cell therapy. Keywords: human cytomegalovirus; cytotoxic T lymphocyte; overlapping peptides; pp65; cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory disease confined to the colon. Although the etiopathogenesis remains unknown, small bowel dysfunctions like histological and permeability alterations have been described in ulcerative colitis. We evaluated the molecular gene signature in the non-inflamed terminal ileum of 36 ulcerative colitis patients (7 active, with Mayo endoscopic subscore ≥2, and 29 inactive) as compared to 15 non-inflammatory bowel disease controls. Differential gene expression analysis with DESeq2 showed distinct expression patterns depending on disease activity and maximal disease extent. We found 84 dysregulated genes in patients with active extensive colitis and 20 in inactive extensive colitis, compared to controls. There was an overlap of 5 genes: REG1B, REG1A, MUC4, GRAMD2, and CASP10. In patients with left-sided colitis, ileal gene expression levels were similar to controls. Based on gene co-expression analysis, ileal changes in active ulcerative colitis patients were related to immune functions. The ileal changes in the inactive ulcerative colitis subjects converged into the maintenance of the intestinal barrier through increased mitochondrial function and dampened immune functions. In conclusion, we identified molecular changes in the non-inflamed ileum of ulcerative colitis that are dependent on colonic inflammation.

Abstract
Background Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) datasets have extensively been used to help interpret genome-wide association study signals. Most eQTL analyses have been conducted with populations of European ancestry. Objective To determine the most functionally relevant genes at the Crohn’s disease (CD) loci identified in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) involving Asian populations and to find novel disease-associated genes, we conducted an eQTL analysis. Methods eQTL analysis was performed using whole-blood RNA-sequencing of 101 Korean patients with CD. FastQTL was used for a pair-wise genome analysis of ∼ 6.5 M SNPs and ∼ 22 K transcripts. Results We identified 135,164 cis-eQTL and 3,816 eGenes with a false discovery rate less than 0.05. A significant proportion of the genes identified in our study overlapped with those identified in previous studies. The significantly enriched pathways of these 3,816 eGenes included neutrophil degranulation and small molecule biosynthetic process. Integrated analysis of CD GWAS with Korean eQTL revealed two putative target genes, TNFSF15 and GPR35, at two previously reported loci, whereas TNFSF15 only with the whole blood data from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project, highlighting the utility of building a population-specific data set, even of modest size. The risk alleles of these genes were found to be associated with lower expression levels of TNFSF15 and GPR35, respectively. Our eQTL browser can be accessed at “http://asan.crohneqtl.com/”. Conclusion This resource would be useful for studies that need to employ genome-wide association analyses involving Asian populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The objective of this study was to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and both initial stroke severity at presentation and functional outcomes after acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). METHODS Patients were categorized on the basis of their BMI into underweight (BMI <18.5, n = 111), normal (18.5 ≤ BMI <25, n = 1036) and overweight to obese (BMI ≥25, n = 472) groups. Initial stroke severity was assessed using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and functional outcomes were assessed using the modified Rankin Scale score at discharge. The differences in stroke severity and functional outcomes were compared between groups using robust log-linear regression with a Poisson distribution and binary logistic regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 1619 AIS patients with NVAF from six hospitals were included. Compared with the NIHSS scores [median 5, interquartile range (IQR) 2-14] of normal-weight patients, the NIHSS scores (median 9, IQR 4-19) of underweight patients were more likely to be higher, whereas those of overweight to obese patients were lower (median 4, IQR 1-12) (P < 0.001). In terms of functional outcomes after stroke, underweight patients had a higher risk of poor functional outcomes (odds ratio 1.78, 95% confidence interval 1.09-2.56, P = 0.01) but overweight to obese patients had no significant difference in functional outcomes compared with normal-weight patients. CONCLUSION An inverse association was found between BMI and stroke severity in AIS patients with NVAF. This suggests the presence of an obesity paradox for short-term outcomes in patients with NVAF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE After endovascular coiling of intracranial aneurysms, round dark parenchymal lesions believed to be particulate metal are sometimes encountered in MR imaging studies of the brain. We used SWI to assess the frequency of such occurrences, in addition to exploring likely causes and clinical implications. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed 700 MR imaging studies performed between September 2018 and March 2019 at our institution as follow-up monitoring of coiled intracranial aneurysms. Any sizeable (>5 mm) rounded dark-signal lesions encountered were presumed to be metallic. The magnitudes and locations of such lesions were recorded. In patients with these lesions, pertinent procedural documentation was screened for devices used, including coils, microcatheters, microguidewires, and stents. Medical records were also examined to determine whether any related symptoms ensued. RESULTS Twenty patients (2.8%) exhibited a total of 25 lesions on SWI. Diameters ranged from 5 to 11 mm (median, 8 mm). All except 2 lesions were located in brain regions downstream from aneurysms, but all lesions occupied vascular territories of vessels used to place guiding catheters. Other than the Synchro 14, which was routinely deployed, no device was regularly used in patients with SWI-detectable lesions; and none of the affected patients developed focal neurologic symptoms as a consequence. CONCLUSIONS Although the origins remain unclear, distal embolization of particulate metal distal to coiled cerebral aneurysms is occasionally observed on follow-up MR imaging studies. Such lesions, however, seem to have no apparent clinical impact.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) at 19q13 is a well-established susceptibility locus for Crohn's disease (CD) in Caucasians. FUT2 encodes α-1,2-fucosyltransferase that regulates the secretion of the α-1-2-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase and α-1-3-galactosyltransferase (ABO) antigens in both the gastrointestinal mucosa and secretory glands. Given that CD is thought to arise from dysregulated mucosal immune responses to the gut flora and both the ABO blood group and the FUT2 secretor status affect the composition of the gut microbiota, the goal of this study was to evaluate the associations of variants of FUT2 and ABO with CD in Koreans. METHODS Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms from the FUT2 and ABO genes were genotyped in 1735 patients with CD and 8074 healthy controls. RESULTS The FUT2 non-secretor allele showed genome-wide significant association with CD in Koreans (rs1047781, odds ratio [OR] = 1.30, Pcombined = 3.52 × 10-12 ). The ABO locus showed genome-wide significant association with CD in Asians (Pmeta = 2.35 × 10-8 ). A moderate association was observed with the A and B groups (OR = 1.40, P = 2.26 × 10-6 ; and OR = 1.32, P = 1.92 × 10-4 , respectively) compared with the O group. Following stratification on the basis of FUT2 genotype, carriers of the secretor O blood group were significantly protective against CD than were those of the secretor non-O blood group (OR = 0.63, 95% confidence interval = 0.54-0.73, P = 2.86 × 10-9 ). CONCLUSIONS These are the first results indicating that the O blood group and FUT2 secretor status are protective factors against CD in Asians.

Abstract
AIM Reduced lung function is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but there are limited data in East Asian populations on the relationship between them. For this reason, this study investigated the longitudinal relationship of lung function with incident T2D in Korean adults. METHODS The study included 7583 non-diabetic adults aged 40-69 years from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study. Participants were divided into four groups according to gender-specific quartiles (Q1-Q4) of %PFVC and %PFEV1. Also, HRs with 95% CIs for incident T2D were prospectively analyzed as per American Diabetes Association criteria using multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression models. RESULTS During a 12-year follow-up, 1403 (18.5%) participants presented with newly developed T2D. HRs (95% CIs) of incident T2D in Q1 vs. Q4 (reference) of %PFVC were 1.67 (1.35-2.07) for men and 1.77 (1.39-2.24) for women and, of %PFEV1, 1.58 (1.28-1.95) for men and 1.61 (1.27-2.03) for women, after adjusting for age, waist circumference, smoking status, alcohol intake, regular exercise, education levels, monthly household income, family history of diabetes, HOMA-IR, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels. CONCLUSION Reduced lung function precedes and significantly predicts the future development of T2D independently of obesity, smoking and inflammation in community-dwelling middle-aged and elderly people.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The precise role of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in ulcerative colitis (UC) remains disputed. We evaluated the association of CMV-specific host immune responses and systemic or local viral replication with responses to systemic steroids in patients with moderate to severe UC. METHODS Patients who were hospitalized for moderate to severe UC between April 2015 and June 2016 were enrolled. At baseline, all enrolled patients underwent CMV-specific enzyme-linked immunospot assays, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis of blood and colonic tissue for CMV viral load, histopathological testing for CMV in colonic tissue by hematoxylin and eosin staining, and immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis. Clinical responses to steroid therapy based on the Oxford index were assessed on day 3. RESULTS Of the 80 patients evaluated, 28 (35.0%) had poor responses to steroid therapy on day 3 of intensive treatment. The presence of inclusion bodies (32.1%) and high-grade (≥3) positivity on IHC (50.0%), as well as colonic (mean 1440.4 copies/mg) and blood (mean, 3692.6 copies/mL) CMV viral load, were higher in steroid-refractory UC patients than the control group (13.5%, 1.9%, mean 429.2 copies/mg, and mean 231.2 copies/mL, respectively; P = .046, .009, .017, and .002, respectively). However, CMV-specific T-cell responses were not associated with steroid-refractory UC. Multivariate analysis revealed that a higher Mayo score (odds ratio [OR], 2.00; P = .002) and higher blood CMV viral load via qPCR analysis (OR, 3.58; P = .044) were independent risk factors for steroid-refractory UC. CONCLUSIONS In patients with moderate to severe UC, higher Mayo score and blood CMV expression determined by qPCR are independently associated with steroid refractoriness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents, such as infliximab (IFX), have been increasingly used to induce and maintain disease remission in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Despite a considerable non-response rate, little is known about the genetic predictors of response to anti-TNF therapy in CD. Our aim in this study was to investigate the genetic factors associated with response to anti-TNF therapy in patients with CD. METHODS We performed a two-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify loci influencing the response to IFX among Korean patients with CD, comprising 42 good responders with mucosal healing and 70 non-responders. The achievement of mucosal healing was assessed by endoscopy and imaging. The functional significance of TRAP1 (TNF receptor associated protein 1) was examined using dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis model in TRAP1 transgenic mice. RESULTS The GWAS identified rs2158962, an intronic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of TRAP1, significantly associated with mucosal healing (odds ratio = 4.94; Pcombined = 1.35 × 10-7 ). In the dextran sodium sulfate-induced acute colitis, TRAP1 transgenic mice showed a better response to IFX than the wild-type mice. CONCLUSIONS The TRAP1 gene is associated with mucosal healing in CD patients following IFX therapy. Identifying the genetic predictors of mucosal healing to anti-TNF therapy can prevent patients from exposure to ineffective therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia may worsen disease progression and lead to poor outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine the effect of BMI on the development of COPD and mortality. METHODS We enrolled 437 584 participants registered in the physical health check-up cohort database of the Korean National Health Interview Survey from 2002 to 2003, and we defined COPD diagnosis based on the ICD-10 code and prescribed medication. BMI (kg m-2 ) classified them to five groups (low BMI < 18.5, normal BMI 18.5-23, overweight 23-25, obesity 25-30, severe obesity ≥30) at baseline. RESULTS Participants in the low BMI group had a significantly higher rate of COPD development for 13 years (7.6%) than those in other groups (3.4-4.1%, P < 0.0001). Amongst never or light smokers, COPD development in the low BMI group (5.6-6.7%) was significantly higher than that in other groups (2.8-4.7%). Similarly, amongst participants with a smoking history of ≥30 years, COPD development in the low BMI group (20.1%) was higher than those in other groups (8.4-12.4%). On multivariable analysis, normal or higher than normal body weight was significantly protective against the development of COPD (hazard ratio [HR], 0.609-0.739,) compared to low BMI. COPD-free-survival (HR, 0.491-0.622) and overall survival (HR, 0.440-0.585) were also better in them compared to those with low BMI (all P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Low BMI is an important risk factor for COPD development and mortality. Maintaining adequate body weight may reduce the risk for COPD development and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Tobacco smoking is a risk factor for gastrointestinal disorders, causing mucosal damage and impairing immune responses. However, smoking has been found to be protective against ulcerative colitis (UC). Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) is a major susceptibility locus for UC, and HLA-DRB1*15:02 has the strongest effect in Asians. This study investigated the effects of smoking on the association between HLA and UC. METHODS The study enrolled 882 patients with UC, including 526 never, 151 current, and 205 former smokers, and 3091 healthy controls, including 2124 never, 502 current, and 465 former smokers. Smoking-stratified analyses of HLA data were performed using a case-control approach. RESULTS In a case-control approach, HLA-DRB1*15:02 was associated with UC in never smokers (ORnever smokers = 3.20, Pnever smokers = 7.88 × 10-23 ) but not in current or former smokers (Pcurrent smokers = 0.72 and Pformer smokers = 0.33, respectively). In current smokers, HLA-DQB1*06 was associated with UC (ORcurrent smokers = 2.59, Pcurrent smokers = 6.39 × 10-12 ). No variants reached genome-wide significance in former smokers. CONCLUSIONS An association between UC and HLA-DRB1*15:02 was limited to never smokers. Our findings highlight that tobacco smoking modifies the effects of HLA on the risk of UC.

Abstract
The proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells plays a crucial role in pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. The principal objective of this study was to determine the effects of Ojeoksan (OJS) on human aortic smooth muscle cell (HASMC) proliferation induced by tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-aα). Thymidine incorporation after TNF-α treatment was increased and this effect was inhibited significantly by OJS treatment. HASMC proliferation and migration by kinetic live cell imaging were also reduced by treatment with OJS. TNF-α induced the expression of cyclins/cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and reduced the expression of p21waf1/cip1/p27kip1. However, OJS also attenuated the expression of TNF-α-induced cell-cycle regulatory proteins. The results of Western blot analysis demonstrated that the TNF-α treated HASMC secreted gelatinases, probably including MMP-2/-9, which may be involved in the invasion and migration of HASMC. Additionally, OJS suppressed the mRNA expression levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2/-9 (MMP-2/-9) in a dose-dependent manner. OJS inhibited the production of TNF-α-induced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and the formation of DCF-sensitive intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Further, OJS suppressed the nuclear translocation and phosphorylation of inhibitor of kappa B-α (IκB-α) of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) under TNF-α conditions. Our results demonstrate that OJS exerts inhibitory effects on TNF-α-induced HASMC proliferation and migration, suggesting the involvement of the inhibition of both MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions, and the downregulation of ROS/NF-κB signaling. Thus, herbal decoction OJS may be a possible therapeutic approach to the inhibition of cardiovascular disease including atherosclerosis.

Abstract
We present new constraints on the dark matter-induced annual modulation signal using 1.7 years of COSINE-100 data with a total exposure of 97.7 kg yr. The COSINE-100 experiment, consisting of 106 kg of NaI(Tl) target material, is designed to carry out a model-independent test of DAMA/LIBRA's claim of WIMP discovery by searching for the same annual modulation signal using the same NaI(Tl) target. The crystal data show a 2.7 cpd/kg/keV background rate on average in the 2-6 keV energy region of interest. Using a χ-squared minimization method we observe best fit values for modulation amplitude and phase of 0.0092±0.0067 cpd/kg/keV and 127.2±45.9 d, respectively.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a heterogeneous disorder in terms of age at onset, clinical phenotypes, severity, disease course, and response to therapy. This underlines the need for predictive and precision medicine that can optimize diagnosis and disease management, provide more cost-effective strategies, and minimize the risk of adverse events. Ideally, we can leverage molecular profiling to predict the risk to develop IBD and disease progression. Despite substantial successes of genome-wide association studies in the identification of genetic variants affecting IBD susceptibility, molecular profiling of disease onset and progression as well as of treatment responses has lagged behind. Still, thanks to technological advances and good study designs, predicting phenotypes using genomics and transcriptomics in IBD has been rapidly evolving. In this review, we summarize the current status of prediction of disease risk, clinical course, and response to therapy based on clinical case presentations. We also discuss the potential and limitations of the currently used approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The risk and clinical impact of perianal disease (PAD) in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients have not been fully evaluated. We investigated the incidence of PAD in UC patients and compared clinical characteristics and outcomes of UC according to the presence of PAD. METHODS We performed a nationwide population-based cohort study and a hospital-based cohort study. Using the 2010-2014 data from the Korean National Health Insurance claims database, we calculated incidence rates and standardized incidence ratios of PAD in UC patients compared with the general population. We evaluated the clinical characteristics and outcomes of UC patients with PAD in both population-based and hospital-based cohorts. To reduce clinically meaningful confounding factors, we also conducted matched analyses. RESULTS In the population-based cohort, the incidence rate and standardized incidence ratio of PAD in UC patients were 3.74/1000 person-years (95% confidence interval, 3.25-4.31) and 2.88 (95% confidence interval, 2.50-3.32), respectively. In the hospital-based cohort, the cumulative probabilities of PAD at 1, 5, 10, and 20 years after diagnosis were 1.0%, 2.3%, 4.0%, and 6.3%, respectively. In both population-based and hospital-based cohorts, UC patients with PAD showed higher proportions of corticosteroid use and extensive colitis at diagnosis. The requirements for anti-tumor necrosis factor agents and colectomy were significantly higher in UC patients with PAD before and after matched analysis. CONCLUSIONS The risk of PAD is higher in UC patients than in the general population. UC patients with PAD have distinct clinical features and poor outcomes, as indicated by the greater need for UC-related medications and colectomy.

Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are the major types of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by recurring episodes of inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Although it is well established that human leukocyte antigen (HLA) is a major risk factor for IBD, it is yet to be determined which HLA alleles or amino acids drive the risks of CD and UC in Asians. To define the roles of HLA for IBD in Asians, we fine-mapped HLA in 12 568 individuals from Korea and Japan (3294 patients with CD, 1522 patients with UC and 7752 controls). We identified that the amino acid position 37 of HLA-DRβ1 plays a key role in the susceptibility to CD (presence of serine being protective, P = 3.6 × 10-67, OR = 0.48 [0.45-0.52]). For UC, we confirmed the known association of the haplotype spanning HLA-C*12:02, HLA-B*52:01 and HLA-DRB1*1502 (P = 1.2 × 10-28, OR = 4.01 [3.14-5.12]).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Given the aging population, the treatment of vascular dementia (VaD) is becoming increasingly important. The antioxidant α-lipoic acid (α-LA) protects against neurodegeneration in VaD, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Hence, we aimed to identify the effects of α-LA on cognitive function following chronic cerebrovascular hypoperfusion in a VaD animal model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mice were categorized into the sham, bilateral common carotid artery stenosis (BCAS), or BCAS + α-LA group. The BCAS + α-LA group was intraperitoneally injected (100 mg/kg) once daily with α-LA for 4 weeks after BCAS surgery, while the BCAS and sham groups were injected with saline. After the last injection, we examined cognitive function and exploration behavior using the Morris water maze. Mice brains were then harvested for Western blot analyses. RESULTS The BCAS group, but not the BCAS + α-LA group, showed cognitive dysfunction in the Morris water maze. Apoptosis pathways involving poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage, phosphorylated-mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR), phosphorylated-3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1, and phosphorylated-protein kinase B (p-AKT) were enhanced in the BCAS group than the α-LA group. The BCAS + α-LA group demonstrated less PARP cleavage and p-mTOR function than did the BCAS group. The activity of autophagy pathways involving LC3B was higher in the BCAS and BCAS + α-LA groups than the sham group, but there were no significant differences between the BCAS and BCAS + α-LA groups. CONCLUSIONS In the BCAS rodent model, cognitive dysfunction and apoptosis mediated by the phosphatase and tensin homolog/AKT/mTOR pathway were observed in the hippocampus. However, acting on the mTOR pathway, α-LA improved cognitive function and led to hippocampal cell survival. Thus, α-LA may be useful for treating VaD.

Abstract
A search for inelastic boosted dark matter (IBDM) using the COSINE-100 detector with 59.5 days of data is presented. This relativistic dark matter is theorized to interact with the target material through inelastic scattering with electrons, creating a heavier state that subsequently produces standard model particles, such as an electron-positron pair. In this study, we search for this electron-positron pair in coincidence with the initially scattered electron as a signature for an IBDM interaction. No excess over the predicted background event rate is observed. Therefore, we present limits on IBDM interactions under various hypotheses, one of which allows us to explore an area of the dark photon parameter space that has not yet been covered by other experiments. This is the first experimental search for IBDM using a terrestrial detector.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing at an alarming rate. It is a major factor for many other metabolic disorders. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of increase body mass index (BMI) and obesity and their associated demographic characteristics among adults in an urban area. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted where data was extracted from the Health Status Screening Form (BSSK) at health clinics in Johor Bahru. Using the World Health Organization (WHO), criteria for obesity, BMI≥30.0 kg/m2 was specified as obese and combination of both BMI ranges for overweight (25.0-30.0kg/m2) and obesity (≥30.0kg/m2) as elevated BMI. RESULTS The overall prevalence of elevated BMI and obesity was 54.6% and 20.1% respectively. Men had a higher prevalence of elevated BMI (57.4%) with odds of 1.28 higher (95%CI: 1.04-1.58). High prevalence of elevated BMI and obesity were seen among the Indians (elevated BMI - 60.2%, obesity - 19.4%) followed by Malays (elevated BMI -57.8%, obesity - 23.1%) and Chinese showed the lowest (elevated BMI - 39.0%, obesity - 8.8%). The odds of elevated BMI and obesity were lower among younger adults as compared to older adults (≥30 years old). CONCLUSION Using WHO criteria, about one in two adults had elevated BMI while one in five were obese. Elevated BMI and obesity disparities were evident in age and ethnicity, but sex differences were encountered in elevated BMI group.

Abstract
Abstract
18F-FluorThanatrace ([18F]-FTT) is a novel radiotracer shown to quantify Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 (PARP-1) expression in vitro and in vivo through a receptor-ligand interaction. A recent study at the University of Pennsylvania in women with ovarian cancer demonstrated in vivo visualization of PARP-1 expression in tumors using this radiotracer that closely correlated with an in vitro assay of PARP-1 in tumor tissue (Makvandi, M. J. Clin. Invest. 128:2116, 2018). A radioligand with PARP-1 specificity, [125I]-KX1, was also developed as a companion tool for ex vivo evaluation of PARP-1 expression and PARP inhibitor (PARPi) drug occupancy by radioligand binding assay (Makvandi, M. Cancer Res. 76:4516, 2016). As the first step in validating this biomarker in breast cancer, we performed a prospective clinical trial comparing in vivo [18F]-FTTuptake and ex vivo PARP-1 expression in women with primary breast cancer.
Methods: 24 patients with Stage I-IV primary breast cancer were imaged with [18F]-FTT prior to any therapy including surgery. We correlated in vivo uptake with ex vivo immunohistochemistry (IHC) for PARP-1 and [125I]-KX1 autoradiography in untreated surgical specimens. Tumors were analyzed for alterations in DNA repair genes, copy number-based as well as mutational signatures indicative of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and mutational burden, using our established protocol (Maxwell, KN, Nature Commun. 8:319, 2017).
Results: [18F]-FTT uptake was visualized above background in all primary breast tumors and known metastases. Two areas of unexpected uptake revealed an unknown contralateral breast cancer and an ovarian carcinoid, respectively. We expected that uptake might be highest in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), where PARPi have been most heavily studied. However, a range of tracer uptake was observed in tumors independent of breast cancer subtype (hormone receptor positive/HER2 negative, TNBC, HER2+) and BRCA status. Uptake ratios (SUVmax tumor/SUV max opposite breast) ranged from 1.2-10.5 with a median 4.0. Ex vivo[125I]-KX1 autoradiography was performed on a subset of untreated primary tumors (n=5) and compared with IHC staining for PARP-1 on sequential sections. This revealed a close spatial correspondence between elevated PARP-1 expression by IHC and regions of elevated [125I]-KX1 binding radiographically. There was also a strong positive correlation between in vivo [18F]-FTT uptake and ex vivo quantitative [125I]-KX1 autoradiography (r=0.78). Genomic analysis of HRD in all tumors is pending and will be reported.
Conclusion: Initial analyses support the ability of [18F]-FTT to visualize and measure PARP-1 expression in breast cancer. This is the first step toward developing an imaging companion diagnostic to help guide PARP inhibitor treatment in breast cancer. Ongoing studies are expanding upon these results, testing the extent to which expression of PARP-1 by [18F]-FTT can predict response to PARP inhibitors and measure target engagement during therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Surveillance of recurrence after standard treatment of breast cancer (BC) for early detection and it's impact on overall survival are known to differ depending on recurrent site. Current guideline recommends asymptomatic surveillance to only detect loco-regional recurrences. As the evidences depend on historical randomized clinical trials we aimed to address questions whether earlier detection might have impact on survival now that plenty of new treatment strategies can be offered. Also to give answers to heterogeneous surveillance strategy in real-world practice we performed a retrospective 10yr-survival analysis of a large cohort of recurrent BC patients according to their detection method.
From 4188 operable breast cancer patients who completed standard treatment Asan Medical Center from 2006 to 2008 469 patients with recurrent BC were analyzed. Median disease free interval was 35.3 months (range 2.8-97.6) and overall survival (OS) was analyzed as time from initial diagnosis/surgery to death. Among 469 patients who developed recurrence 23.7% were local (ipsilateral breast skin chest wall) 22.6% were regional (ipsilateral axillary internal mammary lymph nodes) and 53.7% developed distant metastasis. 10yr-overall survival was analyzed according to recurrent site and it's detection method.
Detection of recurrence were categorized as 'asymptomatic surveillance (N=162, 34.5%)' and 'symptom-guided (N=307, 65.5%)'. Asymptomatic screening method included mammography breast-ultrasound serum tumor marker (CA15-3) and systemic images (eg. chest X-ray bone scan PET scans). Symptom-guided detection rate for local regional and distant metastasis was 14.9%, 5.5% and 15.1% respectively. Overall asymptomatic vs symptomatic 10yr-OS did not differ (81.3 vs 78.8 months, p=0.778). Among patients with distant metastasis 10ys-OS was not significantly different (70.3 vs 66.7 months p=0.846) and was similar according to stage/subtype. Among patients with local recurrence only 10yr-OS was 95.1 months ('symptomatic' vs 'aymptomatic 94.4 vs 94.5, p=0.809) which may be insufficient number of events to show significant difference. Among regional recurrent BCs, longer OS was observed in asymptomatically detected patients than symptom-guided group (86.1 vs 63.4, p=0.004). In Cox regression analyses asymptomatic detection showed significant better survival (HR=3.9, 95%CI:1.6-9.5) and this observation was more evident in patients with hormone receptor(HR) negative primary BCs (69.9 vs 47.9, p=0.029). Intriguingly, only 8.6% (7/80) of regional recurrence were diagnosed by mammography.
We observed survival benefit with asymptomatic screening in detecting regional recurrence especially in HR-negative primary BC patients. And role of systemic radiology even in advanced high risk breast cancer patients were limited. Although with limitation that surveillance method varied widely we emphasize the role of aymptomatic surveillance of regional nodal evaluation including breast-ultrasound. These findings are to be validated from a prospective clinical study along with using cutting edge modalities other than radiology which enable detection of micro-metastasis.

Abstract
AIM We aimed to isolate and propagate internal and external anal sphincter progenitor cells from the human anal sphincter, with or without radiotherapy, for tailored cell therapy of faecal incontinence. METHODS Sphincter progenitor cells were isolated from normal internal and external anal sphincters collected from 10 patients with rectal cancer who had undergone abdominoperineal resection with (n = 6) or without (n = 4) preoperative chemoradiotherapy. The isolated cells and differentiated muscle fibres were identified using immunofluorescence assay, western blotting and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The proliferation of progenitor cells with and without radiotherapy was compared by quantitative 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. RESULTS The immunofluorescence assay before differentiation confirmed that the internal anal sphincter progenitor cells expressed CD34 and neural-glial antigen 2 (NG2), whereas the external anal sphincter progenitor cells expressed CD34 and PAX7. After differentiation, the internal anal sphincter progenitor cells expressed desmin, calponin and α-smooth muscle actin, whereas the external anal sphincter progenitor cells expressed desmin, myogenic factor 4 and myosin heavy chain. The differential expression profiles of both cell types were confirmed by western blotting and RT-PCR. MTT assays showed that the viability of internal and external anal sphincter progenitor cells was significantly lower in the radiotherapy group than that in the nonradiotherapy group. CONCLUSIONS This study describes the differential harvest internal and external sphincter muscle progenitor cells from human anal sphincters. We confirm that radiotherapy decreases the viability of internal and external anal sphincter progenitor cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Few data are available on risk of herpes zoster (HZ) infection in Asian patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). We investigated whether patients with IBD in Korea have an increased risk of HZ and sought to identify risk factors for infection. METHODS We performed a nationwide population-based study and a hospital-based, nested case-control study. Using the 2009-2013 data from the Korean national health insurance claims database, we calculated incidence rates and standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) of HZ infection in patients with IBD compared with the entire Korean population. In the nested case-control study, within a hospital-based cohort, 300 patients with IBD and HZ infection were matched with 895 patients with IBD without HZ. RESULTS In the nationwide population-based study, the incidence rate and SIR of HZ infection in patients with IBD were 18.34/1000 person-years and 1.48 (95% CI, 1.42-1.54), respectively. The SIR for HZ infection was higher in patients with Crohn's disease than in patients with ulcerative colitis (1.90 vs 1.36; P < .001) and higher in male patients than female patients (1.63 vs 1.33; P < .001). The incidence rate of HZ increased with age (P trend < .001), whereas the SIR of HZ infection decreased with age (P trend < .001). In the nested case-control study, corticosteroid use was associated with HZ infection (for ulcerative colitis, adjusted odds ratio, 2.44; 95% CI, 1.18-5.05 and for Crohn's disease, adjusted odds ratio, 2.70; 95% CI 1.25-5.83). CONCLUSIONS In a population-based study in Korea, we found patients with IBD to have an increased risk for HZ infection-especially among patients who are male, younger, or have Crohn's disease. Corticosteroid use increases risk of HZ infection in patients with IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Multiple large colorectal lesions requiring endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are sometimes diagnosed during colonoscopy. We evaluated the feasibility and safety of ESD of two colorectal lesions in one session. MATERIALS AND METHODS The lesions of 16 patients who underwent two ESD procedures in a single session (double ESD group) from November 2009 to July 2014 were matched with those of 64 patients who underwent a single ESD procedure (single ESD group) based on the size and location of the lesion and presence of submucosal fibrosis. RESULTS The net ESD time per patient was longer in double ESD group than in single ESD group (104.0±36.2 vs. 59.1±39.2 min, p<0.001). The net ESD time per lesion tended to be shorter in double ESD group than in single ESD group (49.6±30.0 vs. 59.1±39.2 min, p=0.077). The en bloc resection and curative resection rates did not differ between double ESD and single ESD groups (93.8 % vs. 98.4%, p=0.262; 90.6 % vs. 84.4 %, p=0.534, respectively). The intra- and postprocedural bleeding rates were 12.5% and 0% in double ESD group and 15.6% and 3.1% in single ESD group, respectively. Perforation occurred in two (6.3%) in double ESD group and in six (9.4%) in single ESD group (p=0.715). CONCLUSION Compared with the single ESD, two simultaneous colorectal ESD procedures in a patient did not increase complications; the en bloc and curative resection rates were similar when performed a single ESD procedure and two simultaneous ESD procedures.
