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
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
Background/Aims Long-term immunosuppressive therapies used to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are associated with an increased risk of infections, many of which can be prevented by vaccination. We assessed physicians' current approaches and clinical practices regarding vaccinations for IBD patients in different Asian countries/regions. Methods An internet-based survey was conducted among members of the Asian Organization for Crohn's and Colitis from September 2020 to November 2020. The questionnaire consisted of 2 parts covering general opinion on the relevance of vaccinations and clinical practice of vaccination. Results Overall, 384 Asian medical doctors responded to the survey. The majority of respondents considered it very (57.6%) or sufficiently (39.6%) important to perform vaccinations as recommended by the guidelines. About half of the Asian physicians (52.6%) were usually or always performing vaccinations. The influenza vaccine was the most frequently recommended vaccine for IBD patients. Half of the respondents (51.3%) did not recommend hepatitis A vaccine, especially in China (61.6%) and Japan (93.6%). The diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccine were never (35.2%) or rarely (29.4%) recommended. Conclusions The findings of this survey indicated similarities among countries/regions in terms of the current approaches and practices regarding vaccination of IBD patients; however, there are some differences that might reflect each country's domestic vaccination guidelines and health insurance particularly with certain vaccines in some countries/regions. Although Asian physicians largely recommend vaccination, more awareness among doctors and Asian consensus regarding differences in IBD vaccination among countries/regions may be required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Music has been used to reduce stress and improve task performance during medical therapy.
AIM To assess the effects of music on colonoscopy performance outcomes.
METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent colonoscopy performed by four endoscopists with popular music. Colonoscopy performance outcomes, such as insertion time, adenoma detection rate (ADR), and polyp detection rate (PDR), were compared between the music and non-music groups. To reduce selection bias, propensity score matching was used.
RESULTS After one-to-one propensity score matching, 169 colonoscopies were selected from each group. No significant differences in insertion time (4.97 vs 5.17 min, P = 0.795) and ADR (39.1% vs 46.2%, P = 0.226) were found between the two groups. Subgroup analysis showed that the insertion time (3.6 vs 3.8 min, P = 0.852) and ADR (51.1% vs 44.7%, P = 0.488) did not significantly differ between the two groups in experts. However, in trainees, PDR (46.9% vs 66.7%, P = 0.016) and ADR (25.9% vs 47.6%, P = 0.006) were significantly lower in the music than in the non-music group.
CONCLUSION The current study found that listening to music during colonoscopy did not affect procedure performance. Moreover, it suggested that music may distract trainees from appropriately detecting adenomas and polyps.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The quality-of-life of patients with irritable bowel syndrome is low; incorrect diagnosis/treatment causes economic burden and inappropriate consumption of medical resources. This survey-based study aimed to analyze the current status of irritable bowel syndrome treatment to examine differences in doctors' perceptions of the disease, and treatment patterns. METHODS From October 2019 to February 2020, the irritable bowel syndrome and Intestinal Function Research Study Group of the Korean Society of Neurogastroenterology and Motility conducted a survey on doctors working in primary, secondary, and tertiary healthcare institutions. The questionnaire included 37 items and was completed anonymously using the NAVER platform (a web-based platform), e-mails, and written forms. RESULTS A total of 272 doctors responded; respondents reported using the Rome IV diagnostic criteria (amended in 2016) for diagnosing and treating irritable bowel syndrome. Several differences were noted between the primary, secondary, and tertiary physicians' groups. The rate of colonoscopy was high in tertiary healthcare institutions. During a colonoscopy, the necessity of random biopsy was higher among physicians who worked at tertiary institutions. 'The patient did not adhere to the diet' as a reason for ineffectiveness using low-fermentable oligo-, di-, and mono-saccharides, and polyols diet treatment was higher among physicians in primary/secondary institutions, and 'There are individual differences in terms of effectiveness' was higher among physicians in tertiary institutions. In irritable bowel syndrome constipation predominant subtype, the use of serotonin type 3 receptor antagonist (ramosetron) and probiotics was higher in primary/secondary institutions, while serotonin type 4 receptor agonist was used more in tertiary institutions. In irritable bowel syndrome diarrhea predominant subtype, the use of antispasmodics was higher in primary/secondary institutions, while the use of serotonin type 3 receptor antagonist (ramosetron) was higher in tertiary institutions. CONCLUSION Notable differences were observed between physicians in primary/secondary and tertiary institiutions regarding the rate of colonoscopy, necessity of random biopsy, the reason for the ineffectiveness of low-fermentable oligo-, di-, and mono-saccharides, and polyols diet, and use of drug therapy in irritable bowel syndrome. In South Korea, irritable bowel syndrome is diagnosed and treated according to the Rome IV diagnostic criteria, revised in 2016.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Crohn's disease (CD) is associated with altered body composition, affecting clinical outcomes. We evaluated the impact of biologics on body composition in CD patients. METHODS This multicenter longitudinal study across four Korean university hospitals conducted from January 2009 to August 2021 retrospectively reviewed data of CD patients with abdominal computed tomography (CT) before and after the biologic treatment. Skeletal muscle area (SMA), visceral fat area (VFA), and subcutaneous fat area (SFA) of the third lumbar vertebra (L3) on CT were measured. Myopenia was defined as L3 skeletal muscle index (SMI) of < 49 and < 31 cm2/m2 for men and women, respectively. RESULTS Among 112 participants, 79 (70.5%) had myopenia. In the myopenia group, all body composition parameters were significantly increased after the biologic treatment: SMI (37.68 vs. 39.40 cm2/m2; P < 0.001), VFA (26.12 vs. 54.61 cm2; P < 0.001), SFA (44.29 vs. 82.42 cm2; P < 0.001), while no significant differences were observed in the non-myopenia group. In multivariate analysis, penetrating CD (hazard ratio, 5.40; P = 0.020) was the independent prognostic factor for surgery. Operation-free survival rate tended to decrease in the myopenia group (Log-rank test, P = 0.090). CONCLUSIONS Biological agents can increase all body composition parameters in CD patients with myopenia. These patients are more likely to experience surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of endoscopic resection for of 10-20 mm rectal neuroendocrine tumor (NET) remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and risk factors associated with poor prognosis after endoscopic resection of 10-20 mm rectal NET and to determine the optimal treatment. METHODS Patients who underwent endoscopic resection for rectal NET in four tertiary hospitals were enrolled, and data on with the clinical outcomes and risk factors related to poor prognosis were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS A total of 105 patients who underwent endoscopic submucosal resection (ESD; n = 65, 61.9%), modified endoscopic mucosal resection (mEMR; n = 31, 29.5%), and conventional EMR (cEMR; n = 9, 8.6%) were enrolled. The mean follow-up period was 41.2 ± 21.9 months. In the morphologic findings, the mean diameter was 11.6 mm (range 10-19); the shape was sessile (50.5%) and mixed type (49.5%), and surface depression was observed in 41.9% of patients. In the histologic findings, 87.6% of patients had G1 and 12.4% G2 tumor grade, and 3.8% of patients had lymphovascular invasion. The overall en bloc and histologically complete (R0) resections were 99.1% and 76.2%, respectively. cEMR was a less-frequently developed R0 resection. In the univariate and multivariate analyses for R0 resection, only surface depression was significantly associated. Regional or distant organs metastasis during follow-up developed in three patients (2.9%) and was significantly associated with female sex, redness, G2 tumor grade, and non-ESD methods. CONCLUSION Patients who underwent endoscopic resection of 10-20 mm rectal NET had good prognosis; therefore, endoscopic resection can be considered as the first-line treatment, particularly for 10-14 mm rectal NET. However, the risk factors, such as female sex, redness, G2 tumor grade and non-ESD methods, were associated with regional or distant metastases during follow-up. Therefore, patients with these risk factors should be carefully monitored.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The optimal treatment for acute malignant obstruction of the proximal colon (MOPC, proximal to the splenic flexure) remains challenging. Emergency resection, the traditional modality for MOPC, has shown significantly high mortality and morbidity rates, according to recent studies. This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of stent vs stoma as a bridge to curative surgery for MOPC. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 72 patients who underwent endoscopic placement of a self-expanding metallic stent (SEMS) or loop ileostomy for MOPC at six referral centers between January 2011 and July 2021. Clinical and pathological characteristics, procedure-related complications, and long-term mortality rates after curative surgery were analyzed. RESULTS During a mean follow-up period of 32 months, 30 patients (41.7%) underwent ileostomy preferentially for more proximal cancer, complete obstruction, and advanced tumor stage compared to the SEMS group. No difference was found in procedure-related complications, but five deaths were observed after ileostomy. Survival analysis for 5-year mortality after curative surgery showed no significant difference between the bridge modalities (log-rank p = 0.253). CONCLUSION In this study, SEMS as a bridge to surgery showed relatively safe results in terms of post-procedural mortality. However, these results should be considered when performing ileostomy in patients with more advanced malignant obstruction.

Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is a relapsing and progressive condition characterized by diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and hematochezia that results in serious complications such as perforations, fistulas, and abscesses. Various medications, interventions, and surgical treatments have been used to treat CD. The Korean guidelines for CD management were distributed in 2012 and revised in 2017 by the Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Research Group of the Korean Association for the Study of Intestinal Diseases. Substantial progress in mucosal immunologic research has elucidated the pathophysiology of IBD, leading to development of biological agents for treatment of CD. The first developed biologic agent, tumor necrosis factor-α agents, were shown to be efficacious in CD, heralding a new era in management of CD. Subsequently, vedolizumab, a monoclonal antibody against integrin α4β7, and ustekinumab, a human monoclonal antibody that inhibits the common p40 subunit of interleukin-12 and interleukin-23, were both approved for clinical use and are efficacious and safe for both induction and maintenance of remission in moderate-to-severe CD patients. Moreover, a recent study showed the non-inferiority of CT-P13, an infliximab biosimilar, compared with infliximab in CD patients. The third Korean guidelines for CD management provide updated information regarding treatment of moderate-to-severe CD patients with biologic agents.

Abstract
Gastric wall abscess, a localized form of phlegmonous gastritis, is a rare complication of endoscopic resection. We report the first case of gastric wall abscess developing after endoscopic submucosal dissection in Korea. A 72-year-old woman visited our clinic to receive treatment for gastric adenoma. The patient successfully underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection with no complications. The final diagnosis was well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. We performed follow-up endoscopy 10 weeks later and found a large subepithelial lesion on the posterior wall of the gastric antrum. Abdominal computed tomography revealed hypodense wall thickening and a 5 cm heterogenous multilobular mass in the submucosal layer of the gastric antrum. Submucosal invasion with mucin-producing adenocarcinomas could therefore not be excluded. The patient agreed to undergo additional gastrectomy due to the possibility of a highly malignant lesion. The final diagnosis was acute suppurative inflammation with the formation of multiple abscesses in the mural layers and omentum. The patient was discharged with no complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Dietary factors can aggravate the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Many IBS patients try restrictive diets to relieve their symptoms, but the types of diets with an exacerbating factor are unknown. Therefore, this paper reports the results of a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) reviewing the efficacy of food restriction diets in IBS. METHODS The MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Clinicaltrials.gov databases were searched until July 21, 2021, to retrieve RCTs assessing the efficacy of restriction diets in adults with IBS. Two independent reviewers performed the eligibility assessment and data abstraction. RCTs that evaluated a restriction diet versus a control diet and assessed the improvement in global IBS symptoms were included. These trials reported a dichotomous assessment of the overall response to therapy. RESULTS A total of 1,949 citations were identified. After full-text screening, 14 RCTs were considered eligible for the systematic review and network meta-analysis. A starch- and sucrose-reduced diet and a diet with low-fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) showed significantly better results than a usual diet. Symptom flare-ups in patients on a gluten- free diet were also significantly lower than in those on high-gluten diets. CONCLUSIONS These findings showed that the starch- and sucrose-reduced, low FODMAP, and gluten-free diets had superior effects in reducing IBS symptoms. Further studies, including head-to-head trials will be needed to establish the effectiveness of dietary restrictions on IBS symptoms.

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 The role of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in patients with acute infectious colitis is still unclear.
AIM To examine the usefulness of MDCT in distinguishing the etiology of acute infectious colitis.
METHODS Overall, 244 patients who met the criteria for acute infectious colitis and visited the Hospital from February 2015 to 2018 were retrospectively enrolled and divided into two groups (bacterial: 204, viral: 40) according to causes of acute colitis, based on stool PCR. Eleven MDCT parameters, including wall thickening, submucosal edema, mucosal enhancement, serosa involvement, empty colon sign, small bowel involvement, comb sign, continuous distribution, accordion sign, mucosal thickening, and lymph node enlargement, were constructed in a blinded fashion.
RESULTS MDCT parameters of wall thickening (OR: 13.60; 95%CI: 5.80–31.88; P < 0.001), submucosal edema (OR: 36.08; 95%CI: 13.54–96.13; P < 0.001), mucosal enhancement (OR: 22.55; 95%CI: 9.28–54.81; P < 0.001), serosal involvement (OR: 14.50; 95%CI: 3.33–63.23; P < 0.001), empty colon sign (OR: 6.68; 95%CI: 2.44–18.32; P < 0.001), continuous distribution (OR: 24.09; 95%CI: 9.38–61.90; P < 0.001), accordion sign (OR: 9.02; 95%CI: 1.12–72.35; P = 0.038), mucosal thickening (OR: 46.41; 95%CI: 10.38–207.51; P < 0.001), and lymph node enlargement (OR: 4.39; 95%CI: 1.22–15.72; P = 0.023) were significantly associated with bacterial colitis. At least one positive finding in four CT outcomes (submucosal edema, mucosal enhancement, continuous distribution, mucosal thickening) in summer showed a high probability of bacterial colitis (sensitivity, 41.67; specificity, 92.50; OR: 24.95).
CONCLUSION MDCT provides many clues that can be useful in suggesting a specific etiology of acute infectious colitis.

Abstract
The present study pioneered an oxygen migration-driven metal to insulator transition Mott memory, a new type of nonvolatile memory using lanthanum titanium oxide (LTO). We first show the reset first bipolar property without an initial electroforming process in LTO. We used oxygen-deficient ZnO as an interlayer between LTO and a W electrode to clarify whether oxygen migration activates LTO as the Mott transition. ZnO oxygen deficiency provides oxygen ion migration paths as well as a reservoir, facilitating oxygen migration from LTO to the W electrode. Thus, including the ZnO interlayer improved oxygen migration between LTO and the W electrode, achieving a 10-fold increased on/off current ratio. The current research contributes to a better understanding of valence change Mott memory by exploring the LTO resistive switching mechanism and ZnO interlayer influences on the oxygen migration process.

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
Background/Aims The effect of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) on esophageal body movement in achalasia is poorly understood. This study aims to evaluate morphological changes in esophageal body movement after POEM in type III achalasia by analyzing intraluminal ultrasound (US) images in comparison to type I and II achalasia. Methods Intraluminal US images and impedance values of the distal esophagus from 47 achalasia patients who underwent POEM or pneumatic dilatation (PD) (30 patients in the POEM group and 17 patients in the PD group) with pre- and post-procedural high-resolution impedance manometry and intraluminal US examinations were analyzed. The muscle thickness (MT), muscle cross-sectional area, lumen cross-sectional area (LCSA), contractility and distensibility indices, swallow-to-distension interval, and distension duration during each bolus transport were analyzed. Results The MT increased and LCSA decreased significantly (P < 0.001), but the contractility index was not improved after POEM or PD in type I achalasia. Baseline MT increased and LCSA decreased significantly after POEM and PD in type II achalasia (P < 0.001). In contrast, MT and the swallow-to-distension interval decreased and the distension LCSA/duration and contractility index increased after POEM in type III achalasia (P < 0.001). In contrast to type I and II achalasia, in type III achalasia, these effects were unique to the POEM group. Conclusions POEM decreased the esophageal LCSA by decreasing intrabolus pressure without improving contractility in type I and II achalasia. In contrast, POEM increased esophageal body distension and contractility and improved the inhibitory process during bolus transport in type III achalasia.

Abstract
Background Dysbiosis of ulcerative colitis (UC) has been frequently investigated using readily accessible stool samples. However, stool samples might insufficiently represent the mucosa-associated microbiome status. We hypothesized that luminal contents including loosely adherent luminal bacteria after bowel preparation may be suitable for diagnosing the dysbiosis of UC. Methods This study included 16 patients with UC (9 men and 7 women, mean age: 52.13 ± 14.09 years) and 15 sex- and age-matched healthy individuals (8 men and 7 women, mean age: 50.93 ± 14.11 years). They donated stool samples before colonoscopy and underwent luminal content aspiration and endoscopic biopsy during the colonoscopy. Then, the composition of each microbiome sample was analyzed by 16S rRNA-based next-generation sequencing. Results The microbiome between stool, luminal contents, and biopsy was significantly different in alpha and beta diversities. However, a correlation existed between stool and luminal contents in the Procrustes test (p = 0.001) and Mantel test (p = 0.0001). The stool microbiome was different between patients with UC and the healthy controls. Conversely, no difference was found in the microbiome of luminal content and biopsy samples between the two subject groups. The microbiome of stool and lavage predicted UC, with AUC values of 0.85 and 0.81, respectively. Conclusion The microbiome of stool, luminal contents, and biopsy was significantly different. However, the microbiome of luminal contents during colonoscopy can predict UC, with AUC values of 0.81. Colonoscopic luminal content aspiration analysis could determine microbiome differences between patients with UC and the healthy control, thereby beneficial in screening dysbiosis via endoscopy.

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
PURPOSE 45% of colon cancer patients are elderly, yet they are often deviated from standard cancer management. The MOSAIC trial favored FOLFOX over FL with superior oncologic outcomes; however, which regimen is most beneficial in elderly population remains unclear. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of oxaliplatin-added chemotherapy and capecitabine monotherapy in high-risk stage II/stage III elderly colon cancer patients. METHODS Colon cancer patients ≥70 years of age who received adjuvant chemotherapy at Inje University Busan Paik Hospital between February 2009 to April 2016 were included. Patients were separated into the oxaliplatin-added group and capecitabine monotherapy group. The primary outcomes were CSS and OS. RESULTS Of 74 patients, 45 received oxaliplatin-added chemotherapy and 29 received capecitabine monotherapy. There was no difference between the two groups in CSS or OS (p = 0.9670 and p = 0.6801, respectively). The N stage was significantly associated with CSS in both uni/multivariate analysis (p = 0.0565 and p = 0.0347, respectively). The oxaliplatin-added group had more stage III patients, so we performed a subgroup analysis of CSS and OS based on stage, which also showed no significant difference. CONCLUSIONS Capecitabine monotherapy is an oncologically safe regimen compared to oxaliplatin-added regimens in elderly patients with high-risk stage II/stage III colon cancer.

Abstract
Peptic ulcer disease is common and can be diagnosed easily if the patient has an ulcer history or characteristic abdominal symptoms. On the other hand, it may take a long time for the patient to visit the hospital due to severe complications if the patient is old or insensitive to symptoms caused by peptic ulcers. In the present case, a 72-year-old female visited the hospital due to general weakness and inadequate oral intake, which started two weeks ago. Endoscopy and abdominal CT revealed huge gastric ulcer findings. Through a tissue examination by endoscopy, hepatic cells were identified, and the patient was diagnosed with peptic ulcer perforation to the liver and later received surgical treatment.

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
Background/Aims Our study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes and risk factors for relapse after anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α cessation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients because they are not well established. Methods A retrospective multicenter cohort study was conducted involving patients with Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) from 10 referral hospitals in Korea who discontinued firstline anti-TNF therapy after achieving clinical remission. Results A total of 109 IBD patients (71 CD and 38 UC) with a median follow-up duration of 56 months were analyzed. The cumulative relapse rates at 1, 3, and 5 years were 11.3%, 46.7%, and 62.5% for CD patients and 28.9%, 45.3%, and 60.9% for UC patients. Multivariable Cox analysis revealed that discontinuation owing to the clinician's decision was associated with lower risk of relapse (vs patient's preference: hazard ratio [HR], 0.13; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.04 to 0.48; p=0.002) and adalimumab use was associated with higher risk of relapse (vs infliximab: HR, 4.42; 95% CI, 1.24 to 17.74; p=0.022) in CD patients. Mucosal healing was associated with lower risk of relapse (vs nonmucosal healing: HR, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.02 to 0.83; p=0.031) in UC patients. Anti-TNF re-induction was provided to 52 patients, and a response was obtained in 50 patients. However, 25 of them discontinued retreatment owing to a loss of response (n=15), the patient's preference (n=6), and other factors (n=4). Conclusions More than 60% of IBD patients in remission under anti-TNF therapy relapsed within 5 years of treatment cessation. Anti-TNF re-induction was effective. However, half of the patients discontinued anti-TNF therapy, and 50% of these patients discontinued treatment owing to loss of response.

Abstract
Background/Aims The prevalence of eosinophilic esophagitis is increasing in Korea and there are few single-center studies regarding eosinophilic esophagitis in Korea. In particular, data about management for eosinophilic esophagitis are lacking. We aim to evaluate the practice patterns, including initial treatment and response, in the Busan city and Gyeongnam province area. Methods We retrospectively reviewed medical records to gain data on patient characteristics, medication, endoscopic images, and esophageal biopsy results. From January 2009 to December 2019, a total of 42 patients were diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis. Results The mean age was 50.7 (from 22 to 81) years and the cohort was predominantly male (78.6%, 33/42). The proton pump inhibitor was the preferred treatment as an initial trial for 64.3% (27/42) of patients, followed by swallowed topical steroids (16.7%, 7/42). Clinical improvement after proton pump inhibitor therapy was achieved in 88.9% (24/27) of patients. Two patients who did not achieve improvement showed a clinical and endoscopic response after swallowed topical steroids treatment. No patient received diet elimination or balloon dilatation therapy. Conclusions The treatment response of eosinophilic esophagitis was good in Busan city and Gyeongnam province area in Korea. Proton pump inhibitor therapy was the preferred and most effective treatment for eosinophilic esophagitis as the initial therapy.

Abstract
Duodenal varices are a serious complication of portal hypertension. Bleeding from duodenal varices is rare, but when bleeding does occur, it is massive and can be fatal. Unfortunately, the optimal therapeutic modality for duodenal variceal bleeding is unclear. This paper presents a patient with duodenal variceal bleeding that was managed successfully using percutaneous trans-splenic variceal obliteration (PTVO). A 56-year-old man with a history of alcoholic cirrhosis presented with a 6-day history of melena. Emergency esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a large, bluish mass with a nipple sign in the second portion of the duodenum. Coil embolization of the duodenal varix was performed via a trans-splenic approach (i.e., PTVO). The patient no longer complained of melena after treatment. The duodenal varix was no longer visible at the follow-up esophagogastroduodenoscopy performed three months after PTVO. The use of PTVO might be a viable option for the treatment of duodenal variceal bleeding.

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
The role of endoscopic balloon dilatation (EBD) using double-balloon catheters in patients with cricopharyngeal muscle dysfunction (CPD) is still unclear. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare the functional outcomes between patients receiving EBD and rehabilitative balloon swallowing (RBS).A total of 36 patients with CPD, who visited a teaching hospital from February 2014 to June 2017, were included in the study. Among them, 12 patients with severe dysphagia underwent EBD. After propensity score matching, 24 patients who underwent RBS were selected for comparison. We compared the effects of EBD and RBS using 4 functional swallowing parameters: functional dysphagia scale score, penetration-aspiration scale score, pharyngeal transit time, and percentage of pharyngeal remnant (PR) at baseline and after the first and second treatments. Using simple and multiple regression, we examined the associations between EBD/RBS and changes of 4 parameters after the treatments since the baselineAll functional parameters significantly decreased after RBS and EBD (P < .05). After the first therapy session, significant differences in the pharyngeal transit time (P = .034), percentage of PR (P = .008), and penetration-aspiration scale score (P = .014) were observed in the EBD group, compared with those in the RBS group. The regression analysis showed significant improvements in the PR after EBD compared with that after RBS (β = 0.95, SE = 0.31, P = .005).EBD may be an alternative treatment for patients with severe CPD. A significant improvement would be expected in such patients with PR.

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
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 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
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
BACKGROUND/AIMS It is unclear whether IgG4-related immune responses to food can play a role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of the present study was to investigate the serum levels of IgG4 to common food antigens in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD), and healthy controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six patients with CD (n=12) or UC (n=24) and 36 sex- and age-matched healthy individuals (mean age, 49 years) participated in the study. Serum levels of IgG4 to 90 common food antigens were measured. The number of subjects with positivity, defined by cut-off values ≥0.7 U/mL, was compared. RESULTS Serum titers of IgG4 to salmon, onion, shrimp, cuttlefish, eel, millet, gluten, soybean, and coconut in patients with IBD were significantly or tended to be higher than those in the control group. Serum levels of IgG4 to salmon, millet, and onion in patients with CD were significantly or tended to be higher than those in the control group. Serum titers of IgG4 to cuttlefish and onion in patients with UC tended to be higher than those in the control group. The number of subjects with positivity to cod, tuna, mackerel, oat, pea, peanut, and coconut was significantly higher in patients with CD than in healthy controls. The number of subjects with positivity to kiwi and cuttlefish was significantly higher in patients with UC than in controls. CONCLUSION Patients with IBD shows higher serum levels of IgG4 to diverse food antigens. Patients with CD present IgG4-related immune reactions to more foods than patients with UC.

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
Background/Aims The aim of this study was to assess whether increased intestinal gas or fat content in the abdominal cavity is related to abdominal bloating, using three-dimensional abdominal computed tomography scan. Methods Twenty-nine healthy individuals without abdominal bloating and organic disease (15 women; mean age, 49 years; range of age, 23-73 years) and 30 patients with chronic recurrent abdominal bloating-diagnosed with functional bloating (10 women; mean age, 53 years; range of age, 35-75 years) - participated in this study. The mean values of measured parameters were compared using independent sample t-test. Results The mean volume of total colon gas in bloated patients was similar to that in control subjects. The distribution of intra-abdominal gas was also similar between the two groups. However, the amount of gas in the transverse colon tended to be significantly higher in patients with bloating than in controls (p=0.06). Body mass index was similar between the two groups (23.4±3.2 kg/m2 and 22.3±3.1 kg/m2, respectively). Moreover, no significant differences with respect to circumferential area, subcutaneous fat, visceral fat area, and total fat area were found between the two groups. Conclusions Bloating might not just be the result of gastrointestinal gas or intra-abdominal fat. Other contributing factors, such as localized abnormality in gas distribution and visceral hypersensitivity, may be involved.

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
Acaricidal activities of the active component isolated from Melissa officinalis oil and its structural analogues against Tyrophagus putrescentiae were evaluated using fumigant and contact bioassays. The structure of 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal purified from M. officinalis oil was elucidated with EI-MS, 1H- and 13C-NMR, 1H-1H COSY, and DEPT-NMR. Based on the LD50 values of 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal analogues in fumigant and contact bioassays, respectively, 2,4-octadienal showed the highest activity (LD50 = 2.09 µg/cm3 and 11.08 µg/cm2), followed by 3,7-dimethyl-6-octenal (3.60 µg/cm3 and 29.34 µg/cm2), 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal (6.18 µg/cm3 and 36.17 µg/cm2), 2-octenal (7.45 µg/cm3 and 47.36 µg/cm2) and M. officinalis oil (8.89 µg/cm3 and 23.83 µg/cm2). Comparing the acaricidal activities of the aldehyde group based on the degree of unsaturation, 2,4-octadienal containing two double bonds was more potent than 2-octenal with a single double bond. Based on the acaricidal activities of the methyl group, on the other hand, 3,7-dimethyl-6-octenal containing a single double bond was more acaricidal than 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal with two double bonds. These results indicate that 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal analogues are useful to control food mites.
