Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our study aimed to investigate the association between shift work and stroke and determine whether this association varies depending on the presence of insomnia. METHODS Utilizing the KoGES prospective cohort data, our primary exposure variables were shift work and insomnia. The occurrence of stroke was the main outcome of interest. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using Cox regression analysis. An interaction analysis was conducted to assess the interaction of shift work and insomnia on stroke incidence. RESULTS In the interaction analysis, shift work was significantly associated with stroke incidence only in groups with insomnia and an HR of 2.49 (1.02-6.11). CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that shift work was associated with a higher risk of stroke among the population with insomnia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS While switching strategies of P2Y12 receptor inhibitors (RIs) have sometimes been used in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients, the current status of in-hospital P2Y12RI switching remains unknown. METHODS Overall, 8,476 AMI patients who underwent successful revascularization from Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry-National Institute of Health (KAMIR-NIH) were divided according to in-hospital P2Y12RI strategies, and net adverse cardiovascular events (NACEs), defined as a composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, or thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) major bleeding during hospitalization were compared. RESULTS Patients with in-hospital P2Y12RI switching accounted for 16.5%, of which 867 patients were switched from clopidogrel to potent P2Y12RI (C-P) and 532 patients from potent P2Y12RI to clopidogrel (P-C). There were no differences in NACEs among the unchanged clopidogrel, the unchanged potent P2Y12RIs, and the P2Y12RI switching groups. However, compared to the unchanged clopidogrel group, the C-P group had a higher incidence of non-fatal MI, and the P-C group had a higher incidence of TIMI major bleeding. In clinical events of in-hospital P2Y12RI switching, 90.9% of non-fatal MI occurred during pre-switching clopidogrel administration, 60.7% of TIMI major bleeding was related to pre-switching P2Y12RIs, and 71.4% of TIMI major bleeding was related to potent P2Y12RIs. Only 21.6% of the P2Y12RI switching group switched to P2Y12RIs after a loading dose (LD); however, there were no differences in clinical events between patients with and without LD. CONCLUSION In-hospital P2Y12RI switching occurred occasionally, but had relatively similar clinical outcomes compared to unchanged P2Y12RIs in Korean AMI patients. Non-fatal MI and bleeding appeared to be mainly related to pre-switching P2Y12RIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary endoscopic closure of a perforated gastric wall during endoscopic procedures is mostly effective and well-tolerated; however, there are very few studies on the efficacy of endoscopic management of delayed traumatic gastric perforation. Herein, we report a novel case of a patient who was successfully treated for delayed traumatic stomach perforation using an alternative endoscopic modality.
CASE SUMMARY A 39-year-old woman presented with multiple penetrating traumas in the back and left abdominal cavity. Initial imaging studies revealed left diaphragmatic disruption and peri-splenic hemorrhage without gastric perforation. An emergency primary repair of the disrupted diaphragm with omental reduction and suturing of the lacerated lung was performed; however, delayed free perforation of the gastric wall was noted on computed tomography after 3 d. Following an emergency abdominal surgery for the primary repair of the gastric wall, re-perforation was noted 15 d postoperatively. The high risk associated with re-surgery prompted an endoscopic intervention using 2 endoloops and 11 endoscopic clips using a novel modified purse-string suture technique. The free perforated gastric wall was successfully repaired without additional surgery or intervention. The patient was discharged after 46 d without any complications.
CONCLUSION Endoscopic closure with endoloops and clips can be a useful therapeutic alternative to re-surgery for delayed traumatic gastric perforation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Although cardiovascular (CV) risk factors are well established, some patients experience acute myocardial infarction (AMI) even without any risk factors. METHODS We analyzed total 11,390 patients (63.6 ± 12.6 years old, 8,401 males) with AMI enrolled in Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry-National Institute of Health from November, 2011 to December, 2015. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of any CV risk factors (group I, without risk factors, n = 1,420 [12.5%]; group II, with risk factors, n = 9,970 [87.5%]). In-hospital outcomes were defined as in-hospital mortality and complications. One-year clinical outcomes were defined as the composite of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). RESULTS Group I was older (67.3 ± 11.6 years old vs. 63.0 ± 12.7 years old, p < 0.001) and had higher prevalence of female gender (36.2% vs. 24.8%, p < 0.001) than the group II. Group I experienced less previous history of angina pectoris (7.0% vs. 9.4%, p = 0.003) and the previous history of cerebrovascular accidents (3.4% vs. 6.9%, p < 0.001). In-hospital mortality (2.6% vs. 3.0%, p = 0.450) and complications (20.6% vs. 20.0%, p = 0.647) were no differences between the groups. And 1 year clinical outcomes (5.7% vs. 5.1%, p = 0.337) were no differences between the groups. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, serum creatinine level (hazard ratio, 1.35; 95% confidence interval, 1.05 to 1.75; p = 0.021) were independent predictors of 1 year MACE in patients without any CV risk factors. CONCLUSION Elderly female patients were prone to develop AMI even without any modifiable CV risk factors. We suggest that more intensive care is needed in AMI patients without any CV risk factors who have high serum creatinine levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Serum microRNA (miR) in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients has been rarely identified. The objective of this study was to find AS-specific miR in sera of patients with AS. METHODS Total RNAs were isolated from whole sera of patients with AS, patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and healthy controls (HC) using miRNeasy Serum/Plasma Kit. The presence of miR was assayed using Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer Small RNA assay. Each RNA sample was used for miR microarray. To verify microarray results, candidate circulating miRs were validated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) using samples from patients with AS (n = 65), patients with RA (n = 25), and HCs (n = 39). Cycle threshold values were converted to copy numbers by drawing a standard curve using a synthetic chemical standard. All clinical values were also evaluated at the time of miR isolation. RESULTS A total of 887 miRs were screened for three groups. Lower expression of miR-214 in AS than in HC and RA was observed after normalization of raw data. Finally, lower expression of serum miR-214 was confirmed in AS after validation by qPCR. Correlation analysis showed that the level of miR-214 of AS was significantly associated with Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score-C-reactive protein (r = 0.299, P = 0.02). However, other disease-specific variables showed no statistical significance: gender (P = 0.286), peripheral arthritis (P = 0.634), enthesitis (P = 0.464), dacylitis (P = 0.750), psoriasis (P = 0.552), inflammatory bowel disease (P = 0.369), human leukocyte antigen-B27 positivity (P = 0.473), use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (P = 0.448), and use of tumor necrosis factor-blocker in the last 3 months (P = 0.505). CONCLUSION miR-214 may serve as a noninvasive biomarker for diagnosis of AS. In addition, expression level of miR-214 was associated with disease activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the effect of overweight or obesity on clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) has been reported, the effect of undernutrition is not as well understood. Therefore, we investigated whether acute MI patients frequently present with undernutrition, and whether this influences poor clinical outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS Using the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry database, we screened initial data on acute MI patients admitted within 48h of symptom onset to a tertiary university hospital between November 1, 2011 and May 31, 2015. We then assessed nutritional status at admission, using the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI). Of a total of 2251 patients, there were 1585 (70.4%) men, and mean age was 65.0±12.8 years. Based on GNRI score, undernutrition at admission was present in 409 (18.2%) patients. Multiple logistic regression analysis found undernutrition to be an independent factor influencing post-MI complications [odds ratio (OR), 2.13; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.61-2.84; p<0.001], after adjusting for age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, previous stroke, smoking, diagnosis, number of involved vessel lesions, Killip class, atrial fibrillation, baseline blood pressure, hemoglobin, creatine kinase-MB, creatinine, performance of percutaneous coronary intervention, reperfusion time, recanalization, and use of antithrombotics. Undernutrition was also an important factor influencing in-hospital death (OR, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.55-3.95; p<0.001), after adjusting for all potential factors by univariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS Nutritional status is a significant prognostic factor in clinical outcomes after MI during hospitalization. Therefore, nutritional assessment and intervention, especially for undernourished MI patients, should be considered.
