Abstract
Background and study aims Published studies report a higher adenoma detection rate (ADR) for FIT-DNA as compared with FIT. Data are less replete about the performance of stool-based tests for sessile serrated polyp (SSP) detection. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the performance of FIT and FIT-DNA testing for SSP detection rate (SSPDR) in patients undergoing colonoscopy for follow up of positive noninvasive tests. Methods A comprehensive literature search of multiple databases (until September 2022) was performed to identify studies reporting SSPDR in patients with positive FIT or FIT-DNA tests. The outcome was overall colonoscopy detection of any SSPs and advanced serrated polyps (ASP: SSP ≥ 10 mm and/or dysplasia). Results Included were 482,405 patients (52.4% females) with a mean age of 62.3 ± 4.4 years from 23 studies. The pooled SSPDR for all positive stool-based tests was 5.3% and higher for FIT-DNA (15.0%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 8.3-25.7) versus FIT (4.1%, 95% CI 3.0-5.6; P = 0.0002). The overall pooled ASP detection rate was 1.4% (95% CI 0.81-2.3) and higher for FIT-DNA (3.8 %, 95% CI 1.7-8.6) compared with FIT (0.71%, 95% CI 0.36-1.4; P <0.01). SSPDR with FIT-DNA was also significantly higher than FIT when the FIT cutoff was >10 ug/g and in FIT-positive patients in studies conducted in North America ( P <0.05). Conclusions FIT-DNA outperformed FIT in both SSP and ASP detection including FIT with a lower threshold cutoff of >10 ug/g. Further comparative studies are needed to assess the impact of our findings on colorectal cancer reduction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Studies show variability in gastroenterologists' management of gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) in the United States. In 2020, the American Gastroenterological Association published GIM guidelines, recommending physician-patient shared decision-making on GIM surveillance based on risk factors. We compared gastroenterologists' communication trends of a GIM finding and surveillance recommendations before and after 2020 and evaluated patient and provider factors associated with a surveillance recommendation. METHODS A sample of patients diagnosed with GIM on biopsies from upper endoscopies performed in 2018 (cohort A) and 2021 (cohort B) were included. Logistic regression analysis assessed the association between patient/provider characteristics and surveillance recommendations in the overall cohort and over time. MATERIALS In all, 347 patients were included: 175 in cohort A and 172 in B. Median age was 65.7 (56.0, 73.4), and 54.5% were females. Communication to patients about GIM findings and surveillance recommendations increased from 24.6% <2020 to 50% >2020 (P<0.001) and 20% <2020 to 41.3% >2020 (P<0.001), respectively. Overall, endoscopy >2020, family history of gastric cancer, autoimmune gastritis, female providers, and gastroenterologists with 10 to 20 years of experience were associated with a surveillance recommendation. The effect of family history of gastric cancer and the effect of the patient's female sex on surveillance was significantly different between both cohorts [Odds ratio (OR): 0.13, 95% (Confidence interval) CI: 0.02, 0.97 and OR 3.39, 95% CI: 1.12, 10.2, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Despite a 2-fold increase in surveillance recommendations after 2020, there was no meaningful effect of any of the patients' factors on a recommendation for surveillance over time, which raises the question as to whether surveillance is being offered to both average and high-risk patients without thorough risk stratification.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma (EGJAC) has been rising. Intestinal metaplasia of the esophagogastric junction (EGJIM) is a common finding in gastroesophageal reflux (irregular Z-line), and may represent an early step in the development of EGJAC in the West. Worldwide, EGJIM may represent progression along the Correa cascade triggered by Helicobacter pylori. We sought to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of endoscopic surveillance of EGJIM. METHODS We developed a decision-analytic model to compare endoscopic surveillance strategies for 50-year-old patients after diagnosis of non-dysplastic EGJIM; (1) no surveillance (standard of care), (2) endoscopy every 3 years, (3) every 5 years, or (4) one-time endoscopy at 3 years. We modeled four progression scenarios to reflect uncertainty: A (0.01% annual cancer incidence), B (0.05%), C (0.12%), D (0.22%). RESULTS Cost-effectiveness of endoscopic surveillance depended on the progression rate of EGJIM to cancer. In the lowest progression rate (scenario A, 0.01%), no surveillance strategies were cost-effective. In moderate progression scenarios, one-time surveillance at 3 years was cost-effective, at $30,989 and $16,526 per QALY for scenarios B (0.05%) and C (0.12%), respectively. For scenario D (0.22%), surveillance every 5 years was cost-effective at $77,695 per QALY.Discussion:Endoscopic surveillance is costly and can cause harm, however, low-intensity longitudinal surveillance (every 5 years) is cost-effective in populations with higher EGJAC incidence. No surveillance or one-time endoscopic surveillance of patients with EGJIM was cost-effective in low-incidence populations. Future studies to better understand the natural history of EGJIM, identify risk factors for progression, and inform appropriate surveillance strategies are required.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Follow-up raloxifene therapy after denosumab discontinuation resulted in a decrease in bone mass to the pre-denosumab levels and a rebound increase of bone turnover markers. The decrease in lumbar bone mineral density was particularly evident when the body mass index was low, there were previous vertebral fractures, or lumbar bone mineral density before denosumab administration was low. INTRODUCTION Selective estrogen receptor modulators may be an alternative to bisphosphonates for treating rebound resorption after discontinuing denosumab. This study aimed to investigate the effects of follow-up raloxifene therapy after denosumab discontinuation in postmenopausal women. METHODS This retrospective observational study included 61 patients who received 12-month follow-up raloxifene therapy after denosumab discontinuation. The primary endpoint was the bone mineral density change. The secondary endpoints were the changes in bone turnover markers and the incidence of new vertebral fractures. RESULTS Raloxifene administration for 12 months after denosumab discontinuation resulted in a significantly lower bone mineral density at all sites compared to the level at 6 months after the last denosumab treatment (lumbar spine, - 5.48%; femoral neck, - 2.95%; total hip, - 3.52%; all, p < 0.001). The decrease in lumbar bone mineral density was particularly evident when the body mass index was low, there were previous vertebral fractures, or lumbar bone mineral density before denosumab administration was low. Marked increases in the bone turnover markers from baseline were noted after switching to raloxifene. However, no new vertebral fractures occurred during raloxifene treatment. CONCLUSIONS Follow-up raloxifene therapy after denosumab discontinuation resulted in a decrease in bone mass to the pre-denosumab levels and a rebound increase of bone turnover markers. Therefore, raloxifene administered sequentially after denosumab discontinuation was not effective in preventing rebound phenomenon.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate whether the lactate-to-albumin ratio (LAR) can predict mortality in patients with sepsis or septic shock. PATIENTS AND METHODS A systematic search of the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases was conducted on December 16, 2021, for relevant articles that provided the predictive performance of LAR for mortality in patients with sepsis or septic shock. RESULTS Eight studies encompassing a total of 4,723 patients were included in this paper. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio of the LAR for predicting mortality were 0.71 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.54-0.84), 0.68 (95% CI: 0.58-0.76) and 5.23 (95% CI: 2.62-10.45), respectively. The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.74 (95% CI: 0.70-0.78). CONCLUSIONS The current evidence suggests that LAR is moderately predictive of mortality among patients with sepsis or septic shock and may be beneficial to identify high-risk patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute appendicitis (AA) is one of the most common surgical emergencies and causes of acute abdominal pain in the pediatric population. However, it can be difficult to diagnose in children. We aimed to provide updated evidence on the diagnostic utility of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for AA, along with other conventional biomarkers, in pediatric patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases for eligible articles published up to May 16, 2021. RESULTS We included 19 studies comprising a total of 5,974 pediatric cases. The overall sensitivity and specificity of the NLR were 0.82 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.79-0.85) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.69-0.81), respectively. The overall diagnostic odds ratio was 14.34 (95% CI: 9.05-22.73). The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.86 (95% CI: 0.83-0.89). The pooled sensitivity and specificity of other biomarkers were as follows: 0.79 (95% CI: 0.71-0.86) and 0.66 (95% CI: 0.54-0.77) for the white blood cell count, 0.73 (95% CI: 0.69-0.77) and 0.68 (95% CI: 0.55-0.79) for the C-reactive protein level, 0.75 (95% CI: 0.65-0.82) and 0.78 (95% CI: 0.72-0.83) for the absolute neutrophil count, and 0.83 (95% CI: 0.79-0.87) and 0.68 (95% CI: 0.53-0.80) for the neutrophil percentage, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The NLR has moderate predictive power for AA and can be used as a simple, auxiliary tool for diagnosis. NLR can also help clinicians decide whether to perform imaging testing when the clinical symptoms or physical examination findings are vague.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Population-based cohort study of 6,548,784 Korean subjects demonstrates that the risk of fracture was higher in patients with diabetes than in nondiabetic subjects. Furthermore, patients with type 1 diabetes were associated with a higher risk of fracture than patients with type 2 diabetes for all measurement sites. INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus is associated with increased fracture risk. Although the pathophysiologic effect on bone metabolism differs according to the type of diabetes, a higher risk of fracture in patients with diabetes than in nondiabetic patients has been consistently demonstrated. Considering the ever-increasing number of patients with diabetes, we aimed to provide updated information on whether this phenomenon remains valid in real-world settings by using large-scale population datasets. METHODS We conducted a retrospective longitudinal study using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service dataset of preventive health check-ups between January 2009 and December 2016. The hazard ratios were calculated for any fracture, vertebral fracture, and hip fracture and were analyzed according to the presence and type of diabetes. Among 10,585,818 subjects, 6,548,784 were eligible for the analysis (2418 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus [T1DM] and 506,208 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus [T2DM]). RESULTS The mean follow-up duration (in years) was 7.0 ± 1.3 for subjects without diabetes, 6.4 ± 2.0 for those with T1DM, and 6.7 ± 1.7 for T2DM. Patients with T1DM had a higher incidence rate for all types of fractures per 1000 person-years. The fully adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for any fracture, vertebral fracture, and hip fracture were higher in T1DM than in T2DM (1.37 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.23-1.52] for any fracture, 1.33 [95% CI: 1.09-1.63] for vertebral fracture, and 1.99 [95% CI: 1.56-2.53] for hip fracture). CONCLUSIONS In this large-scale population analysis, diabetes was associated with a higher risk of all types of fractures. Patients with T1DM had a higher risk of fracture than those with T2DM for all measurement sites, and hip fractures had the highest risk. Therefore, fracture prevention training for patients with diabetes is advisable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with an increased risk of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs), but the association between DM and GEP-NET survival is unknown. We evaluated disease characteristics and survival in individuals with DM and GEP-NETs. METHODS Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry linked to Medicare (SEER-Medicare) claims database, we examined sociodemographics, GEP-NET characteristics, and treatment in patients with and without DM before GEP-NET diagnosis. We compared survival using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS We identified 1858 individuals with GEP-NETs: 478 (25.7%) with DM and 1380 (74.3%) without. Significant differences in race (P = 0.002) were found between the DM and non-DM groups. Compared with individuals without DM, those with DM had more gastric (9.7% vs 14.9%), duodenal (6.5% vs 10.0%), and pancreatic (17.0% vs 21.8%), and less jejunal/ileal (18.1% vs 12.8%) NETs (P < 0.0001). Patients with DM had earlier stages (stage I, 37.0%; stage IV, 30.8%) than those without (stage I, 30.6%; stage IV, 36.4%; P = 0.0012). We found no difference in survival (multivariate hazard ratio, 0.97; 95% confidence interval, 0.76-1.23) between groups. CONCLUSIONS Among patients with and without DM before GEP-NET diagnosis, we found differences in tumor location and stage, but not survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) are heterogeneous neoplasms. Although some have a relatively benign and indolent natural history, others can be aggressive and ultimately fatal. Somatostatin analogues (SSAs) improve both quality of life and survival for these patients once they develop metastatic disease. However, these drugs are costly and their cost-effectiveness is not known. METHODS A decision-analytic model was developed and analyzed to compare two treatment strategies for patients with Stage IV GEP-NETs. The first strategy had all patients start SSA immediately while the second strategy waited, reserving SSA initiation until the patient showed signs of progression. Sensitivity analysis was performed to explore model parameter uncertainty. RESULTS Our model of patients age 60 with metastatic GEP-NETs suggests empiric initiation of SSA led to an increase 0.62 unadjusted life-years and incremental increase in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) of 0.44. The incremental costs were $388,966 per QALY and not cost-effective at a willingness-to-pay threshold of $100,000. Death was attributed to GEP-NETs for 94.1% of patients in the SSA arm vs. 94.9% of patients in the DELAY SSA arm. Sensitivity analysis found that the model was most sensitive to costs of SSAs. Using probabilistic sensitivity analysis, the SSA strategy was only cost-effective 1.4% of the time at a WTP threshold of $100,000 per QALY. CONCLUSIONS Our modeling study finds it is not cost-effective to initiate SSAs at time of presentation for patients with metastatic GEP-NETs. Further clinical studies are needed to identify the optimal timing to initiate these drugs.

Abstract
Jogaejeot, seasoned Venerupis philippinarum, is a traditional Korean fermented food, and hepatitis A virus (HAV) can be transmitted through contaminated food, especially bivalve shellfish, causing acute gastroenteritis worldwide. Here, we carried out a phylogenetic analysis to identify and characterize HAV strains in jogaejeot samples associated with hepatitis A (HA) outbreaks in Seoul, South Korea, in 2019. The HAV strains were identified using blast and molecular analysis of the amplified HAV VP1-P2B genome region. The HAV strains identified in the five jogaejeot samples shared at least 99% sequence identity, were all classified as genotype IA and were most closely related to strains that are widespread in East Asia. These results support a link between the consumption of jogaejeot and the HA outbreaks observed in 2019 in Seoul. In addition, they indicate a need for more stringent enforcement of food safety regulations for the shellfish industry, especially against HAV, and the value of widespread vaccination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) are increasingly common malignancies and tend to have favorable long-term prognoses. Somatostatin analogues (SSA) are a first-line treatment for many NETs. Short-term experiments suggest an association between SSAs and hyperglycemia. However, it is unknown whether there is a relationship between SSAs and clinically significant hyperglycemia causing development of diabetes mellitus (DM), a chronic condition with significant morbidity and mortality. AIM In this study, we aimed to compare risk of developing DM in patients treated with SSA vs no SSA treatment. METHODS AND RESULTS Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and linked Medicare claims (1991-2016), we identified patients age 65+ with no prior DM diagnosis and a GEP-NET in the stomach, small intestine, appendix, colon, rectum, or pancreas. We used χ2 tests to compare SSA-treated and SSA-untreated patients and multivariable Cox regression to assess risk factors for developing DM. Among 8464 GEP-NET patients, 5235 patients had no prior DM and were included for analysis. Of these, 784 (15%) patients received SSAs. In multivariable analysis, the hazard ratio of developing DM with SSA treatment was 1.19, which was not statistically significant (95% CI 0.95-1.49). Significant risk factors for DM included black race, Hispanic ethnicity, prior pancreatic surgery, prior chemotherapy, tumor size >2 cm, pancreas tumors, and higher Charlson scores. CONCLUSION DM was very common in GEP-NET patients, affecting 53% of our cohort. Despite prior studies suggesting an association between SSAs and hyperglycemia, our analysis found similar risk of DM in SSA-treated and SSA-untreated GEP-NET patients. Further studies are needed to better understand this relationship. As NET patients have increasingly prolonged survival, it is crucial to identify chronic conditions such as DM that these patients may be at elevated risk for.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the Food and Drug Administration Emergency Use Authorization (FDA-EUA) authorized point-of-care tests (POCTs) for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases for articles published till August 10, 2020. We included studies providing information regarding diagnostic test accuracy of FDA-EUA POCTs for SARS-CoV-2 detection. The methodologic quality was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tool. The review protocol is registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (protocol number CRD42020202248). RESULTS We included 26 studies describing a total of 3242 samples. The summary sensitivity and specificity were 0.94 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.88-0.97] and 1.00 (95% CI: 0.99-1.00), respectively. The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 1.00 (95% CI: 0.99-1.00). A pooled analysis based on the index test revealed a summary sensitivity and specificity of Cepheid Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2 [0.99 (95% CI: 0.97-1.00) and 0.99 (95% CI: 0.94-1.00, respectively)] and ID NOW COVID-19 [0.78 (95% CI: 0.74-0.82) and 1.00 (95% CI: 0.98-1.00), respectively]. CONCLUSIONS FDA-EUA POCTs, especially molecular assays, have high sensitivity, specificity, and overall diagnostic accuracy for detecting SARS-CoV-2. If approved, FDA-EUA POCTs can provide a rapid and practical way to identify infected individuals early on and help to limit the strain on the healthcare system. However, more high-quality clinical data are required to support our results.

Abstract
Background: The incidence and prevalence of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) is increasing globally and has been associated with diabetes mellitus (DM). In this study we aimed to compare tumor characteristics, disease-specific survival (DSS) and overall survival (OS) of GEP-NET patients (pts) with and without DM. Methods: Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry (SEER) linked to Medicare claims, we identified pts diagnosed with GEP-NET between January 1995 and December 2010, aged ≥65 years at the time of GEP-NET diagnosis. We included patients who were in exclusive Medicare coverage without healthcare management organizations and had Medicare Parts A and B coverage for ≥1year after GEP-NET diagnosis or until death. Within the pts with GEP-NET diagnosis, we identified those without a diagnosis of DM prior to the GEP-NET diagnosis. We compared baseline sociodemographics, co-morbidities, and GEP-NET location, stage, grade and treatment between pts with and without DM using χ 2 analysis. Kaplan Meier (KM) curves were used to compare OS and DSS up to 10 years between the DM and non-DM groups. We used Cox proportional hazards analysis to compare the DSS between the groups, adjusting for confounding variables. Results: We identified a cohort of 1,969 well-characterized GEP-NET patients with accurate tumor stage, grade, comorbidities, and treatment data. 478 (25.7%) had DM and 1,383 (74.3%) did not have DM. There were no statistically significant differences in gender or age at the time of GEP-NET diagnosis in the DM (mean age 74.7±SD 6.6 yrs) and non-DM (74.9±7.4 yrs) groups. Significant differences in race were found in the DM (80.6% white, 13.6% black, 1.3% hispanic) and non-DM (86.8% white, 8.2% black, 1.8% Hispanic) groups (p=0.002). Patients with DM had more gastric (14.7%), duodenal (10.9%) and pancreatic (21.0%), and less jejunal/ ileal (12.8%) NETs compared with the non-DM group (9.7%, 6.4%, 16.9%, 18.2%, respectively, p<0.0001). Patients with DM had earlier stage disease than those without DM (p=0.0012), but no difference in tumor grade or treatment was found. KM curves revealed no differences in OS and DSS in the GEP-NET patients with and without DM across all stages. Multivariate adjusted Cox proportional-hazards model found no significant difference in DSS between those with and without DM (HR=0.97, 95%CI: 0.76–1.24). Compared with pts with pancreatic NETs, pts with colon (HR=1.39, 95%CI: 1.04–1.86) had worse survival, while those with jejunal/ileal (HR = 0.59, 95%CI: 0.42–0.83) NETs had a better survival. Discussion: This is the first study to investigate the effect of DM on survival of pts GEP-NETs. We found a high prevalence of pre-existing DM in pts with GEP-NETs, but no difference in OS or DSS in pts with and without DM. Interestingly, pts with DM had more foregut GEP-NETs which may suggest mechanistic links between DM and GEP-NETs at these sites.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Aortic stenosis (AS) induces significant pressure overload to the left ventricle (LV) and its burden may increase if there is concomitant LV systolic dysfunction. Severe AS with LV systolic dysfunction is a class I indication for aortic valve replacement (AVR) irrespective of symptoms, however, this recommendation is not well established in those with moderate AS and LV systolic dysfunction. In this study, we sought to investigate the clinical impact of surgical AVR among patients with moderate AS and LV systolic dysfunction.
Methods
From 2001 to 2017, we retrospectively but consecutively identified patients with moderate AS and LV systolic dysfunction from a single tertiary hospital. Moderate AS was defined as aortic valve area between 1.0 and 1.5cm2 and LV systolic dysfunction as LV ejection fraction less than 50%. The primary outcome was all-cause death and we additionally analyzed cardiac death as a secondary endpoint. The outcomes were compared between those who underwent early surgical AVR at the stage of moderate AS versus those who were followed without AVR at the outpatient clinic.
Results
Among a total of 257 patients with moderate AS and concomitant LV systolic dysfunction (70.0 ± 11.3 years, 63.4% of male), 34 patients received early AVR. Patients in the AVR group was younger than the observation group (64.2 ± 8.1 vs. 70.9 ± 11.5, respectively), and had a lower prevalence of hypertension and chronic kidney disease. During a mean of 3-year follow up, 112 patients (47.5%) died and the overall death rate was 15.367 per 100 person-year (PY). The AVR group showed a significantly lower rate of all-cause death than the observation group (5.241PY vs. 18.160PY, p-value = 0.002). After multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression adjusting for age, sex, comorbidities and laboratory data, early AVR at the stage of moderate AS significantly reduced the risk of all-cause death (hazard ratio [HR] 0.340, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.117 - 0.985, p-value = 0.047). However, there was no risk reduction of cardiac death (HR 0.578 95% CI 0.150 - 2.231, p-value = 0.426).
Conclusions
In patients with moderate AS and LV systolic dysfunction, AVR reduces the risk of all-cause death. A prospective design study is warranted to confirm our findings in the near future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) before surgery for pancreatic cancer has been associated with infectious complications after surgery. Little is known about the effects of preoperative ERCP on the survival of patients with pancreatic cancer. We investigated whether ERCP before surgery affects overall survival, after controlling for confounding factors. METHODS We used Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) and linked Medicare claims data to identify patients older than 65 years with cancer localized to the head of the pancreas, from 2000 through 2011. We used inverse propensity-weighted Cox proportional hazard models to assess the effects of ERCP on the survival of patients who underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer. RESULTS Among 16,670 patients with cancer of the head of the pancreas, 2890 (17.3%) underwent surgical resection; 1864 (64.5%) of these patients received preoperative ERCP. After we adjusted for confounders, we found that patients who received preoperative ERCP did not have an increased risk of death compared with patients who underwent resection alone (hazard ratio, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.96-1.08). CONCLUSIONS Patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent ERCP before surgery did not have an increased risk of death compared with patients who proceeded directly to surgery. Studies are needed to identify subsets of patients who may benefit from this procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the recommended technique for biliary decompression in pancreatic cancer. Previous studies have suggested racial, socioeconomic and geographic differences in diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of pancreatic cancer patients.
AIM To examine geographic, racial, socioeconomic and clinical factors associated with utilization of ERCP.
METHODS Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results and linked Medicare claims data were used to identify pancreatic cancer patients between 2000-2011. Claims data were used to identify patients who had ERCP and other treatments. The primary outcome was receipt of ERCP. Chi-squared analyses were used to compare demographic information. Trends in use of ERCP over time were assessed using Cochran Armitage test. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for receipt ERCP were calculated using logistic regression, controlling for other characteristics.
RESULTS Among 32510 pancreatic cancer patients, 14704 (45.2%) underwent ERCP. Patients who had cancer located in the head of the pancreas (aOR 3.27, 95%CI: 2.99-3.57), had jaundice (aOR 7.59, 95%CI: 7.06-8.17), cholangitis (aOR 4.22, 95%CI: 3.71-4.81) or pruritus (aOR 1.42, 95%CI: 1.22-1.66) and lived in lower education zip codes (aOR 1.14, 95%CI: 1.04-1.24) were more likely to receive ERCP. In contrast, patients who were older (aOR 0.88, 95%CI: 0.83, 0.94), not married (aOR 0.92, 95%CI: 0.86, 0.98), and lived in a non-metropolitan area (aOR 0.89, 95%CI: 0.82, 0.98) were less likely to receive ERCP. Compared to white patients, non-white/non-black patients (aOR 0.83, 95%CI: 0.70-0.97) were less likely to receive ERCP. Patients diagnosed later in the study period were less likely to receive ERCP (aOR 2004-2007 0.85, 95%CI: 0.78-0.92; aOR 2008-2011 0.76, 95%CI: 0.70-0.83). After stratifying by indications for ERCP including jaundice, racial differences persisted (aOR black patients 0.80, 95%CI: 0.67-0.95, nonwhite/nonblack patients 0.73, 95%CI: 0.58-0.91). Among patients with jaundice, those who underwent surgery were less likely to undergo ERCP (aOR 0.60, 95%CI: 0.52, 0.69).
CONCLUSION ERCP utilization in pancreatic cancer varies based on patient age, marital status, and factors related to where the patient lives. Further studies are needed to guide appropriate biliary intervention for these patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Adjuvant endocrine therapy is an integral compo-nent of care for endocrine-dependent breast cancer.
To date, international consensus statements recommend tamoxifen (20 mg/day) for five years as the standard adjuvant endocrine therapy for premenopausal women. Tamoxifen is a potent inducer of ovarian function and consequent hyper-estrogenism in premenopausal women. However, the incidence rate and risk factors associated this phenomenone were not clarified.
Methods
Among consecutive patients who were operated under diagnosis of breast cancer from March 2012 to December 2016 in Chung-Ang university hospital, patients who received post-operative tamoxifen therapy for endocrine-dependent breast cancer (stage 0-III) at age under 60 were selected and retrospectively analysed. Serial data on serum estradiol and follicular stimulating hormone(FSH) were collected. When the serum concentration of estradiol was higher than 400 pg/mL, which exceeds the normal estradiol production by a single preovulatory follicle, we classified them as tamoxifen induced ovarian hyperstimulation group. Clinicopathologic factors were analyzed between ovarian hyperstimulation group and non-hyperstimulation group by x2 and student t-test.
Results
Among 205 patients, 19 patients(9.3%) showed high values of serum estradiol during tamoxifen therapy. They showed 44 times of high estradiol level during follow up period. The serum concentrations of estradiol and FSH were 1047.97638.8pg/mL and 11.57.3 mIu/mL, respectively. The mean duration from the start of the single administration of tamoxifen to the initial detection of a high concentration of estradiol was 666.4+433.1 days.
Univariate and multivariate analysis between ovarian hyperstimulation and non-hyperstimulation groups showed younger age(<40years) and only endocrine therapy without chemotherapy were related to higher prevalence of ovarian hyperstimulation significantly. (p <0.001, =0.031 each) Pathologic stages and progesterone receptor expressions on breast tumor were not related to manifestation of ovarian hyperstimulation.
Conclusions
The Incidence rate and occurrence time of ovarian hyperstimulation associated with adjuvant tamoxifen treatment in breast cancer patients under age 60 were 9.3% and around 2-year after treatment with tamoxifen. Young age under 40 years old and endocrine treatment without chemotherapy were risk factors predicting occurrence of ovarian hyperstimulation during tamoxifen treatment. It should be noted that tamoxifen is a potent inducer of ovarian function and close monitoring of the endocrine parameters during treatment with tamoxifen would be essential.

Abstract
PURPOSE Several meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reported no association between the use of statins and the risk of cancer. However, they included open-label RCTs, which did not use placebo as a control group. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of statins on cancer risk using a meta-analysis of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials (RDBPCTs). METHODS We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library in March 2016. Two individual authors reviewed and selected RDBPCTs based on selection criteria. RESULTS Out of 676 retrieved articles, a total of 21 RDBPCTs with 65,196 participants (32,618 in the statin group and 32,578 in the placebo group) were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, we found that there was no significant association between the use of statins and the risk of cancer (relative risk 0.97, 95% confidence interval 0.92-1.02, I2 = 0.0%) in a fixed-effect meta-analysis. In addition, in the subgroup meta-analyses, no beneficial effect of statins was observed when analyzed by statin type, country, follow-up period, methodological quality, underlying diseases/population, and type of cancer. CONCLUSIONS The current meta-analysis of RDBPCTs found that there was no association between the use of statins and the risk of cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is the standard of care for tissue sampling of solid lesions adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract. Fine-needle biopsy (FNB) may provide higher diagnostic yield with fewer needle passes. The aim of this study was to assess the difference in diagnostic yield between FNA and FNB. METHODS This is a multicenter, prospective randomized clinical trial from 6 large tertiary care centers. Patients referred for tissue sampling of solid lesions were randomized to either FNA or FNB of the target lesion. Demographics, size, location, number of needle passes, and final diagnosis were recorded. RESULTS After enrollment, 135 patients were randomized to FNA (49.3%), and 139 patients were randomized to FNB (50.7%).The following lesions were sampled: mass (n = 210, 76.6%), lymph nodes (n = 46, 16.8%), and submucosal tumors (n = 18, 6.6%). Final diagnosis was malignancy (n = 192, 70.1%), reactive lymphadenopathy (n = 30, 11.0%), and spindle cell tumors (n = 24, 8.8%). FNA had a diagnostic yield of 91.1% compared with 88.5% for FNB (P = .48). There was no difference between FNA and FNB when stratified by the presence of on-site cytopathology or by type of lesion sampled. A median of 1 needle pass was needed to obtain a diagnostic sample for both needles. CONCLUSIONS FNA and FNB obtained a similar diagnostic yield with a comparable number of needle passes. On the basis of these results, there is no significant difference in the performance of FNA compared with FNB in the cytologic diagnosis of solid lesions adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
We introduce and validate a new precision oncology framework for the systematic prioritization of drugs targeting mechanistic tumor dependencies in individual patients. Compounds are prioritized on the basis of their ability to invert the concerted activity of master regulator proteins that mechanistically regulate tumor cell state, as assessed from systematic drug perturbation assays. We validated the approach on a cohort of 212 gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs), a rare malignancy originating in the pancreas and gastrointestinal tract. The analysis identified several master regulator proteins, including key regulators of neuroendocrine lineage progenitor state and immunoevasion, whose role as critical tumor dependencies was experimentally confirmed. Transcriptome analysis of GEP-NET-derived cells, perturbed with a library of 107 compounds, identified the HDAC class I inhibitor entinostat as a potent inhibitor of master regulator activity for 42% of metastatic GEP-NET patients, abrogating tumor growth in vivo. This approach may thus complement current efforts in precision oncology.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Emerging evidence has indicated that breast cancer patients with a low axillary burden do not benefit from sentinel lymph node biopsy. Thus, to specifically identify more than 3 nodes-positive patients who can proceed directly to axillary lymph node(ALN) dissection, and avoid unnecessary surgical procedures, accurate preoperative detection by radiologic assessment would be anticipated. In this study, we evaluated the usefulness of ALN to primary breast tumor SUV ratio (determined by 18F-FDG PET/CT) and MRI for predicting the need for ALN dissection in breast cancer surgery.
Method: Three hundred sixteen consecutive female patients with primary breast cancer were enrolled in this retrospective study between January 2012 and December 2016. All patients underwent preoperative 18F-FDG PET/CT, MRI, and surgical resection without neoadjuvant chemotherapy.The ALN to primary breast tumor SUV ratios(LN/T ratios) were calculated, and optimal cutoff values were determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis for predicting the presence of ≥3 ALN metastasis. The diagnostic performances of 18F-FDG PET/CTLN/T ratio and MRI for the prediction of ≥3 ALN metastasis were determined by sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio(DOR). Subgroup analysis of those for FDG avid cancers were performed.
Result: Of the 316 patients, 36(11.4%) showed involvement of ≥3 ALNs, and 101(32%) had one or more metastatic lymph nodes. The mean SUV of the primary tumor in the 316 patients was 3.9, ranging from 0 to 26.6, while the mean SUV of the ALN was 0.81, ranging from 0 to 21.9. Axillary 18F-FDG uptake was positive in 75(23.7%) patients and optimal criteria of LN/T ratio for detecting the needs for ALN dissection was 0.3 determined by ROC analysis.MRI showed findings of suspicious ALN involvement in 147(46.6%) patients. The sensitivity and specificity of MRI were 0.89 and 0.56, while those of PET/CTLN/T ratio were 0.69 and 0.87. In the receiver operating characteristic(ROC) analysis, the area under the curve(AUC) for MRI and PET/CTLN/T ratio was 0.756 (0.682-0.829, 95% confidence interval), and 0.817(0.733-0.900, 95% confidence interval). Further analysis of the DOR for MRI showed a value of 10.37 and for PET/CTLN/T ratio the DOR was 9.7. But, in a subgroup of patients with FDG-avid primary tumor(FDG above 3.9, n=108), the area under the curve was improved to 0.896 (0.817-0.975, 95% confidence interval) for PET/CTLN/T ratio, while those of MRI was worsened. (0.681, 0.569- 0.793., 95% CI) DOR value of PET/CTLN/T ratio for FDG avid cancers was 25.68 and their sensitivity and specificity were 0.83 and 0.84 each.
Conclusion: In FDG avid primary breast cancer, PET/CTLN/T ratio could predict need for ALN dissection with higher accuracy than MRI. PET/CT has high potential for being used as a non-invasive imaging diagnostic technique identifying ≥3 ALNs metastases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although a possible mechanism for developing type 2 diabetes in relation to calcium intake has been suggested, there is currently little epidemiological evidence on the association between dietary calcium and type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study aimed to evaluate the prospective association between dietary calcium and T2D incidence among adults 40 years of age or over, from the Multi-rural Communities Cohort (MRCohort), South Korea. METHODS AND RESULTS In total, 8313 participants (3033 men and 5280 women) who did not have diabetes at baseline were recruited between 2005 and 2013. The incidence rate ratio (IRR) was estimated using a modified Poisson regression model with a robust error estimator. During follow-up (31,570 person-years), 322 T2D cases were newly diagnosed. Dietary calcium (total and vegetable calcium) were inversely associated with the risk of T2D incidence among women (IRR = 0.61, 95% CI = 0.43-0.86, P for trend = 0.007 in third tertile of baseline total calcium intake comparing to the first tertile; IRR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.39-0.84, P for trend = 0.006 for baseline vegetable calcium intake), not for men. The tendency of those inverse associations remained in both the normal fasting blood glucose group and the impaired fasting blood glucose group and were independent of obesity, smoking, and magnesium intake. CONCLUSIONS Total and vegetable calcium may be inversely associated with T2D incidence among women, regardless of impaired fasting blood glucose group or normal group. The associations may be potentially dose-responsive. Moderate dietary calcium may be related to lower risk of T2D incidence comparing to low intake group among women.

Abstract
The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) is described by the change in temperature of a material by magnetic field variation and is a crucial subject in magnetism; it is motivated by the desire to enhance energy-efficient magnetic refrigeration for clean technology. Despite the recent discovery of the giant cryogenic MCE in double perovskites, the role of magnetic anisotropy has not yet been clearly discussed, because of the averaging effect of polycrystalline samples. Here, we investigated the anisotropic MCE in the single-crystal double perovskite Gd2CoMnO6. In addition to the ferromagnetic order of the Co2+ and Mn4+ moments, the large Gd3+ moments align below T Gd = 21 K, exhibiting an isotropic nature. Because of the intricate temperature development of magnetically hysteretic behaviour and metamagnetism, the change in magnetic entropy along the c-axis appears to be relatively small. On the contrary, the smaller but almost reversible magnetization perpendicular to the c-axis leads to a large MCE with a maximum entropy change of 25.4 J/kg·K. The anisotropic MCE generates a giant rotational MCE, estimated as 16.6 J/kg·K. Our results demonstrate the importance of magnetic anisotropy for understanding the MCE and reveal essential clues for exploring suitable magnetic refrigerant compounds aiming at magnetic functional applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Low-grade inflammation, represented by minor C-reactive protein (CRP) elevation, has a critical role in the early stages of atherosclerosis, and pantothenic acid (PA) may have an antioxidant effect in inflammatory process. However, the long-term relationship between PA intake and CRP has not yet been studied. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the long-term relationship of PA intake to CRP concentration in healthy adults aged 40 years or older living in a rural area of South Korea. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 908 subjects (349 men, 559 women) with repeated data on dietary PA intake and CRP concentration were included in the final analysis. To represent the long-term effect of PA intake, both PA intake at the baseline and average PA intake were used as the exposure, and CRP concentration at the third visit and its change from the baseline to the third visit were used as the outcome. After adjustment for potential confounders, a significant inverse relationship between PA intake and CRP concentration at the third visit was observed (P for trend = 0.001, β = -0.07 (P-value = 0.001) for PA baseline; P for trend = <0.0001, β = -0.11 (P-value = 0.0004) for PA average (baseline, 2nd, 3rd)). Higher PA intake was significantly related to lower or attenuated increase in CRP concentration (P for trend = 0.002, β = -0.24 (P-value = 0.002) for PA baseline; P for trend = 0.001, β = -0.35 (P-value = 0.001) for PA average (baseline, 2nd, 3rd)). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, dietary PA intake was inversely related to subsequent CRP concentration in both men and women aged 40 years or older in South Korea.

Abstract
Small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNETs) have been increasing in frequency over the past decades, and are now the most common type of small bowel tumor. Consequently, general surgeons and surgical oncologists are seeing more patients with SBNETs in their practices than ever before. The management of these patients is often complex, owing to their secretion of hormones, frequent presentation with advanced disease, and difficulties with making the diagnosis of SBNETs. Despite these issues, even patients with advanced disease can have long-term survival. There are a number of scenarios which commonly arise in SBNET patients where it is difficult to determine the optimal management from the published data. To address these challenges for clinicians, a consensus conference was held assembling experts in the field to review and discuss the available literature and patterns of practice pertaining to specific management issues. This paper summarizes the important elements from these studies and the recommendations of the group for these questions regarding the management of SBNET patients.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Excessive amount of calcium intake increased risk for metabolic syndrome in men. However, modest amount decreased the risk of metabolic syndrome and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Modest amount of calcium also increased bone mineral density (BMD) in both men and postmenopausal women. INTRODUCTION The present study aimed to evaluate the associations of dietary calcium intake with metabolic syndrome and bone mineral density (BMD) in Korean men and women, especially postmenopausal women. METHODS The study was performed using data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2008-2011) and included 14,705 participants (5953 men, 4258 premenopausal women, and 4494 postmenopausal women). Clinical and other objective characteristics, presence of metabolic syndrome, and the BMD of the femur neck and lumbar spine were evaluated according to dietary calcium intake. RESULTS There was a higher tendency for metabolic syndrome in men with a dietary calcium intake of >1200 mg/day than with ≤400 mg of calcium intake; >400 and ≤800 mg of calcium intake was helpful for postmenopausal women to decrease risk for metabolic syndrome. Overall, the group with calcium intake >400 and ≤800 mg daily had significantly increased BMD in both femoral neck and lumbar spine from both men and postmenopausal women. From both femoral neck and lumbar spine, the prevalence of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women significantly decreased in the group whose calcium intake was >400 and ≤800 mg daily. CONCLUSION Excessive dietary calcium may increase the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in men. For postmenopausal women, calcium intake does not increase the risk of metabolic syndrome, but modest amount decreases the risk. It may increase the BMD in men and postmenopausal women, and also reduce the prevalence of both osteoporosis and metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The identification of prognostic factors for hormone receptor(HR)-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-negative breast cancer is an important issue for the accurate determination of the indications for chemotherapy. The progesterone receptor(PgR) is a downstream molecule induced by transcriptional activation of estrogen signaling. In recent report, quantitatively low PgR expression was significantly associated with a poorer prognosis for patients treated with anastrozole and/or tamoxifen. These findings seem to suggest that the clinically used Ki-67-based IHC classification of luminal subtypes is inaccurate and that semiquantitative measurement of PgR expression can improve the IHC-based classification.
Method: 1327 consecutive patients with ER and/or PgR-positive HER2-negative invasive breast cancer treated with surgery and adjuvant treatment at the Seoul National University Hospital from January 2009 to December 2011 were reviewed. All patients had been pathologically diagnosed with breast cancer, and patients who had received chemotherapy or endocrine therapy before surgery were included. ER, PgR, HER2, and Ki-67 were determined from surgically resected, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue. The RFS and OS in Kaplan-Meier plots for the PgR high and low expression groups was compared using the log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate analyses of DFS and OS in relation to various factors were performed with a Cox proportional hazards model, which yielded the HR and 95% of CI for each variable.
Results: Based on pathology data of semiquantitative measurement of the percentage of PgR-positive cells, patients were separated into two groups with PgR percentage cutoff 20%. Among 1372 patients, 665(48.5%) showed high PgR expression, 707(51.5%) showed low PgR expression. PgR expression was relatively high in younger age(<50 years, p<0.001). Higher PgR expression was related to low Ki-67 expression(<10%, p=0.003), and low cancer stage(p<0.001). The DFS and OS of patients in the high PgR subset were significantly better than the low PgR subset only in patients under 50years old.(p=0.005 and 0.037) Cox analysis showed that low PgR expression(HR, 3.06; 95% CI, 1.44-6.47) and negative ER expression(HR, 19.68; 95% CI, 5.89-65.80) were significant independent risk factors for DFS. Low PgR expression(HR, 5.66; 95% CI 1.62-19.74) and high Ki-67 expression(HR 1.06; 95% CI 1.01-1.17) were significant independent risk factors for OS.
Conclusion: We were able to demonstrate that high PgR expression is associated with a better prognosis for luminal type breast cancer. The semiquantitative determination of PgR expression might thus improve the accuracy of the IHC-based classification of luminal A and luminal B breast cancer, especially for premenopausal patients.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is a deadly disease characterized by primary and acquired resistance to chemotherapy. We previously associated NF-κB signaling with poor survival in ovarian cancer, and functionally demonstrated this pathway as mediating proliferation, invasion and metastasis. We aimed to identify cooperating pathways in NF-κB-dependent ovarian cancer cells, using genome-wide RNA interference as a loss-of-function screen for key regulators of cell survival with IKKβ inhibition. Functional genomic screen for interactions with NF-κB in ovarian cancer showed that cells depleted of Caspase8 died better with IKKβ inhibition. Overall, low Caspase8 was associated with shorter overall survival in three independent gene expression data sets of ovarian cancers. Conversely, Caspase8 expression was markedly highest in ovarian cancer subtypes characterized by strong T-cell infiltration and better overall prognosis, suggesting that Caspase8 expression increased chemotherapy-induced cell death. We investigated the effects of Caspase8 depletion on apoptosis and necroptosis of TNFα-stimulated ovarian cancer cell lines. Inhibition of NF-κB in ovarian cancer cells switched the effects of TNFα signaling from proliferation to death. Although Caspase8-high cancer cells died by apoptosis, Caspase8 depletion downregulated NF-κB signaling, stabilized RIPK1 and promoted necroptotic cell death. Blockage of NF-κB signaling and depletion of cIAP with SMAC-mimetic further rendered these cells susceptible to killing by necroptosis. These findings have implications for anticancer strategies to improve outcome for women with low Caspase8-expressing ovarian cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to evaluate the causative organisms in young male soldiers with clinical signs and symptoms after sexual contact that suggests a diagnosis of urethritis. METHODS Between June 2012 and January 2015, male patients with urethritis symptoms that had resulted from sexual contact within 3 months participated in this study. All patients were evaluated using urinalysis and were screened for Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU), Mycoplasma genitalium (MG), Mycoplasma hominis (MH), herpes simplex virus (HSV) type II and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) using multiplex PCR (mPCR) assay in order to detect sexually transmitted infections (STI) or pathogens. RESULTS A total of 436 male patients aged 18-28 years were included in the study. The median age was 22.0 years. The prevalence of STI pathogens were as follows: NG in 19.0%, CT in 36.6%, UU in 24.0%, MG in 21.5%, MH in 6.1%, HSV type II in 1.6%, TV in 0.2% and indeterminate STI pathogens in 9.4%. Coinfection of NG with non-NG was detected in 5.7% of the participants, while the coinfection rates for STI pathogens were: with CT in 3.4%, with UU in 2.7%, with MG in 0.2% and with MH in 0.2%. CONCLUSIONS CT was the most prevalent STI pathogen and coinfections of NG with non-NG appeared less frequently. The young male soldiers with urethritis should be administered suitable antibiotics for STI pathogens that were found by mPCR results, rather than an experimental combination of antibiotics for coinfections.

Abstract
We have successfully synthesized the series of the double-perovskite R2CoMnO6 (R = rare earth: La to Lu) single crystals and have investigated their magnetic properties. The ferromagnetic order of Co(2+)/Mn(4+) spins emerges mainly along the c axis. Upon decreasing the size of rare earth ion, the magnetic transition temperature decreases linearly from 204 K for La2CoMnO6 to 48 K for Lu2CoMnO6, along with the enhancement of monoclinic distortion. The temperature and magnetic-field dependences of magnetization reveal the various magnetic characteristics such as the metamagnetic transition in R = Eu, the isotropic nature of rare earth moment in R = Gd, and the reversal of magnetic anisotropy in R = Tb and Dy. Our results offer comprehensive information for understanding the roles of mixed-valent magnetic ions and rare earth magnetic moments on the magnetic properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The standard sunitinib schedule, 4 weeks on, followed by 2 weeks off (4/2 schedule), is associated with troublesome toxicities, and maintenance of adequate sunitinib dosing and drug levels, which are essential for achieving an optimal treatment outcome, is challenging. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of an alternative sunitinib dosing schedule of 2 weeks on and 1 week off (2/1 schedule) compared with the standard sunitinib schedule of 4 weeks on and 2 weeks off (4/2 schedule). PATIENTS AND METHODS In this multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase II trial, treatment-naïve patients with clear-cell type metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) were randomly assigned to 4/2 or 2/1 schedules after stratification by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center risk group and the presence or absence of measurable lesions. The primary end point was the 6-month failure-free survival (FFS) rate, determined by intention-to-treat analysis. RESULTS From November 2007 to February 2014, 76 patients were accrued, and 74 were eligible. FFS rates at 6 months were 44% with the 4/2 schedule (N = 36) and 63% with the 2/1 schedule (N = 38). Neutropenia (all grades, 61% versus 37%; grade 3-4, 28% versus 11%) and fatigue (all grades, 83% versus 58%) were more frequently observed with schedule 4/2. There was a strong tendency toward a lower incidence of stomatitis, hand-foot syndrome, and rash with schedule 2/1. Objective response rates (ORRs) were 47% in schedule 2/1 and 36% in schedule 4/2. With a median follow-up of 30.0 months, the median time to progression (TTP) was 12.1 months in schedule 2/1 and 10.1 months in schedule 4/2. CONCLUSION Sunitinib administered with a 2/1 schedule is associated with less toxicity and higher FFS at 6 months than a 4/2 schedule, without compromising the efficacy in terms of ORR and TTP (NCT00570882).

Abstract
This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of palm kernel expellers on productive performance, nutrient digestibility, and changes in white blood cells (WBC) of lactating sows. A total of 14 sows (200±12 kg of average body weight [BW]; 2.5 of average parity) were used and moved from gestation room to farrowing room on d 109 of gestation. Sows were randomly assigned to 2 dietary treatments in a completely randomized design. The treatments were a diet based on corn and soybean meal (CON) and CON added with 20% of palm kernel expellers (PKE). Sows were fed the treatments for 28 days (weaning) after farrowing. Blood was collected from each sow and 4 randomly selected piglets from each sow before farrowing or on d 3, 7, or 14 of lactation. Sows were fed respective treatments containing 0.2% chromic oxide from d 15 to 21 of lactation. Fecal samples were collected daily for the last 3 days after the 4-d adjustment period. Measurements were performances and WBC changes of sows and litter, nutrient digestibility of sows, and daily diarrhea of litter. Sows fed PKE had greater average daily feed intake (7.38 vs 7.10 kg/d; p<0.05) and lost less BW (−6.85 vs −8.54 kg; p<0.05) and backfat depth (−0.42 vs −0.71 mm; p<0.05) than those fed CON. However, there were no differences on digestibility of dry matter, nitrogen, and energy and weaning to estrus interval of sows fed either CON or PKE. Piglets from sows fed PKE gained more BW (203 vs 181 g/d; p = 0.08) and had less frequency of diarrhea (6.80 vs 8.56%; p = 0.07) than those from sows fed CON. On the other hand, no difference was found on preweaning mortality of piglets from sows fed either CON or PKE. Sows fed PKE had lower number of WBC (9.57 vs 11.82 ×103/μL; p = 0.09) before farrowing than those fed CON, but no difference on d 3 and 7. Similarly, piglets from sows fed PKE had also lower number of WBC (7.86 vs 9.80 ×103/μL; p<0.05) on d 14 of lactation than those from sows fed CON, but no difference on d 3 and 7. In conclusion, addition of 20% palm kernel expellers to lactation diet based on corn and soybean meal had no negative effects on productive performance, nutrient digestibility, and WBC changes of lactating sows.

Abstract
This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of palm kernel expellers on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and blood profiles of weaned pigs. A total of 88 weaned pigs (6.94±0.76 kg body weight [BW]; 28 d old) were randomly allotted to 2 dietary treatments (4 pigs/pen; 11 replicates/treatment) in a randomized complete block design (sex as a block). The dietary treatments were a typical nursery diet based on corn and soybean meal (CON) and CON added with 20% of palm kernel expellers (PKE). Pigs were fed for 6 wk using a 3-phase feeding program with declining diet complexity and with phases of 1, 2, and 3 wk, respectively. Blood was collected from randomly selected 2 pigs in each pen before weaning and on d 7 after weaning. Pigs were fed respective dietary treatments containing 0.2% chromic oxide from d 29 to 35 after weaning. Fecal samples were collected from randomly selected 2 pigs in each pen daily for the last 3 days after the 4-d adjustment period. Measurements were growth performances, digestibility of dry matter, nitrogen and energy, white and red blood cell counts, packed cell volume, and incidence of diarrhea. The PKE increased average daily gain (ADG) (246 vs 215 g/d; p = 0.06) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) (470 vs 343 g/d; p<0.05) and decreased gain-to-feed ratio (G:F) (0.522 vs 0.628 g/g; p<0.05) during phase 2 compared with CON, but did not affect growth performance during phase 1 and 3. During overall experimental period, PKE increased ADG (383 vs 362 g/d; p = 0.05) and ADFI (549 vs 496 g/d; p<0.05) compared with CON, but did not affect G:F. However, no differences were found on digestibility of dry matter, nitrogen, and energy between CON and PKE. The PKE reduced frequency of diarrhea (15% vs 25%; p = 0.08) for the first 2 wk after weaning compared with CON. Similarly, PKE decreased white blood cells (8.19 vs 9.56×10(3)/μL; p = 0.07), red blood cells (2.92 vs 3.25×10(6)/μL; p = 0.09), and packed cell volume (11.1% vs 12.6%; p = 0.06) on d 7 after weaning compared with CON. In conclusion, addition of 20% palm kernel expellers to nursery diet based on corn and soybean meal had no negative effects on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and blood profiles of weaned pigs.

Abstract
While prolonged sleep deprivation (SD) could lead to profound negative health consequences, such as impairments in vital biological functions of immunity and cognition, melatonin possesses powerful ameliorating effects against those harmful insults. Melatonin has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that help to restore body's immune and cognitive functions. In this study, we investigated the possible role of melatonin in reversing cognitive dysfunction induced by SD in rats. Our experimental results revealed that sleep-deprived animals exhibited spatial memory impairment in the Morris water maze tasks compared with the control groups. Furthermore, there was an increased glial activation most prominent in the hippocampal region of the SD group compared to the normal control (NC) group. Additionally, markers of oxidative stress such as 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-deoxyguanine (8-oxo-dG) were significantly increased, while fragile X-mental retardation protein (FMRP) expression was decreased in the SD group. Interestingly, melatonin treatment normalized these events to control levels following SD. Our data demonstrate that SD induces oxidative stress through glial activation and decreases FMRP expression in the neurons. Furthermore, our results suggest the efficacy of melatonin for the treatment of sleep-related neuronal dysfunction, which occurs in neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and autism.

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested potential roles of the microbiome in cervicovaginal diseases. However, there has been no report on the cervical microbiome in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). We aimed to identify the cervical microbiota of Korean women and assess the association between the cervical microbiota and CIN, and to determine the combined effect of the microbiota and human papillomavirus (HPV) on the risk of CIN. The cervical microbiota of 70 women with CIN and 50 control women was analysed using pyrosequencing based on the 16S rRNA gene. The associations between specific microbial patterns or abundance of specific microbiota and CIN risk were assessed using multivariate logistic regression, and the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) and the synergy index (S) were calculated. The phyla Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Tenericutes, Fusobacteria and TM7 were predominant in the microbiota and four distinct community types were observed in all women. A high score of the pattern characterized by predominance of Atopobium vaginae, Gardnerella vaginalis and Lactobacillus iners with a minority of Lactobacillus crispatus had a higher CIN risk (OR 5.80, 95% CI 1.73-19.4) and abundance of A. vaginae had a higher CIN risk (OR 6.63, 95% CI 1.61-27.2). The synergistic effect of a high score of this microbial pattern and oncogenic HPV was observed (OR 34.1, 95% CI 4.95-284.5; RERI/S, 15.9/1.93). A predominance of A. vaginae, G. vaginalis and L. iners with a concomitant paucity of L. crispatus in the cervical microbiota was associated with CIN risk, suggesting that bacterial dysbiosis and its combination with oncogenic HPV may be a risk factor for cervical neoplasia.

Abstract
The porcine cornea may be a good solution for the shortage of human donor corneas because its size and refractive properties are comparable to those of the human cornea. However, antigenic differences need to be overcome to apply xenocorneal transplantation in actual clinical practice. We aimed to investigate the feasibility of full-thickness porcine corneas as human corneal substitutes using a CD40-CD154 costimulatory pathway blocking strategy in a clinically applicable pig-to-nonhuman primate corneal transplantation model. As a result, the mean survival time of the xenocorneal grafts in recipients who received anti-CD154 antibody-based immunosuppressants (POD318 (n = 4); >933, >243, 318 and >192) was significantly longer than that in controls (POD28 (n = 3); 21, 28 and 29; p = 0.010, log-rank test). Administration of anti-CD154 antibodies markedly reduced inflammatory cellular infiltrations (predominantly CD8 T cells and macrophages) into the xenocorneal grafts and almost completely blocked xenoantigen-triggered increases in Th1-associated cytokines, chemokines and C3a in the aqueous humor. Moreover, systemic expansion of memory T cells was effectively controlled and responses of anti-Gal/donor pig-specific antibodies were considerably diminished by programmed injection of anti-CD154 antibodies. Consequently, porcine corneas might be promising human corneal substitutes when the transplantation is accompanied by potent immunosuppression such as a CD40-CD154 costimulatory pathway blockade.
