Abstract
BACKGROUND Erdafitinib is an oral pan-fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved to treat locally advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) in patients with susceptible FGFR3/2 alterations (FGFRalt) who progressed after platinum-containing chemotherapy. FGFR-altered tumours are enriched in luminal 1 subtype and may have limited clinical benefit from anti-programmed death-(ligand) 1 [PD-(L)1] treatment. This cohort in the randomized, open-label phase III THOR study assessed erdafitinib versus pembrolizumab in anti-PD-(L)1-naive patients with mUC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients ≥18 years with unresectable advanced/mUC, with select FGFRalt, disease progression on one prior treatment, and who were anti-PD-(L)1-naive were randomized 1 : 1 to receive erdafitinib 8 mg once daily with pharmacodynamically guided uptitration to 9 mg or pembrolizumab 200 mg every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and safety. RESULTS The intent-to-treat population (median follow-up 33 months) comprised 175 and 176 patients in the erdafitinib and pembrolizumab arms, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in OS between erdafitinib and pembrolizumab [median 10.9 versus 11.1 months, respectively; hazard ratio (HR) 1.18; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.92-1.51; P = 0.18]. Median PFS for erdafitinib and pembrolizumab was 4.4 and 2.7 months, respectively (HR 0.88; 95% CI 0.70-1.10). ORR was 40.0% and 21.6% (relative risk 1.85; 95% CI 1.32-2.59) and median duration of response was 4.3 and 14.4 months for erdafitinib and pembrolizumab, respectively. 64.7% and 50.9% of patients in the erdafitinib and pembrolizumab arms had ≥1 grade 3-4 adverse events (AEs); 5 (2.9%) and 12 (6.9%) patients, respectively, had AEs that led to death. CONCLUSIONS Erdafitinib and pembrolizumab had similar median OS in this anti-PD-(L)1-naive, FGFR-altered mUC population. Outcomes with pembrolizumab were better than assumed and aligned with previous reports in non- FGFR-altered populations. Safety results were consistent with the known profiles for erdafitinib and pembrolizumab in this patient population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Home visits have often been performed for diabetes management, but with the increased use of the internet and smartphones, people are opting for telenursing as the main method for monitoring and controlling diabetes. OBJECTIVE This study compares the effects of home visits and telenursing on diabetes management. METHODS Four electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) were used as data sources. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood sugar, and two-hour post-prandial glucose levels were used as outcome measures. A subgroup analysis was performed based on the type of diabetes and follow-up. RESULTS Of 1890 studies, 24 (2801 participants) were selected and meta-analyzed. The nursing interventions provided during nursing visits or telenursing mainly included education on diabetes and blood sugar control. It was seen that HbA1c decreased with a weighted mean difference of -0.66 (95 % confidence interval -0.82 to -0.51, p < .001) % in home visits and -0.56 (95 % confidence interval -0.81 to -0.31, p < .001) % in telenursing. The fasting blood sugar reported only in telenursing was reduced by a weighted mean difference of -14.23 (95 % confidence interval 27.59 to -0.88, p = .04) mg/dL and two-hour post-prandial glucose was reduced with a mean difference of -15.84 (95 % confidence interval -24.45 to -7.24, p = .003) mg/dL. Furthermore, low heterogeneity was found among the studies. In a subgroup analysis of diabetes type, HbA1c in home visits was reduced by -0.86 % in type 1 diabetes and -0.62 % in type 2 diabetes, while in telenursing, the reductions were -0.65 % and -0.53 %, respectively. Fasting blood glucose was reduced by -6.08 mg/dL and -18.50 mg/dL, respectively, whereas two-hour postprandial blood sugar was reduced by -14.49 mg/dL and -30.30 mg/dL, respectively, in telenursing. In the subgroup analysis of the follow-up period, HbA1c during home visits decreased by -0.63 % at 10 to 16 weeks, -0.73 % at 24 to 36 weeks, and -0.64 % at 52 weeks or more, while in telenursing, the reductions were -0.80 %, -0.44 %, and -0.07 %, respectively. Home visits were not statistically significant between 10 and 16 weeks, whereas telenursing was not significant at 52 weeks or more. CONCLUSIONS Despite telenursing reducing HbA1c slightly less than home visits, evidence from this systematic review suggests that telenursing is a similarly effective approach for controlling blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Telenursing is a nursing intervention that can be used as an alternative to home visits for patients requiring diabetes management.

Abstract
The current systematic review compared whether combined exercise and nutrition interventions are effective in preventing or improving sarcopenia in frail older adults and healthy older adults. Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL were searched for randomized controlled trials. Of the 1,596 citations, 22 trials (N = 1,767) were included in the final sample. In frail older adults, significant improvement after combined exercise and nutrition interventions was observed in seven indicators: skeletal muscle index, 0.16 kg/m2; handgrip, 1.41 kg; knee extension strength, 0.24 Nm; five-repetition chair-stand test, -1.89 sec; gait speed, 0.06 m/s; Short Physical Performance Battery, 0.43; and Timed Up and Go test, -0.56 sec. In healthy older adults, two indicators improved and showed statistically significant differences: handgrip, 2.15 kg; and 6-Minute Walking Test, 9.71 m. Combined exercise and nutritional interventions can improve skeletal muscle quality, strength, and physical performance in frail and healthy older adults.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To predict CRT response in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) with handcrafted radiomics (HCR) and deep learning radiomics (DLR) using pretreatment MRI. Furthermore, we investigate whether the incorporation of clinical factors improves prediction performance. MATERIALS/METHODS Two hundred and fifty-two patients with LACC are enrolled. All patients are treated with external beam radiotherapy, followed by high-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy with concurrent cisplatin. The patients are randomly divided into two independent groups for the training (167 patients) and test datasets (85 patients). Contrast-enhanced T1- and T2-weighted MR scans are obtained. Patients in the training and test sets have similar characteristics in terms of age, tumor size, FIGO stage, HPV infection status, or CRT response. For HCR analysis, 1890 imaging features are extracted and a support vector machine classifier with a five-fold cross-validation is trained using training dataset to predict CRT response and validated using test dataset. For DLR analysis, a 3-dimensional convolutional neural network was trained and validated using test dataset. RESULTS A comparison of the DLR and HCR models reveals that the DLR model exhibits better prediction performance than the HCR model for the test dataset (AUC = 0.721 vs. 0.597, p = 0.097). The incorporation of clinical factors could improve performance in both DLR and HCR models. CONCLUSION The DLR models outperform the HCR models in predicting CRT responses in patients with LACC. Combining clinical factors and MRI may improve the prediction performance in both HCR and DLR analyses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antibiotic resistance threatens public health worldwide, and inappropriate use of antibiotics is one of the main causes. AIM To evaluate qualitative use of antibiotics in asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) and urinary tract infection (UTI). METHODS Cases of positive urine culture (≥105 colony-forning units/mL) performed in inpatient, outpatient and emergency departments in April 2021 were screened in 26 hospitals in the Republic of Korea. The cases were classified as ABU, lower UTI and upper UTI. The appropriateness of antibiotic use was evaluated retrospectively by infectious disease specialists using quality indicators based on clinical guidelines for ABU and UTI. RESULTS This study included a total of 2697 patients with ABU or UTI. The appropriateness of antibiotic use was assessed in 1157 patients with ABU, and in 677 and 863 patients with lower and upper UTI, respectively. Among the 1157 patients with ABU, 251 (22%) were prescribed antibiotics without appropriate indications. In 66 patients with ABU in which antibiotics were prescribed with appropriate indications, the duration was adequate in only 23 (34.8%) patients. The appropriateness of empirical and definite antibiotics was noted in 527 (77.8%) and 353 (68.0%) patients with lower UTI, and 745 (86.3%) and 583 (78.2%) patients with upper UTI, respectively. The duration of antibiotics was adequate in 321 (61.8%) patients with lower UTI and 576 (78.7%) patients with upper UTI. CONCLUSIONS This nationwide qualitative assessment of antibiotic use in ABU and UTI revealed that antibiotics were often prescribed inappropriately, and the duration of antibiotics was unnecessarily prolonged.

Abstract
The objective of the current study was to conduct an initial comparison of commercial yeast products in layer hen diets on egg production parameters and the corresponding impact on the cecal microbiota. A short-term feeding study was conducted with 35 laying hens receiving either a control, or 1 of 4 different yeast fermentation products, Immunowall, Hilyses (both from ICC, São Paulo, Brazil), Citristim (ADM, Decatur, IL), and Maxi-Gen Plus (CBS Bio Platforms, Calgary, Canada) with 7 hens per treatment from 40 to 46 wk of age. At the end of the trial, hens were euthanized, the ceca removed and prepared for denatured gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) microbial compositional analyses. Although initial shell weight and shell thickness were similar among the treatment groups, hens fed Hilyses had lower shell weight and thickness at the end of the experiment. The most predominant DGGE bands with the strongest intensity were identified as Lactobacillus species and excised double bands were identified as Bacillus, Clostridium, or Lachnospiraceae. In this short-term feeding trial, the commercial yeast products tested had little effect on egg production and shell quality, and only moderately impacted the composition of mature layer hen cecal microbiota.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with poor clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. However, under some clinical conditions, obesity has protective effects. Bloodstream infections (BSI) are among the most common nosocomial infections associated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). BSI during ECMO is associated with higher mortality rates and poorer clinical outcomes. AIM To analyse whether body mass index (BMI) is associated with BSI during ECMO or with in-hospital mortality. METHODS All adult patients who had received ECMO support for >48 h were included in the analysis. The analysis of total duration of ECMO support, in-hospital mortality and BSI was stratified by BMI category. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to compare the risk of BSI among BMI categories. FINDINGS In total, 473 patients were enrolled in the study. The average age was 56.5 years and 65.3% were men. The total duration of ECMO was approximately 11.8 days, with a mortality rate of 47.1%. The incidence rates of BSI and candidaemia were 20.5% and 5.5%, respectively. The underweight group required ECMO for respiratory support, whereas the overweight and obese groups required ECMO for cardiogenic support (P<0.0001). No significant difference in BSI rate was found (P=0.784). However, after adjusting for clinical factors, patients in Group 4 (BMI 25.0-<30.0 kg/m2) exhibited lower mortality compared with patients in Group 2 (normal BMI) (P=0.004). CONCLUSION BMI was not associated with risk of BSI, but patients with higher BMI showed lower in-hospital mortality associated with ECMO support.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dementia, a slowly progressive disease, is poorly diagnosed. One reason is that it is difficult to use the screening tools. The six-item cognitive impairment test (6-CIT) is brief, with six items, and has a confirmed scoring system that can easily be used by an average individual. This review aimed to analyze the predictive validity of the 6-CIT including comparisons with other tools such as the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). METHODS Literature searches were performed on the MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycArticles using the dementia and 6-CITas keywords. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 was applied to assess the risk of bias. RESULTS Seven studies with 6,831 participants that met the selection criteria were included. The pooled sensitivity of the 6-CIT analyzed in seven studies was 0.82 (95% CI 0.73-0.89), the pooled specificity was 0.87, and the summary receiver operating characteristic (sROC) curve was 0.90 (SE = 0.04). The diagnostic performance of the 6-CIT and MMSE was compared in three studies. The pooled sensitivity of the 6-CIT was 0.85, the pooled specificity was 0.91, and the sROC curve was 0.91, whereas the MMSE values were 0.70, 0.93, and 0.68, respectively. CONCLUSION This review presents evidence that the 6-CIT has excellent dementia screening performance and could be used as a potential alternative to the MMSE. The 6-CIT may provide an opportunity for early detection of dementia.

Abstract
This study is an updated systematic review verifying whether the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) is a valuable screening tool for children and adolescents. Electronic searches were performed on MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycArticles, using depression and CES-D as keywords. Fourteen studies that included 7,843 children and adolescents were analyzed. In the meta-analysis by CES-D type, the pooled sensitivity and specificity for the long version were 0.81 and 0.72, respectively; they were 0.80 and 0.74 for the short version, respectively. The summary receiver operating characteristic (sROC) curves were 0.83 and 0.86, respectively. Compared to the CES-D and other tools, the pooled sensitivity (0.84 vs. 0.83) and the pooled specificity (0.72 vs. 0.74) were similar, and the sROC curve was the same at 0.83. This review indicates that the CES-D is an available and valuable tool for screening depression in children and adolescents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Despite the high prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) and the disease burden of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures, there is still a lack of well-designed, large-scale studies demonstrating associations among them. We aimed to investigate the effect of TB on the incidence of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures. STUDY DESIGN This was a nationwide population-based cohort study. METHODS This study was conducted using the National Health Insurance Service Database of South Korea. We included patients with newly diagnosed TB aged >40 years from January 2006 to December 2017. An uninfected control for each TB patient was randomly extracted by frequency matching for sex, age, income level, residence, and registration date at a 2:1 ratio. The primary outcome was the incidence of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures between the two groups, adjusted for sex, age, income level, residence, comorbidities, body mass index, blood pressure, laboratory tests, alcohol drinking, and smoking. The risk factors associated with osteoporosis or osteoporotic fractures were also investigated. RESULTS A total of 164,389 patients with TB and 328,778 matched controls were included (71.9% males). The mean duration of follow-up was 7.00 ± 3.49 years. The incidence of osteoporosis in patients with TB was 6.1 cases per 1000 person-years, which was significantly higher than that in matched controls (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.349, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.302-1.398, P < 0.001). The incidence of osteoporotic fractures was also higher in patients with TB than in controls (aHR 1.392, 95% CI 1.357-1.428, P < 0.001). Among fractures, the risk of hip fracture was the highest (aHR 1.703, 95% CI 1.612-1.798, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS TB independently contributes to the incidence of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures, particularly hip fractures.

Abstract
This systematic review aims, however, to determine which intervention is more effective. The skeletal muscle index (SMI), handgrip, and gait speed were used as indicators of improvement, and these effects were compared across six subgroups: combined intervention versus exercise; nutrition or control group; exercise versus nutrition; and exercise or nutrition versus control group. Out of 1596 articles, 32 studies (3063 older adults) were selected and meta-analyzed. Comparing the combined intervention with a control group, the WMD was 0.20 kg/m2, 1.56 kg, and 0.08 m/s for SMI, handgrip, and gait speed, respectively, all of which showed a statistically significant improvement. When a combined intervention was compared with exercise and nutrition, the former resulted in improvements in handgrip (WMD 0.38 kg) and gait speed (WMD 0.12 m/s). On comparing exercise and nutrition, there was an improvement in gait speed (0.12 m/s) with exercise alone. On comparing exercise with a control group, only handgrip (WMD 1.74 kg) and gait speed (WMD 0.11 m/s) showed improvement, whereas in the nutrition versus the control group, only the handgrip (WMD 0.90 kg) improved. Although exercise and nutritional therapy together demonstrated improved muscle strength, exercise is recommended for the improvement of physical performance.

Objectives
Conflicting results regarding sex-based differences in the outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients have been reported. Furthermore, no study has examined whether differences in in-hospital interventions and courses are driven by sex differences. This study evaluated the effect of sex on the in-hospital course of these patients as well as the survival rates and long-term neurological outcomes of comatose OHCA patients treated with targeted temperature management (TTM).
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed the Korean Hypothermia Network prospective registry composed of data collected from 22 hospitals in Korea between October 2015 and December 2018. To evaluate the effect of sex on patient outcomes, we created various multivariate logistic regression models including baseline characteristics, resuscitation, and in-hospital care variables with an interaction term (age × sex). We also performed a stratified analysis of different age groups (less than 50 years of age and older). Regarding the difference in in-hospital courses, we compared daily total and SOFA sub-scores between the sexes and analyzed whether the decision regarding early cardiac interventions and limitations in in-hospital care were associated with sex.
Results
Among 1339 patients included in the study, 952 were men and 387 were women. There were no differences in age or modified comorbidity index values between the gender groups. Women were more likely to experience cardiac arrest at home and unwitnessed arrests, whereas men were more likely to have shockable initial rhythm, cardiac cause arrest, and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) on initial electrocardiography and undergo early coronary interventions. The rate of survival to discharge was similar, but men showed better 6-month neurological outcomes. After adjusting for confounders, the male sex was not associated with survival to discharge or good 6-month neurological outcomes. There was no association between sex and outcome in patients of reproductive age and no interaction between age and sex. Regarding the in-hospital course, the daily total and SOFA sub-scores were similar in both sexes. The adjusted effect of sex was not associated with the clinician’s decision to perform early cardiac interventions. The decision to discontinue life-sustaining treatment was determined by poor prognostic factors, not by sex.
Conclusions
The findings suggested that men had more favorable 6-month survivals and good neurological outcomes compared to women since they had more favorable resuscitation variables. However, after adjusting for confounders, there was no difference between the sexes. This result was consistent with the data in patients of reproductive age. The results regarding in-hospital course showed that daily patient severity scores, early cardiac interventions, resource consumption, and the rates of withdrawal/withholding of in-hospital care were similar in men and women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To perform a systematic review of case reports or case series regarding thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) and cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) related to ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination to address the clinical features, laboratory findings, treatment modalities, and prognosis related with CVT. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We included 64 TTS patients from 19 articles, 6 case series and 13 case reports, in which thrombosis occurred after the first dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination published up to 30 June 2021 in Embase, ePubs, Medline/PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. RESULTS Of the 64 TTS patients, 38 (59.3%) had CVT. Patients with CVT were younger (median 36.5 vs. 52.5 years, p<0.001), had lower fibrinogen levels (130 vs. 245 mg/dL, p=0.008), had more frequent history of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and had higher mortality rate (48.6% vs. 19.2%, p=0.020) than that of patients without CVT. In multivariable analysis, the possibility of presence of CVT was higher in younger age groups [odd ratio (OR): 0.91, 95% confidence interval (CI): (0.86-0.97, p<0.001)] and those with accompanying intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) (OR: 13.60, 95% CI (1.28-144.12, p=0.045). CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that CVT related to ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination was associated with younger age, low levels of fibrinogen, presence of ICH and more frequent mortality compared to those of non-CVT. If TTS occurs after ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination, the presence of CVT in patients with young age or ICH should be considered.

Abstract
Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM), a chronic disease, is associated with obesity and inflammation. This study investigated the effects of body mass index (BMI), leukocytes, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) on type 2 diabetes mellitus in South Korean adults. Methods: Secondary analysis of data from 5,420 adults’ subject in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VII-3, 2018) was performed. The collected data were analyzed by n (%), mean ± SD, t-test, χ2 -test, and multiple logistic regression methods. Results: BMI and leukocytes count were higher in the T2DM-diagnosed group. The probability of T2DM increased by 4.76 times for obesity compared to normal weight, but high obesity was not an influencing factor for T2DM. As the leukocytes increased, the probability of T2DM increased by 1.15 times. However, hs-CRP was not an influencing factor for T2DM. Age was higher in the T2DM-diagnosed group and appeared to be an influencing factor in T2DM. Conclusion: Obesity and inflammation indicators, including WBC, appeared to be risk factors for T2DM. This study presented the basis of diet and exercise interventions for weight loss and white blood cell count in a T2DM prevention and management program.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression in older adults is a major disorder that can be triggering, exacerbating, or co-occurring with dementia symptoms. AIM This study compared the diagnostic accuracy of the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD) and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), a depression screening tool developed for older adults. METHODS Electronic searches were performed on the MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases using the following keywords: dementia, depression, and CSDD. RESULTS The pooled sensitivity of the CSDD and the GDS was 0.89 and 0.82, the pooled specificity was 0.88 and 0.85, and the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve was 0.94 and 0.91, respectively. In the subgroup analysis, the CSDD had the highest accuracy in the pooled sensitivity of 0.91, the pooled specificity of 0.87, and the sROC curve of 0.95 in the dementia group, and the GDS was the best in the non-dementia group at 0.88, 0.82, and 0.93, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The CSDD showed high diagnostic accuracy in older adults with dementia, and the GDS in older adults without dementia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are screened to distinguish whether cognitive decline in older adults is attributed to pathological causes rather than normal aging. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this review was to analyze the diagnostic performance of the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) in screening for MCI and AD. METHODS Electronic searches were performed on MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycArticles databases using the following keywords: dementia and ADAS-Cog. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 was used to checked the risk of bias in the diagnostic studies. RESULTS We reviewed 14 studies, including 3,875 patients who met the selection criteria. In 2,624 MCI patients from nine studies, the pooled sensitivity of ADAS-Cog was 0.80 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.68-0.88), the pooled specificity was 0.84 (95% CI, 0.75-0.90), and the area under the curve of summary receiver-operating characteristic curves (SROC AUC) was 0.89 (SE = 0.03). In 2,517 AD patients from 10 studies, the pooled sensitivity and pooled specificity were 0.91 (95% CI, 0.86-0.95) and 0.93 (95% CI, 0.88-0.95) respectively, and the sROC AUC was 0.97 (SE = 0.01). Although sub-analyzed according to age and years of education, there was no significant difference in the predictive validity of the ADAS-Cog. CONCLUSION The ADAS-Cog has high predictive validity as a screening tool in both MCI and AD, but has better diagnostic performance in patients with AD. When early screening for AD is desired, ADAS-Cog is a first-stage screener that can be initially employed.

Abstract
This review analyzes the predictive validity of the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD), considering cognitive function. Electronic searches were performed using MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases. Overall, 20 studies were reviewed, including 3,499 older adults, with and without dementia, who satisfied the selection criteria. Participants were stratified into the dementia, non-dementia, and mixed groups, and the diagnostic performance of the CSDD was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. In the dementia and non-dementia groups, the area under the curve was ≥ 0.9, confirming high accuracy of the test. The pooled sensitivity was the highest in the dementia group (0.87), followed by the mixed group (0.84) and non-dementia group (0.82). In the subgroup analysis based on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the ROC curve was 0.90 for older adults with MMSE scores < 15 and 0.87 for those with an MMSE score ≥ 15. Therefore, the CSDD can be considered excellent tool for assessing depression in all older adults, although its predictive ability is better for older adults with dementia compared to that in those without dementia. It can be used as a first-line screening tool for depression, regardless of cognitive function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the adapted Korean version of the Quality-of-Life Profile for Spine Deformities (QLPSD) questionnaire. PATIENTS AND METHODS English version of QLPSD was translated into Korean according to previously published guidelines. The Korean version of the QLPSD questionnaire and the Korean version of the SRS-22 was sent to 120 consecutive idiopathic scoliosis patients wearing braces recruited from the outpatient clinic. Reliability assessment and construct validity were evaluated. RESULTS The intraobserver reliability of all items in the questionnaire had a kappa statistic of agreement greater than 0.6. The QLPSD showed good test/re-test reliability (ICC = 0.815). The internal consistency of Cronbach's α was found to be very good (α = 0.918). The Korean version of QLPSD showed a significant correlation with the SRS-22 total score (p<0.001, r=-0.811) and single SRS-22 domains scores. CONCLUSIONS The adapted Korean version of the QLPSD was successfully translated and showed good measurement properties. As such, it is considered suitable for outcome assessments in Korean-speaking patients with idiopathic scoliosis.

Abstract
The poultry industry has attempted to improve carcass chilling efficiency, meat quality, and product safety. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of subzero saline chilling on carcass chilling time and microbial safety. Eviscerated tom turkeys were randomly picked from a local turkey processing plant and subjected to chilling in one of the 3 chilling solutions: 1) 0% NaCl/0.5°C (ice slurry control), 2) 4% NaCl/-2.41°C, and 3) 8% NaCl/-5.08°C. The turkey carcasses in subzero saline solutions were chilled more efficiently and reduced the chilling time over the carcasses in ice slurry solution. No significant difference was observed for carcass chilling yield and fillet cooking yield regardless of chilling method (P > 0.05). The number of mesophilic aerobic bacteria (MAB), Escherichia coli (E. coli), and total coliform cells were significantly reduced in the carcasses chilled in subzero saline solutions over the icy control, except MAB in 4% NaCl/-2.41°C (P < 0.05). Based on these results, the chilling of turkey carcass in subzero saline solution appears to improve carcass chilling efficiency and bacterial reduction, especially Gram-negative bacteria such as E. coli and total coliforms.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In the Edoxaban Low-Dose for Elder Care Atrial Fibrillation Patients (ELDERCARE-AF) trial, low-dose edoxaban (15mg once daily) showed better efficacy for stroke prevention and positive net clinical benefit compared to placebo in very elderly and high bleeding risk patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who often excluded from oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy. However, there are limited data to generalize the ELDERCARE-AF results into daily practice.
Purpose
To investigate the optimal OAC strategy for the best net clinical benefit in ELDERCARE-AF-like patients.
Methods
Using the Korean nationwide claims database, we included patients with incident non-valvular AF aged 80 years or older between 2014 and 2017. Among these, patients with one or more of the following criteria were finally included in the analysis: a low creatinine clearance (15 to 30 mL/min), a history of bleeding from a critical area or organ or gastrointestinal bleeding, low body weight (≤45kg), continuous use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or current use of an antiplatelet drug. The risks of ischemic stroke, major bleeding, all-cause death, and composite clinical outcome (ischemic stroke+major bleeding+all-cause death) as a measure of net clinical outcome were evaluated during follow-up. The inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) method was used to balance covariates between the groups.
Results
A total of 23,858 patients were finally included (no OAC, n=16,575; warfarin, n=2390; and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), n=4893, respectively). Among DOAC group, 69% used low-dose including rivaroxaban 15 mg once daily, dabigatran 110 mg twice daily, apixaban 2.5 mg twice daily, and edoxaban 30 mg once daily and 9% used very low dose including rivaroxaban 10 mg once daily and edoxaban 15 mg once daily (Figure). Median follow-up duration was 2 years (interquartile ranges, 1 to 3 years). Baseline characteristics were well-balanced after IPTW. Compared to the no OAC group, the DOAC group was associated with a lower risk of ischemic stroke (hazard ratio [HR], 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.81, 0.68–0.95) and all-cause death (0.90, 0.85–0.95), and a higher risk of major bleeding (1.43, 1.20–1.69) (Figure). Patients treated with DOAC showed a lower risk of composite clinical outcome compared to those without OAC treatment (0.93, 0.88–0.98). Warfarin treatment did not reduce the risk of ischemic stroke (1.03, 0.85–1.23) and all-cause death (1.05, 0.99–1.12), but increased the risk of major bleeding (1.60, 1.32–1.92) and the composite clinical outcome (1.08, 1.02–1.15) compared to no OAC group.
Conclusion
In very elderly patients with non-valvular AF who had one or more frail components, DOACs which were currently prescribed in usual clinical practice showed better effectiveness and positive net clinical benefit compared to no OAC treatment. Compared to the latter, warfarin did not show benefit and possible harm.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Selective sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown cardiovascular protection independently of glycemic control. Angiotensin II (Ang II) and H2O2 induced the expression of SGLT1 and 2 in cultured endothelial cells and isolated arteries to promote oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction. However, the expression level and role of SGLT1 and 2 in human arteries remain poorly studied.
Purpose
This study examined the expression level of SGLT1 and 2 in the human internal mammary artery (IMA) obtained from bypass surgery patients, and, if so, determined the underlying mechanism and function.
Methods
IMAs were obtained from 40 bypass surgery patients (age 45 to 82). The expression level of target factors was assessed by Western blot analysis, immunofluorescence staining and RT-PCR, and the level of oxidative stress using dihydroethidium staining. Human kidney was used as a control tissue known to express SGLT1 and 2. Porcine coronary artery endothelial cells (CAEC) were cultured and studied at passage 1.
Results
Western blot analysis of 40 IMA samples indicated a high level of both SGLT1 and 2 in 16 and 17 IMAs, an intermediate level in 8 and 6 IMAs, and a low one in 16 and 17 IMAs, respectively. Immunofluorescence staining of IMA sections indicated that SGLT1 and 2 immunofluorescence signals were observed predominantly in the intima thickening and the media. The expression levels of SGLT1 and 2 were associated with p-p65 NF-kB signals but not angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), AT1R, MCP-1, VCAM-1. IMAs with a high expression level of SGLT1 and 2 had a high level of ROS throughout the arterial wall including the intima thickening and endothelium, which was inhibited by the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine, the ACE inhibitor perindoprilat, the AT1R antagonist losartan, and also by the dual SGLT1 and 2 inhibitor sotagliflozin and the selective SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin. Pro-inflammatory cytokines mRNA levels of IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 were detected in IMAs. Exposure of CAEC to either TNF-α, IL-1β or IL-6 caused a concentration-dependent upregulation of SGLT1 and 2.
Conclusion
The present findings indicate that SGLT1 and 2 expression is observed in some but not all IMAs of bypass surgery patients predominantly in the media, the intima thickening and the endothelium. High expression levels of SGLT1 and 2 are associated with NF-kB activation and oxidative stress that is prevented by a selective SGLT2 inhibitor and by a dual SGLT1/2 inhibitor. Since pro-inflammatory cytokines triggered SGLT1 and 2 expression in endothelial cells, the inflammatory burden of patients appears to be an important trigger regulating SGLT1/2 expression and the subsequent pro-oxidant response prompting pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic responses.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Various physiology-based indices have been proposed to predict adverse clinical events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), such as the sum of three vessel-fractional flow reserve (3v-FFR), and the functional SYNTAX score (fSS). However, these values could not fully reflect the anatomical factors, which remains as a barrier for clinical application of these indices.
Purpose
To propose a novel index which can reflect both anatomical and physiologic features in CAD patients, and evaluate the additional predictive value for cardiovascular adverse events compared to previous indices.
Methods
For an index which can reflect both anatomical and physiologic features, we proposed the FFR adjusted SYNTAX score (FaSs). The FaSs is calculated by adding the product of the SYNTAX score and `1-FFR', for all three major coronary arteries. Among the 1136 patients who enrolled at 3V FFR-FRIENDS study, we investigated 866 patients, after excluding those who had missing variables. The 3v-FFR, fSS and FaSs were calculated, derived from the baseline FFR and SYNTAX score. Patients were divided into two groups according to the median value of each index. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE, a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction and ischemia-driven revascularization) at 2 years follow-up.
Results
Among the total population, MACE occurred in 35 (4.04%) patients. Using the median value in a multivariable COX regression model, only FaSs was associated with an increased risk of MACE, (Hazard Ratio [HR] 5.256, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.014–13.720), while 3v-FFR (HR 1.383, 95% CI 0.685–2.790) and fSS (HR 1.640, 95% CI 0.830–3.243) were not significantly associated with a higher risk of MACE. This was also observed in the Kaplan Meier survival curve analysis (log-rank p value: p<0.001 for FaSs, 0.153 for 3v-FFR, and 0.061 for fSS; Figure 1) The sensitivity and specificity of the FaSs was 85.7% and 51.6%, which was higher compared to the 3v-FFR (62.9% and 49.3%, respectively) and fSS (57.1% and 58.5%, respectively). When these indices were combined with clinical risk factors (age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, chronic renal failure, LVEF<40%), FaSs was superior compared with 3v-FFR and fSS assessed in regards of the predictive accuracy for MACE (Figure 2).
Conclusion
The FaSs, which is a novel index calculated by a formula using the SYNTAX score and FFR, showed a superior predictive value for MACE compared to previous indices. Our results confirm the importance of considering both anatomical and physiologic parameters in evaluating the patient's risk for cardiovascular adverse outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study analyzed the predictive validity of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale for late-life depression (LLD) over the age of 50 years and identified the usefulness of the CES-D compared with the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). METHODS Electronic searches were performed on the MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases using the following keywords: depression, depressive disorder, major, and the CES-D scale. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 was applied to assess the risk of bias. RESULTS We reviewed 22 studies, including 27,742 older adults aged 50+ years that met the selection criteria. In the meta-analysis, the pooled sensitivity was 0.81 in the CES-D long version and 0.76 in the short version. The sROC AUC was 0.89 (SE=0.01) for the long version and 0.88 (SE=0.04) for the short version. The GDS was only compared to the CES-D long version. The pooled sensitivity was as follows: the CES-D, 0.82; the GDS long version, 0.86; and the GDS short version, 0.87. Further, there was no heterogeneity of 0.0% between studies. The pooled specificity was 0.78 and 0.77, respectively, and the sROC AUC was 0.88 for the CES-D (SE=0.02), 0.89 for the GDS long version (SE=0.04), and 0.91 for the GDS short version (SE=0.03). LIMITATIONS We could not consider cognitive function of older adults. CONCLUSIONS The CES-D showed similar predictive validity compared to the GDS developed in older adults. The CES-D is a useful tool that can be used for LLD screening in older adults over 50 years old.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND GOAL OF THE STUDY The goal of the study was to compare the incidence of complications, technical difficulty of intubation and physiologic pre-intubation status between the first intubation and reintubation performed on the same patient in an ICU. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was approved by the ethics committee of Galicia (Santiago-Lugo, code No. 2015-012). Due to the observational, noninterventional, and noninvasive design of this study, the need for written consent was waived by the ethics committee of Galicia. Patients requiring tracheal intubation and reintubation in the ICU were included in this prospective observational study. Main endpoint was to compare the incidence of complications, physiologic pre-intubation status, and the rate of technical difficulty of intubation between the first intubation and reintubation performed on the same patient in an ICU. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 504 patients were intubated in our ICU during the study period, and 82 (16%) required reintubation. There was no difference between the first intubation and reintubation regarding number of total complication (35% vs 33%; P = ,86), hypotension (24% vs 24%; P = 1), hypoxia (26% vs 26%; P = 1), esophageal intubation (1% vs 1%; P = 1), and bronchoaspiration (2% vs 1%; P = ,86). Physiologic pre-intubation status and technical difficulty of intubation did not differ between the first intubation and reintubation. CONCLUSIONS In our ICU patients requiring tracheal reintubation, incidence of complications, physiologic pre-intubation status, and technical difficulty of intubation did not differ between the first intubation and reintubation.

Abstract
This study analyzes the performance of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) to screen for major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. We divided adults into three groups such as community-indwelling adults, patients with chronic diseases, and psychiatric patients. Electronic searches were performed on the MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO database using the following keywords: depression, depressive disorder, major, and CES-D scale. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 was applied to assess the risk of bias in diagnostic studies. We reviewed 33 studies, including 18,271 adults that met the selection criteria. In meta-analysis, the pooled sensitivity was 0.86 on community-indwelling adults, 0.85 on patients with chronic diseases and 0.85 on psychiatric patients. The pooled specificity was 0.74, 0.84, and 0.88, respectively, and the summary receiver-operating characteristic curves were 0.88, 0.91, and 0.93, respectively. The RE correlation was a negative value (-0.394) only in patients with chronic diseases, showing no heterogeneity between studies. The CES-D, which has shown high diagnostic accuracy in adults, can be recommended for use as a first-stage screener for MDD. As a result, the early application of the CES-D can lead to disease prevention in adults at risk for depression.

Background
In Asian patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), off-label underdosed prescriptions of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are common
Purpose
We aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of off-label underdosed apixaban with on-label standard dose apixaban in Asian patients with AF.
Methods
Using the Korean nationwide claims database, we identified patients who prescribed apixaban and did not fulfill the dose reduction criteria of apixaban between January 2015 and December 2017. Multivariable Cox hazard regression model was performed and hazard ratios (HRs) for ischemic stroke, major bleeding (MB), all-cause death, and the composite clinical outcome were analyzed.
Results
Compared to patients prescribed on-label standard dose apixaban (n = 4,194), patients prescribed off-label underdosed apixaban (n = 2,890) were associated with higher risks of ischemic stroke (adjusted HR [aHR] 1.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06-1.81), all-cause death (aHR 1.19, 95% CI 1.01-1.39) and the composite clinical outcome (aHR 1.17, 95% CI 1.03-1.34), but with no significant differences in MB between the two groups (Figure). In patients without any dose reduction criteria, off-label underdosed apixaban use was associated with a significantly higher risk of ischemic stroke than on-label standard dose apixaban use (aHR 1.85, 95% 1.25-2.73); however, in patients who had single dose reduction criteria (age ≥80 years, serum creatinine ≥1.5mg/dL, or bodyweight ≤60 kg), off-label underdosed apixaban use did not show a significant overall benefit in the composite clinical outcome compared with on-label standard dose apixaban, but was associated with a higher risk of all-cause death (aHR 1.32, 95% CI 1.07-1.64).
Conclusion
Off-label underdosed apixaban use was associated with higher risks of ischemic stroke, all-cause death, and composite clinical outcome and comparable risk of MB compared with on-label standard dose apixaban use. Label-adherence of apixaban dosing should be emphasized to achieve the best clinical outcome for Asian patients with non-valvular AF, especially in those without any dose reduction criteria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A systematic review was performed to identify the types of physical activities effective as interventions in preventing metabolic syndrome in middle-aged women. METHODS Electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and CINAHL) served as the data sources. Cochrane's Risk of Bias 2 was applied to assess the risk of bias of the randomized controlled trials. Meta-analyses were performed on selected studies using Review Manager 5.3. Thirty-one trials enrolling 2,202 participants were included. RESULTS Compared to controls, the effects of physical activity were indicated by pooled mean differences, which were -0.57 kg for body weight, -0.43 kg/m2 for body mass index, -1.63 cm for waist circumference, -4.89 mmHg for systolic blood pressure (BP), and -2.71 mmHg for diastolic BP. The effects were greater on the measurements of waist circumference and BP than on body weight and BMI. The types of physical activities were further analyzed according to sub-groups. Only aerobic exercise did not affect body weight and resistance exercise did not significantly change any results. Contrarily, combined exercises significantly reduced measurements of waist circumference and BP. CONCLUSION This review can provide valuable information for research and implementation of measures to prevent metabolic syndrome in middle-aged women.

Selected studies were meta-analyzed with Review Manager 5.3. Data were compiled from 15 RCTs comprising 1,110 participants. Overall, aerobic exercise reduced waist circumference and blood glucose, and increased VO2 max significantly. We recommend the application of aerobic exercise to prevent metabolic disease in middle-aged women.

Abstract
AIMS For the effective production of 146S particles, which determines foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) vaccine efficacy, we aimed to identify the optimal medium that is easy-to-use, productive and economically affordable for the large-scale production of FMD vaccine. METHODS AND RESULTS Nine combinations of cell growth media and replacement media were tested for virus propagation. Apart from the replacement strategy, we tested a simple addition strategy involving the addition of 30% v/v of fresh medium to the total spent medium using the Cellvento BHK-200 (Vento). Unlike other tested media that produced poor yields of 146S particles when the spent media were not eliminated, Vento exhibited high productivity with the 30% addition strategy. CONCLUSIONS Considering its lower price and media consumption compared to those of other media that require media replacement, the 30% addition strategy of Vento is highly effective. Furthermore, owing to its simple application strategy, it makes the scale-up process easy and helps in saving the time and labour involved in spent media removal. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Through the first comparative assessment of commercial media for the 146S particle recovery, this study suggests the best practical medium for the industrial-scale production of FMD vaccines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This up-to-date systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine the predictive validity of the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS-15) for screening depression in older adults aged over 65 years. METHODS Electronic searches were performed on the MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO database using the following keywords: depression, depressive disorder, major, geriatric depression scale, and geriatric depression scale short. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 was applied to assess the risk of bias in diagnostic studies. RESULTS Thirty-one studies that included 8,897 older adults were analyzed. The pooled sensitivity of the GDS-15 was 0.80 (95% CI:0.78 to 0.82), its pooled specificity was 0.79 (95% CI:0.78 to 0.80), the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.89 (SE = 0.01) and the Q* value was 0.82 (SE = 0.01). The subgroup analysis revealed that the pooled sensitivity and specificity of the GDS-15 were higher in older adults with normal cognitive function than in those with cognitive impairment. CONCLUSIONS These finding suggest that the GDS-15 may be more accurate for screening depression in older adults with normal cognitive function. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS The utility the GDS-15 may be restricted because its diagnostic accuracy is slightly lower among older adults with cognitive impairment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Executive function (EF) difficulties characterise a number of psychiatric conditions and EF impairment may be a predisposing factor and/or consequence of anxiety and stress. The aim of the study was to examine EF factors in a mixed clinical cohort (Autism Spectrum Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder) characterised by social impairment and investigate the influence of trait anxiety and state-based depression, anxiety and stress. METHODS In Study 1, a factor analysis identified EF and non-EF latent factor structures (N=205). In Study 2, (N=137) multiple regression analyses investigated the association between trait anxiety and state based depression, anxiety and stress, on EF and non-EF cognitive domains and on the two composite indices of the Behavioural Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF). RESULTS Trait anxiety was associated with better performance on neuropsychological measures of EF while state-based stress was associated with lower EF performance. A dissociation was observed between trait anxiety and state stress on the two behavioural indices of the BRIEF. Depression, anxiety and stress did not predict performance on non-EF cognitive domains. LIMITATIONS The cross-sectional design precludes cause-effect conclusions, further only self-report measures of affect were utilised and our performance measures of EF did not include a working memory test. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrate that trait anxiety and state-based stress influence EF processes across disorders with social impairment. The transdiagnostic efficacy of this finding can facilitate remediation strategies, it may also contribute to individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder gaining better access to mental health services.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adjuvant chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy are some of the standards of care for gastric cancer (GC). The Adjuvant chemoRadioTherapy In Stomach Tumors (ARTIST) 2 trial compares two adjuvant chemotherapy regimens and chemoradiotherapy in patients with D2-resected, stage II or III, node-positive GC. PATIENTS AND METHODS The ARTIST 2 compared, in a 1:1:1 ratio, three adjuvant regimens: oral S-1 (40-60 mg twice daily 4 weeks on/2 weeks off) for 1 year, S-1 (2 weeks on/1 week off) plus oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 every 3 weeks (SOX) for 6 months, and SOX plus chemoradiotherapy 45 Gy (SOXRT). Randomization was stratified according to surgery type (total or subtotal gastrectomy), pathologic stage (II or III), and Lauren histologic classification (diffuse or intestinal/mixed). The primary endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS) at 3 years; a reduction of 33% in the hazard ratio (HR) for DFS with SOX or SOXRT, when compared with S-1, was considered clinically meaningful. The trial is registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT0176146). RESULTS A total of 546 patients were recruited between February 2013 and January 2018 with 182, 181, and 183 patients in the S-1, SOX, and SOXRT arms, respectively. Median follow-up period was 47 months, with 178 DFS events observed. Estimated 3-year DFS rates were 64.8%, 74.3%, and 72.8% in the S-1, SOX, and SOXRT arms, respectively. HR for DFS in the control arm (S-1) was shorter than that in the SOX and SOXRT arms: S-1 versus SOX, 0.692 (P = 0.042) and S-1 versus SOXRT, 0.724 (P = 0.074). No difference in DFS was found between SOX and SOXRT (HR 0.971; P = 0.879). Adverse events were as anticipated in each arm, and were generally well-tolerated and manageable. CONCLUSIONS In patients with curatively D2-resected, stage II/III, node-positive GC, adjuvant SOX or SOXRT was effective in prolonging DFS, when compared with S-1 monotherapy. The addition of radiotherapy to SOX did not significantly reduce the rate of recurrence after D2 gastrectomy.

Abstract
AIM The main aim of this study was to compare the long-term outcome of a conventional colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in which submucosal dissection was continued throughout until the completion of resection (ESD-T) to hybrid endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD-H) in the colorectum. METHOD Medical records of 836 colorectal neoplasia patients treated by ESD-T or ESD-H were reviewed. ESD-H was defined as colorectal ESD with additional snaring in the final stage of the procedure. Primary outcomes were the overall and metastatic recurrence rates. Secondary outcomes were short-term outcomes such as the en bloc resection rate, procedure time and adverse events. RESULTS The overall recurrence rate was higher in the ESD-H than in the ESD-T group (5.7% vs 0.7%, P = 0.001). The metastatic recurrence rate showed no significant difference between these groups (1.4% vs 1.4%, P = 1.000). Multivariate analysis revealed that a failed en bloc resection (hazard ratio 24.097; 95% CI 5.446-106.237; P < 0.001) and larger tumour size (hazard ratio 1.042; 95% CI 1.014-1.070; P = 0.003) were independently associated with overall recurrence. The ESD-H group showed a lower en bloc resection rate (56.8% vs 96.5%, P < 0.001), shorter procedure time (45.6 vs 54.3 min, P < 0.001) and higher perforation rate (10.3% vs 6.0%, P = 0.029). CONCLUSION Although long-term outcomes in terms of overall recurrence are inferior following ESD-H, a failed en bloc resection and large tumour size are the only independent risk factors for recurrence. Further investigations are warranted to improve the long-term outcomes of ESD-H.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the image quality and radiation dose of ultralow-dose (ULD) and low-dose (LD) lower-extremity computed tomography (CT) angiography (LE-CTA) using the advanced modelled iterative reconstruction (ADMIRE) algorithm to detect peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in comparison with standard-dose (SD) CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and seven consecutive patients were examined using LE-CTA at 70 kVp and a dual-source scanner to achieve three image sets using 30% (ULD), 70% (LD), and 100% (SD) tube loads. Qualitative analysis was conducted by examining the three image sets for overall quality. The image quality of arterial segments was analysed by two independent readers. In addition, the CT dose index (CTDIvol) was measured in the three image sets. RESULTS The mean overall quality scores were 3.4±0.6 for ULD CT, 3.9±0.3 for LD CT, and 3.9±0.2 for SD CT. Both readers scored the arterial segments as 2-4 (adequate-excellent) in the three image sets. In addition, 89.4% (93/104) and 54.8% (57/104) segments of PAD with calcified plaques were scored 4 between SD and LD CT and between SD and ULD CT, respectively, and 45.2% (47/104) segments had a lower score by one point in ULD CT compared with SD CT. The mean CTDIvol was 4.1±1.1 mGy for SD CT, 2.9±0.8 mGy for LD CT, and 1.2±0.3 mGy for ULD CT. CONCLUSIONS LD/ULD CT at 70 kVp using ADMIRE reconstruction enables a reduction in the radiation dose while enabling adequate evaluation or follow-up of PAD based on LE-CTA.

Abstract
AIM To develop a laboratory-based tooth model of simulated blood flow in teeth and evaluate it using ultrasound Doppler flowmetry (UDF). METHODOLOGY A laboratory-based tooth model for UDF was created based on a microfluidic experimental model proposed by Kim & Park (2016 a,b). Twenty-one maxillary or mandibular anterior human teeth within 1 month of extraction were used. Four holes were made in each tooth to fit 1.6-mm diameter polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tubes: at the apical foramen, palatal surface in the centre of the crown, palatal surface apical to the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and the root centre. Fluid mimicking pulsating blood was pumped (pressure range: 0-200 mbar, flow rate range: 0-80 μL min-1 ) into the apical foramen via the PTFE tubes, which exited the tooth through the palatal surface in the centre of the crown (control group), palatal surface below the CEJ (group 1) and the palatal surface at the mid-root level (group 2). An UDF transducer of 20 MHz was placed at a 60° angle to the labial surface of tooth and was used to measure the fluid flow velocity (Vs, Vas, Vm, Vam, Vd, Vad and Vakd). The flow velocity of the different groups was compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, with a 95% confidence level. RESULTS UDF facilitated the detection of the simulated pulpal blood flow in the control group and group 1, but not in group 2. The mean and standard deviations of Vas, Vam and Vakd were 0.921 ± 0.394, 0.479 ± 0.208 and 0.396 ± 0.220 cm s-1 , respectively, in the control group, and 0.865 ± 0.368, 0.424 ± 0.215 and 0.487 ± 0.279 cm s-1 , respectively, in group 1. The pulpal blood flow values of the control group and group 1 were not significantly different (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This laboratory study revealed that ultrasound Doppler flowmetry enabled the detection of simulated blood flow below the level of the CEJ but not at the mid-root level.

Abstract
Tomentosin, a sesquiterpene lactone, is known to possess various biological activities. However, its anticarcinogenic activity against human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells has not been investigated in detail. Thus, this study aimed to elucidate the cytotoxic mechanism of tomentosin in human HCC cell lines HepG2 and Huh7. WST-1, cell counting, and colony formation assay results showed that treatment with tomentosin decreased the viability and suppressed the proliferation rate of HepG2 and Huh7 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Cell cycle analysis revealed increased population of cells at the SubG1 and G2/M stage, and decreased population of cells at the G0/1 stage in HepG2 and Huh7 cells treated with tomentosin. Annexin V/propidium iodide double staining and TUNEL assay results showed increased apoptotic cell population and DNA fragmentation in HepG2 and Huh7 cells treated with tomentosin. Western blotting analysis results showed that tomentosin treatment significantly increased the expression level of Bax, Bim (short form), cleaved PARP1, FOXO3, p53, pSer15p53, pSer20p53, pSer46p53, p21, and p27, but decreased the expression of Bcl2, caspase3, caspase7, caspase9, cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), CDK4, CDK6, cyclinB1, cyclinD1, cyclinD2, cyclinD3, and cyclinE in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, this study revealed that tomentosin, which acted through cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, may be a useful therapeutic option against HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As chest reconstructions in Poland syndrome are performed for patients at young ages, patients are generally concerned about conspicuous scars. Meanwhile, a robotic-assisted latissimus dorsi (LD) muscle harvest with inconspicuous scars has been performed for autologous breast reconstruction. As our experience with robotic-assisted LD flap harvest has increased over the years, we have made improvements in surgical techniques to optimize results. The purpose of this study was to introduce and identify the role of the refined robotic-assisted LD muscle flap harvest technique in autologous chest reconstruction in patients with Poland syndrome. METHODS Autologous chest reconstruction using a robotic-assisted LD muscle flap harvest was performed for 21 patients with Poland syndrome. Subjective assessments were performed to evaluate improvement in chest deformity, patient satisfaction with overall outcomes, chest symmetry, and scars. Assessments by the operator and two independent evaluating investigators were carried out with patients' photographs. The complication rates and the time for robotic surgery were also evaluated. RESULTS At the last visit, the average patient grades for improvement in chest deformity, satisfaction with overall outcomes, chest symmetry, and scars were 4.80, 4.72, 4.18, and 4.87, respectively. Assessments by the operator and two independent evaluating investigators demonstrated that improvement in chest deformity was achieved in all patients. No serious complications such as flap loss were recorded for any patient. The time for robotic surgery markedly decreased as experience accumulated. CONCLUSIONS Surgical refinements for robotic-assisted LD flap harvest might be effective and reduce operative times for patients with Poland syndrome.

Abstract
Cuprous halides, characterized by a direct wide band-gap and a good lattice matching with Si, is an intrinsic p-type I-VII compound semiconductor. It shows remarkable optoelectronic properties, including a large exciton binding energy at room temperature and a very small piezoelectric coefficient. The major obstacle to its application is the difficulty in growing a single-crystal epitaxial film of cuprous halides. We first demonstrate the single crystal epitaxy of high quality cuprous iodide (CuI) film grown on Si and sapphire substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Enhanced photoluminescence on the order of magnitude larger than that of GaN and continuous-wave optically pumped lasing were found in MBE grown CuI film. The intrinsic p-type characteristics of CuI were confirmed using an n-AlGaN/p-CuI junction that emits blue light. The discovery will provide an alternative way towards highly efficient optoelectronic devices compatible with both Si and III-nitride technologies.

Abstract
A 56-year-old male was referred in order to identify Fabry disease after his older brother was confirmed as Fabry disease of cardiac variant type. He had been treated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP) five years ago. He didn’t have a history of hypertension. Blood pressure was 118/65 mmHg and pulse rate was 75 beats per minute. Serum creatinine was 1.07 mg/dl and estimated glomerular filtration rate was 75.2 ml/min. Cardiac enzymes including CK-MB and troponin-T were normal. There was no proteinuria on urinalysis. A 12-leads electrocardiogram revealed normal sinus rhythm with severe left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and strain pattern. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed diffuse severe concentric hypertrophy of the left ventricle (LV) of an average ventricular wall thickness of 17 mm with normal systolic function (left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), 56%). TTE also revealed left ventricular outflow tract obstruction with systolic anterior motion of mitral valve. Right ventricle (RV) was also hypertrophied (RV free wall thickness, 7mm). Also, echocardiography revealed findings of diastolic dysfunction; left atrial enlargement, mitral inflow of a pseudo-normal pattern on pulsed wave Doppler image and an increased left ventricular filling pressure on tissue Doppler image (E/e’=20). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed diffuse LV and RV hypertrophy and preserved LV systolic function with hypokinesia of mid-septal LV wall. Delayed hyper-enhancement (DHE) was not found within entire myocardium. A coronary CT angiography was performed because of regional wall motion abnormality but did not show any significant stenoses. He was confirmed as Fabry disease with the same genetic mutation as his brother. He did not present symptoms and signs of any other organs besides only myocardial hypertrophy. He received enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with intravenous agalsidase-beta every other week via outpatient department for 3 years. Recently, TTE was performed and showed diffuse severe concentric LVH of an average ventricular wall thickness increased to 19 mm despite regularly ERT. Focal intramural and subepicardial DHE was newly developed at LV basal lateral and septal wall on cardiac MRI. Neutralizing antibody against agalsidase -beta was not found in serum.
Fabry disease of cardiac variant type can be delayed in diagnostic aspect because of absence of typical symptoms and signs. Despite the absence of neutralizing antibody, ERT did not prevent both further myocardial hypertrophy and myocardial fibrosis in patient with advanced myocardial hypertrophy caused by delayed diagnosis of Fabry disease. Suspicion of Fabry disease through detailed history taking including family history in patients with diffuse ventricular hypertrophy on an echocardiography can lead to early diagnosis and treatment and can result in improvement in a clinical outcome.

Abstract
Background
Diastolic blood pressure has a J-curve relation with coronary heart disease and death, but it is debating whether a J-curve association exists in general population. We aimed to assess the relation of blood pressure to mortality, and whether their association is interacted with presence of high coronary artery calcium (CAC).
Methods
The KOICA registry is a retrospective, multicenter observational study designed to investigate the effectiveness and prognostic value of CAC score for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in asymptomatic Korean adults. The association between CAC score and blood pressure was assessed. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the baseline CACS (> 300 and ≤ 300), and all-cause mortality was assessed.
Results
The study population composed 48903 subjects with a mean age of 54 ± 9. There were 425 (0.9%) deaths during follow-up. At baseline, SBP (systolic blood pressure) more than 110 mmHg and DBP (diastolic blood pressure) more than 80 mmHg was associated with increased risk for CACS > 300. In patients with baseline CACS ≤ 300, all-cause mortality was increased in patients with SBP of 110-119 mmHg (HR 1.47, p = 0.023), 130-139 mmHg (HR 1.72, p = 0.002) and ≥ 140 mmHg (HR 1.47, p = 0.042) compared to SBP of 120-129 mmHg, whereas DBP did not predict all-cause mortality. In contrast, SBP was not associated to all-cause mortality in patients with CACS > 300, whereas DBP < 60 mmHg (HR 3.53, p =0.018) and 70-79 mmHg (HR 2.21, p = 0.042) was associated with increased risk for all-cause mortality compared to DBP of 80-89 mmHg.
Conclusion
Low DBP was associated with increased risk for all-cause mortality in subjects with high CAC score, suggesting high-risk for coronary artery disease. However, this J-curve relation was not shown in the population with low CAC score.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Attempts have been made to quantify the microvascular leakiness of glioblastomas and use it as an imaging biomarker to predict the prognosis of the tumor. The purpose of our study was to evaluate whether the extraction fraction value from DSC-MR imaging within nonenhancing FLAIR hyperintense lesions was a better prognostic imaging biomarker than dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters for patients with glioblastoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 102 patients with glioblastoma who received a preoperative dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging and DSC-MR imaging were included in this retrospective study. Patients were classified into the progression (n = 87) or nonprogression (n = 15) groups at 24 months after surgery. We extracted the means and 95th percentile values for the contrast leakage information parameters from both modalities within the nonenhancing FLAIR high-signal-intensity lesions. RESULTS The extraction fraction 95th percentile value was higher in the progression-free survival group of >24 months than at ≤24 months. The median progression-free survival of the group with an extraction fraction 95th percentile value of >13.32 was 17 months, whereas that of the group of ≤13.32 was 12 months. In addition, it was an independent predictor variable for progression-free survival in the patients regardless of their ages and genetic information. CONCLUSIONS The extraction fraction 95th percentile value was the only independent parameter for prognostic prediction in patients with glioblastoma among the contrast leakage information, which has no statistically significant correlations with the DCE-MR imaging parameters.

Abstract
Background To identify predictive markers for responders in lapatinib-treated patients and to demonstrate molecular changes during lapatinib treatment via cell-free genomics. Patients and methods We prospectively evaluated the efficacy of combining lapatinib with capecitabine and oxaliplatin as first line neoadjuvant therapy in patients with previously untreated, HER2-overexpressing advanced gastric cancer. A parallel biomarker study was conducted by simultaneously performing immunohistochemistry and next-generation sequencing (NGS) with tumor and blood samples. Results Complete response was confirmed in 7/32 patients (21.8%), 2 of whom received radical surgery with pathologic-confirmed complete response. Fifteen partial responses (46.8%) were observed, resulting in a 68.6% overall response rate. NGS of the 16 tumor specimens demonstrated that the most common co-occurring copy number alteration was CCNE1 amplification, which was present in 40% of HER2+ tumors. The relationship between CCNE1 amplification and lack of response to HER2-targeted therapy trended toward statistical significance (66.7% of non-responders versus 22.2% of responders harbored CCNE1 amplification; P = 0.08). Patients with high level ERBB2 amplification by NGS were more likely to respond to therapy, compared with patients with low level ERBB2 amplification (P = 0.02). Analysis of cfDNA showed that detectable ERBB2 copy number amplification in plasma was predictive to the response (100%, response rate) and changes in plasma-detected genomic alterations were associated with lapatinib sensitivity and/or resistance. The follow-up cfDNA genomics at disease progression demonstrated that there are emergences of other genomic aberrations such as MYC, EGFR, FGFR2 and MET amplifications. Conclusions The present study showed that HER2+ GC patients respond differently according to concomitant genomic aberrations beyond ERBB2, high ERBB2 amplification by NGS or cfDNA can be a positive predictor for patient selection, and tumor genomic alterations change significantly during targeted agent therapy.

Abstract
Background There currently are no internationally recognised treatment guidelines for patients with advanced gastric cancer/gastro-oesophageal junction cancer (GC/GEJC) in whom two prior lines of therapy have failed. The randomised, phase III JAVELIN Gastric 300 trial compared avelumab versus physician’s choice of chemotherapy as third-line therapy in patients with advanced GC/GEJC. Patients and methods Patients with unresectable, recurrent, locally advanced, or metastatic GC/GEJC were recruited at 147 sites globally. All patients were randomised to receive either avelumab 10 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks or physician’s choice of chemotherapy (paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, and 15 or irinotecan 150 mg/m2 on days 1 and 15, each of a 4-week treatment cycle); patients ineligible for chemotherapy received best supportive care. The primary end point was overall survival (OS). Secondary end points included progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and safety. Results A total of 371 patients were randomised. The trial did not meet its primary end point of improving OS {median, 4.6 versus 5.0 months; hazard ratio (HR)=1.1 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.9–1.4]; P = 0.81} or the secondary end points of PFS [median, 1.4 versus 2.7 months; HR=1.73 (95% CI 1.4–2.2); P > 0.99] or ORR (2.2% versus 4.3%) in the avelumab versus chemotherapy arms, respectively. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade occurred in 90 patients (48.9%) and 131 patients (74.0%) in the avelumab and chemotherapy arms, respectively. Grade ≥3 TRAEs occurred in 17 patients (9.2%) in the avelumab arm and in 56 patients (31.6%) in the chemotherapy arm. Conclusions Treatment of patients with GC/GEJC with single-agent avelumab in the third-line setting did not result in an improvement in OS or PFS compared with chemotherapy. Avelumab showed a more manageable safety profile than chemotherapy. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02625623.

Abstract
Background Paclitaxel is currently only available as an intravenous (i.v.) formulation. DHP107 is a novel oral formulation of lipid ingredients and paclitaxel. DHP107 demonstrated comparable efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics to i.v. paclitaxel as a second-line therapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). DREAM is a multicenter, open-label, prospective, randomized phase III study of patients with histologically/cytologically confirmed, unresectable/recurrent AGC after first-line therapy failure. Methods and materials Patients were randomized 1 : 1 to DHP107 (200 mg/m2 orally twice daily days 1, 8, 15 every 4 weeks) or i.v. paclitaxel (175 mg/m2 day 1 every 3 weeks). Patients were stratified by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, disease status, and prior treatment; response was assessed (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) every 6 weeks. Primary end point: non-inferiority of progression-free survival (PFS); secondary end points: overall response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and safety. For the efficacy analysis, sequential tests for non-inferiority were carried out, first with a non-inferiority margin of 1.48, then with a margin of 1.25. Results Baseline characteristics were balanced in the 236 randomized patients (n = 118 per arm). Median PFS (per-protocol) was 3.0 (95% CI 1.7-4.0) months for DHP107 and 2.6 (95% CI 1.8-2.8) months for paclitaxel (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.85; 95% CI 0.64-1.13). A sensitivity analysis on PFS using independent central review showed similar results (HR = 0.93; 95% CI 0.70-1.24). Median OS (full analysis set) was 9.7 (95% CI 7.1 - 11.5) months for DHP107 versus 8.9 (95% CI 7.1-12.2) months for paclitaxel (HR = 1.04; 95% CI 0.76-1.41). ORR was 17.8% for DHP107 (CR 4.2%; PR 13.6%) versus 25.4% for paclitaxel (CR 3.4%; PR 22.0%). Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and mucositis were more common with DHP107; peripheral neuropathy was more common with paclitaxel. There were only few Grade≥3 adverse events, most commonly neutropenia (42% versus 53%); febrile neutropenia was reported infrequently (5.9% versus 2.5%). No hypersensitivity reactions occurred with DHP107 (paclitaxel 2.5%). Conclusions DHP107 as a second-line treatment of AGC was non-inferior to paclitaxel for PFS; other efficacy and safety parameters were comparable. DHP107 is the first oral paclitaxel with proven efficacy/safety for the treatment of AGC. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01839773.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES This study was designed to provide scientific evidence on the effectiveness of worksite-based dietary intervention to reduce obesity among overweight/obese employees. MATERIALS/METHODS Electronic search was performed using Ovid Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL databases. The keywords used were “obesity,” “nutrition therapy,” and “worksite.” The internal validity of the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was assessed using the Cochrane's Risk of Bias. Meta-analysis of selected studies was performed using Review Manager 5.3. RESULTS A total of seven RCTs with 2,854 participants were identified. The effectiveness of dietary interventions was analyzed in terms of changes in weight, body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol, and blood pressure. The results showed that weight decreased with weighted mean difference (WMD) of −4.37 (95% confidence interval (CI): −6.54 to −2.20), but the effectiveness was statistically significant only in short-term programs < 6 months (P = 0.001). BMI also decreased with WMD of −1.26 (95% CI: −1.98 to −0.55), but the effectiveness was statistically significant only in short-term programs < 6 months (P = 0.001). Total cholesterol decreased with WMD of −5.57 (95% CI: −9.07 to −2.07) mg/dL, demonstrating significant effectiveness (P = 0.002). Both systolic (WMD: −4.90 mmHg) and diastolic (WMD: −2.88 mmHg) blood pressure decreased, demonstrating effectiveness, but with no statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS The worksite-based dietary interventions for overweight/obese employees showed modest short-term effects. These interventions can be considered successful because weight loss was below approximately 5-10 kg of the initial body weight, which is the threshold for the management of obesity recommended by the Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network (SIGN).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) constitute a substantial disease burden. Although ILD outcomes have been investigated, the risk of death due to ILD has not been studied in the light of confounders and comorbidities. In this nationwide, 11-year longitudinal, population-based study, we aimed to discover if ILD is an independent risk factor for mortality. DESIGN Data on 1 031 392 (2.2%) randomly selected subjects from 47 279 373 Korean residents were collected from the 2002 Korean National Health Insurance database. The ILD group comprised patients with an initial diagnosis of ILD between January 2003 and December 2007. Each patient was followed until 2013. We used Cox proportional hazard regression analyses to calculate the risk of death adjusted for comorbidities and confounders. RESULTS ILD developed in 783 of the 303 385 subjects during the 5-year period (51 per 100 000 person-years). Death occurred in 157 (23.2%) cases and 272 controls (10.4%). ILD was significantly associated with the risk of death (hazard ratio 2.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.6-2.7) and for those aged 40-59, 60-69 and 70 years. A high proportion of patients with ILD died due to respiratory causes. CONCLUSION ILD patients had a significantly higher risk of death than matched controls, after adjustment for potential confounders and comorbidities.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Ageing is characterized by endothelial dysfunction and vascular oxidative stress affecting initially arterial sites at risk. Anthocyanin-rich products are potent stimulators of the endothelial formation of nitric oxide. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 1 (SGLT1) expression has been shown to be increased by oxidative stress and mediate anthocyanin uptake in endothelial cells.
Purpose
The study determined whether ageing is associated with an upregulation of SGLT1 in arterio-susceptible (aortic arch) and resistant (aorta) sites, and evaluated the vascular SGLT1-mediated anthocyanin uptake. In addition, the impact of a 2-week ingestion of an anthocyanin-rich blackcurrant concentrate (ARBC) by old rats on vascular anthocyanin uptake and oxidative stress, and systolic blood pressure (SBP) was assessed.
Methods
Male Wistar rats (22-month old) were either untreated or treated with ARBC (60 and 120 mg/kg/day) in the drinking water for 2 weeks. SGLT1 expression was assessed by immunofluorescence, anthocyanin accumulation by Neu A reagent using a purified extract (BCE) prepared from ARBC, oxidative stress by dihydroethidium using confocal microscopy, and SBP by tail-cuff sphingomanometry.
Results
SGLT1 immunofluorescence was observed predominantly in the endothelium and was higher in the aortic arch than the aorta in old rats whereas only low levels were observed in young rats (12-week old). Exposure of vascular sections to BCE resulted in anthocyanin uptake exclusively in the endothelium, which was higher in the aortic arch than the aorta, and more pronounced in old than young rats. Anthocyanin uptake induced by BCE in the aorta was markedly reduced by LX4211 (a SGLT1/2 inhibitor) both in old and young rats. A high level of oxidative stress was observed throughout the aortic wall of old compared to young rats, which was inhibited by LX4211. Ingestion of ARBC by old rats resulted in a dose-dependent accumulation of anthocyanins throughout the aorta wall and the aortic arch. The tissue accumulation of anthocyanins was associated with a reduced level of oxidative stress. Ageing was associated with increased SBP by about 8 mmHg, which was reduced by ARBC 60 and 120 mg/kg/day treatment by about 5 and 7 mmHg, respectively.
Conclusion
The present findings indicate that ageing is associated with an upregulation of SGLT1 predominantly in the endothelium and that this effect is more pronounced at the aortic arch than the aorta. The increased endothelial expression level of SGLT1 promoted a greater accumulation of anthocyanins sensitive to LX4211. In addition, a 2-week ingestion of ARBC by old rats resulted in the accumulation of anthocyanins throughout the arterial wall of the aortic arch and aorta, and resulted in a reduced level of oxidative stress and systolic blood pressure. Thus, SGLT1 may be an attractive target to restore vascular protection at arterial sites at risk by promoting endothelial and vascular uptake of anthocyanins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) subjected to prone positioning before extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). DESIGN A retrospective analysis of a multicenter cohort was carried out. SETTING Patients admitted to the Intensive Care Units of 11 hospitals in Korea. PATIENTS Patients were divided into those who underwent prone positioning before ECMO (n=28) and those who did not (n=34). INTERVENTIONS None. VARIABLES OF INTEREST Thirty-day mortality, ECMO weaning failure rate, mechanical ventilation weaning success rate, mechanical ventilation-free days at day 60. RESULTS The prone group had lower median peak inspiratory pressure and lower median dynamic driving pressure before ECMO. Thirty-day mortality was 21% in the prone group and 41% in the non-prone group (p=0.098). The prone group also showed a lower ECMO weaning failure rate, and a higher mechanical ventilation weaning success rate and more mechanical ventilation-free days at day 60. In the non-prone group, median dynamic compliance marginally decreased shortly after ECMO, but no significant change was observed in the prone group. CONCLUSIONS Prone positioning before ECMO was not associated to increased mortality and tended to exert a protective effect.
