Abstract
We report on the direct search for cosmic relic neutrinos using data acquired during the first two science campaigns of the KATRIN experiment in 2019. Beta-decay electrons from a high-purity molecular tritium gas source are analyzed by a high-resolution MAC-E filter around the end point at 18.57 keV. The analysis is sensitive to a local relic neutrino overdensity ratio of η<9.7×10^{10}/α (1.1×10^{11}/α) at a 90% (95%) confidence level with α=1 (0.5) for Majorana (Dirac) neutrinos. A fit of the integrated electron spectrum over a narrow interval around the end point accounting for relic neutrino captures in the tritium source reveals no significant overdensity. This work improves the results obtained by the previous neutrino mass experiments at Los Alamos and Troitsk. We furthermore update the projected final sensitivity of the KATRIN experiment to η<1×10^{10}/α at 90% confidence level, by relying on updated operational conditions.

Abstract
We report on the light sterile neutrino search from the first four-week science run of the KATRIN experiment in 2019. Beta-decay electrons from a high-purity gaseous molecular tritium source are analyzed by a high-resolution MAC-E filter down to 40 eV below the endpoint at 18.57 keV. We consider the framework with three active neutrinos and one sterile neutrino. The analysis is sensitive to the mass, m_{4}, of the fourth mass state for m_{4}^{2}≲1000 eV^{2} and to active-to-sterile neutrino mixing down to |U_{e4}|^{2}≳2×10^{-2}. No significant spectral distortion is observed and exclusion bounds on the sterile mass and mixing are reported. These new limits supersede the Mainz results for m_{4}^{2}≲1000 eV^{2} and improve the Troitsk bound for m_{4}^{2}<30 eV^{2}. The reactor and gallium anomalies are constrained for 100<Δm_{41}^{2}<1000 eV^{2}.

Abstract
We report on the neutrino mass measurement result from the first four-week science run of the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino experiment KATRIN in spring 2019. Beta-decay electrons from a high-purity gaseous molecular tritium source are energy analyzed by a high-resolution MAC-E filter. A fit of the integrated electron spectrum over a narrow interval around the kinematic end point at 18.57 keV gives an effective neutrino mass square value of (-1.0_{-1.1}^{+0.9}) eV^{2}. From this, we derive an upper limit of 1.1 eV (90% confidence level) on the absolute mass scale of neutrinos. This value coincides with the KATRIN sensitivity. It improves upon previous mass limits from kinematic measurements by almost a factor of 2 and provides model-independent input to cosmological studies of structure formation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The MRE11-RAD50-nibrin (MRN) complex participates in pathways of double-strand break induced DNA repair and cell cycle checkpoint control. RAD50 interacts with the MRE11 and NBS proteins, is involved in the maintenance of genomic integrity. The association of RAD50 mutation and breast cancer susceptibility has been reported in European patients. However, the impact of RAD50 mutation on a breast cancer predisposition among Koreans remains uncertain. In the current analysis, we evaluated the incidence of RAD50 mutations among Korean patients with non-BRCA1/2 high-risk breast cancer.
Materials and Methods: A total of 247 Korean patients with high-risk breast cancer who tested negative for BRCA1/2 mutation were enrolled. The criteria for high-risk breast cancer were as follows: having a family history of breast or ovarian cancer in any relative; diagnosed at age 40 years or younger; bilateral breast cancer; and male breast cancer. All participants were screened for BRCA1/2 mutations using fluorescent-conformation sensitive capillary electrophoresis (F-CSCE) and traditional sequencing. The entire RAD50 gene of each patient was sequenced using F-CSCE. In silico analyses of the RAD50 variants was performed using PolyPhen-2 and SIFT.
Results: There were two novel deleterious mutations in RAD50 (p.Q426X, p.E1271del). These mutations were found in two patients, including one with p.Q426X and the other with p.E1271del. Besides, five sequence variants in RAD50 were identified: four exonic variants (p.I118T, p.R486C, p.L1264F, and p.R1279H) and one intronic variant (c.1246-11T>C). Among the four missense variants, p.R486C and p.L1264F were variants predicted to be deleterious by in silico analyses.
Conclusions: We found protein-truncating mutations in RAD50 gene in a small proportion of Korean patients with high-risk breast cancer. The contribution of the mutation to the development of breast cancer should be clarified in further researches.

Abstract
Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has been considered as an alternative option to resolve the shortage of cadaveric donor organs, despite the ethical aspects of the donor procedure. The objective of this study was to analyze the risk factors affecting graft survival in LDLT. From June 1996 to December 2002, 141 patients who underwent LDLT were retrospectively analyzed. Graft survival rates were 82.5%, 80%, 77.3%, and 77.3% at 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years, respectively. The factors influencing graft survival in univariate analysis were graft-to-recipient body weight ratio (GRWR) less than 0.8% (P = .0009), intraoperative transfusion of more than six packed RBC units in addition to the use of cell saver amounts (P = .0001), left lobe grafts in adults causing small-for-size situations (P = .0135), and donor age (P = .0472). The multivariate analysis demonstrated that GRWR less than 0.8% (P = .002) and intraoperative transfusion of more than six packed RBC units (P = .014) were independent factors that decreased graft survival rates. The graft selection of greater than 0.8% of GRWR and reduction of intraoperative RBC transfusion improve graft survival.

Abstract
When blood is subjected to contact with foreign surfaces, as during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), the whole body inflammatory response is initiated, resulting in the expression of procoagulant molecules on the vascular endothelium and white blood cells. These surface bound procoagulants participate in the extrinsic coagulation pathway. It appears that the primary source of thrombin generation during CPB is due to extrinsic pathway activation. Thrombin not only converts fibrinogen to fibrin, it also acts as a proinflammatory agent resulting in a positive feedback loop or the inflammo-coagulatory response. Extrinsic pathway thrombin generation occurs as a membrane bound event. Membrane bound factors are resistant to heparin/ATIII inhibition. Therefore, the anticoagulant effect of heparin/ATIII is due to thrombin inhibition, not the inhibition of thrombin generation. Interpretation of the activated clotting time (ACT) must take into account the thrombin concentration [T]; this results in the coagulatory ratio, ACT is proportional to ([Hep -ATIII]/[T]). Considering this proportionality, it can be seen that the ACT cannot be used to quantitate heparin concentration. Changes in the ACT can reflect changes in [Hep - ATIII], changes in [T], or changes in both concentrations. Anti-inflammatory agents which suppress or inhibit the extrinsic pathway, such as aprotinin, result in decreased thrombin generation. As thrombin generation decreases, the ACT-heparin dose response curve is warped, resulting in a dose response curve resembling a PTT-heparin dose response curve. We can no longer assume that the disproportionate rise in the ACT relative to the [HEP - ATIII] when aprotinin is used as indicative of failure of the ACT to provide a credible indication of anticoagulation.

Abstract
A retrospective study was conducted to determine the effect of intraoperative Haemonetics Cell Saver (HCS) usage on postoperative homologous blood product requirements in CABG patients. From 1 January to 31 December 1993, 516 patients without renal disease or postoperative surgical or gastrointestinal haemorrhage had elective, first-time CABG surgery. The HCS was utilized in 435 of these patients (Group CS) and in 81 patients the HCS was excluded (Group NCS). Preoperative patient variables were similar in the group. We evaluated the HCS effect on blood product transfusion by comparing -x units of red blood cells (RBC), fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and platelets (PLTS) transfused per patient between groups CS and NCS. There were no differences in the -x units of RBC (1.9 +/- 2.7 CS vs. 1.8 +/- 1.5 NCS) or in the RBC transfusion rate (48% CS vs 50% NCS). There were also no significant differences between the groups in -x units of FFP (0.9 +/- 0.8 CS vs 0.4 +/- 0.9 NCS) or PLTS (0.7 +/- 3.1 CS vs 0.4 +/- 2.5 NCS), or in the percentage of patients receiving these products (12% CS vs 8% NCS). These data provide no evidence that the use of the HCS decreases the amount of homologous blood bank products required postoperatively in patients having routine first-time CABG surgery. The current era of aggressive blood conservation may have limited the role of the HCS in routine CABG surgery.

Abstract
Maximum advantage of certain fish species captured with shrimp, at present not fully utilized, constitutes a necessity in Venezuela. The purpose of this research work was to evaluate the stability of three of those fish species: bagre, cunaro and caballa, based on the changes that might occur in their fat content. This was done by comparing both the edible part of the whole fish, as well as the deboned flesh of each of them. Evaluation of the changes was performed by means of the acid and peroxide indices, with previous fat extraction, and the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) index. On the other hand, the fatty acids profile of the three species studied was determined by gas chromatography. According to our findings, the greater alteration was detected in the deboned sample, obtaining the highest TBA and acidity index values of all species, on the third month of storage; then a reduction of these values was observed. On the other hand, the peroxide index presented heterogeneous values in the three species analyzed through their storage period. The predominant fatty acids were: palmitic (16:0) among the saturated, and oleic (18:1) among the unsaturated. A greater proportion of unsaturated fatty acids was found in the three species. An increment of these in the deboned sample with respect to the whole fish, was also observed.
