Abstract	Background/aim: Given the characteristics of Serratia marcescens (S. marcescens), this study aimed at investigating its presence in the hands and contact lens cases of orthokeratology wearers, along with the status of bacterial contamination. Patients and methods: The 39 patients received the questionnaires about the background of orthokeratology and hygiene habits. A total of 39 contact lens cases and 39 hand samples from the patients were collected at Show Chwan Memorial Hospital from June to August in 2020 and sent to National Chung Cheng University for DNA extraction and PCR identification. Results: The results indicated a detection rate of 5.13% for S. marcescens in the contact lens cases and 12.82% in the hand samples. Additionally, 66.67% of contact lens case samples and 30.77% of hand samples found positive for 16s bacterial amplicons. The relationship between hand contamination and the duration of contact lens usage were revealed for both S. marcescens (p=0.021) and 16s bacterial amplicons (p=0.048). Conclusion: The results indicated that hand hygiene is more critical than focusing on contact lens hygiene when it comes to preventing S. marcescens infections. Nevertheless, both proper hand and contact lens hygiene practices can reduce the detection of bacterial eye pathogens, especially a common intestinal bacterium.

Abstract	Background/aim: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are rare soft tissue malignant tumors. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of benign reactive histiocytosis with hematoma that mimics MPNST on medical images. Case report: A 57-year-old female with past history of hypertension came to our clinic due to low back pain with radiculopathy which was diagnosed with a tumor arising from L2 neuroforamen with L2 pedical erosion. Initial tentative diagnosis on the images was MPNST. However, after surgical resection, the pathologic report revealed no evidence of malignancy but only an organized hematoma with reactive histiocytosis. Conclusion: Images cannot provide enough diagnostic evidence for distinguishing a reactive histiocytosis from MPNST. Proper surgical procedures and expert pathological identification can correct the mistaking of the ambiguous identification as MPNST. Images can only provide precise and personalized medication accompanied by proper surgical procedures and expert pathological identification.

Abstract	Background Asthma is the most common chronic inflammatory airway disease worldwide. Asthma is a complex disease whose exact etiologic mechanisms remain elusive; however, it is increasingly evident that genetic factors play essential roles in the development of asthma. The purpose of this study is to identify novel genetic susceptibility loci for asthma in Taiwanese. We selected a well-studied long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), MEG3, which is involved in multiple cellular functions and whose expression has been associated with asthma. We hypothesize that genetic variants in MEG3 may influence the risk of asthma. Methods We genotyped four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MEG3, rs7158663, rs3087918, rs11160608, and rs4081134, in 198 patients with asthma and 453 healthy controls and measured serum MEG3 expression level in a subset of controls. Results The variant AG and AA genotypes of MEG3 rs7158663 were significantly over-represented in the patients compared to the controls (P = 0.0024). In logistic regression analyses, compared with the wild-type GG genotype, the heterozygous variant genotype (AG) was associated with a 1.62-fold [95% confidence interval (CI) [1.18–2.32], P = 0.0093] increased risk and the homozygous variant genotype (AA) conferred a 2.68-fold (95% CI [1.52–4.83], P = 0.003) increased risk of asthma. The allelic test showed the A allele was associated with a 1.63-fold increased risk of asthma (95% CI [1.25–2.07], P = 0.0004). The AG plus AA genotypes were also associated with severe symptoms (P = 0.0148). Furthermore, the AG and AA genotype carriers had lower serum MEG3 expression level than the GG genotype carriers, consistent with the reported downregulation of MEG3 in asthma patients. Conclusion MEG3 SNP rs7158663 is a genetic susceptibility locus for asthma in Taiwanese. Individuals carrying the variant genotypes have lower serum MEG3 level and are at increased risks of asthma and severe symptoms.

Abstract	The aberrant activation of signaling pathways contributes to cancer cells with metabolic reprogramming. Thus, targeting signaling modulators is considered a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer. Subcellular fractionation, coimmunoprecipitation, biochemical analysis, and gene manipulation experiments revealed that decreasing the interaction of kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) with p110α in lipid rafts with the use of naringenin (NGN), a citrus flavonoid, causes lipid raft-associated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-GTP-ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1)-protein kinase B (Akt)-regulated metabolic dysfunction of glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), leading to apoptosis in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells.

Abstract	Taiwan has the highest incidence rate of oral cancer in the world. Although oral cancer is mostly an environmentally induced cancer, genetic factors also play an important role in its etiology. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified nine susceptibility regions for oral cancers in populations of European descent. In this study, we performed the first GWAS of oral cancer in Taiwan with 1529 cases and 44,572 controls. We confirmed two previously reported loci on the 6p21.33 (HLA-B) and 6p21.32 (HLA-DQ gene cluster) loci, highlighting the importance of the human leukocyte antigen and, hence, the immunologic mechanisms in oral carcinogenesis. The TERT-CLMPT1L locus on 5p15.33, the 4q23 ADH1B locus, and the LAMC3 locus on 9q34.12 were also consistent in the Taiwanese. We found two new independent loci on 6p21.32, rs401775 in SKIV2L gene and rs9267798 in TNXB gene. We also found two suggestive novel Taiwanese-specific loci near the TPRS1 gene on 8q23.3 and in the TMED3 gene on 15q25.1. This study identified both common and unique oral cancer susceptibility loci in the Taiwanese as compared to populations of European descent and shed significant light on the etiology of oral cancer in Taiwan.

Abstract	Background/aim: Gaucher disease (GD) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder that can involve the lungs and pulmonary vasculature. The long-term effects of GD on respiratory health remain unclear due to limited data on the natural history of this disease. We analyzed electronic health records for 11,004 patients with GD over 10-20 years to determine the incidence of pulmonary hypertension (PH), lung disease, and other respiratory comorbidities and better understand disease course to guide management. Patients and methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX research database of 130 million international patients. The incidence of primary/secondary PH, pulmonary heart disease, interstitial/obstructive/restrictive lung disease, pulmonary hemorrhage, and pulmonary embolism was assessed in patients with GD from 2000-2020. Results: Incidence rates of all conditions assessed increased from 10 to 20 years of follow-up. Excess risk of PH, lung disease, and pulmonary hemorrhage was significantly higher in GD patients after 20 versus 10 years. Conclusion: Extended follow-up in GD is associated with substantially higher risks of PH, lung disease and other respiratory comorbidities, highlighting the need for close monitoring and early intervention to mitigate long-term pulmonary decline. Improved understanding of mechanisms driving respiratory deterioration can support the development of novel treatments to optimize outcomes in this population at high risk of pulmonary morbidity and mortality.

Abstract	Background/aim: Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder characterized by sphingomyelin accumulation causing progressive lung disease, respiratory failure, and death. Patients and methods: This retrospective observational study used the TriNetX database of electronic health records for 15,108 patients with ASMD from 2000-2020. After exclusions, 8,980 individuals were followed for 10 or 20 years. Outcomes included incidence and prevalence of respiratory disorders. Associations of age, sex and race were assessed. Results: Nearly all respiratory outcomes increased significantly over 20 versus 10 years. Other respiratory disorders, specified respiratory disorders and secondary pulmonary hypertension exhibited the greatest increases, reflecting progressive lung damage in ASMD. While outcomes were poor overall, older age, male sex, and racial minority status associated with greater risks, indicating differences in disease progression or care. Conclusion: This study confirms the progressive nature of ASMD and need for close monitoring and treatment of pulmonary complications to reduce long-term morbidity and mortality. Genetic testing enabling diagnosis even for milder, adult-onset forms is critical to optimize outcomes.
