    Abstract This paper deals with cerebral paragonimiasis and cerebral hemispherectomy conducted as a treatment of cerebral paragonimiasis by Bo Sung Sim in Korea in 1950s-1960s. He demonstrated that cerebral hemispherectomy could be used for unilateral diffuse cerebral paragonimiasis. Sim learned cerebral hemispherectomy from Dr. L. A. French. at the University of Minnesota from 1955 to 1957 in America. The authors argues that Bo Sung Sim's introduction of cerebral hemispherectomy to Korea was not a simple application of an advanced medical technology, but a complicated and active process in that Sim used the technique to intervene intractable complications from cerebral paragonimiasis such as generalized convulsions, spastic hemiplegia and mental deterioration. Bo Sung Sim, one of the neurosurgeons of the first generation in Korea, was trained in neurology, neuropathology, neuroradiology and animal experiments as well as in neurosurgery at the University of Minnesota. After returning to Korea, Sim faced parasitic diseases, one of the most serious public health problems at that time, which were far different from what he learned in America. As a neurosurgeon, Sim tackled with parasitic diseases of the central nervous system with various diagnostics and therapeutics. In 1950s, more than one million populations suffered from pulmonary paragonimiasis acquired by eating raw crabs or by feeding juice of crushed crayfish for the treatment of measles in Korea. About 26.6 percent of people with paragonimiasis had cerebral paragonimiasis. Before bithionol therapy was introduced in 1962, neurosurgery was the only available treatment to control increased intracranial pressures, intractable epilepsy, paralysis and mental deterioration. Between 1958 to 1962, Bo Sung Sim operated on 24 patients of cerebral paragonimiasis. In two of them, he performed cerebral hemispherectomy to control intractable convulsions when he found diffuse cerebral paragonimiasis and cerebral atrophy at the operating table. The two patients were recovered dramatically after the operation. The first patient became a part of medical campus for 20 years after hemispherectomy, doing chores at the hospital and helping Bo Sung Sim for his teaching neuroanatomy. The presence of the hemispherectomized patient in the classroom impressed the students deeply. Furthermore, the hemispherectomized patient stimulated Sim and his school to perform research upon the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of the brain with hemispherectomized animals.

    Abstract Bo Sung Sim (1924-2001) stands as a prominent figure in the history of Korean neurosurgery. His devoted contributions have led to the fruitful development of modern neurosurgery in Korea. Sim practiced advanced neurosurgical techniques, undertook basic research, was passionate about education in the early years of neurosurgery in Korea, and played an essential role in founding the Korean Neurosurgical Society. Sim was a true neurosurgeon-a teacher, a scientist, and a superb pioneer in Korean neurosurgery.

    Abstract Tetrahydrofuran (THF) has garnered significant attention due to its pivotal role in biological and chemical processes. The diverse array of conformations exhibited by THF profoundly impacts its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. Understanding these conformational preferences is crucial for comprehending its molecular behavior. In this study, we utilize infrared (IR) resonant vacuum ultraviolet photoionization/mass-analyzed threshold ionization (VUV-PI/MATI) mass spectroscopies to capture distinctive vibrational spectra of individual conformers, namely, "twisted" and "bent," within THF. Our conformer-specific vibrational spectra provide valuable insights into the relative populations of these two conformers. The analysis reveals that the twisted (C2) conformer is more stable than the bent (CS) conformer by 17 ± 15 cm-1. By precisely tuning the VUV photon energy to coincide with vibrational excitation via IR absorption, we selectively ionize specific conformers, yielding two-photon IR + VUV-PI/MATI spectra corresponding to the twisted and bent conformers. This investigation conclusively affirms that both the twisted and bent conformers coexist in the neutral state, while only the twisted conformer exists in the cationic state. These findings not only bridge gaps in existing knowledge but also provide profound insights into the behavior of this pivotal molecule in the realms of biology and medicine.

    Abstract Chronic inflammation is a hallmark of atherosclerosis and macrophages play a central role in controlling inflammation at all stages of atherosclerosis. In atherosclerosis, macrophages and monocyte-derived macrophages are continuously exposed to cholesterol, oxidized lipids, cell debris, cytokines, and chemokines. Not only do these stimuli induce a specific macrophage phenotype, but they also interact extensively, leading to macrophage heterogeneity in atherosclerotic plaques. Herein, we review the diverse phenotypes of macrophages, the mechanisms underlying macrophage activation, and the contributions of macrophages to atherosclerosis in this context. We also summarize recent studies on foamy macrophages and monocyte-derived macrophages in plaque during disease progression. We provide a comprehensive overview of transcriptional, epigenetic, and metabolic reprogramming of macrophages and discuss the emerging concepts of targeting cytokines and macrophages to modulate atherosclerosis.

    Abstract The recent appearance of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has affected millions of people around the world and caused a global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It has been suggested that uncontrolled, exaggerated inflammation contributes to the adverse outcomes of COVID-19. In this review, we summarize our current understanding of the innate immune response elicited by SARS-CoV-2 infection and the hyperinflammation that contributes to disease severity and death. We also discuss the immunological determinants behind COVID-19 severity and propose a rationale for the underlying mechanisms.

    Abstract The preference for different conformations in morpholine has a notable effect on its behavior and reactivity in organic synthesis. Herein, we explored the intricate conformational properties of morpholines through a combination of advanced mass spectrometric techniques and theoretical calculations. Notably, we employed infrared (IR) resonant vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) mass-analyzed threshold ionization spectroscopy to measure the unique vibrational spectra of the distinct conformers (Chair-Eq and Chair-Ax) in morpholine for the first time. Through precise VUV photon energy adjustments to coincide with the vibrational excitation via IR absorption, we effectively pinpointed the adiabatic ionization thresholds corresponding to the Chair-Eq (65 442 ± 4 cm

    Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are effective in treating autoimmune diseases and managing various conditions, such as engraftment of allogeneic islets. Additionally, autologous and HLA-matched allogeneic MSCs can aid in the engraftment of human allogeneic kidneys with or without low doses of tacrolimus, respectively. However, HLA alloantigens are problematic because cell therapy uses more HLA-mismatched allogeneic cells than autologous for convenience and standardization. In particular, HLA-mismatched MSCs showed increased Ag-specific T/B cells and reduced viability faster than HLA-matched MSCs. In CRISPR/Cas9-based cell therapy, Cas9 induce T cell activation in the recipient's immune system. Interestingly, despite their immunogenicity being limited to the cells with foreign Ags, the accumulation of HLA alloantigen-sensitized T/B cells may lead to allograft rejection, suggesting that alloantigens may have a greater scope of adverse effects than foreign Ags. To avoid alloantigen recognition, the β2-microglobulin knockout (B2MKO) system, eliminating class-I MHC, was able to avoid rejection by alloreactive CD8 T cells compared to controls. Moreover, universal donor cells in which both B2M and Class II MHC transactivator (
