    Abstract Structure prediction of protein-ligand complexes, called protein-ligand docking, is a critical computational technique that can be used to understand the underlying principle behind the protein functions at the atomic level and to design new molecules regulating the functions. Protein-ligand docking methods have been employed in structure-based drug discovery for hit discovery and lead optimization. One of the important technical challenges in protein-ligand docking is to account for protein conformational changes induced by ligand binding. A small change such as a single side-chain rotation upon ligand binding can hinder accurate docking. Here we report an increase in docking performance achieved by structure alignment to known complex structures. First, a fully flexible compound-to-compound alignment method CSAlign is developed by global optimization of a shape score. Next, the alignment method is combined with a docking algorithm to dock a new ligand to a target protein when a reference protein-ligand complex structure is available. This alignment-based docking method, called CSAlign-Dock, showed superior performance to

    Abstract Background: Active surveillance (AS) has become an alternative treatment approach for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). The purpose of this study is to uncover the clinicopathological factors associated with high-risk nodal disease in order to select proper candidates for AS of PTMC.
    Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 5,329 patients with PTMC without extrathyroidal extension (ETE) who underwent thyroidectomy with central compartment neck dissection (CCND) between 2007 and 2021 at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital. Patients with more than five metastatic lymph nodes (MLNs) (higher-risk N1 disease) and/or lateral neck node metastases (N1b disease) were defined as having high-risk nodal disease. The clinicopathological factors associated with high-risk nodal disease were analyzed.
    Results: A total of 415 (7.8%) patients had higher-risk N1 disease. These patients were younger on average, included a higher proportion of males, and had a larger tumor size and more frequent capsular invasion and multifocality compared with other patients. For the tumor size, a cutoff value of 0.65 cm was the best predictor of nodal risk groups. In a multivariate analysis, the independent risk factors associated with higher-risk N1 disease were younger age, male sex, tumor size >0.65 cm, and the presence of capsular invasion and/or multifocality. A total of 246 (4.6%) patients had N1b disease at initial diagnosis. In a multivariate analysis, the independent risk factors associated with N1b disease were younger age, male sex, tumor size >0.65 cm, and the presence of capsular invasion and/or multifocality.
    Conclusions: Young age, male sex, tumor size >0.65 cm, and presence of capsular invasion and/or multifocality can be considered risk factors for high-risk nodal disease in PTMC. Therefore, cautious observation is necessary for AS of patients with these characteristics.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the long-term stability of the AcrySof IQ PanOptix TFNT00 intraocular lens (IOL) (Alcon Laboratories, Inc).
    Methods: This was a retrospective review of 1,065 eyes (745 patients) who underwent implantation of a PanOptix IOL. A total of 296 eyes (mean age: 58.62 ± 5.63 years and preoperative refractive error: -0.68 ± 3.01 diopters [D]) met inclusion criteria for this study. The objective refraction, uncorrected distance and near visual acuity (UDVA and UNVA), and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) were evaluated at postoperative months 1, 2, 6, 12, 24, and 36.
    Results: The refractive error was -0.20 ± 0.36 D at 1 month, -0.20 ± 0.35 D at 2 months (
    Conclusions: Implantation of the PanOptix IOL yields stable clinical outcomes for visual acuity and refractive error for the first 3 years. A slight hyperopic shift, causing decreased near visual acuity, is anticipated for younger patients.

    Abstract Prediction of protein-ligand binding poses is an essential component for understanding protein-ligand interactions and computer-aided drug design. Various proteins involve prosthetic groups such as heme for their functions, and adequate consideration of the prosthetic groups is vital for protein-ligand docking. Here, we extend the GalaxyDock2 protein-ligand docking algorithm to handle ligand docking to heme proteins. Docking to heme proteins involves increased complexity because the interaction of heme iron and ligand has covalent nature. GalaxyDock2-HEME, a new protein-ligand docking program for heme proteins, has been developed based on GalaxyDock2 by adding an orientation-dependent scoring term to describe heme iron-ligand coordination interaction. This new docking program performs better than other noncommercial docking programs such as EADock with MMBP, AutoDock Vina, PLANTS, LeDock, and GalaxyDock2 on a heme protein-ligand docking benchmark set in which ligands are known to bind iron. In addition, docking results on two other sets of heme protein-ligand complexes in which ligands do not bind iron show that GalaxyDock2-HEME does not have a high bias toward iron binding compared to other docking programs. This implies that the new docking program can distinguish iron binders from noniron binders for heme proteins.

    Abstract Background: It remains controversial whether prophylactic central compartment neck dissection (pCCND) is necessary in cases of stage T1-T2 cN0 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Some studies have demonstrated the benefits of pCCND on oncologic outcomes, whereas others reported that any advantages were insignificant. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of pCCND on cancer recurrence and its pattern in patients with T1-T2 cN0 PTC.
    Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 2,902 patients with PTC who had undergone thyroidectomy between 2006 and 2012 at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital: 2,099 patients had undergone pCCND and thyroidectomy (pCCND group), whereas 803 did not undergo pCCND (non-pCCND group). We investigated the effects of pCCND on cancer recurrence by comparing these two groups. Recurrence was classified according to the location of the recurrence.
    Results: The mean follow-up period was 112 months. The mean patient age was significantly younger in the pCCND group than in the non-pCCND group. There were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of sex, tumor size, or thyroidectomy extension between the groups. In the pCCND group, 883 (42%) patients showed evidence of N1a disease, and the mean number of metastatic lymph nodes was 1.26±2.2. Recurrence occurred in 67 (2.3%) patients in the total cohort. Recurrence was observed in 20 (2.5%) and 47 (2.2%) patients in the non-pCCND and pCCND groups, respectively, but there were no significant differences between the groups (P=0.687). When analyzed by the site of recurrence, 50% and 4.3% of recurrent disease in the non-pCCND and pCCND groups, respectively, occurred in the central compartment (P<0.001). There were no differences between the two groups in recurrent disease at other sites. The 15-year cumulative central compartment recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates of patients in the non-pCCND and pCCND groups were 99% and 100%, respectively (P<0.001). In the multivariate analysis, not performing pCCND was the only independent risk factor related to central compartment RFS, and the hazard ratio was 13.362 [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.928-60.986; P<0.001].
    Conclusions: The omission of pCCND was found to be an independent risk factor for recurrence in the central compartment in patients with T1-T2 cN0 PTC.

    Abstract Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) located in the isthmus generally has been known to have more extrathyroidal extension (ETE), lymph node involvement, and multifocality. The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical significance of an isthmic location of PTC.
    Methods: The records of 160 patients who underwent a total thyroidectomy due to a single, dominant isthmic PTC were retrospectively reviewed. The characteristics of isthmic cancer were compared with those of unilateral-lobar cancer in a PTC cohort at Seoul St. Mary's hospital. After propensity score matching for age, sex, and tumor size, 160 isthmic PTCs and 800 unilateral-lobar PTCs were compared. The clinicopathologic characteristics were analyzed to evaluate the prognostic significance of an isthmic tumor location.
    Results: The isthmic group was significantly older (49.6
    Conclusions: Isthmic location is not an independent risk factor for aggressive clinicopathologic features and is not related to PTC recurrence.

    Abstract Background: Although the optimal duration of breastfeeding remains unclear, breastfeeding is generally recommended exclusively for the first 6 months of life, which continues into late infancy. However, the awareness regarding the effects of long-term breastfeeding is relatively low compared with that of breastfeeding in early infancy. We aimed to investigate the growth and nutritional characteristics of the children with prolonged breastfeeding (PBF) over 1 year.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study was based on the data of children aged 12 to 23 months from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2010-2020) conducted by the Korean Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Data on anthropometric measurements, dietary behavior, and food and nutrient intake were extracted, and the association between PBF and growth, nutritional status, and dietary patterns were analyzed.
    Results: Of the 872 children with a birth weight of ≥ 2.5 kg in the final analysis, 34.2% continued breastfeeding over 12 months of age, and their median breastfeeding duration was 14.2 months. Children with PBF were more likely to have lower current body weight (
    Conclusion: Korean children who continued breastfeeding over 12 months of age showed distinct characteristics in terms of growth, nutritional status, and dietary patterns in the second year of life compared to children who did not. Long-term additional research on their growth and nutritional status may be needed; however, these findings are significant as important fundamental data for nutritional counseling to establish healthy PBF.

    Abstract Atomic-level knowledge of protein-ligand interactions allows a detailed understanding of protein functions and provides critical clues to discovering molecules regulating the functions. While recent innovative deep learning methods for protein structure prediction dramatically increased the structural coverage of the human proteome, molecular interactions remain largely unknown. A new database, HProteome-BSite, provides predictions of binding sites and ligands in the enlarged 3D human proteome. The model structures for human proteins from the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database were processed to structural domains of high confidence to maximize the coverage and reliability of interaction prediction. For ligand binding site prediction, an updated version of a template-based method GalaxySite was used. A high-level performance of the updated GalaxySite was confirmed. HProteome-BSite covers 80.74% of the UniProt entries in the AlphaFold human 3D proteome. Predicted binding sites and binding poses of potential ligands are provided for effective applications to further functional studies and drug discovery. The HProteome-BSite database is available at https://galaxy.seoklab.org/hproteome-bsite/database and is free and open to all users.

    Abstract In many complex oxides, the oxygen vacancy formation is a promising route to modify the material properties such as a superconductivity and an oxygen diffusivity. Cation substitutions and external strain have been utilized to control the concentration and diffusion of oxygen vacancies, but the mechanisms behind the controls are not fully understood. Using first-principles calculations, we find how Sr doping and external strain greatly enhances the diffusivity of oxygen vacancies in La

    Abstract A newly developed extended-depth-of-focus AcrySof® Vivity™ intraocular lens (IOL), which has a wavefront-shaped anterior surface, has shown a promising outcome in minimizing dysphotopsia, the biggest issue after diffractive type IOL implantation. On the contrary, relatively low uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) has been raised as a demerit of this IOL. However, there is only limited information about the UNVA after Vivity implantation. In the present study, we compared the uncorrected distant and intermediate visual acuity (UDVA and UIVA) and UNVA according to the range of refractive error (RE) from 91 eyes from 91 patients implanted with Vivity IOL. Then we assessed the biometric factors for their association with UNVA from 66 eyes with a RE within ± 0.25 D. The UDVA was worst in eyes with RE < -0.50 D (0.17 ± 0.21), which was significantly worse than in any other group (P < 0.001 for every analysis). The UIVA was worst in eyes with RE of 0.25 to 0.50 D (0.35 ± 0.07 D), which was significantly worse than in eyes with RE of -0.50 to -0.26 D (P = 0.020) and in eyes with RE of -0.25 to -0.01 D (P = 0.028). The UNVA was worst in eyes with RE of 0.25 to 0.50 D (0.40 ± 0.14 D), which was significantly worse than in eyes with RE of -0.50 to -0.26 D (P = 0.022), which suggests that the extent of monovision should be limited up to -0.50 diopter. On univariate analysis for UNVA in eyes with a RE within ± 0.25 D, the anterior chamber depth (R = 0.257; P = 0.037) and pupil size (R = 0.451; P < 0.001) had a statistically significant relation to UNVA, while multivariate analysis showed the pupil size (β = 0.451; P < 0.001) as the sole indicator, suggesting eyes with a small pupil size might receive a UNVA benefit.
