    Abstract Very preterm children, born before 32 weeks of gestation, are at risk for impaired cognitive function, mediated by several risk factors. Cognitive impairment can be measured by various neurodevelopmental assessments and is closely associated with structural alterations of brain morphometry, such as cortical thickness. However, the association between structural alterations and high-order cognitive function remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the neurodevelopmental associations between brain structural changes and cognitive abilities in very preterm and full-term children. Cortical thickness was assessed in 37 very preterm and 24 full-term children aged 6 years. Cortical thickness analysis of structural T1-weighted images was performed using Advanced Normalization Tools. Associations between cortical thickness and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children were evaluated by regression analysis based on ordinary least square estimation. Compared with full-term children, very preterm children showed significant differences in cortical thickness, variously associated with cognitive abilities in several brain regions. Perceptual reasoning indices were broadly correlated with cortical thickness in very preterm and full-term children. These findings provide important insights into neurodevelopment and its association with cortical thickness, which may serve as a biomarker in predictive models for neurodevelopmental diagnosis of high-order cognitive function.

    Abstract Background: For patients with stage II and III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), various multi-modality treatments are required. However, depending on the individual conditions of patients, there will be a significant difference in prognosis. Therefore, this study investigated the clinical impact of inadequate treatment (limited surgery and inadequate adjuvant therapy) in patients with NSCLC stage II or III using data from the Korean Association of Lung Cancer Registry (KALC-R) between 2014 and 2016.
    Methods: Of the 8,110 new lung cancer cases registered at the Korea Central Cancer Registry in 2014-2016, 721 patients with stage II or III NSCLC were selected and divided into three groups according to differences in cancer treatment methods. In group A, patients underwent standard surgery and completed adjuvant therapy. In group B, patients underwent standard surgery without completing adjuvant therapy. In group C, patients received adjuvant therapy after limited surgery. After performing propensity score matching (PSM) for selected patients, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates of the three groups of patients with stage II and III NSCLC patients were then compared.
    Results: Of the 721 patients with NSCLC, 239, 437, and 45 belonged to groups A, B, and C, respectively. After 1:3 PS matching for groups B and C, the 5-year survival rate of patients with stage II or III NSCLC were 68.0% and 26.7% for groups B and C, respectively and the DFS rate was 59.1% and 16.2% for groups B and C, respectively.
    Conclusions: The therapeutic effect of the standard surgery was the best. Although patients received adjuvant therapy, limited resection resulted in a poorer prognosis in compromised patients compared with omitting adjuvant therapy followed by standard surgery. Thus, surgical treatment should be considered in patients who are unable to complete surgical and adjuvant therapy.

    Abstract Symplocos sp. contains various phytochemicals and is used as a folk remedy for treatment of diseases such as enteritis, malaria, and leprosy. In this study, we discovered that 70% ethanol extracts of Symplocos sawafutagi Nagam. and S. tanakana Nakai leaves have antioxidant and anti-diabetic effects. The components in the extracts were profiled using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry; quercetin-3-O-(6''-O-galloyl)-β-d-galactopyranoside (6) and tellimagrandin II (7) were the main phenolic compounds. They acted as strong antioxidants with excellent radical scavenging activity and as inhibitors of non-enzymatic advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) formation. Mass fragmentation analysis demonstrated that compounds 6 and 7 could form mono- or di-methylglyoxal adducts via reaction with methylglyoxal, which is a reactive carbonyl intermediate and an important precursor of AGEs. In addition, compound 7 effectively inhibited the binding between AGE2 and receptor for AGEs as well as the activity of α-glucosidase. Enzyme kinetic study revealed that compound 7 acts as a competitive inhibitor of α-glucosidase, through interaction with the active site of the enzyme. Therefore, compounds 6 and 7, the major constituents of S. sawafutagi and S. tanakana leaves, are promising for developing drugs for preventing or treating diseases caused by aging and excessive sugar consumption.

    Abstract Background: There exists a paucity of data regarding whether gamma-glutamyl transferase is associated with disease-specific mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to investigate the association of serum gamma-glutamyl transferase levels with all-cause and disease-specific mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus using a Korean nationwide health-screening database.
    Methods: A total of 9 687 066 patients without viral hepatitis or liver cirrhosis who underwent health examination in 2009 were included. These patients were divided into four groups according to sex-specific quartiles of serum gamma-glutamyl transferase levels.
    Results: During a median follow-up period of 8.1 years, 222 242 deaths were identified. The all-cause mortality rate increased as the serum gamma-glutamyl transferase levels became higher (highest quartile vs lowest quartile: hazard ratio [HR], 1.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.55-1.59; p for trend <.001). Similar trends were observed for cardiovascular disease (HR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.53-1.62), ischemic heart disease (HR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.33-1.48), and stroke (HR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.60-1.85) in the highest quartile, as compared with the lowest quartile (p for trend <.001). As the gamma-glutamyl transferase quartiles became higher, mortality rates related to cancer (HR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.52-1.60), liver disease (HR, 9.42; 95% CI, 8.81-10.07), respiratory disease (HR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.49-1.62), and infectious disease (HR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.59-1.87) also increased in the highest quartile, compared with the lowest quartile (p for trend <.001).
    Conclusions: Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase levels may be useful for the risk assessment of all-cause and disease-specific mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

    Abstract The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) to improve the oral absorption of poorly water-soluble enzalutamide (ENZ). Considering the rapid recrystallization of the drug, based on solubility and crystallization tests in various oils, surfactants and co-surfactants, Labrafac PG 10%, Solutol HS15 80%, and Transcutol P 10%, which showed the most stable particle size and polydispersity index (PDI) without drug precipitation, were selected as the optimal SNEDDS formulation. The optimized SNEDDS formulation showed excellent dissolution profiles for all the drugs released at 10 min of dissolution due to the increased surface area with a small particle size of approximately 16 nm. Additionally, it was confirmed to be stable without significant differences in physical and chemical properties for 6 months under accelerated conditions (40 ± 2 °C, 75 ± 5% RH) and stressed conditions (60 ± 2 °C). Associated with the high dissolutions of ENZ, pharmacokinetic parameters were also greatly improved. Specifically, the AUC was 1.9 times higher and the C

    Abstract Early blight caused by Alternaria solani is a common foliar disease of potato around the world, and serious infections result in reduced yields and marketability due to infected tubers. The major aim of this study is to figure out the synergistic effect between microorganism and fungicides and to evaluate the effectiveness of Bacillus subtilis NM4 in the control of early blight in potato. Based on its colonial morphology and a 16S rRNA analysis, a bacterial antagonist isolated from kimchi was identified as B. subtilis NM4 and it has strong antifungal and anti-oomycete activity against several phytopathogenic fungi and oomycetes. The culture filtrate of strain NM4 with the fungicide effectively suppressed the mycelial growth of A. solani, with the highest growth inhibition rate of 83.48%. Although exposure to culture filtrate prompted hyphal alterations in A. solani, including bulging, combining it with the fungicide caused more severe hyphal damage with continuous bulging. Surfactins and fengycins, two lipopeptide groups, were isolated and identified as the main compounds in two fractions using LC-ESI-MS. Although the surfactin-containing fraction failed to inhibit growth, the fengycin-containing fraction, alone and in combination with chlorothalonil, restricted mycelial development, producing severe hyphal deformations with formation of chlamydospores. A pot experiment combining strain NM4, applied as a broth culture, with fungicide, at half the recommended concentration, resulted in a significant reduction in potato early blight severity. Our results indicate the feasibility of an integrated approach for the management of early blight in potato that can reduce fungicide application rates, promoting a healthy ecosystem in agriculture.
