    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the knowledge structure of health information (HI) for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
    Methods: Keywords or meaningful morphemes from HI presented on five health-related websites (HRWs) of one national HI institute and four hospitals, as well as HI needs among patients presented in nine literature, were reviewed, refined, and analyzed using text network analysis and their co-occurrence matrix was generated. Two networks of 61 and 35 keywords, respectively, were analyzed for degree, closeness, and betweenness centrality, as well as betweenness community analysis.
    Results: The most common keywords pertaining to HI on HRWs were lung, inhaler, smoking, dyspnea, and infection, focusing COPD treatment. In contrast, HI needs among patients were lung, medication, support, symptom, and smoking cessation, expanding to disease management. Two common sub-topic groups in HI on HRWs were COPD overview and medication administration, whereas three common sub-topic groups in HI needs among patients in the literature were COPD overview, self-management, and emotional management.
    Conclusion: The knowledge structure of HI on HRWs is medically oriented, while patients need supportive information. Thus, the support system for self-management and emotional management on HRWs must be informed according to the structure of patients' needs for HI. Healthcare providers should consider presenting COPD patient-centered information on HRWs.

    Abstract Background: There are limited data on the rates of the waning of antibody levels after two-dose and booster vaccination according to the different platforms of COVID-19 vaccines.
    Methods: We enrolled healthcare workers (HCWs) in a tertiary care hospital who received homologous two-dose vaccination, followed by a homologous or heterologous booster mRNA vaccine. SARS-CoV-2 S1-specific IgG was measured using ELISA. A linear mixed regression model was used to compare the slope from the peak antibody titre to the lowest antibody titres 3 months after vaccination.
    Results: A total of 113 HCWs (BNT162b2 (
    Conclusions: Two-dose homologous ChAdOx1 vaccination or homologous mRNA-1273 booster appears to induce more-durable antibody responses than 2-dose homologous mRNA vaccination, homologous BNT162b2 booster, or 2-dose ChAdOx1 followed by BNT62b2 booster, although our findings are based on the relatively short term (3-month) follow-up after the vaccinations and the evaluation of the slopes from different antibody peak levels. Further studies on long-term durability depending on the types of vaccines are needed.

    Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma with a high rate of metastasis. MCC is rarely suspected during clinical examination, thus requiring biopsy to establish a pathologic diagnosis. In addition, MCC sometimes occurs in double primary cancers. Although there have been reviews on double primary cancers, only a few cases involving MCC have been described. Herein, we report a case of a 54-year-old female patient who presented to our clinic with a diagnosis of earlobe MCC following an excisional biopsy performed by another clinic. Further evaluation, including chest imaging, revealed a mass in the lung. The patient underwent a wide excision of the right earlobe, and video-assisted thoracic surgery on the lung. Pathology confirmed MCC in the right earlobe and adenocarcinoma in the lung. The patient underwent postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy. Up to this point, 3 years after the surgery, there has been no evidence of recurrence.

    Abstract The amylosucrase (ASase, EC 2.4.1.4) utilizes sucrose as the sole substrate to catalyze multifunctional reactions. It can naturally synthesize α-1,4-linked glucans such as amylose as well as sucrose isomers with more favorable properties than sucrose with a lower intestinal digestibility and non-cariogenic properties. The amino acid sequence of the asase gene from Deinococcus cellulosilyticus (DceAS) exhibits low homology with those of other ASases from other Deinococcus species. In this study, we cloned and expressed DceAS and demonstrated its high activity at pH 6 and pH 8 and maintained stability. It showed higher polymerization activity at pH 6 than at pH 8, but similar isomerization activity and produced more turanose and trehalulose at pH 6 than at pH 8 and produced more isomaltulose at pH 8. Furthermore, the molecular weight of DceAS was 226.6 kDa at pH 6 and 145.5 kDa at pH 8, indicating that it existed as a trimer and dimer, respectively under those conditions. Additionally, circular dichroism spectra showed that the DceAS secondary structure was different at pH 6 and pH 8. These differences in reaction products at different pHs can be harnessed to naturally produce sucrose alternatives that are more beneficial to human health.

    Abstract In response to the Mpox domestic epidemic, South Korea initiated a nationwide vaccination program in May 2023, administering a 0.1 mL intradermal dose of JYNNEOS (Modified Vaccinia Ankara vaccine, Bavarian Nordic) to a high-risk group. To investigate the adverse reactions after intradermal JYNNEOS vaccination, an anonymous online survey was conducted at the National Medical Center from May 22 to July 31, 2023. Overall, 142 individuals responded. Over 80% of the respondents reported local reactions of predominantly mild severity. The predominant local reactions were pruritus, redness, and swelling; their incidence rates after the first dose were 66.2%, 48.1%, and 49.4%, respectively; the corresponding rates after the second dose were 69.2%, 60.6%, and 53.8%. Fewer respondents reported systemic symptoms. The most common systemic symptom was fatigue, the incidence rates of which after the first and second doses were 37.7% and 24.6%, respectively. Overall, the intradermally administered JYNNEOS vaccine appeared well tolerated.

    Abstract Since severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was noted to cause coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in 2019, there have been many trials to develop vaccines against the virus. Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine as a type of the vaccine has been developed and commercialized rapidly, but there was not enough time to verify the long-term safety. An 82-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency room with dyspnea accompanied by stridor three days after the 3rd COVID-19 mRNA vaccination (Comirnaty, Pfizer-BioNTech, USA). The patient was diagnosed with bilateral vocal fold paralysis (VFP) by laryngoscope. Respiratory distress was improved after the intubation and tracheostomy in sequence. The brain, chest, and neck imaging tests, serological tests, cardiological analysis, and immunological tests were performed to evaluate the cause of bilateral VFP. However, no definite cause was found except for the precedent vaccination. Because bilateral VFP can lead to a fatal condition, a quick evaluation is necessary in consideration of VFP when dyspnea with stridor occurs after vaccination.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the association between mismatch repair (MMR) protein expression and clinico-pathologic outcomes in patients with endometrioid endometrial cancer (EC).
    Materials and methods: A retrospective review of the clinico-pathologic outcomes was performed on patients who were diagnosed with EC and had results of MMR protein immunohistochemistry. MMR-deficient (MMR-d) was defined as absence of expression in any of the 4 MMR proteins (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2). Demographics, pathologic variables, and survival outcomes were compared according to the MMR status.
    Results: A total of 193 EC patients with available MMR expression data were included, of whom 163 patients had endometrioid type EC. Overall, 44 patients (27.0%) were classified as MMR-d. Compared with MMR-proficient (MMR-p) group, MMR-d group was associated with more frequent lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI, p = 0.001). MMR-d was also related with higher risk of lymph node (LN) metastasis in endometrioid type EC (p = 0.008), especially para-aortic LN metastasis. During the median follow-up period of 19.1 months (1-44.5), MMR-d group, especially MLH1/PMS2 subgroup, showed a tendency of reduced PFS (p = 0.036 and p = 0.008, respectively). On Cox regression analysis, however, LN metastasis remained as the only independent risk factor for PFS (p = 0.004) in endometrioid EC, and MLH1/PMS2 loss showed a marginally significant association (p = 0.054).
    Conclusion: Our findings of the associations between MMR deficiency and poor prognostic factors, such as LVSI and LN metastasis, may suggest the prognostic value of MMR status in EC and need further prospective validation studies.

    Abstract Amylosucrase (ASase) efficiently biosynthesizes α-glucoside using flavonoids as acceptor molecules and sucrose as a donor molecule. Here, ASase from Deinococcus wulumuqiensis (DwAS) biosynthesized more naringenin α-glucoside (NαG) with sucrose and naringenin as donor and acceptor molecules, respectively, than other ASases from Deinococcus sp. The biotransformation rate of DwAS to NαG was 21.3% compared to 7.1-16.2% for other ASases. Docking simulations showed that the active site of DwAS was more accessible to naringenin than those of others. The 217th valine in DwAS corresponded to the 221
