    Abstract Two species of the squat lobster family Munidopsidae, Munidopsis albatrossae Pequegnat & Pequegnat, 1973 and M. pycnopoda Baba, 2005, are reported from Taiwan for the first time based on specimens collected from lower bathyal depths. The Taiwanese material of M. pycnopoda also represents the first record of the species from the Pacific Ocean and greatly extends this species’ geographical range from the western Indian Ocean to western Pacific. The giant Munidopsis specimen from Taiwan is identified as M. albatrossae mainly by DNA barcoding even though M. albatrossae and M. aries (A. Milne-Edwards, 1880) are both morphologically and genetically extremely similar.

    Abstract Background: Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is an important cytokine in the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis (AD) and in the progression of COVID-19. Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2, is expressed in epidermal keratinocytes. Whether IL-33 could regulate the expression of ACE2 mechanistically in keratinocytes warrants investigation.
    Objective: We questioned whether the ACE2 expression is increased in AD skin. We also questioned whether ACE2 is expressed in keratinocytes; if so, would its expression be enhanced mechanistically by IL-33.
    Methods: We measured and compared the expression of ACE2 in skin from patients with AD, patients with psoriasis, and healthy controls using immunohistochemistry. Flow cytometry, immunofluorescent exam, and quantitative RT-PCR were used for measuring the ACE2 expression in cultured keratinocytes treated with IL-33 and IL-17. Blocking antibodies were utilized to study the intracellular signaling pathways governing the ACE2 expression using cytokines.
    Results: The results showed that the ACE2 expression is increased in AD compared with that in healthy skin and psoriasis. In primary epidermal keratinocytes, ACE2 is constitutively expressed. IL-33 induces a time-dependent increase in ACE2 expression in cultured keratinocytes through quantitative PCR, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescent examinations. Furthermore, pretreatment of an ERK inhibitor, but not a STAT3 inhibitor, eliminated the increases in ACE2 by IL-33 in keratinocytes, indicating that IL-33 enhances ACE2 expression through ERK on epidermal keratinocytes.
    Conclusion: This is the first study to reveal that IL-33 enhances ACE2 expression on keratinocytes via ERK. Although further mechanistic studies are required, the increased ACE2 expression in IL-33 might have a biological implication on the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in patients with AD.

    Abstract Background: The placement of nasogastric tubes (NGTs) in abdominal surgery has been adopted for decades to attenuate ileus and prevent aspiration pneumonia. In the recent era, the guidelines recommend not using NGT routinely, and even in pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), immediate removal of NGT in operating rooms (ORs) was suggested. However, the clinical outcome and safety of abandoning NGT during the pre-PD and intra-PD periods remain unknown.
    Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective review on adult PD patients aged between 20 and 75 years from 2013 to 2022. The study population was grouped into the NGT group (NGT was placed before PD and immediately removed in the ORs) and the non-NGT group (NGT was not placed preoperatively). Safety was evaluated by the number of adverse events. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the need of NGT insertion in ORs among PD patients.
    Results: The case numbers in the NGT and non-NGT groups were 391 and 578, respectively. No case in the non-NGT group needed the intraoperative insertion of NGT. The rate of pulmonary complications was 2.3% in the NGT group compared to 1.6% in the non-NGT group (P = 0.400). Furthermore, there were no significant differences in terms of rates of major complications (12.8% vs. 9.3%, P = 0.089) or mortality (1.0% vs. 1.0%, P =0.980) between the two groups. The rates of the postoperative insertion of NGT in the NGT and non-NGT groups were 2.6% and 2.8% (P = 0.840), respectively.
    Conclusion: For selected PD patients, the placement of NGT during pre-PD and intra-PD periods may be safely omitted. This primary study is considered the first foundation stone in the extension of the element of no NGT in PD.

    Abstract Although the incidence and mortality rates associated with tuberculosis (TB) have been decreasing in many countries, TB remains a major public health concern. Obligatory facial masking and reduced health-care capacity because of COVID-19 may substantially influence TB transmission and care. The Global Tuberculosis Report 2021 published by the World Health Organization indicated a TB rebound at the end of 2020, which coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic. We explored this rebound phenomenon in Taiwan by investigating whether TB incidence and mortality are affected by COVID-19 because of their common route of transmission. In addition, we investigated whether the incidence of TB varies across regions with different incidences of COVID-19. Data (2010-2021) regarding annual new cases of TB and multidrug-resistant TB were collected from the Taiwan Centers for Disease Control. TB incidence and mortality were assessed in Taiwan's seven administrative regions. Over the last decade, TB incidence decreased continually, even during 2020 and 2021, the years coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, TB incidence remained high in regions with low COVID-19 incidence. However, the overall decreasing trends of TB incidence and mortality remained unchanged during the pandemic. Facial masking and social distancing may prevent COVID-19 transmission but exhibit limited efficacy in reducing TB transmission. Thus, during health-related policymaking, policymakers must consider TB rebound, even in the post-COVID-19 era.
