    Abstract Objective: In patients with type 2 diabetes who were inadequately controlled with metformin and sulphonylurea, we compared the glucose-lowering efficacy, cardiometabolic parameters and safety of two drugs, ipragliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, and sitagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with 7.5%-9.0% glycated haemoglobin treated with metformin and sulphonylurea were randomly assigned to ipragliflozin (50 mg, n = 70) or sitagliptin (100 mg, n = 70) therapy for 24 weeks. Measures of glycaemic control, fatty liver indices, other metabolic parameters and subclinical atherosclerosis were compared by a paired t-test before and after 24 weeks of treatment.
    Results: Mean glycated haemoglobin levels decreased from 8.5% to 7.5% in the ipragliflozin group and from 8.5% to 7.8% in the sitagliptin group, resulting in a 0.34% between-group difference (95% confidence interval, 0.10%-0.43%, p = .088). Fasting and postprandial 2-h glucose levels also showed a similar trend, with a greater reduction with ipragliflozin therapy. An increase of over 70% in ketone levels and a decrease in whole body and abdominal fat masses were observed with ipragliflozin treatment. Fatty liver indices also improved with ipragliflozin treatment. Despite no difference in carotid intima-media thickness and ankle-brachial index, ipragliflozin therapy improved flow-mediated vasodilation, reflecting endothelial function, while sitagliptin did not. The safety profile did not differ between the two groups.
    Conclusions: Ipragliflozin add-on therapy can be a viable option for better glycaemic control with multiple vascular and metabolic benefits in patients with type 2 diabetes who are inadequately controlled with metformin and sulphonylurea.

    Abstract Background: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an acute febrile disease caused by bites from ticks infected with the SFTS virus. In Korea, SFTS patients are observed nationwide, including Jeju Island, but there are currently no data regarding the national prevalence of SFTS, including that of residents of 16 cities and provinces. This study aimed to investigate the seroprevalence of SFTS in Korea.
    Methodology/principal findings: A total of 1500 participants were selected through random sampling from the 2014-2015 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). An indirect immunofluorescence antibody assay (IFA) was performed to assess immunoglobulin (Ig) G and IgM antibody titers against SFTS virus.
    Results: Of the 1500 participants, 55 (3.7%) tested positive for IgG and 1 (0.1%) tested positive for IgM, with antibody titer of ≥ 1:32. Approximately 3.9% and 2.5% of participants in urban and rural areas, respectively, had a positive titer of ≥ 1:32. There was a significant correlation between SFTS incidence per 100,000 population and seroprevalence using an IgG titer ≥ 1:64 as the cut-off value.
    Conclusion: This is the first study to investigate national SFTS seroprevalence in all 16 cities and provinces representing Korea. Our study will also provide useful guidelines for the development of preventive measures against SFTS.

    Abstract Background: Phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA) are endocrine-disrupting chemicals and may cause immunological disorders in children. Therefore, according to the region, we investigated urinary phthalates and BPA levels and the relationship between urinary phthalate, aeroallergen sensitization, and eosinophil count during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
    Methods: In total, 203 schoolchildren (134 residential and 69 industrial) aged 7-10 years were enrolled between July 2021 and July 2022. The BPA, metabolites of four high-molecular-weight phthalates (Σ4HMWP) and three low-molecular-weight phthalates (Σ3LMWP), were measured in the urine samples. Total eosinophil count and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) were also measured along with the skin prick test.
    Results: The two groups had no differences in terms of BPA. The industrial group had significantly more plastic container usage, and there was a difference in the Σ3LMWP (
    Conclusion: Exposure to phthalates was significantly associated with eosinophil count but not with aeroallergen sensitization or vitamin D. Therefore, reducing the use of plastic containers may effectively prevent exposure to phthalates and reduce Th2 cell-mediated inflammation in children.

    Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder worldwide and a leading cause of pain and disability. However, the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis has not been elucidated. Krüppel-like factor (KLF)-5 is involved in several biological processes, including inflammation and cell differentiation, but its role in OA has not been evaluated. In this study, we investigated the role of KLF-5 in chondrocyte differentiation. KLF-5 overexpression in chondrocytes induced a loss of type II collagen expression and sulfated proteoglycan synthesis at the transcriptional and translational levels. Based on immunofluorescence staining, the ectopic expression of KLF-5 reduced type II collagen expression. In contrast, with KLF-5-transfected cells, KLF-5 siRNA transfection-induced type II expression also blocked dedifferentiation caused by the overexpression of KLF-5. In zebra fish, KLF-5 reduced the sulfated proteoglycan synthesis of ceratobranchial cartilage. Our results suggest that KLF-5 plays a pivotal role in the dedifferentiation of rabbit articular cartilage and zebra fish, providing a basis for therapeutic strategy for osteoarthritis aimed at controlling cartilage destruction.

    Abstract Universal varicella vaccination (UVV), as a single dose to children aged 12 to 15 months, was introduced in Korea in 2005. A seroprevalence study is required to upgrade this UVV strategy. The fluorescent antibody to membrane antigen (FAMA) assay is the gold standard for varicella-zoster virus (VZV) immunity testing. However, no standard operating procedure (SOP) has been developed for the FAMA assay, in which either glutaraldehyde or acetone may be used for VZV-infected cell fixation. In this observational study, we aimed to investigate the age-specific seroprevalence in Korean children and adults. Additionally, with glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA) as the reference, we evaluated the performance of the FAMA assay using acetone-fixed cells. Four hundred sera were analyzed using the FAMA assay (acetone-fixed cells) and gpELISA, comprising 50 subjects from each age category. In the FAMA assay, the seropositivity rate decreased from 82.0% in the 1 to 4-year-old group to 58.0% in the 5 to 9-year-old group (95% confidence interval [CI]: 69.2-90.2 and 44.2-70.6, respectively; P = .009), while that in the gpELISA decreased from 80.0% to 52.0% (95% CI: 67.0-88.8 and 38.5-65.2, respectively; P = .003). In both methods, the seropositivity rates ranged from 95% to 100% in the population aged ≥ 20 years. We observed a significant correlation between the 2 methods, with a correlation coefficient of 0.795 (P < .001). In receiver operating characteristic analysis using the gpELISA results as a reference, the area under the curve for the FAMA assay was very high at 0.995 (95% CI: 0.990-1.000; P < .001). Compared to the gpELISA, the sensitivity, specificity, and kappa value of the FAMA assay were 99.4%, 79.3%, and 0.84 (nearly perfect), respectively. The seropositivity rate of the 5 to 9-year-old group indicated waning immunity over time and supported implementation of a second dose in the UVV program. The results of the FAMA assay were comparable to those of the gpELISA. Although further study is needed to standardize procedures, our results suggest that the FAMA assay using acetone-fixed cells can be used widely and can be included in a universal FAMA assay SOP.

    Abstract Background: The SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern exhibit distinct features in terms of transmissibility and virulence. This study compared the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 in children during pre-Delta, Delta and Omicron waves.
    Methods: Medical records of 1163 children <19 years of age with COVID-19 admitted to a designated hospital in Seoul, South Korea, were analyzed. Clinical and laboratory findings during the pre-Delta (March 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021; 330 children), Delta (July 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021; 527 children) and Omicron (January 1, 2022, to May 10, 2022; 306 children) waves were compared.
    Results: Children during the Delta wave were older and had a higher proportion of fever ≥5 days and pneumonia than children during the pre-Delta and Omicron waves. The Omicron wave was characterized by younger age and a higher proportion of fever ≥39.0 °C, febrile seizure and croup. More children <2 years of age and adolescents aged 10 to <19 years experienced neutropenia and lymphopenia, respectively, during the Delta wave. Children aged 2 to <10 years had a higher incidence of leukopenia and lymphopenia during the Omicron wave.
    Conclusions: Distinct features of COVID-19 were observed in children during the Delta and Omicron surges. Continuous scrutiny of the manifestations of variants of concern is needed for appropriate public health response and management.

    Abstract Tuberculous pericarditis is an extrapulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis that is most commonly associated with pericardial thickening, effusion, and calcification. We present a case of tuberculous pericarditis mimicking a malignant pericardial tumor in a 77-year-old male. CT revealed an irregular and nodular pericardial thickening. MRI revealed high signal intensity on T1-weighted fat-suppressed images and peripheral rim enhancement after gadolinium administration. MRI can be helpful in determining the differential diagnoses in cases of tuberculous pericarditis with nonspecific imaging findings.
