Abstract	Background and purpose: The efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy methods may differ depending on the characteristics of the occlusion. The purpose of this study was to compare the recanalization efficacy and treatment outcome of a stent retriever versus contact aspiration in patients with acute basilar artery occlusion according to the angiographic characteristics of the occlusion. Materials and methods: One hundred sixty-one patients with acute basilar artery occlusion who underwent mechanical thrombectomy were retrospectively analyzed. A stent retriever was compared with contact aspiration thrombectomy according to the clot meniscus sign, defined as a meniscoid/tram-track-like sidewall contrast opacification of the thrombus. A propensity score matching analysis was performed. Clinical/angiographic characteristics and treatment and clinical outcomes were compared. Results: Overall, a stent retriever ( Conclusions: The efficacy of the mechanical thrombectomy techniques may differ according to the angiographic characteristics of occlusion in patients with basilar artery occlusion. Contact aspiration may be more effective in terms of recanalization compared with a stent retriever in patients with the clot meniscus sign.

Abstract	Robotic rectal surgery is not a rare event for colorectal surgeons any more. Even patients with colorectal diseases obtain information through the mass media and are asking surgeons about robotic surgery. Since laparoscopic rectal surgery has proved to have some benefits compared to open rectal surgery, many surgeons became interested in robotic rectal surgery. Some of them have reported the advantages and disadvantages of robotic rectal surgery over the last decade. This review will report on the outcomes of robotic rectal surgery. Robotic rectal surgery requires a longer operation time than laparoscopic or open surgery, but many authors reduced the gap as they were accustomed to the robotic system and used various additional techniques. The high cost for purchasing and maintaining the robotic system is still a problem, though. However, except for this reason, robotic rectal surgery shows comparable and even superior results in some parameters than laparoscopic or open surgery. They include pathologic and functional outcomes as well as short-term outcomes such as complication rates, length of hospital stay, time to recover normal bowel function or first flatus, time to start diet, and postoperative pain. Moreover, studies on oncologic outcomes show acceptable results. Robotic rectal surgery is safe and feasible and has a number of benefits. Therefore, it can be an alternative option to conventional laparoscopic and open surgery with strict indications.

Abstract	Background and purpose: Data on adjunctive intra-arterial thrombolysis during mechanical thrombectomy for refractory thrombus are sparse. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of local intra-arterial urokinase as an adjunct to mechanical thrombectomy for refractory large-vessel occlusion. Materials and methods: We retrospectively evaluated patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy for anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion between January 2016 and December 2019. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the use of intra-arterial urokinase as an adjunctive therapy during mechanical thrombectomy for refractory thrombus: the urokinase and nonurokinase groups. Herein, refractory thrombus was defined as the target occlusion with minimal reperfusion (TICI 0 or 1) despite >3 attempts with conventional mechanical thrombectomy. The baseline characteristics, procedural outcomes, and clinical outcome were compared between the 2 groups. Results: One hundred fourteen cases of refractory thrombus were identified. A total of 45 and 69 patients were in the urokinase and the nonurokinase groups, respectively. The urokinase group compared with the nonurokinase group showed a higher rate of successful reperfusion (82.2% versus 63.8%, Conclusions: The use of local intra-arterial urokinase as an adjunct to mechanical thrombectomy may be an effective and safe method that provides better recanalization than the conventional mechanical thrombectomy for refractory thrombus in patients with embolic large-vessel occlusion.

Abstract	Background and purpose: Data on SAH after M2 mechanical thrombectomy are limited. We aimed to determine the prevalence of sulcal SAH after mechanical thrombectomy for M2 occlusion, its associated predictors, and the resulting clinical outcome. Materials and methods: The study retrospectively reviewed the data of patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy for isolated M2 occlusion. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the presence of sulcal SAH after M2 mechanical thrombectomy. Angiographic and clinical outcomes were compared. Multivariable analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of sulcal SAH and unfavorable outcome (90-day mRS, 3-6). Results: Of the 209 enrolled patients, sulcal SAH was observed in 33 (15.8%) patients. The sulcal SAH group showed a higher rate of distal M2 occlusion (69.7% versus 22.7%), a higher of rate of superior division occlusion (63.6% versus 43.8%), and a higher M2 angulation (median, 128° versus 106°) than the non-sulcal SAH group. Of the 33 sulcal SAH cases, 23 (66.7%) were covert without visible intraprocedural contrast extravasation. Distal M2 occlusion (OR, 12.04; 95% CI, 4.56-35.67; Conclusions: After mechanical thrombectomy for M2 occlusion, sulcal SAH was not uncommon and occurred more frequently with distal M2 occlusion, superior division, acute M2 angulation, and multiple thrombectomy passes (≥3). The impact of covert sulcal SAH was mostly benign and was not associated with an unfavorable outcome.

Abstract	Aims: This study examined whether dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitor use is beneficial or harmful to diabetic retinopathy (DR) compared with other glucose-lowering agents in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: From a population-based cohort provided by the National Health Insurance Service in Korea, 67,743 adults with T2D were identified as having been treated with oral glucose-lowering agents between 2008 and 2013. Matching (1:1) was performed for two groups comparing ever-use (cases) and never-use (controls) of DPP-4 inhibitors (n=14,522 in each group). Cox regression analyses were used to assess risk of the following DR events: vitreous haemorrhage; vitrectomy or photocoagulation; intravitreal agent use; and blindness. Results: During a median follow-up of 28.4 (14.0-45.2) months, there were 305 (in controls) and 342 (in cases) composite DR events. DPP-4 inhibitor ever-use was not associated with overall risk of composite DR events [adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 1.08, 95% CI: 0.93-1.26] compared with never-use, nor was the risk of each DR outcome increased with DPP-4 inhibitor therapy either. However, DPP-4 inhibitor administration for<12 months was associated with a greater risk of composite DR events (adjusted HR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.09-1.57) compared with other glucose-lowering agents over the same treatment period. Conclusion: In comparison to other oral glucose-lowering agents, DPP-4 inhibitor treatment did not increase overall risk of DR. However, DPP-4 inhibitors may be associated with an increased risk of retinopathy events early in the treatment phase.

Abstract	Background and purpose: Transoral robotic surgery is an emerging strategy for treating human papillomavirus-positive cancers, but the role of MR imaging in predicting the surgical outcome has not been established. We aimed to identify preoperative MR imaging characteristics that predispose the outcome of transoral robotic surgery toward an insecure (positive or close) surgical margin in human papillomavirus-positive tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma. Materials and methods: Between December 2012 and May 2019, sixty-nine patients underwent transoral robotic surgery at our institution. Among these, 29 who were diagnosed with human papillomavirus-positive tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma, did not receive neoadjuvant treatment, underwent preoperative 3T MR imaging, and had postoperative pathologic reports and were included in this retrospective study. Two neuroradiologists evaluated the preoperative MR imaging scans to determine the tumor spread through the pharyngeal constrictor muscle using a 5-point scale: 1, normal constrictor; 2, bulging constrictor; 3, thinning constrictor; 4, obscured constrictor; and 5, tumor protrusion into the parapharyngeal fat. The risk of an insecure surgical margin (involved or <1 mm) according to the MR imaging scores was predicted using logistic regression with the Firth correction. Results: The interobserver agreement for the MR imaging scores was excellent (κ = 0.955, Conclusions: The pre-transoral robotic surgery MR imaging scoring system for the pharyngeal constrictor muscle is a promising predictor of the surgical margin in human papillomavirus-positive tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract	Aim: Despite the recognized association between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and Parkinson's disease (PD), the implications of glycaemic variability for patients with PD are as yet unknown. For this reason, our study assessed the future risk of incident PD according to visit-to-visit fasting plasma glucose (FPG) variability, as calculated by standard deviation (FPG-SD), coefficient variance (FPG-CV) and variability independent of the mean (FPG-VIM). Methods: Using the Korean National Health Insurance Service Health Screening Cohort, 131,625 Korean adults without diabetes were followed. They were divided into a midlife group (age<65 years) and an elderly group (age≥65 years) throughout a median follow-up of 8.4 years. Results: Adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using multivariable Cox proportional-hazards analysis. In the midlife group, HRs for incident PD in the highest quartile of FPG variability (as measured by SD, CV and VIM) were 1.37 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.09-1.73], 1.33 (95% CI: 1.06-1.68) and 1.35 (95% CI: 1.07-1.70), respectively, vs the lowest variability quartile group. However, while incident PD did not differ according to FPG variability in the elderly group, Kaplan-Meier curves of PD probability in the midlife group showed a progressively increasing risk of PD the higher the FPG variability. According to a multivariable adjusted model, every 1-SD unit increment in glycaemic variability was associated with a 9% higher risk of incident PD in the midlife group. Conclusion: Increased long-term glycaemic variability may be a precipitating risk factor for developing PD in the midlife population without diabetes.

Abstract	To obtain the best results in the treatment of patients with Angle Class III malocclusion, the etiologies of the malocclusion should first be clarified, and then an appropriate treatment modality should be decided. Angle Class III malocclusions in 120 subjects who had orthognathic surgery were analyzed with cephalometrics and facial photos and classified into 3 categories based on the abnormalities of the maxilla. Type A is true mandibular prognathism, which means that the maxilla is normal but the mandible is overgrown. Type B is characteristic of the overgrown maxilla and mandible with anterior crossbite. Type C indicates a hypoplastic maxilla with anterior crossbite. Treatment modalities should be differentially decided according to this new classification of Angle Class III malocclusions.

Abstract	In order to investigate the optimal conditions for raffinose synthesis, α-galactosidase was purified from Absidia corymbifera IFO8084 with a recovery yield of approximately 8.1% (8.36 mg). The molecular weight of the wild-type α-galactosidase was about 83 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The native molecular mass of the enzyme was approximately 330 kDa by gel filtration chromatography, indicating that α-galactosidase from A. corymbifera IFO8084 is a homotetrameric enzyme. The purified enzyme displayed optimal enzyme activity at pH 4.5 and 60℃. When the purified α-galactosidase was incubated in a substrate solution of sucrose and D-galactose for 48 hr at 37℃, raffinose was synthesized and was confirmed by thin layer chromatography (TLC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and ∨13C-nuclear magnetic resonance (∨13C-NMR) spectrometer analysis. Maximum rates of conversion were observed with 1.67 M galactose, 2.04 M sucrose, and 100 U α-galactosidase at pH 6.0 and 70℃. Under the optimized conditions, the overall conversion ratio was 10%(w/v), representing 2.5 times the synthesis yield that would be possible without the optimized conditions.

Abstract	AIM: To evaluate the impact of diabetes education provided to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in non-controlled studies (“real-world conditions”) on quality of care, resource consumption and conditions of employment. METHODS: This cross-sectional study and longitudinal follow-up describe the data (demographic and socioeconomic profiles, clinical characteristics, treatment of hyperglycaemia and associated cardiovascular risk factors, resource consumption) collected during the second phase (2006) of the International Diabetes Management Practices Study (IDMPS). Patients received diabetes education directly from the practice nurse, dietitian or educator, or were referred to ad hoc group-education programmes; all programmes emphasized healthy lifestyle changes, self-care and active participation in disease control and treatment. Educated vs non-educated T2DM patients (n=5692 in each group), paired by age, gender and diabetes duration, were randomly recruited for the IDMPS by participating primary-care physicians from 27 countries in Eastern Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa. Outcome measures included clinical (body weight, height, waist circumference, blood pressure, foot evaluation), metabolic (HbA₁c levels, blood lipid profile) and biochemical control measures. Treatment goals were defined according to American Diabetes Association guidelines. RESULTS: T2DM patients’ education significantly improved the percentage of patients achieving target values set by international guidelines. Educated patients increased their insulin use and self-care performance, had a lower rate of chronic complications and a modest increase in cost of care, and probably higher salaries and slightly better productivity. CONCLUSION: Diabetes education is an efficient tool for improving care outcomes without having a major impact on healthcare costs.
