    Abstract Introduction: This study was conducted to explore factors associated with smoking cessation in male smokers with cardiovascular disease (CVD) or cancer, the two leading causes of death worldwide, and to compare them with quitting factors in smokers without the two diseases.
    Methods: This is a secondary dataset analysis of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), nationally representative data from 2008-2019 (excluding 2013-2014), and included 12998 men without CVD or cancer (group without CVD or cancer), 1027 men with CVD (CVD group), and 616 men with cancer (cancer group). A Wald test with multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted.
    Results: The quitting success rates in the CVD and cancer groups were consistently higher than those in the group without CVD or cancer. Old age and willpower in the CVD group, and old age and being married in the cancer group were associated with quitting success. Secondhand smoking and methods of quitting other than willpower were related to quitting failure in both groups. When interaction effects between the groups were examined, household income was the only factor associated with successful cessation in the group without CVD or cancer (AOR=1.17, 1.18, and 1.40, among the second, third, and fourth highest income quartiles, respectively; p for interaction=0.023). Higher smoking amounts (AOR=0.85; p<0.001) and poor health perception (AOR=0.64; p=0.035) were associated with quitting failure in the group without CVD or cancer. However, no significant factor was detected related to smoking cessation in both the CVD and cancer groups when the interaction effect was investigated.
    Conclusions: The quitting success rates in the CVD and cancer groups were higher, but no disease-specific quitting factors were identified. Therefore, being diagnosed with CVD or cancer itself could be inferred as a motive for quitting smoking.

    Abstract Introduction: Adverse effects of smoking on kidney function have been demonstrated in both general populations and in populations with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, quitting smoking can have a significant impact on the mortality and disease progression of CKD. This study examined and compared factors associated with quitting status of smoking, in patients with and without CKD, among Korean adult male smokers, using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2008 to 2019, excluding 2013.
    Methods: Wald test with multiple logistic regression was performed to investigate factors associated with quitting smoking in both CKD and non-CKD groups, along with the interaction effects between groups.
    Results: Of the 15747 eligible individuals, 909 had CKD, of whom 703 (weighted percentage: 74.4%) were quitters. In the non-CKD group, 8393 (weighted percentage: 50.4%) succeeded in quitting. Regular exercise was the only factor associated with quitting in both groups. The adjusted odd ratios with confidence intervals were 1.29 (95% CI: 1.17-1.42) and 2.84 (95% CI: 1.52-5.31) in the non-CKD and CKD groups, respectively (interaction p=0.0153). Unlike in the CKD group, marriage and higher systolic blood pressure were also associated with quitting, and lifetime smoking amount and secondhand smoke exposure at home were negatively associated with smoking cessation in the non-CKD group.
    Conclusions: Exercise was the only factor associated with quitting smoking in the CKD group.

    Abstract Mounting evidence suggests mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) suppress CD4+ T-cell activation, but whether MSCs directly regulate activation and expansion of allogeneic T cells has not been fully deciphered. Here, we identified that both human and murine MSCs constitutively express ALCAM, a cognate ligand for CD6 receptors on T cells, and investigated its immunomodulatory function using in vivo and in vitro experiments. Our controlled coculture assays demonstrated that ALCAM-CD6 pathway is critical for MSCs to exert its suppressive function on early CD4+CD25- T-cell activation. Moreover, neutralizing ALCAM or CD6 results in the abrogation of MSC-mediated suppression of T-cell expansion. Using a murine model of delayed-type hypersensitivity response to alloantigen, we show that ALCAM-silenced MSCs lose the capacity to suppress the generation of alloreactive IFNγ-secreting T cells. Consequently, MSCs, following ALCAM knockdown, failed to prevent allosensitization and alloreactive T-cell-mediated tissue damage.

    Abstract Epimedium koreanum Nakai (EKN) is a popular plant in Korean and Chinese medicine for treating a variety of ailments. The aqueous extract of EKN has a significant inhibitory impact on influenza A virus (IAV) infection by directly blocking viral attachment and having a virucidal effect, according to this study. Using fluorescent microscopy and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) with a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged Influenza A/PR/8/34 virus, we examined the effect of EKN on viral infection. By viral infection, EKN strongly suppresses GFP expression, and at a dosage of 100 µg/mL, EKN decreased GFP expression by up to 90% of the untreated infected control. Immunofluorescence and Western blot analyses against influenza viral proteins revealed that EKN decreased influenza viral protein expression in a dose-dependent manner. EKN inhibited the H1N1 influenza virus's hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA), preventing viral attachment to cells. Furthermore, EKN had a virucidal impact and inhibited the cytopathic effects of H1N1, H3N2 and influenza B virus infection. Finally, our findings show that EKN has the potential to be developed as a natural viral inhibitor against influenza virus infection.

    Abstract Background: Angiosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor. So far, only about 42 cases of angiosarcoma involving the eyelids have been reported. Eyelid angiosarcoma occurs more frequently in elderly Caucasian males and is prone to misdiagnosis. We present a case report in a young Asian male patient with eyelid angiosarcoma that was misdiagnosed as a chalazion.
    Case presentation: A 46-year-old South Korean male with no underlying disease had a right lower lid mass. The lesion was initially misdiagnosed as a chalazion at a local clinic, but a diagnosis of eyelid angiosarcoma was made after the first biopsy trial. PET-CT was performed to ensure that there was no metastasis in the whole body. Surgical excision with enough surgical margin was used alone for treatment and reconstruction was performed with a tarsoconjunctival advancement flap (modified Hughes procedure), which helped ensure good cosmesis. No recurrence was observed 4 years and 5 months after the surgery.
    Conclusions: The current study presents the first case of chalazion-mimicked eyelid angiosarcoma in a young Asian male aged under 50 years. This case shows that even if a benign eyelid disease is suspected in a young patient, an incisional biopsy must be performed to confirm whether the lesion is malignant. Since the prognosis is good for the case of eyelid angiosarcoma, if there is no clear evidence of distal metastasis, surgical resection should be performed with an enough safety margin.

    Abstract Incidental pulmonary nodules detected via computed tomography (CT) are usually small, solid nodules (diameters less than 8 mm) that are likely benign and are difficult to biopsy. Additional features of the benignity of these small nodules may help determine the need and periodicity of further follow-up and should be identified. This study was conducted to examine the clinical factors associated with benign solid pulmonary nodules measuring less than 8 mm in diameter. This retrospective study enrolled participants who underwent low-dose chest CT scans for 3 consecutive years during routine health check-ups at a university hospital in Korea. We chose a 2-year study period to ensure that the nodule(s) were benign, which meant there was no interval change over this period. Participants were stratified into two groups: no nodule (

    Abstract Lilii Bulbus, the bulb of tiger lily, has anti-oxidant and anti-tumorigenic properties. However, the effects of Lilii Bulbus on learning, memory, and hippocampal neurogenesis remain unknown. This study investigated whether water extract of Lilii Bulbus (WELB) affects memory ability and hippocampal neurogenesis. Behavioral analyses (Morris water maze and passive avoidance test), immunohistochemistry, cell proliferation assay, and immunoblot analysis were performed. WELB (50 and 100 mg/kg; for 14 days) enhanced memory retention and spatial memory in normal mice as well as in scopolamine-treated mice with memory deficits. Furthermore, the administration of WELB significantly increased the number of proliferating cells and surviving newborn cells in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus in normal mice. We found that WELB has a pro-neurogenic effect by increasing the activation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK/ERK) in the hippocampus. Moreover, we confirmed that WELB (100 and 200 μg/ml) significantly increased NE-4 C and primary embryonic NSCs proliferation. Inhibition/knockdown of MEK/ERK blocked WELB-induced MEK/ERK phosphorylation and NSCs proliferation. Hence, MEK/ERK activation was required in WELB-induced NSCs proliferation. Our study demonstrates the first evidence for WELB promoting hippocampal neurogenesis and memory; pro-neurogenic activity may enhance brain plasticity, with implications for treating neurodegenerative diseases.
