    Abstract Lichen planus (LP) can be accompanied by psychiatric comorbidities. Studies investigating the relationship between LP and clinically diagnosed anxiety and depression are limited. We aimed to determine the association of LP with anxiety and depression by conducting a cross-sectional population study of the All of Us research database, a National Institutes of Health cohort. Patients with LP were identified through electronic health record data using codes from the International Classification of Diseases and Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine. We used multivariable logistic regression to assess associations between LP and anxiety and depression before and after controlling for relevant covariates. Among 239,552 participants, 1083 individuals with LP were identified, with an average age of 67.20 years (standard deviation, 11.79) and a female predominance (74% female). The prevalence of depression and anxiety were higher among individuals with LP than in those without (41.6% vs 27.7%, p < 0.001; 43.5% vs 29.6%, p < 0.001). LP remained significantly associated with depression (OR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.20-1.56, p < 0.001) and anxiety (OR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.30-1.68, p < 0.001) after controlling for age, sex, hypothyroidism, autoimmune diseases, hypertension, type II diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and hepatitis C infection. In this cross-sectional study, LP was associated with an increase in odds of having depression and anxiety in multivariable analysis. Further study is needed to better understand the relationship between mental health outcomes and LP to address the needs of patients with LP more completely.

    Abstract BACKGROUND The decreased postural control ability of stroke patients affects their ability to balance in various postures such as sitting and standing. This study aimed to determine whether cognitive task training for stroke patients is effective in improving walking and balancing abilities. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventeen stroke patients (10 males, 7 females) were randomized by ballot to be assigned to the cognitive task group (CBT) or the general task group (GBT). For the cognitive task training, a dual task of balance and cognition using traffic signals, a familiar form to the subjects, was applied as a program. In both groups the interventions were performed for 30 min a day, 3 times a week, for 4 weeks. The timed up and go test (TUG), the Berg balance scale (BBS), and gait ability evaluation were performed to compare the therapeutic effects. RESULTS After the intervention, the BBS showed significant differences in both groups (p<0.05). The cognitive task training group had significant improvement in all outcome scores after the intervention (p<0.05). The TUG score of the CBT group significantly decreased to 6.17 s (p<0.05), but that of the GBT showed no statistically significant change. CONCLUSIONS Cognitive task training could be used in clinical rehabilitation as a more effective intervention method to improve balance and gait ability of stroke patients.

    Abstract As frequent changes in anti-hypertensive (HTN) medications may reduce adherence to the treatments, identifying modifiable factors leading to changes in anti-HTN medications can help clinicians optimize treatment strategies for individual patients. We performed this study to explore the pattern of anti-HTN medications and to identify factors that are associated with the changes in anti-HTN medications. To this end, we used a clinical database of Seoul National University Hospital, extracted, transformed, and loaded by the observational medical outcomes partnership common data model. Demographic and all recorded clinical diagnoses, medications, and procedures data of eligible subjects were collected. Of 636 subjects who were eligible for this study, 297 subjects with a record of ≥1 anti-HTN medication changes and other 297 subjects without a record of medication change were selected for the study population.

    Abstract Japanese encephalitis (JE), caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), is a highly threatening disease with no specific treatment. Fortunately, the development of vaccines has enabled effective defense against JE. However, re-emerging genotype V (GV) JEV poses a challenge as current vaccines are genotype III (GIII)-based and provide suboptimal protection. Given the isolation of GV JEVs from Malaysia, China, and the Republic of Korea, there is a concern about the potential for a broader outbreak. Under the hypothesis that a GV-based vaccine is necessary for effective defense against GV JEV, we developed a pentameric recombinant antigen using cholera toxin B as a scaffold and mucosal adjuvant, which was conjugated with the E protein domain III of GV by genetic fusion. This GV-based vaccine antigen induced a more effective immune response in mice against GV JEV isolates compared to GIII-based antigen and efficiently protected animals from lethal challenges. Furthermore, a bivalent vaccine approach, inoculating simultaneously with GIII- and GV-based antigens, showed protective efficacy against both GIII and GV JEVs. This strategy presents a promising avenue for comprehensive protection in regions facing the threat of diverse JEV genotypes, including both prevalent GIII and GI as well as emerging GV strains.

    Abstract The Ministry of Environment, South Korea, is involved in efforts to reduce safety-related accidents that could occur during hazardous waste disposal and minimise the environmental impacts of waste disposal. To reach such goals, new factors have been added that contribute to the hazardous characteristics of hazardous waste. The Ministry is also expanding regulations on inorganic and organic components present in hazardous waste for these factors and continues to correct the classification system to establish standards for waste components. Metallic dust, for example, is mostly generated during the operation of melting furnaces or precipitators and dangerous materials contained in this dust may cause accidents, such as explosions or fires. South Korean accident cases have confirmed that waste containing hazardous materials, such as Mg, Al and Mg-Al alloys, can cause such events. Therefore, this study analysed 28 dust samples collected from the dust accumulated in precipitators in 28 metal manufacturing facilities in South Korea. Nine samples were flammable and four samples were reactive to water. Two samples also exhibited leaching toxicities. The results applied to relevant laws in South Korea showed that the proportion of waste containing hazardous characteristics increased from 7.14% in the previous management category to 39.29% in the extended category, an overall increase of 32.15 percentage points.

    Abstract Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the main pathogens associated with lower respiratory tract infections in infants and young children worldwide. Exosomes secreted by antigen presenting cells (APCs) can elicit immune responses by carrying major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules complexed with antigenic peptides and other co-stimulating factors. Therefore, we developed novel immunomagnetic nanographene particles to sequentially isolate, surface engineer, and release intact dendritic cell (DC) exosomes for use as a potential vaccine platform against RSV.

    Abstract Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SRIs) are often used as first line therapy for depression and other psychiatric disorders. SRI use during pregnancy is associated with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and subsequent preterm birth. The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanism(s) responsible for SRI-associated PPROM. Putative mechanisms underlying PPROM include fetal membrane (FM) inflammation, increased apoptosis, and/or accelerated senescence, the later which may be reversed by statins. Human FM explants from normal term deliveries without labor, infection, or antidepressant use were treated with or without the SRI, fluoxetine (FLX), either alone or in the presence of a p38 MAPK inhibitor or the statins, simvastatin or rosuvastatin. FMs were also collected from women either unexposed or exposed to FLX during pregnancy. FLX significantly increased FM p38 MAPK activity and secretion of inflammatory IL-6. Inhibition of p38 MAPK reduced FM IL-6 secretion in response to FLX. Statins did not reduce the SRI-induced FM IL-6 production. FMs from women exposed to FLX during pregnancy expressed elevated levels of p38 MAPK activity compared to matched unexposed women. FMs exposed to FLX did not exhibit signs of increased apoptosis and/or accelerated senescence. These results indicate that the SRI, FLX, may induce sterile FM inflammation during pregnancy through activation of the p38 MAPK pathway, and in the absence of apoptosis and senescence. These findings may better inform clinicians and patients as they weigh the risks and benefits of SRI antidepressant treatment during pregnancy.

    Abstract "Adaptive" NK cells, characterized by FcRγ deficiency and enhanced responsiveness to Ab-bound, virus-infected cells, have been found in certain hCMV-seropositive individuals. Because humans are exposed to numerous microbes and environmental agents, specific relationships between hCMV and FcRγ-deficient NK cells (also known as g-NK cells) have been challenging to define. Here, we show that a subgroup of rhesus CMV (RhCMV)-seropositive macaques possesses FcRγ-deficient NK cells that stably persist and display a phenotype resembling human FcRγ-deficient NK cells. Moreover, these macaque NK cells resembled human FcRγ-deficient NK cells with respect to functional characteristics, including enhanced responsiveness to RhCMV-infected target in an Ab-dependent manner and hyporesponsiveness to tumor and cytokine stimulation. These cells were not detected in specific pathogen-free (SPF) macaques free of RhCMV and six other viruses; however, experimental infection of SPF animals with RhCMV strain UCD59, but not RhCMV strain 68-1 or SIV, led to induction of FcRγ-deficient NK cells. In non-SPF macaques, coinfection by RhCMV with other common viruses was associated with higher frequencies of FcRγ-deficient NK cells. These results support a causal role for specific CMV strain(s) in the induction of FcRγ-deficient NK cells and suggest that coinfection by other viruses further expands this memory-like NK cell pool.
