    Abstract Introduction: Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is one of the most-prevalent psychological problems among cancer survivors, and younger females who have received endocrine therapy are particularly at risk of high FCR. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between high FCR and factors related to it in South Korean patients with breast cancer who receive adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET).
    Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 326 patients with breast cancer who had received AET. All participants were asked to complete a personal information sheet, the short form of the Fear of Progression Questionnaire, and the Menopause Rating Scale. The factors associated with high FCR were analyzed using association-rule analysis.
    Results: The mean FCR score was 32.24 (SD = 10.22), and 137 of the 326 (42.0%) patients had high scores (≥34). Hot flushes and sweating (moderate to extremely severe), depressed mood (moderate to extremely severe), irritability (moderate to extremely severe), invasive stage, taking tamoxifen, and being married were associated with high FCR.
    Conclusion: Since FCR was common in patients with breast cancer who received AET, patients at a greater risk of experiencing FCR must be screened and supported.

    Abstract Nurses often have a heavy workload and struggle to maintain a good quality of life (QOL). The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between perceived stresses and sleep disturbance, and quality of life among Korean clinical nurses. A cross-sectional design was used to examine these relationships among 200 clinical nurses at three hospitals in South Korea. Standardized instruments were used, including the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ), and the WHOQoL-BREF questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the t-test, ANOVA, the Scheffe test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS/WIN 24.0 program. Multiple regression analysis showed that clinical nurses who had a subjective health status (

    Abstract This study aimed to evaluate operating factors that influence the bactericidal efficacy of atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) using wheat flour contaminated with Escherichia coli. It also investigated how non-optimized operating factors of ACP could affect wheat flour properties. Five operating factors (container volume, flour weight, shaking RPM, treatment time, and gas flow rate) were evaluated for the bactericidal effect of ACP using the Box-Behnken design. In addition, thermal and pasting properties were measured to assess the effect of non-optimized ACP operating conditions on wheat flour quality. ACP operating factors (volume of the container, shaking RPM, and treatment time) had significant effects on reducing E. coli in wheat flour (p < 0.05). The bactericidal effect also depended on the distance and contact area between the plasma jet and sample. The temperature at the flour surface increased (max. 70 ℃) when ACP treatment didn't provide sufficient space and optimized duration. Thermal, pasting, and gelling properties of ACP treated-wheat flour in a 10 mL container increased significantly compared to untreated wheat flour. Large amounts of samples, long processing time, and insufficient space contributed to overheating which leads to denaturation or change of the wheat flour properties. The present study proposed important data for industrial sterilization of wheat flour using ACP.

    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to explore symptom trajectories over 24 months for hot flushes and sweating, sleep problems, joint and muscular discomfort, and physical and mental exhaustion experienced by premenopausal women diagnosed with tamoxifen-treated breast cancer.
    Methods: A total of 104 patients participated in the study. The menopausal symptoms were examined using the Menopausal Rating Scale at baseline, 3-6, 12, and 18-24 months after initiating tamoxifen. The changes over four time points were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance. The chi-square test was used to examine the differences between "no symptom-to-mild" and "moderate-to-extremely severe" 3-6 months after initiating tamoxifen according to the patients' chemotherapy treatment experiences.
    Results: All menopausal symptoms occurred in > 70% of patients with breast cancer and persisted until 24 months. More than 50% of patients experienced four menopausal symptoms, with at least two at a serious severity level after initiating tamoxifen. Hot flushes and sweating occurred in the highest number of patients, recording high scores. Sleep problems and physical and mental exhaustion exhibited relatively high scores, even before tamoxifen initiation. There were significant changes over four time points in all symptoms. Young patients aged < 40 years experienced more severe sleep problems, and patients who had previously received chemotherapy experienced more severe joint and muscular discomfort.
    Conclusions: This study's findings may assist in alerting healthcare providers to menopausal symptoms that develop during tamoxifen therapy and the need for early and active intervention to minimize symptom occurrence and distress.

    Abstract This study aimed to identify the changes in the illness perceptions and depression of women with breast cancer, undergoing AET, at three time points (i.e., before initiating AET, 3 months follow-up, and 12 months follow-up). We investigated the interaction effects of their demographic and clinical characteristics on illness perception changes over time. Furthermore, factors including the patient's characteristics and illness perceptions associated with depressive symptoms 1 year after starting AET were explored. Illness perception and depressive symptoms were assessed with the brief illness perception questionnaire and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, in a prospective study of 150 women. The changes in illness perceptions and depression between the three time points were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. The factors associated with depressive symptoms were identified using regression analysis. Illness perception improved overall over the 12 months. However, more patients perceived their illness as chronic, experienced more symptoms, and developed negative beliefs that treatment could not control their disease. Patients' depressive symptoms decreased significantly. Depression at the baseline, cancer stage, and the perception of personal control were highly associated with depression after 12 months. These findings suggest that healthcare providers should offer appropriate interventions to patients, for managing symptoms, having a positive belief that treatment can control their disease, and preventing long-term depressive symptoms.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to map Korean national health insurance claims codes for laboratory tests to SNOMED CT. The mapping source codes were 4,111 claims codes for laboratory test and mapping target codes were the International Edition of SNOMED CT released on July 31, 2020. We used rule-based automated and manual mapping methods. The mapping results were validated by two experts. Out of 4,111 codes, 90.5% were mapped to the concepts of procedure hierarchy in SNOMED CT. Of them, 51.4% of the codes were exactly mapped to SNOMED CT concepts, and 34.8% of the codes were mapped to SNOMED CT concepts as one-to-one mapping.

    Abstract Nanomaterials derived from seaweed have developed as an alternative option for fighting infections caused by biofilm-forming microbial pathogens. This research aimed to discover potential seaweed-derived nanomaterials with antimicrobial and antibiofilm action against bacterial and fungal pathogens. Among seven algal species, the extract from Eisenia bicyclis inhibited biofilms of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes most effectively at sub-MIC levels. As a result, in the present study, E. bicyclis was chosen as a prospective seaweed for producing E. bicyclis-gold nanoparticles (EB-AuNPs). Furthermore, the mass spectra of E. bicyclis reveal the presence of a number of potentially beneficial chemicals. The polyhedral shape of the synthesized EB-AuNP with a size value of 154.74 ± 33.46 nm was extensively described. The lowest inhibitory concentration of EB-AuNPs against bacterial pathogens (e.g., L.monocytogenes, S. aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and K. pneumoniae) and fungal pathogens (Candida albicans) ranges from 512 to >2048 μg/mL. Sub-MIC of EB-AuNPs reduces biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae, L. monocytogenes, and S. aureus by 57.22 %, 58.60 %, 33.80 %, and 91.13 %, respectively. EB-AuNPs eliminate the mature biofilm of K. pneumoniae at > MIC, MIC, and sub-MIC concentrations. Furthermore, EB-AuNPs at the sub-MIC level suppress key virulence factors generated by P. aeruginosa, including motility, protease activity, pyoverdine, and pyocyanin, whereas it also suppresses the production of staphyloxanthin virulence factor from S. aureus. The current research reveals that seaweed extracts and a biocompatible seaweed-AuNP have substantial antibacterial, antibiofilm, and antivirulence actions against bacterial and fungal pathogens.

    Abstract Diseases that occur in silkworms include soft rot, hardening disease, digestive diseases, and sepsis. However, research on the causes of bacterial diseases occurring in silkworms and the resulting changes in the microbial community is lacking. Therefore, we examined the morphological characteristics of sepsis and changes in the microbial community between silkworms that exhibit a unique odor and healthy silkworms; thus, we established a relationship between disease-causing microorganisms and sepsis. After producing a 16S rRNA amplicon library for samples showing sepsis, we obtained information on the microbial community present in silkworms using next-generation sequencing. Compared to that in healthy silkworms, in silkworms with sepsis, the abundance of the
