Korean Gastric Cancer Association-Led Nationwide Survey on Surgically Treated Gastric Cancers in 2023.

Purpose: Since 1995, the Korean Gastric Cancer Association (KGCA) has been periodically conducting nationwide surveys on patients with surgically treated gastric cancer. This study details the results of the survey conducted in 2023.

Materials And Methods: The survey was conducted from March to December 2024 using a standardized case report form.

Iron-Chelating Hydroxyketone Ligands Promote Degradation of Fe(III)-Tannic Acid Nanofilms.

Polyphenols form nanofilms with transition metal ions by coordination-driven assembly. The as-formed metal-polyphenol nanofilms can degrade in the presence of chelating ligands that exhibit high stability constant with the nanofilm-forming metal ions. We have demonstrated the degradation of Fe(III)-tannic acid nanofilms with hydroxyketone ligands, such as maltol, kojic acid, and deferiprone, which exhibit high availability and excellent cytocompatibility.

Metastatic Histiocytic Sarcoma with Secondary Involvement of the Skin: A Case Report.

Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is a rare malignant neoplasm of presumed hematopoietic origin, showing morphologic and immunophenotypic evidence of histiocytic differentiation. A 61-year-old woman presented with an abdominal mass. She had a history of HS in both adrenal glands.

Dutasteride in the treatment of frontal fibrosing alopecia: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a scarring alopecia with fronto-temporo-parietal hairline recession. Although no proven treatment for FFA exists, dutasteride has been suggested as a potential treatment option. We aimed to evaluate the therapeutic response of oral dutasteride in FFA patients.

Catechol-Amyloid Interactions.

This review introduces multifaceted mutual interactions between molecules containing a catechol moiety and aggregation-prone proteins. The complex relationships between these two molecular species have previously been elucidated primarily in a unidirectional manner, as demonstrated in cases involving the development of catechol-based inhibitors for amyloid aggregation and the elucidation of the role of functional amyloid fibers in melanin biosynthesis. This review aims to consolidate scattered clues pertaining to catechol-based amyloid inhibitors, functional amyloid scaffold of melanin biosynthesis, and chemically designed peptide fibers for providing chemical insights into the role of the local three-dimensional orientation of functional groups in manifesting such interactions.

Enhanced Oral Bioavailability of Rivaroxaban-Loaded Microspheres by Optimizing the Polymer and Surfactant Based on Molecular Interaction Mechanisms.

This study aimed to develop microspheres using water-soluble carriers and surfactants to improve the solubility, dissolution, and oral bioavailability of rivaroxaban (RXB). RXB-loaded microspheres with optimal carrier (poly(vinylpyrrolidone) K30, PVP) and surfactant (sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)) ratios were prepared. H NMR and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses showed that drug-excipient and excipient-excipient interactions affected RXB solubility, dissolution, and oral absorption.

Herpes zoster after COVID-19 vaccination, aspect of pain medicine: a retrospective, single-center study.

Background: Herpes zoster (HZ) is one of the most common cutaneous adverse reactionsassociated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine and has been widely reported. This study aimed to evaluate HZ following COVID-19 vaccination from the viewpointof pain management.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 42 patients with HZ who visited the painclinic between August 2021 and October 2021.

Strength and Permeability Properties of Pervious Concrete Containing Coal Bottom Ash Aggregates.

This study investigates the strength and permeability properties of pervious concrete-containing coal bottom ash (CBA) aggregates. Two pervious concrete mixtures were fabricated with different aggregate size distributions. One mixture contained CBA aggregates with a single-type distribution and the other mixture contained CBA aggregates with a hybrid-type distribution.

Hemiarthroplasty through Direct Anterior Approach for Unstable Femoral Intertrochanteric Fractures in the Elderly: Analysis of Early Cases.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the direct anterior approach (DAA) can be applied to hemiarthroplasty for treatment of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 34 cases (34 patients) who underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty using a DAA from February 2019 to April 2020. The mean age of the patients was 82.

Synthesis and Evaluation of a F-Labeled Ligand for PET Imaging of Colony-Stimulating Factor 1 Receptor.

Neuroinflammation involves activation of glial cells in the brain, and activated microglia play a particularly important role in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we developed 5-cyano--(4-(4-(2-[F]fluoroethyl)piperazin-1-yl)-2-(piperidin-1-yl)phenyl)furan-2-carboxamide ([F]) for PET imaging of colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R), an emerging target for neuroinflammation imaging. Non-radioactive ligand exhibited binding affinity comparable to that of a known CSF1R inhibitor, 5-cyano--(4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-2-(piperidin-1-yl)phenyl)furan-2-carboxamide (CPPC).

Precursor Heterogeneity Driven Mo-Te Nanoparticle Structural Diversification for Cancer Photo-Theranostics.

Chemical reactions between homogeneous precursors are typically used to synthesize monodisperse nanoparticles with well-controlled size and morphology. It is difficult to predict the evolved nanostructures when using two heterogeneous precursors. In this study, three types of Mo-Te nanoparticles shaped like leaves, spindles, and rice grains (denoted respectively as nanoleaf, nanospindle, and nanorice) were obtained from dextrose-mediated proton-coupled electron transfer reaction between the solid polyoxomolybdate (POM) and the ionic tellurite anion as precursors.

Delivery of nitric oxide-releasing silica nanoparticles for revascularization and functional recovery after acute peripheral nerve crush injury.

Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to promote revascularization and nerve regeneration after peripheral nerve injury. However, in vivo application of NO remains challenging due to the lack of stable carrier materials capable of storing large amounts of NO molecules and releasing them on a clinically meaningful time scale. Recently, a silica nanoparticle system capable of reversible NO storage and release at a controlled and sustained rate was introduced.

Resveratrol-β-Lactoglobulin Composite Nanocoating by Layer-by-Layer Assembly with Fe(III)-Tannic Acid Complex.

Resveratrol (3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene) is beneficial to human health due to its diverse biological activities including its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects as confirmed by pharmacokinetic tests. Despite these clinical merits, resveratrol's limited hydrosolubility and chemical vulnerability remain challenging with regard to developing a controlled delivery system with enhanced bioavailability. In this work, we report a resveratrol-β-lactoglobulin (R-BLG) composite nanocoating through a layer-by-layer assembly with Fe(III)-tannic acid nanofilms.

Selected Strength Properties of Coal Bottom Ash (CBA) Concrete Containing Fly Ash under Different Curing and Drying Conditions.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of curing and drying conditions on the strength properties of concrete containing coal bottom ash (CBA) and fly ash as substitutes for fine aggregates and cement, respectively. The strength properties of the concrete including CBA and fly ash were evaluated under two different curing and drying conditions: saturated surface-dry (SSD) conditions and oven-dried conditions at curing ages of 28 and 91 days. The natural fine aggregates of the mixtures were replaced by CBA fine aggregates at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% by volume.

Effect of eco-friendly pervious concrete with amorphous metallic fiber on evaporative cooling performance.

Impervious pavements exist in large proportions in most cities owing to the high-impact development of the transportation infrastructure. However, this type of pavement causes environmental issues such as waterlogging, floods, and urban heat islands. Pervious concrete (PC), which is a novel pavement material characterized by a porous structure that allows water to percolate through it, is an important solution to these issues.
