Abstract Introduction The genetic factors and molecular mechanisms predisposing to essential tremor (ET) remains largely unknown. Objective The objective of this study was to identify pathways and genes relevant to ET by integrating multiomics approaches. Methods Case‐control RNA sequencing of 2 cerebellar regions was done for 64 samples. A phenome‐wide association study (pheWAS) of the differentially expressed genes was conducted, and a genome‐wide gene association study...

Abstract Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) of the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the major cause of non-relapse mortality (NRM) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). This study aimed to identify variables associated with corticosteroid response and NRM in patients who developed lower GI aGVHD. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients treated at Yonsei University Severance Hospital between 2008 and 2017. Among 244 recipients...

Abstract Separase, a cysteine endopeptidase, is a key player in mitotic sister chromatid separation, replication fork dynamics, and DNA repair. Aberrant expression and/or altered separase proteolytic activity are associated with aneuploidy, tumorigenesis, and disease progression. Since genomic instability and clonal evolution are hallmarks of progressing chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), we have comparatively examined separase proteolytic activity in TKI-treated chronic phase CML....

Abstract The primate brain contains a large number of interconnected visual areas, whose spatial organization and intracortical projections show a high level of conservation across species. One fiber pathway of recent interest is the vertical occipital fasciculus (VOF), which is thought to support communication between dorsal and ventral visual areas in the occipital lobe. A recent comparative diffusion MRI (dMRI) study reported that the VOF in the macaque brain bears a similar...

Introduction: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) targeted therapy regimens can improve tumor response in HER-2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC), with overall survival benefits. Objective: We evaluated the efficacy of dual HER-2 blockade combined with chemotherapy for HER-2-positive MBC patients as a first-line therapy in our patient population. Patients and Methods: We identified 75 patients at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center that received trastuzumab, pertuzumab,...

Background: Protroca evaluated the efficacy and safety of primary and secondary prophylaxis of neutropenia with lipegfilgrastim (Lonquex®) in breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy (CT). Patients and Methods: Of the 255 patients enrolled, 248 patients were evaluable for the intent-to-treat (ITT) and 194 patients for the per-protocol set. Primary and secondary end points after lipegfilgrastim treatment were assessed. Results: Nine patients of the ITT set receiving lipegfilgrastim...

Abstract Whereas numerous studies have investigated the relationship of cardiorespiratory fitness with inhibition and neuroelectric activity, the role of other physical fitness components and physical activity (PA) intensities in this relationship remain unclear, especially in children with obesity. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the association of physical fitness, PA, and sedentary time with inhibitory control and neuroelectric activity in children. Eighty‐four children...

Abstract The number of Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses including large numbers of genetic variants is rapidly increasing. This is due to the proliferation of genome‐wide association studies, and the desire to obtain more precise estimates of causal effects. Since it is unlikely that all genetic variants will be valid instrumental variables, several robust methods have been proposed. We compare nine robust methods for MR based on summary data that can be implemented using standard statistical...

Abstract Streptococcus is closely correspondent to human. The accurate species-specific identification method of Streptococcus is important for the bacteria clinical diagnosis, molecular epidemiological analysis, and microecological study. In the last decades, DNA markers are widely utilized for identification of prokaryotic species.

Abstract Although Chlamydia infects host body regions that are hypoxic to anoxic, standard Chlamydiae culture conditions are in CO2 enriched (5%) atmospheric oxygen (21%). Because of its success in causing disease in principally anaerobic body sites, e.g., vaginal tract, we hypothesize that Chlamydia has an anaerobic life cycle that plays a role in its maintenance in the host. Using a model system developed for the anaerobic culture of mammalian cells, we assessed the anoxic infectious...
