ABSTRACT
Commercial membranes have predominantly been fabricated from polymers due to their economic viability and processability. This choice offers significant advantages in energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and operational simplicity compared to conventional separation techniques like distillation. However, polymeric membranes inherently exhibit a trade-off between their permeability and selectivity, which is summarized in the Robeson upper bound. To potentially surpass these limitations, mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) can be an alternative solution, which can be constructed by combining polymers with inorganic additives such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and zeolites. Incorporating high-aspect-ratio fillers like MOF nanosheets and zeolite nanosheets is of significant importance. This incorporation not only enhances the efficiency of separation processes but also reinforces the mechanical robustness of the membranes. We outline synthesis techniques for producing two-dimensional (2D) crystals (including nanocrystals with high aspect ratio) and provide examples of their integration into membranes to customize separation performances. Moreover, we propose a potential trajectory for research in the area of high-aspect-ratio materials-based MMMs, supported by a mathematical-model-based performance prediction.
ABSTRACT
CRISPR/Cas9-based genome engineering has revolutionized our ability to manipulate biological systems, particularly in higher organisms. Here, we designed a set of homology-directed repair donor templates that enable efficient tagging of endogenous proteins with affinity tags by transient transfection and selection of genome-edited cells in various human cell lines. Combined with technological advancements in single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy, this strategy allows efficient structural studies of endogenous proteins captured in their native cellular environment and during different cellular processes. We demonstrated this strategy by tagging six different human proteins in both HEK293T and Jurkat cells. Moreover, analysis of endogenous glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) in HEK293T cells allowed us to follow its behavior spatially and temporally in response to prolonged oxidative stress, correlating the increased number of oxidation-induced inactive catalytic sites in GAPDH with its translocation from cytosol to nucleus.

This paper presents a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) in 55â nm bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) technology. In order to realize a SPAD having sub-20â V breakdown voltage for mobile applications while preventing high tunneling noise, a high-voltage N-well available in BCD is utilized to implement the avalanche multiplication region. The resulting SPAD has a breakdown voltage of 18.4â V while achieving an excellent dark count rate of 4.4 cps/µm2 at the excess bias voltage of 7â V in spite of the advanced technology node. At the same time, the device achieves a high peak photon detection probability (PDP) of 70.1% at 450â nm thanks to the high and uniform E-field. Its PDP values at 850 and 940â nm, wavelengths of interest for 3D ranging applications reach 7.2 and 3.1%, respectively, with the use of deep N-well. The timing jitter of the SPAD, full width at half maximum (FWHM), is 91 ps at 850â nm. It is expected that the presented SPAD enables cost-effective time-of-flight and LiDAR sensors with the advanced standard technology for many mobile applications.
ABSTRACT
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide and is characterized by a slow, progressive, and multifactorial degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons, resulting in vision loss. Despite its high prevalence in individuals 60 years of age and older, the causing factors contributing to glaucoma progression are currently not well characterized. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only proven treatable risk factor. However, lowering IOP is insufficient for preventing disease progression. One of the significant interests in glaucoma pathogenesis is understanding the structural and functional impairment of mitochondria in RGCs and their axons and synapses. Glaucomatous risk factors such as IOP elevation, aging, genetic variation, neuroinflammation, neurotrophic factor deprivation, and vascular dysregulation, are potential inducers for mitochondrial dysfunction in glaucoma. Because oxidative phosphorylation stress-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with structural and functional impairment of mitochondria in glaucomatous RGCs, understanding the underlying mechanisms and relationship between structural and functional alterations in mitochondria would be beneficial to developing mitochondria-related neuroprotection in RGCs and their axons and synapses against glaucomatous neurodegeneration. Here, we review the current studies focusing on mitochondrial dynamics-based structural and functional alterations in the mitochondria of glaucomatous RGCs and therapeutic strategies to protect RGCs against glaucomatous neurodegeneration.

Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are promising for gas separation membrane, but their molecular cut-off differs from that expected from its intrinsic aperture structure because of their flexibility. Herein, we introduced graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) to rigidify the ZIF framework. Because the sp2 edge of the GNRs induces strong anchoring effects, the modified layer can be rigidified. Particularly, when the GNRs were embedded and distributed in the ZIF-8 layer, an intrinsic aperture size of 3.4â Å was observed, resulting in high H2 /CO2 separation (H2 permeance: 5.2×10-6 â mol/m2 Pa s, ideal selectivity: 142). The performance surpasses the upper bound of polycrystalline MOF membrane performance. In addition, the membrane can be applied to blue H2 production, as demonstrated with a simulated steam reformed gas containing H2 /CO2 /CH4 . The separation performance was retained in the presence of water. The fundamentals of the molecular transport through the rigid ZIF-8 framework were revealed using molecular dynamics simulations.
ABSTRACT
Background: Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain affecting 10% of the general population. This study aimed to investigate the specific symptoms in patients with plantar fasciitis using the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) questionnaire and their relationship with demographic and radiographic factors. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 73 consecutive patients (mean age, 53.8 ± 10.0 years; 20 men and 53 women) with plantar fasciitis who had visited our foot and ankle clinic and undergone weight-bearing foot X-ray examinations. Their demographic data, anteroposterior and lateral talo-first metatarsal angles, intermetatarsal and hallux valgus angles, and responses to the FAOS questionnaire were recorded. Results: The quality-of-life subscale showed the lowest score of all FAOS subscales. Age was significantly correlated with quality of life (r = 0.297, p = 0.011), and body mass index was correlated with the function in sports and recreational activities (r = -0.251, p = 0.032). Age and body mass index were statistically significantly correlated with calcaneal spur size (r = 0.274, p = 0.027 and r = 0.324, p = 0.008, respectively). The calcaneal spur size was significantly correlated with pain (r = -0.348, p = 0.004), function in daily living (r = -0.410, p = 0.001), and function in sports and recreational activities (r = -0.439, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Demographic factors were associated with specific symptoms in patients with plantar fasciitis. Calcaneal spur size was the only radiographic parameter correlated with symptoms. These findings help communicate with patients, set appropriate treatment goals, and evaluate treatment effectiveness.

This paper presents the effect of shallow trench isolation (STI) on the dark count rate (DCR) and after-pulsing probability (APP) of deep-junction-based single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). Two different SPADs were fabricated in 110 nm CMOS image sensor technology, one with STI and the other without STI between its anode and cathode. With TCAD simulations and measurements, we have clearly demonstrated that the SPAD without STI enables a dramatic decrease in DCR by more than three orders of magnitude without suffering from the lateral leakage current between the anode and cathode. By excluding the STI from the device, the proposed SPAD also achieves a negligible APP while the SPAD with STI shows a very high APP of 92%. Thanks to the low-noise performance, the proposed SPAD becomes operable with higher excess bias voltage so that it achieves good photon detection probability, 58.3% at 500 nm and 3% at 940 nm, and timing jitter, 71 ps full width at half maximum at 670 nm, when the reverse bias voltage is 17 V.
ABSTRACT
The rotavirus vaccine is a live vaccine, and there is a possibility of infection by the virus strain used in the vaccine. We investigated the process of determining whether an infection was caused by the vaccine strain in a severe complex immunodeficiency (SCID) patient with rotavirus infection. The patient was vaccinated with RotaTeq prior to being diagnosed with SCID. The testing process was conducted in the following order: confirming rotavirus infection, determining its genotype, and confirming the vaccine strain. Rotavirus infection was confirmed through enzyme immunoassay and VP6 gene detection. G1 and P[8] were identified by multiplex polymerase chain reaction for the genotype, and G3 was further identified using a single primer. By detecting the fingerprint gene (WC3) of RotaTeq, it was confirmed that the detected virus was the vaccine strain. Genotypes G1 and P[8] were identified, and the infection was suspected of having been caused by rotavirus G1P[8]. G1P[8] is the most commonly detected genotype worldwide and is not included in the recombinant strains used in vaccines. Therefore, the infection was confirmed to have been caused by the vaccine strain by analyzing the genetic relationship between VP4 and VP7. Rotavirus infection by the vaccine strain can be identified through genotyping and fingerprint gene detection. However, genetic linkage analysis will also help to identify vaccine strains.
ABSTRACT
This retrospective study was conducted to investigate the correlation between kinetic gait parameters and femoral bone mineral density (BMD) in elderly subjects aged 50 years and older that could walk independently. Four hundred and twenty-six subjects (158 men and 258 women; mean age 68.7 years, standard deviation (SD) 7.9 years) were included in the study. BMDs (g/cm2) of the femoral neck, trochanter, shaft, and total proximal femur were collected. Kinetic data including maximum hip power and hip power-time integral was obtained from a three-dimensional gait analysis with self-selected walking speed. Correlation between BMDs of proximal femur and gait kinetic data was analyzed. Multiple regression analysis was also performed to identify factors significantly associated with BMD. Correlation between BMD and hip kinetic data was not prominent in elderly men. In women, BMD was significantly correlated with hip kinetic data. Hip power-time integral showed greater correlation with BMD than maximum hip power during gait in elderly women. Age (p < 0.001), weight (p = 0.007) and hip power-time integral (p = 0.008) were significant factors associated with femoral neck BMD, and these factors explained 25.4% of femoral neck BMD. In conclusion, the association between the mechanical load and BMD in the different sexes provokes future research into these issues. The effects of various types of exercises on BMD should be investigated more precisely using a gait analysis tool.

The risk of polio importation and re-emergence persists since epidemic polio still occurs in some countries, and the resurgence of polio occurring almost 20 years after polio eradication was declared in Asia has been reported. We analyzed the results of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance in Korea to assess the quality of AFP surveillance and understand the etiology of non-polio enterovirus (NPEV)-associated central nervous system diseases in a polio-free area. We investigated 637 AFP patients under 15 years of age whose cases were confirmed during 2012-2019 by virus isolation, real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and VP1 gene sequencing. Among the 637 AFP cases, NPEV was detected in 213 (33.4%) patients, with the majority observed in EV-A71, with 54.9% of NPEV positives. EV-A71 has been shown to play a role as a major causative agent in most neurological diseases except for Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), and meningitis. This study provides information on the AFP surveillance situation in Korea and highlights the polio eradication stage in the monitoring and characterization of NPEV against the outbreak of neurological infectious diseases such as polio.

We present a Si photonic-electronic integrated ring-resonator based optical receiver that contains a temperature-controlled ring-resonator filter (RRF), a Ge photodetector, and receiver circuits in a single chip. The temperature controller automatically determines the RRF temperature at which the maximum transmission of the desired WDM signal is achieved and maintains this condition against any temperature or input wavelength fluctuation. This Si photonic-electronic integrated circuit is realized with 0.25-µm photonic BiCMOS technology, and its operation is successfully confirmed with measurement.
ABSTRACT
In a digital hologram, the maximum viewing angle of a computer-generated hologram (CGH) is limited by pixel pitch due to the diffraction grating equation. Since reducing pixel size of display panel is challenging and costly, we propose a method to expand the viewing angle of a digital hologram by attaching an aligned pixelated random phase mask (PRPM) onto the CGH pattern based on analysis of simulation results. By introducing a phase-averaging process to the widely used iterative Fourier transform algorithm, an optimized CGH pattern can be obtained in conjunction with a PRPM. Based on scalar diffraction theory, viewing angle enhancement characteristics were verified by comparing the perspective views of a two-plane hologram using a virtual eye model. In addition, we performed full electromagnetic simulations that included effects due to potential fabrication errors such as misalignment, thickness variation, and internal reflections and diffractions between the CGH and random mask patterns. From the simulation results, by attaching a 1.85 µm-sized pixel pitch PRPM to a 3.7 µm CGH, the viewing angle can be easily expanded almost identical to that of a CGH with 1.85 µm-pixel pitch.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: Motion preserving surgeries could be unsuccessful because of underestimation of deformities of the foot and knee in ankle osteoarthritis. This study aimed to investigate the concomitant deformities in medial ankle osteoarthritis and the difference between the two types, varus angulation and medial translation. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted using medical records and radiographic data. Patients with medial ankle osteoarthritis that underwent weight-bearing X ray imaging and radiographic measurements including tibial plafond inclination (TPI), tibiotalar tilt angle (TT), lateral talo-first metatarsal angle, naviculo-cuboid overlap, and mechanical tibiofemoral angle (mTFA) were studied. The patients were categorized into two groups, the varus angulation group (TT ≥4°) and medial translation group (TT <4°). The radiographic measurements were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: A total of 102 patients (male = 44; female = 58) were included; the mean age was 64.9 years (SD 8.3 years). The varus rotation group (N = 66) showed a significantly smaller lateral talo-first metatarsal angle (p<0.001), naviculo-cuboid overlap (p<0.001), and mTFA (p = 0.019) compared to the medial displacement group (N = 36). The TT showed a significant correlation with lateral talo-first metatarsal angle (r = -0.520, p<0.001), naviculo-cuboid overlap (r = -0.501, p<0.001), and mTFA (r = -0.243, p = 0.014). Lateral talo-first metatarsal angle was found to be the significant factor (p = 0.018) discriminating varus angulation and medial translation types in the binary logistic analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Varus angulation of the ankle was correlated with knee alignment and foot deformity. Radiographic indices were different between the varus angulation and medial translation groups. The role of concomitant deformities needs to be further investigated in terms of a causal relationship. Surgeons need to pay attention to concomitant deformities in the treatment of medial ankle osteoarthritis.

Hepatitis A, an acute type of hepatitis caused by the hepatitis A virus, occurs worldwide. Following the 2009 hepatitis A epidemic in South Korea, patient outbreak reports were collectively converted to an "all-patient report" in 2011, and national immunization programs were introduced for children in 2015. In this study, we aimed to analyze the changes and characteristics of hepatitis A antibody titers in South Korea following the epidemic. The results of hepatitis A antibody tests performed at clinical laboratories from 2009 to 2019 were analyzed based on year, age, region, sex, and medical institution. The average 2009-2018 positive anti-hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin G rate was 51.8%, but it increased (56.06%) in 2019. Significantly different antibody-positive rates were observed based on age: <10 years, 54.5%; 20-29 years, 19.5%; ≥50 years, almost 100%. The positive rate of individuals in their teens and 20s gradually increased, whereas that of those in their 30s and 40s gradually decreased. Males had higher antibody-positive rates than females, and samples from higher-level general hospitals exhibited higher antibody rates. The positive anti-hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin M rates gradually decreased after 2009 and were <1% after 2012. However, a high positive rate of 3.69% was observed in 2019 when there was an epidemic. Anti-hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin G-positive rates were similar throughout the year, but the anti-hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin M-positive rates increased from January, peaked in April, and decreased from July, exhibiting distinct seasonality. This is considered to be related to groundwater pollution during the spring drought season. The introduction of the "all-patient report" and national vaccination program for children has had an effective influence on hepatitis A management. However, for hepatitis A prevention, policy considerations for high-risk age groups with low antibody-positive rates will be necessary.

BACKGROUND: Enteroviruses (EVs) occur frequently worldwide and are known to be associated with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations from mild syndromes to neurological disease. To understand the epidemiology of EV in Korea, we characterized EV-infected cases during 2012-2019 based on national surveillance. METHODS: We collected specimens from patients with suspected EV infections and analyzed the data using real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and VP1 gene sequencing. RESULTS: Among the 18 261 specimens collected, EVs were detected in 6258 (34.3%) cases. Although the most common EV types changed annually, EV-A71, echovirus 30, coxsackievirus B5, coxsackievirus A6, and coxsackievirus A10 were commonly identified. Among the human EVs, the case numbers associated with the 2 major epidemic species (EV-A and EV-B) peaked in the summer. While EV-A species affected 1-year-old children and were associated with herpangina and hand, foot, and mouth disease, EV-B species were mostly associated with neurologic manifestations. The highest incidence of EV-B species was observed in infants aged <12 months. Feces and respiratory specimens were the most predictive of EV infection. Specimens collected within 5 days of symptom onset allowed for timely virus detection. CONCLUSIONS: EV-A and EV-B species co-circulating in Korea presented different epidemiologic trends in clinical presentation, affected subjects, and seasonality trends. This study could provide information for the characterization of EVs circulating in Korea to aid the development of EV antivirals and vaccines, as well as public health measures to control enteroviral diseases.

Acute gastroenteritis is a global public health concern. This study aimed to analyze the trend and characteristics of acute viral gastroenteritis through a national surveillance network. Enteric viruses were detected in 9510 of 31,750 (30.1%) cases assessed from 2013 to 2019 by EnterNet. The most prevalent pathogens were norovirus (15.2%) and group A rotavirus (9.7%); most infections were reported in 2017 (34.0%). Norovirus and rotavirus coinfections were the most common. Norovirus infections were prevalent among 1-year-old children (1835 out of 9510 cases) during winter, and group A rotavirus infections were common during spring. Seasonality was not observed among enteric adenovirus, astrovirus, and sapovirus. The prevalent viral genotypes detected included norovirus GII.4, enteric adenovirus F41, astrovirus genotype 1, and sapovirus GI.1. However, changes in enteric virus trends were noted during the study period. Norovirus prevalence extended into spring, and new genotypes of enteric adenovirus, astrovirus, and sapovirus were identified. These surveillance data elucidate enteric virus epidemiological characteristics.

We here report the first outbreak caused by rotavirus G11,P[25] in Korea in 2018, representing a case of re-assortment with pig-derived rotavirus. The genotype constellation was identical to the virus identified in Korea in 2012 as G11-P[25]-I12-R1-C1-M1-A1-N1-T1-E1-H1. The infection source was not known exactly but it must be considered infection from swine.
ABSTRACT
Hepatic gluconeogenesis is the main pathway for blood glucose maintenance activated during fasting. Retardation of insulin action, such as in diabetes mellitus, activates gluconeogenesis during the fed state. While the role of progesterone (P4) in diabetes is controversial, the P4 receptor, progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1), is known to stimulate pancreatic insulin secretion. We investigated the role of P4, via hepatic PGRMC1, during gluconeogenesis. The PGRMC1 binding chemical, AG-205, induced PGRMC1 monomer (25 kDa) abundance, and increased PEPCK expression and glucose production in parallel with cyclic AMP (cAMP) induction in Hep3B cells. PGRMC1-mediated cyclic AMP was inhibited by an adenylate cyclase inhibitor (MDL-12,330A). PEPCK suppression in Pgrmc1 KO hepatocyte was not observed after treatment of MDL-12,330A. PGRMC1 knockdown or overexpression systems in Hep3B cells confirmed that PGRMC1 mediates PEPCK expression via phosphorylation of cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB). CREB phosphorylation and PEPCK expression in primary hepatocytes were greater than that in PGRMC1 knock-out hepatocytes. Progesterone increased PGRMC1 expression, which induced cAMP and PEPCK induction and glucose production. In vivo, P4 suppressed gluconeogenesis following plasma insulin induction under normal conditions in a mouse model. However, P4 increased blood glucose via gluconeogenesis in parallel with increases in PGRMC1 and PEPCK expression in mice in both insulin-deficient and insulin-resistant conditions. We conclude that P4 increases hepatic glucose production via PGRMC1, which may exacerbate hyperglycaemia in diabetes where insulin action is limited.

On October 4, 2018, an outbreak of gastroenteritis associated with sapovirus occurred among elementary school students in Gyeonggi-do, Korea. Epidemiologic studies were conducted in a retrospective cohort approach. Using self-administered questionnaires, we collected information on symptoms and food items consumed. Of the 999 subjects, 17 developed patients that met the case definition. The main symptom was vomiting (100%), and the symptomatic age was 6-12 years. Positive samples were identified by conventional reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for sequencing. They were classified into genotype GI.3 by phylogenetic analysis. This is the first report of an outbreak associated with sapovirus GI.3 in Korea.
