Background: Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition offers potential anticancer effects across diverse cancers due to HDAC's significant role in cancer development and progression. Consequently, we demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of the novel HDAC inhibitor, CG-745, in comparison with existing inhibitors such as suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Methods: CG-745's effect on apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent mitochondrial dysfunction was investigated using annexin V assay, MitoSoX, and Western blot in human A549 and H460 cells. Additionally, HDAC expression was analyzed through real-time polymerase chain reaction. We also evaluated the inhibitory effect of CG-745 on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) via Western blot, scratch analysis, and matrigel invasion analysis. Results: Compared to SAHA, CG-745 inhibited cell viability and mRNA expression of HDACs such as HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, and HDAC8. It also induced apoptosis, ROS, and mitochondrial dysfunction in a concentration-dependent manner. CG-745 reversed EMT triggered by TGF-β1 in A549 and H460 cells, and curtailed the migration and invasion enhanced by TGF-β1. CG-745 has demonstrably inhibited EMT and induced apoptosis in NSCLC cells. Conclusion CG-745 may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for NSCLC treatment.

Background: Acute bronchiolitis is a common cause of hospitalization during infancy that carries significant morbidity and mortality rates.Purpose: This study compared the efficacy of different treatment modalities for infants with bronchiolitis in terms of hospital stay and clinical severity scores. Methods: The PubMed database was searched for relevant studies. Eligibility criteria included double-blind randomized controlled trial design, assessment of the effect of treatment on bronchiolitis in infants under 2 years of age, and publication in English from inception through July 31, 2020. The primary efficacy outcome was the length of hospital stay, while the secondary outcome was the clinical severity score. The standardized treatment effect and standard error of the effect size were calculated. Results: We identified 45 randomized controlled trials of 24 pairwise comparisons. These 45 trials included 5,061 participants and investigated 13 types of interventions (12 active, 1 placebo). Inhalation therapy with epinephrine (standard mean difference [SMD], -0.41; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.8 to -0.03) and hypertonic saline (SMD, -0.29; 95% CI, -0.55 to -0.03) reduced the length of hospital stay compared with normal saline. Hypertonic saline was the most effective at improving the clinical severity score (SMD, -0.52; 95% CI, -0.95 to -0.10). Conclusion Inhalation therapy with epinephrine and hypertonic saline reduced the length of hospital stay and the clinical severity of bronchiolitis among infants under 2 years of age.

Background: Flow cytometric immunophenotyping of hematolymphoid neoplasms (FCIHLN) is essential for diagnosis, classification, and minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring. FCI-HLN is typically performed using in-house protocols, raising the need for standardization. Therefore, we surveyed the current status of FCI-HLN in Korea to obtain fundamental data for quality improvement and standardization. Methods: Eight university hospitals actively conducting FCI-HLN participated in our survey.We analyzed responses to a questionnaire that included inquiries regarding test items, reagent antibodies (RAs), fluorophores, sample amounts (SAs), reagent antibody amounts (RAAs), acquisition cell number (ACN), isotype control (IC) usage, positiveegative criteria, and reporting. Results: Most hospitals used acute HLN, chronic HLN, plasma cell neoplasm (PCN), and MRD panels. The numbers of RAs were heterogeneous, with a maximum of 32, 26, 12, 14, and 10 antibodies used for acute HLN, chronic HLN, PCN, ALL-MRD, and multiple myeloma-MRD, respectively. The number of fluorophores ranged from 4 to 10. RAs, SAs, RAAs, and ACN were diverse. Most hospitals used a positive criterion of 20%, whereas one used 10% for acute and chronic HLN panels. Five hospitals used ICs for the negative criterion. Positiveegative assignments, percentages, and general opinions were commonly reported. In MRD reporting, the limit of detection and lower limit of quantification were included. Conclusions This is the first comprehensive study on the current status of FCI-HLN in Korea, confirming the high heterogeneity and complexity of FCI-HLN practices. Standardization of FCI-HLN is urgently needed. The findings provide a reference for establishing standard FCI-HLN guidelines.
