In patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), initial recurrence risk stratification based on clinical, histopathological, and perioperative data remains the key determinant for guiding management strategies during the first 1-2 years post-treatment. However, the adoption of ongoing risk stratification (ORS), which dynamically reassesses risk by integrating longitudinal clinical data and treatment response, enables more precise long-term prognostic assessment and facilitates highly individualized management. Building upon recent guidelines, the 2026 KTA guideline has been further refined by incorporating robust evidence from large-scale national cohorts and comprehensive systematic reviews. These updated recommendations outline contemporary concepts of ORS, risk-adapted TSH suppression targets, optimized surveillance modalities for recurrence detection, and disease-specific long-term follow-up strategies. Reflecting the paradigm shift toward de-escalated treatment, this revision integrates evolved perspectives on TSH suppression intensity, the clinical interpretation of thyroglobulin levels, and tailored follow-up intervals. These evidence-based recommendations aim to minimize unnecessary treatment and excessive surveillance in the large proportion of patients with excellent prognosis after initial therapy, while ensuring that each patient receives appropriately tailored and effective long-term management.

The role of acetylated apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1/redox factor 1 (APE1/Ref-1) in ovarian cancer remains poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the combined effect of recombinant human APE1/Ref-1 (rhAPE1/Ref-1) and aspirin (ASA) on two ovarian cancer cells, PEO-14, and CAOV3.The viability and apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells treated with rhAPE1/Ref-1 or ASA were assessed. Our results demonstrated that ASA induced rhAPE1/Ref-1 acetylation and widespread hyperacetylation in PEO-14 cells. Additionally, co-treatment with rhAPE1/Ref-1 and ASA substantially reduced cell viability and induced PEO-14 cell apoptosis, not CAOV3, in a dose-dependent manner. ASA increased the expression and membrane localization of the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGEs). Acetylated APE1/Ref-1 showed enhanced binding to RAGEs. In contrast, RAGE knockdown reduced cell death and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage caused by rhAPE1/Ref-1 and ASA combination treatment, highlighting the importance of the APE1/Ref-1-RAGE interaction in triggering apoptosis. Moreover, combination treatment with rhAPE1/Ref-1 and ASA effectively induced apoptosis in 3D spheroid cultures of PEO-14 cells, a model that better mimics the tumor microenvironment. These results demonstrate that acetylated APE1/Ref-1 and its interaction with RAGE is a potential therapeutic target for ovarian cancer. Thus, the combination of ASA and APE1/Ref-1 may offer a promising new strategy for inducing cancer cell death.

Purpose: Arm wrestling is a common strength competition, particularly among young men, including military personnel.While previous studies have examined humeral shaft fractures from arm wrestling or in soldiers, no research has focused on both. This study evaluates the outcomes of dual plating fixation via the anterolateral approach for arm wrestling-induced fractures in soldiers. Methods: This retrospective study included 18 male patients (mean age, 21.7 years) treated at the Armed Forces Daejeon Hospital (May 2022–December 2023). Data on rank, radial nerve injury, fracture type (AO-OTA classification), and clinical outcomes (union time, radial nerve recovery, DASH score) were analyzed. Results: The cohort included 12 soldiers, two non-commissioned officers, and four officers. Common fracture types were A1 and B1, with four cases of radial nerve palsy. Union occurred at 12.5 weeks, and nerve recovery averaged 15 weeks. No cases of non-union or persistent nerve damage were observed. Conclusion Arm wrestling carries a high risk of humeral fractures in soldiers. Awareness and preventive measures should be emphasized. The dual plating fixation technique via the anterolateral approach is highly effective, demonstrating excellent union and recovery outcomes.
