In this technical report, we describe a challenging case concerning the retrieval of a distal embolic protection device (DEPD) post-carotid artery stenting. We propose a novel rescue retrieval technique for DEPD, employing a fabricated monorail-type HN5 diagnostic catheter. When integrated with existing strategies, this approach may optimize and streamline the process of DEPD removal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cerebral paragonimiasis (CP), caused by aberrant migration of Paragonimus worms, frequently invokes serious illness. The causal relationship between the lesion characteristics and patients' symptoms has poorly been understood. CP serodiagnosis has not been properly evaluated to date. A total of 111 CP cases were diagnosed in our laboratory between 1982 and 2003. This study retrospectively assessed the clinical and imaging characteristics of the 105 patients along with the evaluation of diagnostic potentials of recombinant P. westermani yolk ferritin (rPwYF) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) employing patients' sera and cerebrospinal fluids (CSFs). We analyzed 60 male and 45 female patients; 50 early-stage patients with non-calcified enhancing nodule(s) (median age, 38 years; interquartile range [IQR], 24.75–52; median symptom duration, 0.75 years; IQR, 0.2–2) and 54 chronic cases having calcified lesion(s) (median age, 33 years; IQR, 25–41; median symptom duration, 10 years; IQR, 5–20). One patient showed a normal neuroimage. The patients were largely diagnosed in their 30s. The parietal lobe was most commonly affected, followed by occipital, frontal, and temporal lobes. Twenty-six patients had lesions encompassing ≥ two lobes. The patients complained mainly of seizures, headaches, hemiparesis, and focal neurologic deficits (P < 0.001). Seizures and visual defect were predominant in patients with calcified lesion(s) (P < 0.001). The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of rPwYF against serum/CSF were 100%/97% and 97.2%/92.5%, respectively. The specific IgG antibody levels against rPwYF in sera and CSFs showed a positive correlation (r = 0.59). The clinical manifestations of the early-stage patients might be associated with cortical lesions or meningeal irritation, while those in the chronic stage were caused by conglomerated space-occupying lesions. rPwYF would be useful for the serodiagnosis of both early and chronic CP cases. Author summary: Paragonimiasis, caused by the lung fluke Paragonimus spp., is a global foodborne zoonosis of great public health concern. Paragonimiasis is primarily a pleuropulmonary disease. However, the worms sometimes migrate aberrantly to other parts of the body, thereby causing the granulomatous lesion(s). The most serious condition elicited by ectopic migration is cerebral paragonimiasis. This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging features of the largest number of 105 cases diagnosed between 1982 and 2003 in our laboratory. We also evaluated diagnostic feasibility of recombinant P. westermani yolk ferritin by ELISA. The patients were largely diagnosed in their 30s with the chief complaints of seizures, headaches, hemiparesis, and focal neurologic deficits. Seizures and visual defect were significant in the chronic stage patients having calcified lesion(s). The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of recombinant P. westermani yolk ferritin by ELISA against patients' sera or CSFs were 100% or 97%, and 97.2% or 92.5%, respectively. The diverse neurological manifestations of patients might be related to the nature and/or location of the lesions. P. westermani yolk ferritin is a promising antigen for serodiagnosis of both early-stage patients with non-calcified lesion(s) and chronic calcified cerebral paragonimiasis cases.

Background and Purpose: Renal dysfunction is known to affect vasculature and lead to systemic arterial stiffness. It also independently increases the risk of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) and stroke. We aimed to examine the effect of renal dysfunction on cerebral hemodynamics and the burden of cSVD. Methods: Of the 412 patients admitted to Seoul National University Hospital, between May 2015 and 2019, with lacunar infarction and no major intracranial arterial stenosis observed on magnetic resonance angiography, we included 283 patients who had undergone a transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound after 72 h of stroke onset. The patients were divided into renal dysfunction (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at admission) and control (eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2) groups. We investigated the correlations between renal function, the pulsatility index (PI), and the total MRI burden of cSVD. Furthermore, multivariate analysis was performed to assess the association between renal dysfunction and the PI of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) measured through TCD ultrasound. Results: Among the total patients, 74 (26.1%) had renal dysfunction (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at admission). Patients with renal dysfunction were significantly older, showed higher pulse pressure, and had a higher prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery disease. Renal dysfunction was significantly associated with higher distal cerebrovascular flow resistance (median PI 1.12, interquartile range [IQR]: 0.85–1.57 vs. controls 0.84, IQR: 0.54–1.22; p < 0.001). Also, patients with renal dysfunction had a significantly higher total MRI burden of cSVD (median cSVD score 2, IQR: 1–3 vs. controls median score 1, IQR: 0–2; p < 0.001). There was an inverse proportional relationship between the PI and eGFR. Finally, multivariate analysis showed renal dysfunction (adjusted odds ratio: 4.516, 95% confidence interval: 1.051–20.292) and older age (adjusted odds ratio: 1.076, 95% confidence interval: 1.038–1.114) as independent predictors of a high PI. Conclusions: Renal dysfunction is independently associated with a high PI of MCA. Renal dysfunction leads to systemic arterial stiffness including stiffness in cerebral arteries, thus increasing the burden of cSVD. Therefore, noninvasive screening for high PI by TCD in kidney failure patients might be helpful. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background and purpose: Previous studies have reported that early hospital arrival improves clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke; however, whether early arrival is associated with favorable outcomes regardless of reperfusion therapy and the type of stroke onset time is unclear. Thus, we investigated the impact of onset-to-door time on outcomes and evaluated the predictors of pre-hospital delay after ischemic stroke. Methods: Consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients who arrived at the hospital within five days of onset from September 2019 to May 2020 were selected from the prospective stroke registries of Seoul National University Hospital and Chung-Ang University Hospital of Seoul, Korea. Patients were divided into early (onset-to-door time, ≤4.5 h) and late (>4.5 h) arrivers. Multivariate analyses were performed to assess the effect of early arrival on clinical outcomes and predictors of late arrival. Results: Among the 539 patients, 28.4% arrived early and 71.6% arrived late. Early hospital arrival was significantly associated with favorable outcomes (three-month modified Rankin Scale [mRS]: 0−2, adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 2.03, 95% confidence interval: [CI] 1.04–3.96) regardless of various confounders, including receiving reperfusion therapy and type of stroke onset time. Furthermore, a lower initial National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (aOR: 0.94, 95% CI: 0.90–0.97), greater pre-stroke mRS score (aOR: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.18–2.13), female sex (aOR: 1.71, 95% CI: 1.14–2.58), unclear onset time, and ≤6 years of schooling (aOR: 1.76, 95% CI: 1.03–3.00 compared to >12 years of schooling) were independent predictors of late arrival. Conclusions: Thus, the onset-to-door time of≤4.5 h is crucial for better clinical outcome, and lower NIHSS score, greater pre-stroke mRS score, female sex, unclear onset times, and ≤6 years of schooling were independent predictors of late arrival. Therefore, educating about the importance of early hospital arrival after acute ischemic stroke should be emphasized. More strategic efforts are needed to reduce the prehospital delay by understanding the predictors of late arrival. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Although blood pressure (BP) variability has been regarded as a risk factor for hemorrhagic transformation (HTF) after intravenous thrombolysis, its effect on HTF after endovascular recanalization therapy (ERT) remains to be elucidated. We aimed to study the relationship between BP variability and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) after successful recanalization with ERT.Methods: A total of 211 patients with acute ischemic stroke and successful recanalization (thrombolysis in cerebral infarction 2b or 3) after ERT were included between January 2013 and May 2017. The BP data following ERT was obtained over the first 24 hours using parameters including mean, maximum, minimum, difference between maximum and minimum, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, successive variations, and time rate (TR) of BP variation for systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP. sICH was defined as parenchymal hemorrhage type 2 with neurological deterioration of 4 points of more on the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale.Results: Among the included patients, 20 (9.5%) developed sICH after successful ERT. The parameters linked with BP fluctuation over time were significantly related to sICH. After adjusting for confounders, the TR of SBP (per 0.1 mmHg/min increase) variation was independently associated with sICH (odds ratio = 1.71, 95% confidence interval = 1.013-2.886).Interpretation: Time-related BP variability in the first 24 hours following successful ERT was more correlated with sICH than other absolute BP levels. This suggests that maintaining a stable BP may be an important factor in preventing sICH after successful ERT. Ann Neurol 2019;85:574-581. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Background: Inflammation plays an important role in atherosclerosis and its complications. Since a dysregulated inflammatory response is associated with early neurological deterioration (END), serum neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) could be a marker of END as well. Aim: In this study, we evaluated the relationship between the serum NLR and END in patients with ischemic stroke due to large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA). Methods: We evaluated consecutive patients with ischemic stroke due to LAA between January 2010 and December 2015. END was defined as an increase ≥ 2 on the total NIHSS score or ≥ 1 on the motor NIHSS score within the first 72 hours of admission. The NLR was calculated by dividing the absolute neutrophil count by the absolute lymphocyte count. Results: Of the 349 included patients, 18.1% (n = 63) had END events. In multivariate analysis, serum NLR was independently associated with END (adjusted odds ratio, 1.08; 95% confidence interval [1.00–1.16], P = 0.043). Time to admission, and in-situ thrombosis and artery-to-artery embolization mechanisms were also significantly associated with END events. In an analysis of the relationship between serum NLR and vascular lesion burden, serum NLR was positively correlated with both the degree of stenotic lesions (P for trend = 0.006) and the number of vessel stenosis (P for trend = 0.038) in a dose-response manner. We also compared serum NLR by the stroke mechanisms: patients with hypoperfusion or in-situ thrombosis had the highest levels of NLR: however, only those with in-situ thrombosis had significantly higher NLR in the END group compared to the non-END group (P = 0.005). Conclusions: Serum NLR levels were associated with END events in patients with ischemic stroke due to LAA. Since NLR was also closely correlated with the underlying vascular lesions, our results indicated clues for mechanisms of END events. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Melanin pigments are the primary contributors for the skin color. They are produced in melanocytes and then transferred to keratinocytes, eventually giving various colors on skin surface. Although many depigmenting and/or skin-lightening agents have been developed, there is still a growing demand on materials for reducing pigmentation. We attempted to find materials for depigmentation and/or skin-lightening using the small molecule compounds commercially available, and found that 5-iodotubercidin had inhibitory potential on pigmentation. When HM3KO melanoma cells were treated with 5-iodotubercidin, pigmentation was dramatically reduced. The 5-iodotubercidin decreased the protein level for pigmentation-related molecules such as MITF, tyrosinase, and TRP1. In addition, 5-iodotubercidin decreased the phosphorylation of CREB, while increased the phosphorylation of AKT and ERK. These data suggest that 5-iodotubercidin inhibits melanogenesis via the regulation of intracellular signaling related with pigmentation. Finally, 5-iodotubercidin markedly inhibited the melanogenesis of zebrafish embryos, an in vivo evaluation model for pigmentation. Together, these data suggest that 5-iodotubercidin can be developed as a depigmenting and/or skin-lightening agent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The physical, mechanical properties and formability of sheet metal depend on preferred crystallographic orientations (texture). In this research work, we investigated texture development and formability of AA 3003 aluminum alloy sheets after asymmetry rolling and subsequent heat treatment. After asymmetry rolling, the specimens showed fine grain size. We also investigated the change of the plastic strain ratios after asymmetry rolling and subsequent heat-treating condition. The plastic strain ratios of asymmetrically rolled and subsequent heat treated samples are 1.5 times higher than the initial AA 3003 Al alloy sheets. These could be attributed to the formation of ND//<111> texture component through asymmetry rolling in Al sheet. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The microstructure, pole figure and r-value of the frictionally rolled and subsequently heat treated AA 5052 Al sheets were investigated by optical microscopy, x-ray diffractometer and tensile tester, respectively. Frictionally rolled AA 5052 Al specimens showed a fine grain size. After subsequently heat treated specimens, the ND//<111> texture component was increased. The r-values of the frictionally rolled and subsequently heat treated Al alloy sheets were about two times higher than those of the original Al sheets. These could be related to the formation of ND//<111> texture components through frictional rolling in and subsequent heat treatment of AA 5052 Al sheet. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Marked protein catabolism is common in critically ill patients. We hypothesized that optimal protein supplementation using nitrogen balance might be associated with better outcomes in the neurointensive care unit (NICU) patients. A total of 175 patients admitted to the NICU between July 2017 and December 2018 were included. Nitrogen balance was measured after NICU admission and measurements were repeated in 77 patients. The outcomes were compared according to initial nitrogen balance results and improvement of nitrogen balance on follow-up measurements. A total of 140 (80.0%) patients had a negative nitrogen balance on initial assessments. The negative balance group had more events of in-hospital mortality and poor functional outcome at three months. In follow-up measurement patients, 39 (50.6%) showed an improvement in nitrogen balance. The improvement group had fewer events of in-hospital mortality (p = 0.047) and poor functional outcomes (p = 0.046). Moreover, improvement of nitrogen balance was associated with a lower risk of poor functional outcomes (Odds ratio, 0.247; 95% confidence interval, 0.066–0.925, p = 0.038). This study demonstrated that a significant proportion of patients in the NICU were under protein hypercatabolism. Moreover, an improvement in protein balance was related to improved outcomes in neurocritically ill patients. Further studies are needed to confirm the relationship between protein balance and outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The prognosis for cardiac arrest (CA) is associated with the degree of cerebral ischemia. We investigated the relationship between the wavelet coherence of cerebral oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) among different channels and outcomes after CA. Moreover, we aimed to develop a prognostication method after CA.Methods: Eighty-three post-resuscitation patients were included. The HbO2 data were collected during the post-resuscitation period (median day, 1) using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. The coherence between sections of prefrontal HbO2 oscillations in five frequency intervals (I, 0.6-2 Hz; II, 0.15-0.6 Hz; III, 0.05-0.15 Hz; IV, 0.02-0.05 Hz; and V, 0.0095-0.02 Hz) were analyzed. We evaluated the outcomes using cerebral performance category (CPC) scores (good outcome, CPC ≤ 2 and poor outcome, CPC ≥ 3) at 3 months after CA. Additionally, the predictive method was developed using the biomarker and coherence value after CA.Results: Among the included patients, 19 patients (22.9%) had a good outcome. Poor outcome group had significantly lower phase coherence in the myogenic frequency interval III compared to good outcome group (0.36 ± 0.14 vs. 0.54 ± 0.18, P < 0.001). The predictive method using neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and interval III value demonstrated good discrimination (area under the curve 0.919; 95% confidence interval, 0.850-0.989).Conclusions: The predictive method using NSE and phase coherence of HbO2 in the interval III from the vascular smooth muscle cells could be a useful tool for prognosticating after CA. This suggests that evaluating cerebral ischemia using phase coherence of HbO2 might be a helpful outcome predictor following CA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Background: Thrombi retrieved from patients with acute ischemic stroke may contain prognostic information., Objective: To investigate the relationship between the immunologic phenotype of thrombi and future vascular events in patients with a stroke., Methods: This study included patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent endovascular thrombectomy at Chung-Ang University Hospital in Seoul, Korea, between February 2017 and January 2020. Laboratory and histological variables were compared between patients with and without recurrent vascular events (RVEs). Kaplan-Meier analysis followed by the Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify factors related to RVE. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was conducted to evaluate the performance of the immunologic score by combining immunohistochemical phenotypes to predict RVE., Results: A total of 46 patients were included in the study with 13 RVEs (mean±SD age, 72.8±11.3 years; 26 (56.5%) men). Thrombi with a lower percentage of programmed death ligand-1 expression (HR=11.64; 95% CI 1.60 to 84.82) and a higher number of citrullinated histone H3 positive cells (HR=4.19; 95% CI 0.81 to 21.75) were associated with RVE. The presence of high-mobility group box 1 positive cell was associated with reduced risk of RVE, but the association was lost after adjustment for stroke severity. The immunologic score, which consists of the three immunohistochemical phenotypes, showed good performance in predicting RVE (area under the ROC curve, 0.858; 95% CI 0.758 to 0.958)., Conclusions: The immunological phenotype of thrombi could provide prognostic information after stroke., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2024.

- Abstract
Rationale: The optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel-aspirin for the large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke subtype has been debated., Aims: To determine whether the 1-year risk of recurrent vascular events could be reduced by a longer duration of DAPT in patients with the LAA stroke subtype., Methods and Study Design: A total of 4806 participants will be recruited to detect a statistically significant relative risk reduction of 22% with 80% power and a two-sided alpha error of 0.05, including a 10% loss to follow-up. This is a registry-based, multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end point study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a 12-month duration of DAPT compared with a 3-month duration of DAPT in the LAA stroke subtype. Patients will be randomized (1:1) to either DAPT for 12 months or DAPT for 3 months, followed by monotherapy (either aspirin or clopidogrel) for the remaining 9 months., Study Outcomes: The primary efficacy outcome of the study is a composite of stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic), myocardial infarction, and all-cause mortality for 1 year after the index stroke. The secondary efficacy outcomes are (1) stroke, (2) ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, (3) hemorrhagic stroke, and (4) all-cause mortality. The primary safety outcome is major bleeding., Discussion: This study will help stroke physicians determine the appropriate duration of dual therapy with clopidogrel-aspirin for patients with the LAA stroke subtype., Trial Registration: URL: https://cris.nih.go.kr/cris.

- Abstract
Background: We investigated the microRNA expression pattern from thrombus retrieved by mechanical thrombectomy in acute stroke patients to understand the stroke mechanism., Methods: This study included acute ischemic stroke patients who had undergone intra-arterial thrombectomy at Chung-Ang University Hospital in Seoul, Korea between February 2016 and March 2019. The thrombus was retrieved and stored at -70℃ after obtaining informed consent. MicroRNA microarray analysis was performed for the patients with identified stroke mechanisms including (1) large artery atherosclerosis, (2) cardioembolism with atrial fibrillation, and (3) cardioembolism with valvular heart disease. The microRNAs derived from microarray analysis were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) from different patient populations. The correlation analysis was performed between microRNA levels and laboratory data to understand the functional relevance of the altered microRNA., Results: In total, 55 thrombi were obtained from 74 patients, and the microRNAs were analyzed in 45 samples. Microarray analysis of 2578 microRNAs revealed that 50 microRNAs were significantly altered among the three groups. Validation using qRT-PCR showed that miR-378f and miR-450b-5p were significantly elevated among the cardioembolic thrombi; both microRNAs were inversely correlated with the ejection fraction from echocardiography. Thrombi from patients with early neurological deterioration exhibited higher levels of miR-93-5p and lower levels of miR-629-5p than those from neurologically stable patients., Conclusions: The microRNA expression pattern can provide information regarding the mechanism of stroke by reflecting the underlying pathological status of the organ from which the thrombus was derived., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2022.

- Abstract
Background: Hydroxyethyl starch (HES, 6% 130/0.4) has been used as a volume expander for the treatment of cerebral hypoperfusion in acute ischemic stroke. Although HES use was associated with renal failure in sepsis or critical illness, it still remains to be elucidated whether HES is linked to renal adverse events in patients with acute ischemic stroke., Methods: A total of 524 patients with acute ischemic stroke within 7 days of onset were included between January 2012 and May 2016. Renal function on admission and follow-up on day 7 ± 2 was assessed using serum creatinine (SCr) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to perform a 1:1 matched-pair analysis to minimize the group differences caused by covariates. The percentage of patients with new-onset acute renal injury (AKI) using the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes or good functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale 0-2) at 90 days were compared between HES cohort and controls., Results: Among the included patients (mean age, 68.6 years; male, 56.5%), 81 patients (15.5%) were HES cohort (median cumulative dose, 1,450 mL). Baseline renal function was better in HES cohort compared to that in the controls (SCr, 0.87 ± 0.43 mg/dL vs. 1.15 ± 1.15 mg/dL, P < 0.001; eGFR, 86.91 ± 24.27 mL/min vs. 74.55 ± 29.58 mL/min, P < 0.001), which became not significant in PSM cohort (72 pairs). The percentage of new-onset AKI did not differ between the HES cohort and controls (1.4% vs. 1.4%, P = 1.000). In addition, new-onset AKI was not related to HES (odds ratio, 1.422; 95% confidence interval, 0.072-28.068; P = 0.817) after adjusting for confounders. HES cohort tended to have higher percentage of good functional outcome at 90 days compared to controls, which failed to reach statistical significance (68.1% vs. 54.2%, P = 0.087)., Conclusion: A low cumulative dose of HES was not associated with renal adverse events in patients with acute ischemic stroke., Competing Interests: The authors have no potential conflicts of interest to disclose., (© 2020 The Korean Academy of Medical Sciences.)

- Abstract
Background and Purpose: We investigated whether the intracranial arterial calcification status reflects the overall cerebral atherosclerosis burden., Methods: Patients with acute cerebral infarction who were admitted to a single university hospital stroke center and underwent brain computed tomography angiography (CTA) between May 2011 and December 2015 were included. We reviewed their demographic, clinical, and imaging data. Cerebral artery calcification was assessed from the cavernous portion of both internal carotid arteries, and patients were categorized into three groups according to the calcification status. The cerebral atherosclerosis score was calculated as the sum of the degree of stenosis of the major intracranial and extracranial arteries on brain CTA., Results: In total, 1,161 patients were included (age=67±13 years, mean±standard deviation), of which 517 were female. Intracranial arterial calcification and atherosclerosis were detected in 921 patients. The cerebral atherosclerosis score tended to increase with the calcification status (no calcification=2.0±3.0, mild=3.8±3.8, severe=6.5±4.8; p <0.001 in analysis of variance followed by the Bonferroni test). Multivariable logistic regression analysis including age, sex, vascular risk factors, body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and calcification status showed that intracranial calcification was independently associated with an advanced cerebral atherosclerosis burden in a dose-dependent manner (compared to no calcification: odds ratio=2.0 and 95% confidence interval=1.1-3.4 for mild calcification, and odds ratio=4.7 and 95% confidence interval=2.7-8.3 for severe calcification)., Conclusions: This study found that the calcification status of the cavernous portion of an internal carotid artery can reflect the overall cerebral atherosclerosis burden., Competing Interests: The authors have no financial conflicts of interest., (Copyright © 2019 Korean Neurological Association.)

- Abstract
Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare autoimmune disease that is characterized by inflammatory reaction of unknown etiology and destruction of cartilaginous structures. Characteristic symptoms of this disease include cartilage inflammation of the ear, nose, larynx, trachea, bronchi, joints, eyes, heart and skin. Concomitance with neurologic symptom is very rare in RP, and the detailed underlying mechanism of neurological involvement associated with RP is not fully understood. We herein described an unusual recurrent case of inflammatory brain lesions associated with RP, with attention to clinical manifestations, autoimmune disease involvement, and therapeutic effects.
