| ○ | Article | Impact of Nusinersen on the Health-Related Quality of Life and Caregiver Burden in Patients with Spinal Muscular Atrophy with Symptom Onset before the Age of 6 Months | Purpose: This study investigated the impact of nusinersen on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), functional performance, and caregiver burden in patients with infantile-onset spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), addressing a growing interest in disease-modifying treatments. Methods: A 14-month observational study was conducted to evaluate changes in HRQoL and functional performance using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) Infant Scales and the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory Computer Adaptive Test (PEDI-CAT). Caregiver burden was assessed through the Assessment of Caregiver Experience with Neuromuscular Disease (ACEND). Motor function was evaluated using the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders (CHOP INTEND). Correlations between CHOP INTEND scores, functional performance, and caregiver burden were analyzed. Results: Eight patients with infantile-onset SMA and their caregivers participated, with a median treatment initiation age of 4.6 months (range, 1.1 to 15.1). CHOP INTEND scores showed significant improvement (P<0.001), whereas all PedsQL Infant Scale scores declined. Conversely, the PEDI-CAT revealed significant enhancements in daily activities, mobility, and social-cognitive domains (all P<0.001). Caregiver burden lessened across most dimensions (P<0.001), with the exception of the time-related burden (P=0.731). Higher CHOP INTEND scores correlated with improvements in PEDI-CAT domains and a reduction in caregiver burden related to sitting/play and transfer activities. Conclusion: The study demonstrates the positive effects of nusinersen on functional performance and caregiver burden in patients with infantile-onset SMA. However, discrepancies were observed in HRQoL outcomes, suggesting a need for further research that includes SMA-specific outcome measures to comprehensively assess the treatment's impact on patients' lives. © 2025 Korean Child Neurology Society. | Lee, Yun Jeong; Bae, Hyunwoo; Shim, Young Kyu; Cho, Jae So; Chae, Jong Hee; Kwon, Soonhak | Department of Pediatrics, Kyungpook National University Hospital, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea; Department of Pediatrics, Kyungpook National University Children’s Hospital, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea; Department of Pediatrics, Korea University Ansan Hospital, Seoul, South Korea; Department of Pediatrics, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seoul, South Korea; Department of Pediatrics, Pediatric Clinical Neuroscience Center, Seoul National University Children's Hospital, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea, Department of Genomic Medicine, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, South Korea; Department of Pediatrics, Kyungpook National University Children’s Hospital, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea | 55978748900; 57877451300; 57205656646; 57192705810; 16241023700; 55468232200 | chaeped1@snu.ac.kr; shkwon@knu.ac.kr; | Annals of Child Neurology | 2635-909X | 33 | 2 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 0 | Caregiver burden; Nusinersen; Quality of life; Spinal muscular atrophies of childhood | nusinersen; Article; Assessment of Caregiver Experience with Neuromuscular Disease; caregiver burden; Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders; clinical article; clinical outcome; cognition; daily life activity; disability assessment; human; infancy; infant; loading drug dose; motor performance; observational study; onset age; Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory Computer Adaptive Test; Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory; physical mobility; play; quality of life; sitting; social interaction; spinal muscular atrophy; stress assessment; time to treatment | English | Final | 2025 | 10.26815/acn.2024.00668 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | |||||||||||||||
| ○ | Article | Implementation of Parallelization Techniques for PIM-Based JPEG Decoder in High-Resolution Image Processing | JPEG is a digital image format widely used in various applications due to its ability to effectively reduce image file size. JPEG decoding involves restoring compressed image data for display or post-processing and plays a crucial role in fields such as real-time applications and deep learning, where large-scale image processing is required. However, JPEG decoding can become a performance bottleneck, prompting the development of various accelerator-based parallel processing techniques. Recently, research utilizing Processing-in-Memory (PIM) architectures has gained attention. Existing studies on PIM-based JPEG decoders have applied hardware threads and the AAN algorithm to improve performance, but limitations such as constrained memory capacity per DPU and lack of inter-DPU communication have restricted the resolution of image that can be processed. In this paper, we propose a modified JPEG decoding pipeline to overcome these limitations. By performing Huffman decoding in the host CPU, the need for inter-DPU communication is eliminated, enabling parallel processing without data dependencies between MCUs (Minimum Coded Units). Experiments conducted on the UPMEM PIM server using a high-resolution image dataset show that the proposed decoder can successfully decode high-resolution images that the existing PIM decoder could not process. © 2025, Korean Institute of Communications and Information Sciences.

| ○ | Conference paper | Improvement of Room Temperature Formability in Mg–Zn–Zr Alloy Sheet by Thermo-Mechanical Treatment | Magnesium alloyMagnesium alloy sheets generally show a strong basal textureTexture, resulting in a poor formabilityFormability due to their hexagonal closed-packed crystal structure having an axial ratio of 1.624, which is closed to the ideal value of 1.633. Lots of attempts have been made in order to improve the formabilityFormabilityofMg Mg alloy sheets by the addition of alloying elements (Ca/RE with Zn) or applying severe plastic deformation (ECAP, HPT, etc.). In this study, the textureTexture evolution of Mg–Zn–Zr and Mg–Zn–Zr–Gd alloys during the thermo-mechanical treatmentThermo-mechanical treatment have been analyzed and compared in detail. The modified thermo-mechanical treatmentThermo-mechanical treatment was subjected to achieve similar microstructureMicrostructure and textureTexture evolution in both alloys, resulting in a weakened textureTexture and a comparable formabilityFormability in Mg–Zn–Zr alloy to Mg–Zn–Zr–Gd alloy at room temperature. This study suggests that the formabilityFormability of Mg alloys exhibiting a strong basal textureTexture also can be significantly improved by thermo-mechanical treatmentThermo-mechanical treatment. © The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society 2025. | Yu, Seoungyooun; Ma, Ying; Kim, Young Min; Park, Sung Hyuk; Suh, Byeong-Chan | Korea Institute of Materials Science, Changwon, South Korea, KyungPook National University, Daegu, South Korea; Korea Institute of Materials Science, Changwon, South Korea, Pusan National University, Busan, South Korea; Korea Institute of Materials Science, Changwon, South Korea; KyungPook National University, Daegu, South Korea; Korea Institute of Materials Science, Changwon, South Korea | 59680323800; 59679029100; 58795669000; 59817285700; 56865568100 | bcsuh@kims.re.kr; | Minerals, Metals and Materials Series | 2367-1181 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 0 | Formability; Magnesium alloy; Recrystallization; Texture; Thermo-mechanical treatment | Calcium alloys; Gadolinium alloys; Magnesium printing plates; Recrystallization (metallurgy); Ternary alloys; Tin alloys; Zinc alloys; Zirconium alloys; Alloy sheets; Axial ratio; Crystals structures; Ideal values; Mechanical treatments; Mg alloy sheets; Recrystallisation; Thermo-mechanical; Thermo-mechanical treatments; Zr alloys; Magnesium alloys | English | Final | 2025 | 10.1007/978-3-031-81061-9_14 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | |||||||||||||||||
| ○ | Article | Improving the Efficiency of Container Image Deployment through a Cluster Container Registry | Large-scale machine learning models and data analysis applications use container images to process vast amounts of data, and there is a problem of lengthening the distribution time of such images Longer image distribution time slows down the development and distribution cycle, which lowers productivity and can reduce the performance and flexibility of the entire system. In order to solve this problem, we propose ways to improve container image management and distribution efficiency. We focus on how to reduce time and traffic consumption compared to image downloading through the cloud by utilizing cluster container registry (CCR) when distributing images. Experiments were conducted in a Kubernetes, and the efficiency of container image management and distribution process was explored. Compared to the existing method, the distribution time was reduced by an average of 30% in each scenario, with larger image sizes showing even greater improvements © 2024, Author.

| ○ | Article | In silico analysis of dual tyrosinase and elastase inhibition by bioactive ingredients from Gardenia jasminoides seeds; [치자나무 씨앗 성분에 의한 타이로시나제 및 엘라스타제 이중억제에 대한 인실리코 분석] | Recent research highlights the bioactive potential of Gardenia jasminoides seed (GJS) extract, which is rich in flavonoids and carotenoids, for promoting skin health. This study investigates GJS’s dual inhibitory effects on tyrosinase and elastase, suggesting its potential as a functional ingredient in cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals. Using LC-MS/MS and in silico screening (AutoDock Vina and Molegro Virtual Docker), key compounds were identified based on their binding affinity, enabling rapid and cost-effective bioactivity screening. Tyrosinase inhibitors with the highest binding affinities included rutin (RUT), coumaroylgenipin gentiobioside (CGG), and dicaffeoylquinic acid (DQA), while crocin A (CRA) and RUT were identified as elastase inhibitors. Notably, RUT, CRA, CGG, and feruloylgenipin gentiobioside (FGS) exhibited high affinities for both enzymes. Swiss ADME analysis revealed some limitations for oral use, although RUT showed low toxicity in Protox2 assessments. Additionally, the study explored GJS’s role in modulating the Keap1-Nrf2 antioxidant pathway, with promising findings for industrial applications and encouraging further research on its bioactive compounds. © 2025 The Korean Society of Food Preservation. | Na, Jae-Sik; Song, Bo-Rim; Choi, Won-Sik; Lee, Tae-Hun; Choe, Deokyeong; Lee, Sang-Han | Department of Food Science and Biotechnology, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, 41566, South Korea; Department of Food Science and Biotechnology, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, 41566, South Korea; Research Institute, Jeonjin Bio Co., Ltd., Daegu, 42703, South Korea; Research Institute, Jeonjin Bio Co., Ltd., Daegu, 42703, South Korea; Department of Food Science and Biotechnology, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, 41566, South Korea, Food and Bio-Industry Research Institute, Inner Beauty, Anti-Ageing Center, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, 41566, South Korea; Department of Food Science and Biotechnology, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, 41566, South Korea, Food and Bio-Industry Research Institute, Inner Beauty, Anti-Ageing Center, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, 41566, South Korea, KNUBIO, Daegu, 41566, South Korea | 59927101100; 57223138662; 57196274859; 57196280020; 37074453400; 57221453703 | sang@knu.ac.kr; | Food Science and Preservation | 3022-5477 | 32 | 2 | 0 | 2025-06-11 | 0 | elastase; Gardenia jasminoides; jasminoside A; molecular docking; tyrosinase | Korean | Final | 2025 | 10.11002/fsp.2025.32.2.328 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||||||||||||||||
| ○ | Article | Influence of Adipose-Derived Stem Cell-Enhanced Acellular Dermal Matrix on Capsule Formation in Rat Models | Background: The use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in breast reconstruction can inhibit capsular contracture, increasing the success rate of surgery. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) can effectively suppress foreign body reaction, which is a major cause of capsular contracture. This study aimed to elucidate the synergistic effects of combining ADSCs with ADM on capsule formation, utilizing a rat model. Methods: The study utilized 12 rats, equally divided into two experimental groups. Group A received silicone implants covered with ADM, while Group B was implanted with silicone prostheses wrapped in ADM, pre-seeded with ADSCs. Capsule formation was assessed through visual examination, histological analysis, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) at 4 and 8 weeks post-implantation. Results: At 4 weeks, the mean capsular thickness was 177.16 μm in Group A and 170.76 μm in Group B; at 8 weeks, it was 196.69 μm in Group A and 176.10 μm in Group B. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference in capsule thickness between the groups (P>0.05). Histological findings indicated that Group A had more inflammatory cells and collagen fibers and reduced angiogenesis. RT-PCR showed that angiogenesis-promoting gene expression in Group B was 14% higher at 4 weeks and 156% higher at 8 weeks compared to Group A. Conclusion: Although no statistically significant reduction in capsule thickness was observed, ADSC-seeded implants showed histological features associated with reduced inflammation and enhanced angiogenesis, suggesting potential benefits in capsule formation management. © 2025 Korean Wound Management Society. | Kang, Hyun Su; Kang, Myeong Jae; Hong, Hyun Ki; Ryu, Jeong Yeop; Lee, Joon Seok; Choi, Kang Young; Chung, Ho Yun; Park, Ho Yong; Yang, Jung Dug | Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea; Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea; Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea; Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea; Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea; Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea; Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea; Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea; Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea | 58890125800; 57445997600; 57210147816; 56366349400; 59349262100; 59819361900; 7404007181; 59613158700; 55171704700 | lambyang@knu.ac.kr; | Journal of Wound Management and Research | 2586-0402 | 21 | 1 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 0 | Acellular dermis; Breast implants; Capsules; Stem cells | English | Final | 2025 | 10.22467/jwmr.2024.02964 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||||||||||||||||
| ○ | Article | Influence of COVID-19–Induced Anxiety on Job Turnover Intention among Emergency Room Nurses during the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Mediating Effect of Needs Satisfaction: A Cross-Sectional Study | Purpose: During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, anxiety and need satisfaction may predict turnover intention among emergency room nurses, with need satisfaction negatively influencing turnover intention. This study aimed to examine the mediating effect of need satisfaction on the relationship between COVID-19–induced anxiety and job turnover intention among emergency room nurses during the pandemic. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study recruited 206 emergency room nurses from 11 hospitals in South Korea. Data were collected using a questionnaire from December 2022 to February 2023. Results: High COVID-19–induced anxiety was associated with increased turnover intention among nurses. Physiological needs partially mediated the relationship between COVID-19–induced anxiety and turnover intention. However, safety and belongingness needs showed no mediating effect. Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, if physiological needs were not satisfied, reducing anxiety and turnover intention among emergency room nurses proved challenging, even when other needs were met. Therefore, physiological needs should be prioritized and addressed before focusing on other types of needs. © 2025 Korean Society of Adult Nursing | Seo, Yu Jin; Lee, Myung Kyung | Department of Nursing, Graduate School, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea; College of Nursing, Research Institute of Nursing Innovation, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea | 55190542800; 40661513200 | mlee@knu.ac.kr; | Korean Journal of Adult Nursing | 1225-4886 | 37 | 2 | 0 | 2025-06-11 | 0 | Anxiety; Intention; Personnel turnover; Physiological need; Safety | English | Final | 2025 | 10.7475/kjan.2025.0109 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||||||||||||||||

| ○ | Conference paper | Learning 2D Human Poses for Better 3D Lifting via Multi-model 3D-Guidance | Recent advancements in 2D pose detectors have significantly improved 3D human pose estimation via the 2D-to-3D lifting approach. Despite these advancements, a substantial accuracy gap remains between using ground-truth 2D poses and detected 2D poses for 3D lifting. However, most methods focus solely on enhancing the 3D lifting network, using 2D pose detectors optimized for 2D accuracy without any refinement to better serve the 3D lifting process. To address this limitation, we propose a novel 3D-guided training method that leverages 3D loss to improve 2D pose estimation. Additionally, we introduce a multi-model training method to ensure robust generalization across various 3D lifting networks. Extensive experiments with three 2D pose detectors and four 3D lifting networks demonstrate our method’s effectiveness. Our method achieves an average improvement of 4.6% in MPJPE on Human3.6M and 16.8% on Panoptic, enhancing 2D poses for accurate 3D lifting.

| ○ | Article | Learning Curve Analysis: Impact of Ligamentum Flavum Removal Methods on Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Laminectomy for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis | Objective: Despite the increasingly widespread adoption of unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) decompressive laminectomy for lumbar spinal stenosis, the learning curve for surgeons new to endoscopic techniques remains a significant barrier. This study aimed to quantify this learning curve and identify strategies to expedite proficiency, focusing on reducing operative times and complications. Methods: The cumulative summation test was used to evaluate the learning curves for both the operative time and the degree of intraoperative dural tear occurrence. Moreover, clinical outcomes and postoperative complications were compared between the cranial and caudal approaches, depending on the direction of ligamentum flavum removal. Results: In total, 54 patients were included, with 22 in the cranial group and 32 in the caudal group. The operative time was notably shorter in the caudal group (cranial group, 110.86±32.63 minutes; caudal group, 79.56±24.21 minutes; p<0.01), and the complication rate was considerably lower (cranial group, 40%; caudal group, 15%; p=0.04). Twenty-six patients and 29 patients were needed to overcome the learning curves for operative time and intraoperative dural tear occurrence, respectively. Conclusion: Although UBE surgery has a short learning curve, a considerable number of cases (26 and 29, respectively) were needed to achieve competency in terms of operative time and intraoperative dural tear occurrence. We highlight the caudal-to-cranial direction of ligamentum flavum dissection and removal as a way to decrease the number of dural tears and shorten the operative time. © 2025 Korean Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Society. | Joe, Woo Hyeong; Kwon, Sae Min; Lee, Chang-Young; Kim, Chang-Hyun; Kwon, Min-Yong; Kim, Jae Hyun; Kim, In Soo; Ko, Young San | Department of Neurosurgery, Dongsan Medical Center, Keimyung University School of Medicine, Daegu, South Korea; Department of Neurosurgery, Dongsan Medical Center, Keimyung University School of Medicine, Daegu, South Korea; Department of Neurosurgery, Dongsan Medical Center, Keimyung University School of Medicine, Daegu, South Korea; Department of Neurosurgery, Dongsan Medical Center, Keimyung University School of Medicine, Daegu, South Korea; Department of Neurosurgery, Dongsan Medical Center, Keimyung University School of Medicine, Daegu, South Korea; Department of Neurosurgery, Dongsan Medical Center, Keimyung University School of Medicine, Daegu, South Korea; Department of Neurosurgery, Dongsan Medical Center, Keimyung University School of Medicine, Daegu, South Korea; Department of Neurosurgery, Kyungpook National University Hospital, Daegu, South Korea, Department of Neurosurgery, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea | 59895984100; 57201938493; 56658054500; 56059033400; 57191363822; 57226463187; 55477736900; 57767618800 | samkyu1@hotmail.com; | Journal of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery and Technique | 2508-2043 | 10 | 1 | 0 | 2025-06-11 | 0 | Laminectomy; Learning curve; Ligamentum flavum; Minimally invasive surgery; Spinal stenosis | English | Final | 2025 | 10.21182/jmisst.2024.01522 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||||||||||||||||

Unlike conventional offline-trained predictors that suffer from unfamiliar environments, our online re-training framework adapts to varying channel conditions by re-training the networks from scratch. To minimize the re-training time for practical implementation, we introduce an aggregated learning (AL) approach for massive multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems. AL splits and aggregates training data in array or frequency domains of MIMO-OFDM channels, significantly reducing data collection time. Numerical results show that AL not only decreases training time overhead but also improves prediction performance across various scenarios. © 2025 IEEE. | Ko, Beomsoo; Kim, Hwanjin; Kim, Minje; Choi, Junil | School of Electrical Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon, South Korea; School of Electronics Engineering, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea; School of Electrical Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon, South Korea; School of Electrical Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon, South Korea | 57414793300; 57204105066; 58930082700; 59722155200 | kobs0318@kaist.ac.kr; mjkim97@kaist.ac.kr; junil@kaist.ac.kr; | IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference, WCNC | 1525-3511 | 0 | 2025-06-11 | 0 | Channel prediction; machine learning; massive MIMO; online re-training; training time overhead | Channel estimate; Channel prediction; Machine-learning; Massive MIMO; Multipleinput multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems (MIMO-OFDM); Online re-training; Outdated channel state informations; Training overhead; Training time; Training time overhead | English | Final | 2025 | 10.1109/wcnc61545.2025.10978484 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | |||||||||||||||||
| ○ | Article | Magnolia denudata desr. seed extract ameliorates oxidative stress-induced damage through heme oxygenase-1 activation in murine myoblasts | This study examines the potential protective effects of Magnolia denudata Desr. seed extract (MSE) against oxidative stress in C2C12 myoblasts. MSE treatment improved cell survival under hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2)-induced stress and reduced apoptotic markers. It also exhibited antioxidant properties by suppressing intracellular ROS accumulation and modulating key regulatory pathways. Notably, MSE enhanced the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) through Nrf2 activation, suggesting its involvement in cellular defense mechanisms. These results indicate that MSE may serve as a functional material for mitigating oxidative stress-related muscle deterioration. © The Korean Society for Applied Biological Chemistry 2025. | Kwon, Minjeong; Seo, Yeonju; Nam, Ju-Ock | Department of Food Science and Biotechnology, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, 41566, South Korea; Department of Food Science and Biotechnology, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, 41566, South Korea; Department of Food Science and Biotechnology, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, 41566, South Korea, Institute of Agricultural Science & Technology, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, 41556, South Korea | 57547402100; 58042612000; 7201496105 | namjo@knu.ac.kr; | Journal of Applied Biological Chemistry | 1976-0442 | 68 | 1 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 0 | Antioxidant; Apoptosis; Muscle damage; Myoblast; Oxidative stress | English | Final | 2025 | 10.3839/jabc.2025.016 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||||||||||||||||
| ○ | Article | miRNA dysregulation in Duchenne muscular dystrophy comorbidities | BACKGROUND Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a neuromuscular disorder caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. DMD is reported to coexist with other comorbidities, although the occurrence of the triad, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and epilepsy is very rare. Indeed, only one case of the triad has currently been reported. Here, we present a detailed case report of a ten-year-old boy with DMD, ASD, and epilepsy. We also investigated the dysregulation of miRNAs in this unusual triad (represented as DMD++) compared with a healthy individual and a DMD patient (represented as DMD+) without autism. AIM To understand the differential expression of miRNAs in rare comorbid DMD cases. METHODS The Sequin Form Board test, Gesell's drawing test, multiplex ligation probe amplification, and Vineland Social Maturity Scale were applied to confirm the DMD and ASD. Total RNA was isolated from samples using TRIzol. cDNA was synthesized using the Mir-X™ miRNA First-Strand Synthesis kit. qRT-PCR was performed using SYBR Advantage qPCR Premix. The results were statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance with Tukey's ttest. RESULTS miR-146a-5p and miR-132-5p showed significant downregulation in both patient samples. miR-199a-5p and miR-146a-3p showed no change in expression between the diseased and controls. miR-132-3p showed downregulation only in the DMD+ sample (0.21 ± 0.04). The decrease in miR-132-3p can result in failed silencing of the phosphatase and tensin homolog-mediated apoptotic pathway, leading to severe skeletal muscle atrophy. Here, the downregulation of miR-132-3p in DMD+ is consistent with severe muscle loss and higher disease progression than that in DMD++. DMD++ has slower disease progression, and the expression of miRNA involved in inflammatory and apoptotic responses is more similar to that of the control. CONCLUSION Our study shows marked difference in miRNA expression in this rare case of DMD with autism and epilepsy. These miRNAs also serve as regulators of several muscle regeneration, apoptosis, and inflammatory pathways. This study shows the significance of studying miRNAs in such rare cases in a larger cohort to progress in several intervention treatments utilizing miRNAs. ©The Author(s) 2025. | Sivakumar, Subhashree; Rajavel, Archana; Viswanathan, Venkataraman; Daniel, Evangeline Ann; Gangadaran, Prakash; Natesan Sella, Raja | Department of Genetic Engineering, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Tamil Nādu, Chennai, 603203, India; Department of Genetic Engineering, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Tamil Nādu, Chennai, 603203, India; Department of Pediatric Neurology, Apollo Children's Hospital, Tamil Nādu, Chennai, 600006, India; Department of HIV/AIDS, National Institute for Research in Tuberculosis, Tamil Nādu, Chennai, 600031, India; BK21 Four KNU Convergence Educational Program of Biomedical Sciences for Creative Future Talents, Department of Biomedical Science, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, 41944, South Korea, Department of Nuclear Medicine, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, 41944, South Korea, Cardiovascular Research Institute, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, 41944, South Korea; Department of Genetic Engineering, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Tamil Nādu, Chennai, 603203, India | 58697416000; 58490285500; 15521533000; 57224919577; 54393130400; 59178943100 | rajan3@srmist.edu.in; | World Journal of Experimental Medicine | 2220-315X | 15 | 2 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 0 | Autism spectrum disorder; Duchenne muscular dystrophy; Dystrophin; Inflammatory response; miRNA; Phosphatase and tensin | English | Final | 2025 | 10.5493/wjem.v15.i2.100548 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 |
