BACKGROUND The microsatellite instability(MSI)test and immunohistochemistry(IHC)are widely used to screen DNA mismatch repair(MMR)deficiency in sporadic colorectal cancer(CRC).For IHC,a two-antibody panel of MLH1 and MSH2 or four-antibody panel of MLH1,MSH2,PMS2,and MSH6 are *** general,MSI is known as a more accurate screening test than *** To compare two-and four-antibody panels of IHC in terms of accuracy and cost benefit on the basis of MSI testing for detecting MMR *** We retrospectively analyzed patients with CRC who underwent curative surgery between 2015 and 2017 at a tertiary referral *** IHC with four antibodies and MSI tests were routinely *** sensitivity and specificity of a fourand two types of two-antibody panels(PMS2/MSH6 and MLH1/MSH2)were compared on the basis of MSI testing for detecting MMR *** High-frequency MSI was found in 5.5%(n=193)of the patients(n=3486).The sensitivities of the four-and two types of two-antibody panels were 97.4%,92.2%,and 87.6%,*** specificities of the three types of panels did not differ significantly(99.6%for the four-antibody and PMS2/MSH6 panels,99.7%for the MLH1/MSH2 panel).Based on Cohen's kappa statistic(κ),four-and twoantibody panels were in almost perfect agreement with the MSI test(κ>0.9).The costs of the MSI test and the four-and two-antibody panels of IHC were approximately$200,$160,and$80,*** Considering the cost of the four-antibody panel IHC compared to that of the twoantibody panel IHC,a two-antibody panel of PMS2/MSH6 might be the best choice in terms of balancing cost-effectiveness and accuracy.

Litterfall, which is influenced by physical and biological factors, is a major pathway for carbon and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. The purpose of this study was to investigate monthly litterfall production in three forests in Jeju Island differentiated by forest composition and precipitation: Cheongsu(Quercus glauca as the dominant species;low precipitation), seonheulb(Q. glauca as the dominant species;high precipitation), and seonheulm(Q. glauca and Pinus thunbergii as the dominant species;high precipitation). Litterfall was collected monthly from April to December 2015 and divided into leaf litter, twig, bark, seeds, and unidentified *** patterns of litterfall production varied across stands according to their species composition. However,the amount of leaf litterfall and total litterfall were comparable among stands, ranging from 362 to 375 g m-2 for leaf litter and 524 g m-2 to 580 g m-2 for total *** leaf litter in May was the highest in all stands, while needle litter was the highest in December in *** twig litterfall in July may be attributable to high rainfall with strong winds and storms during the rainy season. Although forest type and climate factor had no influence on litterfall amounts in this study, the pattern of litterfall production was species dependent, suggesting diverse effects on carbon and nutrient cycling in these forests.

AIM: Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC), natural polyphenolic compounds found in plants, are known to have antioxidant and anti-cancer effects. We investigated whether the anti-cancer effects of the OPC are induced by apoptosis on human colorectal cancer cell line, ***: Colorectal cancer cell line, SNU-C4 was cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. The cytotoxic effect of OPC was assessed by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenylt-etrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. To find out the apoptotic cell death, 4, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining,terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay, reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and caspase-3 enzyme assay were ***: In this study, cytotoxic effect of OPC on SNUC4 cells appeared in a dose-dependent manner. OPC treatment (100 μg/mL) revealed typical morphological apoptotic features. Additionally OPC treatment (100 μg/mL)increased level of BAX and CASPASE-3, and decreased level of BCL-2 mRNA expression. Caspase-3 enzyme activity was also significantly increased by treatment of OPC (100 μg/mL) compared with ***: These data indicate that OPC caused cell death by apoptosis through caspase pathways on human colorectal cancer cell line, SNU-C4.
