“…Nonsmokers and former smokers were designated to the 'No' smoking category and current smokers were designated to the 'Yes' category. Level of alcohol consumption was calculated following the Korean alcohol guidelines [19]. In terms of physical activity and muscle exercise, the global physical activity questionnaire was used [20].…”

The immune-acquired responses after vaccination vary depending on the type of vaccine and the individual. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the acquisition of immunity and the side effects, health status, and lifestyle after completion of the second dose of AZD1222. Blood samples were collected after a second dose of AZD1222. The Euroimmun Anti-SARS-CoV-2 ELISA (IgG) for anti-S1 antibody, the cPASS SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody detection kit for the surrogate virus neutralization test, and the T-spot Discovery SARS-CoV-2 kit were used to identify cellular immunogenicity. Patient experience of adverse effects was investigated using questionnaires. Information on health status and lifestyle were collected from the most recent health checkup data. Generally, females experience more reactogenicity in both intensity and duration. The rash of the first shot and chills of the second shot were associated with humoral immunity. However, comprehensive adverse effects had no correlation with humoral and cellular immunity. The T-spot-positive group had a higher creatinine level, which reflects muscle mass, than the T-spot-negative group. Males presented a higher level of T-spot assays. Body mass index and age were negatively correlated with the T-spot assay and anti-S1 antibody, respectively. Immune acquisition after the second AZD1222 shot was not associated with reactogenicity. However, individuals’ sex, age, and BMI were found to be associated with immunogenicity after vaccination.

“… 28 Alcohol consumption was divided into two groups of “over-moderate drinking” and “moderate drinking” based on the frequency of alcohol consumption and the amount (servings) of alcohol consumed per sitting. 29 Moderate drinking for Koreans is defined as ≤eight and ≤four servings/week for male aged ≤65 and >65 years, respectively, while that of female is half that of male. One standard serving contains 14 g of alcohol.…”

Effective Timing of Introducing an Inpatient Smoking Cessation Program to Cancer Patients

Purpose We aimed to identify factors influencing smoking cessation success among cancer patients registered in an inpatient smoking cessation program at a single cancer center. Materials and Methods The electronic medical records of enrolled patients with solid cancer were retrospectively reviewed. We evaluated factors associated with 6-month smoking cessation. Results A total of 458 patients with cancer were included in this study. Their mean age was 62.9±10.3 years, and 56.3% of the participants had lung cancer. 193 (42.1%) had not yet begun their main treatment. The mean number of counseling sessions for the participants was 8.4±3.5, and 46 (10.0%) patients were prescribed smoking cessation medications. The 6-month smoking cessation success rate was 48.0%. Multivariate analysis showed that younger age (<65 years), cohabited status, early stage, and the number of counseling sessions were statistically significant factors affecting 6-month smoking cessation success ( p <0.05). Initiation of a cessation program before cancer treatment was significantly associated with cessation success (odds ratio, 1.66; 95% confidence interval, 1.02–2.70; p =0.040). Conclusion Smoking cessation intervention must be considered when establishing a treatment plan immediately after a cancer diagnosis among smokers.

“…The alcohol consumption per week was calculated by considering the amount of alcohol consumed at a time, the alcohol type, and the drinking frequency based on the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) guideline 18 ; subsequently, the drinking status was classified as “non-drinking,” “social drinking,” and “heavy drinking.” Heavy drinking for a male is defined when the amount of alcohol consumed per week exceeds 112 g, while social drinking reflects an alcohol weekly consumption that is lower than 112 g, based on the Korean Alcohol Guidelines for Primary Care Physician. 19 The “non-drinking” classification was assigned to those steelworkers who did not drink alcohol at all. In the multiple linear regression model, drinking was classified into heavy drinking and normal drinking (social drinking or non-drinking).…”

Background This study aimed to investigate the association between lead exposure and serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (γGT) levels as an oxidative stress marker in male steelworkers. Methods Data were collected during the annual health examination of workers in 2020. A total of 1,654 steelworkers were selected, and the variables for adjustment included the workers’ general characteristics, lifestyle, and occupational characteristics. The association between the blood lead level (BLL) and serum γGT level was investigated by multiple linear and logistic regression analyses. The BLL and serum γGT values that were transformed into natural logarithms were used in multiple linear regression analysis, and the tertile of BLL was used in logistic regression analysis. Results The geometric mean of the participants’ BLLs and serum γGT level was 1.36 μg/dL and 27.72 IU/L, respectively. Their BLLs differed depending on age, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, drinking status, shift work, and working period, while their serum γGT levels differed depending on age, BMI, smoking status, drinking status, physical activity, and working period. In multiple linear regression analysis, the difference in models 1, 2, and 3 was significant, obtaining 0.326, 0.176, and 0.172 (all: p < 0.001), respectively. In the multiple linear regression analysis stratified according to drinking status, BMI, and age, BLLs were positively associated with serum γGT levels. Regarding the logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio of the third BLL tertile in models 1, 2, and 3 (for having an elevated serum γGT level within the first tertile reference) was 2.74, 1.83, and 1.81, respectively. Conclusions BLL was positively associated with serum γGT levels in male steelworkers even at low lead concentrations (< 5 μg/dL).
