For measurement of MBG and endogenous ouabain, samples of plasma and urine were extracted on SepPak C-18 cartridges (Waters, Milford, Massachusetts, USA) as described previously in detail [11 (link)]. The MBG DELFIA fluoroimmunoassays based on anti-MBG 3E9 and 4G4 mAbs were performed as previously described for rabbit anti-MBG polyclonal antibodies [11 (link)]. The assay is based on competition between immobilized antigen (MBG-glycoside-thyroglobulin) and MBG, other cross-reactants, or endogenous CTS within the sample for a limited number of binding sites on an anti-MBG mAbs. Secondary (goat antimouse) antibody labeled with non-radioactive europium was obtained from Perkin-Elmer (Waltham, Massachusetts, USA).
The endogenous ouabain assay was based on a similar principle utilizing an ouabain–ovalbumin conjugate and ouabain antiserum (anti-OU-M-2005; 1 : 20 000) obtained from rabbits immunized with a ouabain-BSA conjugate [20 (link)]. The cross-reactivity of this ouabain antibody is (%) ouabain, 100; ouabagenin, 52, digoxin, 1.8; digitoxin, 0.47; progesterone, 0.002; prednisone, 0.001; proscillaridin, 0.03; bufalin, 0.10; aldosterone, 0.04; telocinobufagin, 0.02; resibufagin, 0.15; marinobufotoxin, 0.06; cinobufagin, 0.02; and MBG, 0.036.

During 1997–1998, 630 women who completed an oral glucose tolerance test at 30 ± 2 weeks' gestation delivered live, normal babies at the Holdsworth Memorial Hospital, Mysore, India (7 (link)); 41 women had GDM (Carpenter-Coustan criteria) (8 (link)).
At age 5 and 9.5 years, weight (Salter, Kent, U.K.), height (Microtoise; CMS Instruments, Cambridge, U.K.), mid–upper-arm circumference, and triceps and subscapular skinfolds (Harpenden calipers; CMS Instruments) were measured in 514 children available for follow-up (35 ODMs). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured in the left arm (Dinamap; Criticon). Blood samples were collected fasting and 30 and 120 min after a 1.75 g/kg body wt glucose load, after an overnight fast.
Plasma glucose, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol concentrations were measured by standard enzymatic methods (Alcyon 3000 autoanalyzer; Abbott Laboratories). Insulin was measured using a time-resolved, fluoroimmunoassay (DELFIA) method (PerkinElmer Life 186 and Analytical Sciences, Wallac Qy, Turku, Finland). Interassay coefficients of variations were 12.5% at <45 pmol/l and <10% at ≥45 pmol/l.
Paternal diabetes status was assessed using fasting glucose at the 5-year follow-up. Offspring of non-GDM mothers and diabetic fathers were designated ODFs (n = 39). Offspring of nondiabetic parents were designated control subjects (n = 381). During 6–10 years of age, physical activity was measured in 408 children using Actigraph accelerometers (AM7164/GT1M; MTI) that measure movement in the vertical plane as counts. Detailed methodology is described elsewhere (9 ). Pubertal growth was assessed at age 9.5 years, using breast development in girls and testicular volume in boys (10 ). The hospital ethical committee approved the study; the parents and children gave informed consent/assent.

The DCCT enrolled 1,441 people with T1D from 1983–1989 to determine the effects of INT on the long-term complications of diabetes (7 (link),9 ). The trial included two cohorts. The primary prevention cohort was characterized by diabetes duration 1–5 years, AER <40 mg/24 h, and no retinopathy by fundus photography. The secondary intervention cohort was characterized by diabetes duration 1–15 years, AER ≤200 mg/24 h, and at least one microaneurysm in either eye (but no more than moderate nonproliferative retinopathy). For both cohorts, serum creatinine <1.2 mg/dL or creatinine clearance >100 mL/min/1.73 m2 was required for eligibility. Hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg, or treatment with antihypertensive medications, was an exclusion criterion.
Participants were randomly assigned to receive INT or CON, as described in detail elsewhere (7 (link),9 ). The DCCT ended in 1993 after a mean duration of 6.5 years. Subsequently, all surviving participants were invited to join the observational EDIC, which continues today. During EDIC, mean HbA1c levels, which were separated by ∼2% during DCCT, became similar for the two original DCCT treatment groups (8 (link)).
AER was measured yearly during DCCT and every other year during EDIC using supervised 4-h urine collections (10 ,11 (link)). Water intake was encouraged to maintain urine output throughout the collection period. Urine albumin was measured at the DCCT/EDIC Central Biochemistry Laboratory (CBL) at the University of Minnesota using a fluoroimmunoassay (interassay coefficient of variation 8.4%).
Serum creatinine was measured annually throughout DCCT/EDIC at the CBL (interassay coefficient of variation <3%). All results were calibrated to National Institute of Standards and Technology isotope dilution mass spectrometry assigned values (12 (link)). The Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation was used to estimate GFR from calibrated serum creatinine, age, sex, and race (13 (link)).
Blood pressure was measured every 3 months during DCCT and yearly during EDIC. Hypertension was defined as two consecutive study visits with systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg, or the use of antihypertensive medications (14 (link)).
The effects of DCCT INT on AER, estimated GFR, and hypertension were tested according to intention to treat. Hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated using Cox proportional hazards models, which incorporated death as a competing risk when evaluating impaired GFR as the outcome (12 (link)). Risk reduction associated with INT was calculated as (1 − HR of INT vs. CON) × 100%. Proportion of effect explained by DCCT HbA1c was the proportion of INT effect explained by statistical adjustment for the treatment group difference in DCCT mean HbA1c. Cumulative incidence of microalbuminuria or macroalbuminuria by diabetes duration was quantified using a nonparametric estimator that allows for interval-censored observations (15 (link),16 (link)).

The animal protocol was approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of the Intramural Research Program, National Institute on Aging. Five-week-old male Dahl-S (SS/JrHsd) rats (n=20) were obtained from Harlan Sprague–Dawley Inc (Indianapolis, Indiana, USA). After adaptation for a week on a low-salt diet (0.2% NaCl; ICN Biochemicals, Irvine, California, USA), rats were placed on an 8% NaCl diet (ICN Biochemicals) and water ad libitum for 4 weeks. During this period, water consumption and urine output were measured weekly. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was recorded by tail-cuff plethysmography. The effect of anti-MBG antibodies on SBP was studied in Dahl-S rats following 4 weeks of 8% NaCl intake. Anti-MBG 3E9 mAb (n=10) was administered intraperitoneally at a concentration that in vitro reverses the IC75 of MBG-induced inhibition of rat kidney NKA, as described recently in detail (50 μg/kg) [11 (link),12 (link),19 (link)]. Mouse isotype IgG1 control (50 μg/kg; clone 11711, R&D Systems, Inc, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA) was used as a vehicle (n=10). Following antibody administration, SBP was measured hourly for 3 h. Thereafter, animals were anesthetized with ketamine (100 mg/kg) and sacrificed by exsanguination. Blood samples were collected for measurements of MBG and endogenous ouabain. The serum titers of anti-MBG antibody were determined via solid-phase fluoroimmunoassay as reported previously [20 (link)]. Thoracic aortae were excised for measurements of sodium pump activity (below).

On admission or during hospital stay, a nasal swab was taken for viral studies each time the child had an axillary temperature of ≥38.0°C. The nasal swab sample was obtained through a nostril by inserting a sterile cotton swab to a depth of 2–3 cm and retracting it with rotating movements. The swab was then inserted into a vial containing viral transport medium (5% tryptose phosphate broth, 0.5% bovine serum albumin and antibiotics in phosphate-buffered saline) [9 (link)]. One aliquot of the sample was restored at −70°C. Virus culture was done by using the Ohio strain of HeLa cells and human foreskin fibroblasts according to routine procedure. Viral antigens for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus, parainfluenza virus types 1, 2 and 3, and influenza A and B viruses were detected using a time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay with monoclonal antibodies [1 (link)]. The details of the PCR assays used for rhinovirus, enteroviruses, human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6), coronavirus types OC43 and 229E 52 and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) have been reported earlier [1 (link), 11 (link)]. The observations concerning these respiratory viruses will be reported separately.

Patients newly diagnosed with SLE between January 2009 and December 2019 at a tertiary referral hospital in Seoul, South Korea, were retrospectively included in the study. All patients fulfilled the 2012 Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) classification criteria for SLE20 (link). Patients who were followed up for less than a year were excluded. The retrospective observation period was from the date of SLE diagnosis to the last follow-up date, up to December 2021 or the date of first flare, whichever came first. The following data at the time of diagnosis of SLE were reviewed: age, sex, clinical manifestations of SLE, positivity of anti-dsDNA Ab, anti-Sm Ab, anti-U1RNP Ab, anti-Ro Ab, and anti-La Ab, levels of C3 and C4, and the SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2 K)21 (link). All patients who had symptoms or signs compatible to SLE and were positive for ANA were uniformly tested for anti-dsDNA, anti-Sm, anti-U1RNP, anti-Ro, and anti-La Abs. Therefore, there were no missing data on the positivity for each autoantibody. The positivity of anti-dsDNA Ab and anti-ENA Abs was tested using an automated fluoroimmunoassay analyzer (EliA; Phadia, Uppsala, Sweden). The use of the following medications during the observation period was reviewed: hydroxychloroquine, glucocorticoid, cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, methotrexate, cyclosporin, and tacrolimus.
This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Gangnam Severance Hospital (No. 3–2020-0114). The requirement for informed consent was waived by the Institutional Review Board of Gangnam Severance Hospital due to the retrospective nature of this study. This study conformed the ethical guidelines laid out by the 1964 Helsinki declaration.

One week prior to surgery, the participants were invited to a separate clinical visit for detailed metabolic phenotyping. After an overnight fast, body weight, height, and circumferences of the waist and hip were measured as described (16 (link)). Blood samples were withdrawn from an antecubital vein for measurement of circulating blood count, glucose, insulin, hemoglobin A1C, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglyceride, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), and albumin concentrations and for genotyping as described (17 (link)). Plasma glucose concentrations were measured using the hexokinase method, plasma total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were assessed using enzymatic kits and activities of plasma ALT, AST, and GGT were determined using photometric International Federation of Clinical Chemistry methods on an autoanalyzer (Roche Diagnostics Hitachi 917, Hitachi). Serum insulin concentrations were measured by time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay using an Insulin Kit (AUTOdelfia, Wallac). Hepatic insulin resistance was assessed by using the HOMA-IR, calculated using the following formula: serum insulin (mU/L) × plasma glucose (mmol/L)/22.5 (18 (link)). Hemoglobin A1C was determined using an immunoturbidometric method (Abbott Laboratories). Blood counts and platelets were measured using impedance, flow cytometric and photometric assays (XN10, Sysmex). Plasma alb min concentrations were determined by using a photometric method on an autoanalyzer (Modular Analytics EVO, Hitachi). The genotyping of HSD17B13 rs72613567, PNPLA3 rs738409, TM6SF2 rs58542926, MBOAT7 rs641738, and MARC1 rs2642438 was performed using the TacMan polymerase chain reaction method (Applied Biosystems) (17 (link)).
