Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is typically triggered by hypoxia under high altitude conditions. Currently, rule of time among AMS inpatients was not clear. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the distribution in past ten years and construct a prediction model hospitalized cases.We retrospectively collected medical records admitted military hospitals from January 2009 December 2018 analyzed series characteristics. Seasonal Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) established through...
To prevent the occurrence of CV events such as MI and stroke among professional drivers in Korea, bus were compared to other occupations through Framingham risk scoring system (FRS) or metabolic syndrome (MS) cardiovascular disease (CVD) assessment methods.In October 2012, a health examination survey was conducted for 443 male big city. Their CVD factors those 'total employed' (A group) 'crafts machine operators' (B extracted from Fifth Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey...
Abstract Aging of sensory organs is associated with a decline in mitochondrial function and the accumulation dysfunctional mitochondria. Impaired mitophagy blocks turnover mitochondria leads to their accumulation. Urolithin A (UA) induces various mammalian cells. This study was aimed at investigating effect activator, UA, on premature senescent auditory The levels cellular senescence-associated p53 p21 significantly increased H 2 O -induced House Ear Institute‐Organ Corti 1 (HEI-OC1) cells...
The current 52-hour workweek in South Korea consists of 40 hours regular work and 12 overtime. Although the average working is declining, it still 199 longer than Organisation for Economic Co-operation Development 1,716 per year. In view to this, Korean government has now proposed reform workweek, mainly intending increase 69 when workload heavy. This reform, by increasing labor intensity due long hours, goes against global trend reducing a safe healthy environment. Long can lead increased...
The Transmissible Gastroenteritis Virus (TGEV) causes severe diarrhea and other symptoms which end up in death young piglets. We have studied the protective effects of probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum strain N4(Lp) metabolic products were added to swine testis (ST) cells with three different orders using MTT cell proliferation assay CPE analysis. Metabolic led dose-dependent rescue viability infected a certain order: pre-treatment, post-infection, co-incubation. Pre-treatment reduced viral...
Lead (Pb) has long been recognized as a neurodevelopmental toxin. Developing blood-brain barrier (BBB) is known to be target of Pb neurotoxicity; however, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Recent evidence suggests that intracellular nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinase Src regulates tight junctional proteins (TJPs). This study was designed investigate whether acted on Src-mediated cascade event leading an altered TJP expression at BBB. Rats aged 20–22 days were exposed in drinking...
Objectives The job of firefighting can cause lumbar burden and low back pain. This study aimed to identify the association between age intervertebral disc degeneration whether differs field administrative (non-field) firefighters. Methods Subjects were selected using a stratified random sampling method. Firefighters by geographic area, gender, type job. First, 25 fire stations randomly sampled considering regional distribution. Then firefighters their among strata. A questionnaire survey MRI...
To identify adverse health effects due to air pollution derived from a cement plant in Korea. The ventilation impairment residents around was compared another group through pulmonary function test (PFT).From June August of 2013, both pre and post-bronchodilator PFT conducted on "more exposed (MEG)" which consisted 318 people who lived within 1 km radius "less (LEG)" 129 more than 5 away the same plant. largest forced expiratory volume one second (FEV1) reading functional residual capacity...
In 2015, workers dismantling a fluorescent lamp factory in Korea were affected by mercury poisoning from exposure to vapor.Eighteen out of the 21 who participated demolition project presented with symptoms and, these, 10 had persistent even at 18 months after initial vapor. Early included general skin rash, pruritus, myalgia, sleep disturbance, and cough sputum production. Following alleviation these symptoms, late such as easy fatigue, insomnia, bad dreams, anxiety disorder, began manifest...
Cisplatin is an efficacious anticancer agent, but its use limited by ototoxicity and resultant irreversible sensorineural hearing loss. associated with cochlear cell oxidative stress mitochondrial damage. However, mitophagy vital for maintaining quality cellular metabolism. Accordingly, we investigated the role of in regulating cisplatin-induced using auditory line HEI-OC1. In this study, HEI-OC1 cells were treated either cisplatin alone (10 μM, 0, 8, 16, 24 h); h) post transfection...
The brain barrier is an important structure for metal ion homeostasis. According to studies, lead (Pb) exposure disrupts the transportation of copper (Cu) through barrier, which may cause impairment nervous system; however, specific mechanism unknown. previous studies suggested X-linked inhibitor apoptosis (XIAP) a sensor cellular Cu level mediate degradation MURR1 domain-containing 1 (COMMD1) protein. XIAP/COMMD1 axis was thought be regulator in metabolism maintenance. In this study, role...
To identify adverse pulmonary health effects due to air pollution derived from a cement plant in Korea. The emphysema prevalence residents around was compared that the group who live far away by chest films (PA and lateral view) high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) lung images.From June August 2013 November 2014, HRCT scan were conducted on over age of 40 lived plant. divided into two groups; "more exposed (MEG)" which consisted 1,046 people within 1 km radius "less (LEG)" 317 more...
Abstract Background Environmental lead (Pb) exposure have been suggested as a causative factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, the role of Pb content human body in ALS outcomes has not quantified clearly. The purpose this study was to apply Bayesian networks forecast risk on disease occurrence. Methods We retrospectively collected medical records inpatients who underwent blood testing, while matched controlled age, gender, hospital ward and admission time according radio...
Occupational neck disability is a prevalent issue, especially among line workers, who are often exposed to elevated levels of cervical ergonomic stress. The aim this study was investigate the impact posture and insulating stick use on in specific occupational group Korea.
Meniscal tears are among the major risk factors for knee osteoarthritis progression. This study aimed to investigate relationship between meniscal and work-related in farming occupation. The participants included 486 farmers (238 men 248 women), aged 40-69 years, who were 550 registered Korea Farmer's Knee Cohort (KFKC). Data such as those on gender, age, body mass index (BMI), mechanical axis, cumulative heavy-lifting working time (CLWT), squatting (CSWT), previous injury history collected...
