This study aims to provide updated prevalence estimates of myopia and high among late adolescent men in Seoul, South Korea, predict future trends up 2050.

Background/Aim: The aim of this study was to reveal the novel roles calmodulin 2 (CALM2) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. Materials and Methods: effects knockdown CALM2 expression by siRNA were investigated using various experimental approaches both cellular molecular levels. Results: Silencing inhibited HCC cell proliferation colony formation through induction apoptosis. At level, CALM2-specific led common dysregulation 154 genes cells. Notably, E2F transcription factor 5...

Abstract Introduction Data regarding the association between depression and dietary factors in Korean adults are limited. We hypothesized that men women with would have poorer nutritional intakes different habits than those without depression. Methods This study was based on data from Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey conducted during 2012 to 2014. Overall, 10 591 subjects (4308 men, 6529 women) aged 19 64 years were selected categorized according current status. Food...

Abstract Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most lethal cancer worldwide which remains a major challenge due to poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Cell division cycle associated 8 (CDCA8) known as component of chromosomal passenger complex required for stability bipolar mitotic spindle it commonly overexpressed in human HCC. However, functional role CDCA8 HCC progression be clarified. In this study, we hypothesized if targeting with small interfering (si) RNA...

This study aims to examine the association between alcohol consumption and risk of pre- or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by alcohol-induced flushing response in Korean male adults, particularly based on their body mass index (BMI).This selected 1,030 (158 non-drinkers, 364 flushers, 508 non-flushers) adults who had medical checkups. A logistic regression analysis was used compare T2DM.In both normal-weight group (BMI <23 kg/m2) overweight ≥23 kg/m2 <25 kg/ m2), flushers a higher T2DM (odds...

Background This study aimed to examine the relationship between alcohol consumption and intraocular pressure (IOP) according facial flushing in Korean men with obesity. Methods The included 479 a body mass index of ≥25 kg/m2 (75 non-drinkers, 174 drinking-related flushing, 230 without flushing) who underwent health check-ups October 1, 2016 March 31, 2017. Multivariate logistic regression was used assess high IOP (≥21 mm Hg). Results Flushers consuming ≤16 drinks per week had significantly...

Maitake ( Grifola frondosa ) mushroom has received an enormous amount of attention as a dietary supplement due to its high nutritional values. The particle sizes G. mushrooms were monitored by classifying mill. β -Glucans are the bioactive component mushroom, and it was revealed through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), proton carbon nuclear magnetic resonance 1 H 13 C-NMR), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization, time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) spectrometry. biocompatibility...

Purpose To report the use of neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser internal limiting membranotomy to successfully treat first reported case subinternal membrane (sub-ILM) hemorrhage that developed after coil embolization a cerebral aneurysm. Case Report A 59-year-old Korean woman visited our clinic complaining central scotoma in her left eye, which shortly stent-assisted an unruptured carotid artery Fundus examination revealed sub-ILM and 2 days, Nd:YAG was performed with single...

Objective: The purpose of this clinical case was to evaluate the efficacy treatment with Korean medicine after excision cyst canal Nuck.Methods: patient treated medicine, such as acupuncture and moxibustion, reduce pain around surgical region improve gastrointestinal function. Pain assessed using numerical rating scale (NRS). Quality life EuroQol 5 dimensions levels (EQoL-5D-5L) version World Health Organization quality assessment (WHOQOL-BREF). function checked by inquiring about symptoms...

Mxene-based materials have attracted an attention in the application of next generation lithium ion battries (LIBs) because their large surface area, excellent conductivity, and well dispertion into water. Our pervious studies on water-dispersible Mxene-containing binder has achieved to improvement electrochemical performance high-capacity Si anode. In this study, we present a more efficient MXene-containing binder, acrylic acid-based core-shell structure (MX-ACS) synthesized by in-situ...

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the essential power sources of portable energy devices, electric vehicles, e-mobilities, and large-scale storage systems. However, commercial LIBs consist highly flammable liquid electrolyte that possesses risk thermal runaway fire hazards when battery’s malfunction or any abuse event. Advancement is urgently needed, aiming to attain battery safety without losing density performance. Herein, we report design application a new class nonflammable electrolyte,...

Introduction: Main causes of hazardous complications in the skull base surgery would be injury perforating arteries around brainstem and venous system. We were able to avoid veins by revealing structures clearly with fusion images 3D-CT angiography (3D-CTA) MRI. Material Methods: Since 2006, we experienced 213 surgical cases tumors, 101 meningiomas. In all cases, 3D-CTA MRI was performed pre- postoperation. When sphenoparietal sinus main circulation route from superficial middle cerebral...
