We intended to identify proteins that are differentially expressed in human atherosclerotic plaques.Comparative 2-dimensional electrophoretic analysis on carotid endarterectomy specimens (n = 10) revealed heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) expression was significantly increased the nearby normal-appearing area compared with plaque core from same vessel specimen, which further confirmed by Western blot analysis. The Hsp27 adjacent areas much higher than nonatherosclerotic reference arteries....
Objective: To assess retrospectively the treatment results of ethanol embolization peripheral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) with a dominant outflow vein (DOV). Materials and Methods:Nineteen patients who had AVMs DOV were enrolled in this study (mean age, 29.7 years; range, 15 42 years).Fifty-one embolizations (mean, 2.7; 1 8) performed by direct puncture (n = 29), transarterial approach 13), transvenous 5), or combination methods 4) under general anesthesia.Coil and/or core-removed...
Objective:We wanted to evaluate the safety and feasibility of ethanol sclerotherapy for treating craniofacial venous malformations (CVMs). Materials Methods:From May 1998 April 2007, 87 patients (40 men 47 women; age range, 2-68 years) with CVMs underwent staged (range, 1-21 sessions; median number sessions, 2) by direct puncture technique.Clinical follow up 0-120 months; mean up, 35 28 months) was performed all patients.Therapeutic outcomes were established evaluating clinical outcome signs...
Purpose: Infrainguinalfemoropopliteal bypass (IFPB) is recommended to peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with a long occlusion of the superficial femoral artery (SFA).The aims our study were determine patency graft materials, and identify risk factors failure.Methods: From January 1995 April 2011, we had performed 380 IFPBs in 351 patients, including 302 femoro-above knee (AK) bypasses 78 femoro-below (BK) bypasses.We compare age, sex, severity ischemia between polytetra-uoroethylene (PTFE)...
We wanted to retrospectively evaluate the long-term therapeutic results of iliac arterial stent placement that was done in a single institution for 10 years.From May 1994 April 2004, 206 patients who underwent (mean age; 64+/-8.8) were followed up evaluating long term patency. Combined or subsequent bypass surgery performed 72 patients. The follow period ranged from one month 120 months (mean; 31+/-25.2 months). factors analyzed their effect on patency stents age, type and diameter, lesion...
Objective We retrospectively assessed the results of performing ethanol embolization for pelvis arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Materials and methods During past 10 years, eight patients (8 females, age range: 27-52 years) with AVMs in pelvic wall (n = 3) uterus 5) underwent staged embolizations (range: 1-5, mean: 2.5) under general anesthesia. Ethanol was performed by use transcatheter and/or direct puncture techniques. Clinical follow-up all patients, imaging available seven patients....
The pyramidal lobe is an accessory of the thyroid gland. prevalence in glands and its features have been studied autopsy series but there little information regarding parameters patients or normal subjects. purpose current study was to assess frequency, location, size using computed tomography (CT) neck.From January December 2010, 327 who underwent neck CT for trauma, cancer, pharyngolaryngeal malignancy, a palpable mass, cervical lymphadenopathy, vocal cord paralysis were enrolled study....
We investigated the prognostic value of qualitative lymphoscintigraphy in gynecological cancer-related lymphedema, which is a common complication after treatment.All 152 patients underwent (99m) Tc tin-colloid before complex decongestive therapy (CDT). analyzed uptake patterns inguinal lymph nodes, main lymphatic vessel and collateral vessels, as well dermal back flow. compared these lymphoscintigraphic findings other clinical variables between good poor therapeutic responders using...
1) To evaluate the mid-term efficacy and safety of a permanent nitinol inferior vena cava (IVC) filter; 2) to filter effectiveness, stability caval occlusion.A prospective evaluation TrapEase IVC was performed on 42 patients (eight men, 34 women) ranging in age from 22 78 years (mean 66 years). All were ill with high risk pulmonary embolism (PE). Indications for placement were: deep vein thrombosis recurrent thromboembolism; and/or free-floating thrombus contraindication anticoagulation; 3)...
Purpose: The relationship between vitamin D status and pulmonary function has been investigated in several studies. But previous study results are controversial. We want to know the Korean adults small regional area. Methods: medical records of 3,253 subjects were reviewed retrospectively, those visited for routine health examination Samsung Changwon Hospital January December 2013. All them workers one company lived island (‘Geojedo’). Results: Vitamin deficiency group (serum...
Early gastric cancer (EGC) with ulcerations can be treated via endoscopic resection (ER) when it is differentiated pathologically, limited to the mucosa, and <3 cm in diameter. The presence of ulceration a key factor deciding treatment strategies usually diagnosed during examination. aim this study was evaluate whether EGC clearly defined among endoscopists which factors are related differences. A survey questionnaire, composed demographic features images seven patients EGC, presented...
The objective of this study was to compare the degree hepatic enhancement and image quality using contrast media different iodine concentrations with same dose.From July 2011 June 2013, 50 patients chronic liver disease who underwent baseline follow-up 128-slice multidetector computed tomography(MDCT) 350 mg I/mL (group A) 400 B) were included in prospective study. randomly allocated one two protocols: initially then I/mL; I/mL. bolus tracking technique used initiate arterial phase scan....
Pasteurella multocida is a zoonotic pathogen found in the oral cavities of both domestic and wild animals. Although P. has been involved wide range human diseases, only limited number studies on peritonitis patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) had carried out. We herein present case patient continuous ambulatory PD, which believed to have resulted from contact with cats. suggest that PD having animals at home should be educated about possible transmission infection animals; addition,...
We aimed to assess the adequacy and efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided fine-needle aspiration (US-FNA) for small solid thyroid nodules (SSTNs) with largest diameter <5 mm compared these according nodule size.Among 656 SSTNs in 569 patients, each SSTN was classified into 1 4 groups diameter: ≤ group A < 2 mm; B 3 C mm, D 5 mm. US-FNA between using histopathologic results as a reference standard.571 (87.0%) were adequately sampled by 200 histopathologically confirmed. The varied smaller...
Background and Objectives:The goals of this study were to investigate the prevalence risk factors carotid atherosclerotic stenosis also predictors for progression atheroslcerotic in Korean adults. Subjects Methods:Carotid ultrasonography was performed 22,782 adults who volunteered a routine health check-up. Carotid defined as finding at least one lesion an intima-media thickness greater than 1.2 mm with plaque. Among people, 4,077 persons underwent follow-up average interval 27.6 months. The...
