Large population-based studies investigating the risks of overall and specific cancers among patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) are limited.To assess cancer in HS compared without Republic Korea.A nationwide cohort study, using Korean Health Insurance Review Assessment Service database was conducted over a 2-year period from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2008. Individuals control group who were never diagnosed or during washout randomly extracted matched by age, sex, index year,...
Objectives: The ideal diagnostic criteria of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) are still challenging. Therefore, we investigated the clinical features AIP in Korea and assessed use new Korean criteria. Methods: We reviewed 67 patients with enrolled 16 hospitals via a multicenter study. diagnosis was confirmed according to that included pancreatic imaging, laboratory findings, histopathology, response steroid. Results: Mean age 56 years, 73% were men. Obstructive jaundice (52%) most common...
Striae distensae are dermal scars characterized by flattening and atrophy of the epidermis. Although many treatment modalities have been tried with variable results, most disappointing.To determine whether striae might respond to fractional photothermolysis.Twenty-two women were treated two sessions each photothermolysis at a pulse energy 30 mJ, density level 6, eight passes intervals 4 weeks. Response was assessed comparing pre- post-treatment clinical photography skin biopsy samples.Six 22...
Abstract V-domain Ig suppressor of T-cell activation (VISTA), which mediates immune evasion in cancer, is mainly expressed on hematopoietic cells and myeloid the tumor. We evaluated correlations among expression VISTA, myeloid-derived cell marker CD33, programmed death-1 (PD-1), determined their relationships with clinicopathological characteristics disease outcomes melanoma. Diagnostic tissue from 136 cases melanoma was by immunohistochemistry for PD-1 expression. Dual immunofluorescence...
There is limited data on the risk of second primary malignancies (SPMs) in Asian melanoma survivors. This study aimed to identify SPMs Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated for overall and specific SPMs. The factor SPM development was analyzed using a multivariable Cox regression model. A total 10,070 patients with included study. Melanoma survivors exhibited an increased (SIR, 1.51; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.34–1.70). Additionally, more common among survivors, including...
OBJECTIVES Systemic chemotherapy may lead to immune suppression and possible reactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV), suggesting prophylactic antiviral therapy in cancer patients with HBV. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not a systemic chemotherapy, but has been partially associated HBV reactivation. The aim this study was evaluate whether TACE aggravates HBV-related HCC. METHODS Eighty-nine HCC were studied prospectively. Patients...
Background: Filler injection has become an extremely popular method for facial skin rejuvenation, including the periorbital area. In recent years, new polynucleotide (PN)-containing filler products have been used esthetic purposes.Aim: We aimed to investigate efficacy and safety of PN in area.Patients/methods: A total 27 subjects were enrolled this randomized, pair-matched, active-controlled study. Each subject received injections thrice with two-week intervals, a on one side non-crosslinked...
The association between tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and the expression of immune checkpoint molecules has not been well described in cutaneous melanoma. We evaluated correlations markers TAMs, cluster differentiation 163 (CD163), molecules, programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1), lymphocyte activating gene-3 (LAG-3). also determined their relationships with clinicopathological features disease outcomes Diagnostic tissues collected from melanoma patients were using...
Patient-derived tumor cells can be a powerful resource for studying pathophysiological mechanisms and developing robust strategies precision medicine. However, establishing organoids from patient-derived is challenging because of limited access to tissue specimens. Therefore, we aimed establish malignant ascites pleural effusions.Ascitic or fluid pancreatic, gastric, breast cancer patients was collected concentrated culture ex vivo. Organoids were considered successfully cultured when...
Abstract Background Prurigo nodularis (PN) is an intensively pruritic skin disease that negatively influences quality of life. Cryosim‐1 (Intrinsic IB Spot) a synthetic, selective transient receptor potential melastatin 8 agonist. Aims To investigate the efficacy and safety cryosim‐1 in PN patients. Patients/Methods A randomized, double‐blinded, placebo‐controlled clinical trial including 30 patients was conducted. The numerical rating scale (NRS) pruritus evaluated before 2 h after...
Abstract The morphology of facial scars shows a wide variation in terms texture and colour. To date, there are no reliable predictors aberrant scarring. We conducted retrospective analysis to identify factors associated with specific scar features types. Photographs medical records 428 patients were retrospectively reviewed. Patients keloids excluded. mean age the was 45.43 ± 23.13 years male‐to‐female ratio 1:1.36. Atrophic most common (42.8%), followed by flat (38.7%) hypertrophic (18.5%)....
