Primary pulmonary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a very rare neoplasm. It represented most commonly by marginal zone B-cell of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type. Although there have been few reviews this lymphoma, clinical features, diagnostic procedure, optimal management and prognostic factors not well defined.We reviewed the medical records 24 patients who were pathologically clinically diagnosed as primary between September 1995 June 2003.There 13 with MALT two accompanied large...
ADAM33 has been identified as a novel asthma susceptibility gene in genomewide screening and association studies. High-level expression smooth muscles fibroblasts suggests that plays role airway remodeling patients with asthma.The protein was the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids of normal control subjects using Western blotting antibody against catalytic domain. analyzed immunohistochemical staining mucosal biopsy specimens. The levels BAL were measured by dot blotting, correlated FEV1...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Because many physicians seem reluctant to recommend splenectomy for elderly patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), we investigated the safety and efficacy of predictive factors response in these patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> 184 primary ITP were retrospectively analyzed based on age at splenectomy: an group (≥60 years, n = 52) a younger (<60 132). <b><i>Results:</i></b> There was no...
Objective: Currently single-incision laparoscopic appendectomy (SIL-A) has become an option for treating appendicitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility SIL-A compared with conventional (CL-A) on a large experimental cohort. Background: Several studies had reported technical SIL-A, albeit limited number subjects. Methods: A total 2587 patients (1208 1379 CL-A) who underwent from May 2008 April 2013 were studied retrospectively. clinical characteristics...
Purpose:To examine the effect of panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) on retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in patients with diabetic retinopathy.Methods: Subjects included 118 eyes for a treatment group and 164 control group.The peripapillary RNFL was measured before 6 months after PRP group.In group, at baseline later.The relationships between changes number laser burns, duration diabetes, HbA1c level, vision change were analyzed.Results: After months, decreased an average 2.12 µm...
Nongastric marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (NG-MZL) is a relatively uncommon indolent lymphoma. From 1990 to 2005, total of 247 patients with histologically confirmed NG-MZL were analyzed. Ann Arbor stage I/II disease was present in 78% (167 out 215). One hundred eighty-six two eight categorized into the low/low-intermediate risk group (89%) according International Prognostic Index (IPI). Eighty percent (172/215) low Follicular Lymphoma (FLIPI). Complete and partial remissions (CR PR) achieved...
The Korean Multiple Myeloma Working Party performed a nationwide registration of multiple myeloma patients via web-based data bank system.We retrospectively analyzed registered from 3,209 since 1999.The median overall survival (OS) was 50.13 months (95% confidence interval: 46.20-54.06 months). Patients < or =40 years demonstrated longer OS than >65 age (median 71.13 vs. 36.73 months, p 0.001). who received novel agents at any time during their treatments showed did not 42.23 55.50 Response...
Recently, the number of nationwide medical researches on psoriasis using National Health Insurance Service database has been rise. However, identification diagnostic codes alone can lead to misclassification. Accuracy and their concordance with records should be validated first identify patients correctly.To validate (International Classification Diseases, 10th Revision L40) find algorithm for psoriasis.We collected who received during 5 years from five hospitals. Fifteen percent were...
Several previous studies have addressed the association between hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), but there are few on HCV-related diffuse large B-cell (DLBL). We conducted this retrospective study to investigate distinctive clinical characteristics outcome for HCV-positive DLBL. compared outcomes of 32 DLBL cases from nine Korean institutions with those 371 HCV-negative cases. A higher percentage were associated old age (≥60) than at diagnosis (59.4% vs....
We aimed to examine the effect of gum chewing after laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery.We reviewed medical records patients who underwent surgery in Incheon St. Mary's Hospital, The Catholic University Korea School Medicine. divided into 2 groups: group A consisted 67 did not chew gum; B 65 chewed gum. analyzed short-term clinical outcomes between two groups evaluate chewing.The first passage gas was slightly earlier B, but difference significant. However, length hospital stay 6.7 days...
The characteristics of low-frequency (LF) and microwave-powered plasmas were investigated. optical emission these two indicated that more chemicals generated by microwave plasma than LF with the intensities being higher factors about 9, 3, 5, 1.6 for OH (309 nm), O (777 NO (247 Ca 2+ (290 respectively. Application experiments also conducted. A steel plate became hydrophilic after 45 s treatment. This is ten times faster in case treatment, an action related to generation reactive species...
Several previous studies and case reports have reported ethanol-induced symptoms in patients receiving anticancer drugs containing ethanol. Most docetaxel formulations contain ethanol as a solvent. However, there are insufficient data on when docetaxel-containing is administered. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency pattern during after administration. secondary explore risk factors for symptoms.This prospective, multicenter, observational study. participants...
Bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy (BiPN) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients is a common and serious side effect. Currently, it has been reported that subcutaneous (SC) administration of bortezomib decreases the incidence BiPN as compared to standard intravenous (IV) bolus injection without any differences efficacy. However, there are reports severe site reaction following SC bortezomib. The aim this study was evaluate response rate one-hour IV infusion data retrospectively collected...
Abstract Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) exhibits differences between Asians and Caucasians in terms of incidence rate, age at onset, immunophenotype, genetic profile. We performed genome-wide methylation profiling CLL an Asian cohort for the first time. Eight Korean patients without somatic immunoglobulin heavy chain gene hypermutations underwent methyl-CpG-binding domain sequencing (MBD-seq), as did five control subjects. Gene Ontology, pathway analysis, network-based prioritization...
Patients with eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF), a sterile infiltration of hair follicles, often present papulopustules that tend to form annular plaques. Histopathologic examination revealed around the pilosebaceous units and microabscess formation. Although pathogenesis EPF is unknown, T-helper type 2 immune responses were suggested be important based on their stimulating effect sebaceous glands. Here, we report first case associated herpes zoster, indicating zoster are correlated responses.
