Purpose:The prevalence of allergic diseases is known to be associated with both demographic and environmental factors.Herein, we aimed determine significant factors the total immunoglobulin E (tIgE) specific (sIgE) levels in Korea.Methods: We analyzed unweighted data collected by 2010 Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey for 2,342 subjects who underwent serum tests tIgE sIgE Dermatophagoides farinae, dog, Blattella germanica, representing a sample 16,003,645 citizens,...
Mutation with Ser-83-->Leu in gyrA gene was associated the principal mutation for ciprofloxacin resistance clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. Double mutation, and Ser-80-->Leu parC gene, most frequently detected among ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates. A novel Ser-80-->Trp addition to a high-level resistance. These results suggested that presence an additional contributed higher-level than single (geometric mean MICs ciprofloxacin, 44.1 versus 16 microg/ml, P < 0.05).
25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) deficiency and genetic variants at the 17q12-21 locus are independent risk factors for respiratory tract infections (RTIs). We aimed to investigate whether effect of 25(OH)D birth 1 year age polymorphism locus, or interactions between these two factors, increase susceptibility RTIs in first life.We tested cord-blood (CB) genotypes a variant associations with RTIs, particularly lower (LRTIs), determined there exist cohort 473 infants.The levels CB inversely...
Various cytokines have been studied to determine their functions in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases and potential as therapeutic targets, but roles clinical applicability many these still remain unclear.We aimed measure plasma levels eight known be relevant diseases, association with diagnostic characteristics patients.The a panel (IL-5, IL-10, IL12p70, Leptin, CXCL5/ENA-78, CCL2/MCP-1, PDGFBB, VEGF) were measured obtained from 83 patients. We investigated whether cytokine differed...
Rapid development in sequencing technology enabled us study a near complete catalogue of variants human genome. We performed whole-exome to identify functional responsible for severe asthma Korean population. identified 10 6 candidate genes (P <; <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-5</sup> ) comprising GPR88, AGTRAP, GTP2IRD1, KANK1, DNHD1 and DCUN1D2. Our provides possible new therapeutic targets asthma.
