A staphylococcal enterotoxin which elicited an emetic response in monkeys but did not share antigenic determinants with any of the identified enterotoxins was and purified from Staphylococcus aureus FRI-569. The activity this new neutralized only by antibodies specific to it A, B, C, D, E or toxic shock syndrome toxin 1. Immunodiffusion assays detect cross-reactivity between all other enterotoxins. purification procedure involved removal culture supernatant fluids batch adsorption CG-50...
Identification of patients at risk death from cancer surgery should aid in preoperative preparation. The purpose this study is to assess and adjust the age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) identify with increased perioperative mortality.We identified 156,151 undergoing for one ten common cancers between 2007 2011 Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Half were randomly selected, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was used develop an adjusted-ACCI score...
vertigo is a common presenting symptom in ambulatory care settings, and stroke its leading most challenging concern. This study aimed to determine the risk of patients 4-year follow-up after hospitalization for acute isolated vertigo.the cohorts consisted all hospitalized with principal diagnosis (n=3021), whereas an appendectomy 2004 (n=3021) comprised control group surrogate general population. Cox proportional hazard model was performed as means comparing stroke-free survival rate between...
This population-based study investigated the relationship between individual and neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) mortality rates for major cancers in Taiwan.A follow-up was conducted with 20,488 cancer patients diagnosed 2002. Each patient traced to death or 5 years. The income-related insurance payment amount used as a proxy measure of SES patients. Neighborhood defined by income, neighborhoods were grouped living advantaged disadvantaged areas. Cox proportional hazards model...

Background: Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α is a critical regulatory protein of cellular response to hypoxia and closely related angiogenic process. Aims: To explore the potential role prognostic value HIF-1α in urothelial carcinoma (UC). Methods: Clinicopathological follow-up data on 99 UC cases were reviewed immunostained for HIF-1α, CD68, vascular endothelial growth (VEGF) CD34 antigen. Tumour-associated macrophage (TAM) counts expression compared with clinicopathologic characteristics,...
This study investigated temperature effects on depuration for reducing Vibrio parahaemolyticus and vulnificus in American oyster (Crassostrea virginica). Raw oysters were inoculated with 5-strain cocktail of V. or to levels 10(4) 10(5) MPN (most probable number)/g depurated artificial seawater (ASW) at 22, 15, 10, 5 degrees C. Depuration 22 C had limited the oysters. Populations reduced by 1.2 2.0 log MPN/g, respectively, after 48 h Decreasing water 15 increased efficacy Reductions 2.1 2.9...
Cancer survival correlates not only with the features of primary malignancy but also degree underlying comorbidities. Of multiple methods used for evaluating impact comorbidities on survival, Charlson and Elixhauser are most common. This study compared these 2 comorbidity measures predicting in oral cancer patients. Using Taiwan National Health Insurance claims data (2008–2011), we acquired regarding patients' characteristics, comorbidities, from 3583 Comorbidity was classified according to...
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have high prevalences in Taiwan worldwide. However, the association of untreated with remains unclear.This cohort study used claims data National Health Insurance Research Database 1996-2010, which all diseases were classified by ICD-9-CM codes. We identified 17796 adults who had HBV did not take nucleos(t)ide analogues from 1998 to 2010 also randomly selected 71184 matched controls without same dataset. Cumulative...
The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness cetuximab combination therapy in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer treated at a hospital Southern Taiwan. This analyzed retrospective cohort 67 who were between January 2020 May 2024 two regimens, combined cisplatin 5-Fu, which administered every four weeks during hospitalization (CPF4) as outpatient treatment (CPF2), respectively. clinical outcomes, including overall survival progression-free (PFS), compared...
It has been documented that sex hormone may play a role in the pathogenesis of murine lupus. To determine effect tamoxifen (TAM) on NZB/W F1 female mice, total dose 800 μg (22 mg/kg body weight) TAM was administered subcutaneously every 2 weeks. The control mice were injected with peanut oil only. After treatment for 5 months, killed and immunological parameters evaluated. results suggest treated had less severe proteinuria increased survival rate compared to controls. Flow cytometric...
Dizziness and vertigo symptoms are commonly seen in emergency room (ER). However, these patients often discharged without a definite diagnosis. Conflicting data regarding the vascular event risk among dizziness or have been reported. This study aims to determine of developing stroke cardiovascular events ER home with diagnosis vertigo.A total 25,757 subjects at least one visit 2004 were identified. Of those, 1,118 dizziness. A Cox proportional hazard model was performed compare three-year...
BackgroundOral cancer leads to a considerable use of health care resources. Wide resection the tumor and reconstruction with pedicle flap/ free flap is widely used. This study was conducted investigate if young age at time diagnosis oral requiring this treatment confers worse prognosis. MethodsA total 2339 patients who underwent resections for from 2004 2005 were identified The Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Survival analysis, Cox proportional regression model,...
Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with chronic kidney (CKD). In Taiwan, CVD dominated by strokes but there no robust evidence for causal relationship between CKD stroke. This study aimed to explore such association. Methods We conducted nationwide retrospective cohort based on the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database from 2004 2007. Each patient identified was individually tracked full three years index admission...
IL-6 and sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling molecules are considered to maintain the growth of cancer stem cells (CSCs). Resveratrol, an important integrant in traditional Chinese medicine, possesses certain antitumor effects. However, mechanisms on regulating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) unclear. This study first used human subjects demonstrate that plasma levels IL-1 β AML patients were higher lower, respectively, than healthy donors. The expression Shh preproproteins, C- N-terminal peptides...
