Leptin levels are increased in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) but little is known on how this correlates several disease characteristics including the frequency of regulatory T cells (Tregs). Here we compared serum leptin circulating Tregs 47 vs. 25 healthy matched controls. Correlations activity were also analyzed, as well Treg proliferation potential. It was found that remarkably SLE to controls, particularly moderate and severe active SLE, increase correlated activity....
pain following minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) is a critical concern that leads to prolonged hospital stay and high doses opiates administered the patients. This study aimed evaluate efficacy intraoperative cryoanalgesia (cryoablation intercostal nerves) during MIRPE. We retrospectively analyzed data 64 patients who underwent MIRPE received or epidural analgesia between January 2019 2021. The oral morphine milligram equivalent (MME) was used calculate dosage opioid...
Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a known risk factor for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We aimed to analyze the treatment outcome in patients who required veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) postcardiotomy ARDS despite other rescue modalities.We retrospectively reviewed outcomes 13 (mean age, 54.7±5.9 years) received VV-ECMO support refractory after cardiac between March 2013 and February 2016 at Severance Hospital, Yonsei University...
Complete resection is a standard treatment for patients with Masaoka-Koga stages II and III thymoma, however the role of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) controversial. We analyzed data collected from 4 Korean hospitals to determine effectiveness PORT in stage thymoma patients.Between January 2000 December 2013, 1,663 underwent surgery thymic tumors at hospitals. Among them, 668 (527 141 III) were investigated, among whom, 443 received (335 108 III). Propensity score matching (PSM) was...
Objectives: Pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum are associated with high mortality in invasively ventilated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients; however, the rates among non-intubated patients remain unknown. We aimed to analyze clinical features of COVID-19-associated pneumothorax/pneumomediastinum identify risk factors for mortality. Methods: searched PubMed Scopus Embase from January 2020 December 2021. performed a pooled analysis 151 no invasive mechanical ventilation history 17...
Abstract The waiting time for deceased donor kidney transplants (DDKT) is increasing. We evaluated DDKT prognosis according to the pretransplant dialysis vintage. A total of 4117 first-time transplant recipients were enrolled from a prospective nationwide cohort in Korea. divided into tertiles duration. Graft failure, mortality, and composite compared between living (LDKT) recipients. Pretransplant vintage was longer annually In subdistribution hazard model competing risk, first tertile did...
Malignant gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumor (GNET) is a very rare disease entity, especially in the esophagus. The diagnosis of GNET based on histologic, immunohistochemical, and genetic findings. choice treatment complete resection, further options can be considered. Herein, we describe case successful surgical 23-year-old man with recurrent malignant esophageal GNET.
Background Evaluating allocation system effects on lung transplantation and determining systemic flaws is difficult. The purpose of this study was to assess the Korean urgency-based using score. Methods We reviewed patients retrospectively. Candidates were classified into groups based urgency. Status 0 designated hospitalized requiring ventilator and/or extracorporeal life support. score calculated recipient's condition at transplantation. Results One-hundred-twenty-three 0, 1, 2/3 (40, 71,...
Tracheobronchial rupture due to blunt chest trauma is a rare but life-threatening injury in the pediatric population. Computed tomography (CT) not always reliable management of these patients. An additional concern that ventilation may be disrupted during surgical repair injuries. This report presents case 4 -year-old boy with an lower trachea and carina force was missed on initial CT scan. During surgery, he administered venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Although ECMO...
Complete resection of thymic neoplasms is important for achieving a favorable prognosis; however, the efficacy neoadjuvant therapy remains controversial. We investigated effect induction on complete and survival using 3-dimensionally reconstructed images to measure tumor volume.Eighty-nine patients who underwent surgical Masaoka-Koga stage III-IV between January 2000 December 2013 were enrolled, including 71 18 in primary surgery groups, respectively. Baseline characteristics, postoperative...
A 4-month-old boy diagnosed with acute myocarditis was treated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Follow-up echocardiography eight hours after ECMO revealed intracardiac thrombosis involving all four heart chambers. Because of the high risk systemic embolization due to a pedunculated thrombus aortic valve, we performed an emergency thrombectomy. After operation, patient had minor neurologic sequela left upper arm hypertonia, which almost disappeared at last outpatient clinic two...
In Leriche syndrome, postoperative graft thrombosis remains one of the most significant clinical challenges.We reviewed 51 patients who underwent surgery for aortoiliac occlusive disease at our hospital from January 2007 to December 2014. The factors associated with patency were determined using Cox proportional hazard model.The 2-year prosthetic rate was 72.5%. Younger age (p = 0.017, Odd ratio (OR) 1.112), uncontrolled hypertension 0.044, OR 3.797), and Trans Atlantic Inter-Society...
Background: Radiographic modalities have been commonly used to evaluate pectus carinatum (PC), and compressive orthotic bracing is the most widely accepted treatment method.The aim of this study was determine efficacy 3-dimensional (3D) body surface scanning as an alternative modality for evaluation PC.Methods: The medical records 63 patients with PC who were treated therapy between July 2017 February 2019 retrospectively analyzed.Using both 2-view chest radiography (posteroanterior lateral...
Abstract Data for Asian kidney transplants are very limited. We investigated the relative importance of prognostic markers in by using Korean Organ Transplantation Registry (KOTRY) cohort. Prediction models were developed data-driven variable selection approach. The selected predictors was measured dominance analysis. A total 4854 transplant donor-recipient pairs analyzed. Overall patient survival rates 99.8%, 98.8%, and 91.8% at 1, 3, 5 years, respectively. Death-censored graft 98.4%,...
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been accepted as an alternative to open surgical in certain groups of patients (1). A potential complication caused by persistent or recurrent flow into the aneurysm sac is known endoleak which can be classified four types (2). Complex type II endoleaks occur due reverse blood through branch vessels (3). Common sites are left subclavian artery and intercostal arteries with occasionally bronchial (4). Arterial pressure transmitted sac, causing...
To date, there is no consensual definition of what constitutes a postoperative recurrence primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP), despite being many studies reporting high incidence recurrence. This study aims to describe the long-term rates and suggest possible way differentiate events based on temporal patterns. single-center retrospectively evaluated all PSP from January 2007 May 2019. Patients' demographics, history pneumothorax, radiologic data, surgical technique, time between...
A large aortic aneurysm invading the arch can be catastrophic if rupture occurs.In past, standard treatment was an open thoracotomy followed by total replacement.However, surgery is difficult in patients at high operative risk.Consequently, thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR) preferred high-risk patients.In with a short proximal landing whose invades arch, TEVAR not available because of innominate, left carotid, and subclavian artery occlusion.We report two cases which aneurysms invaded who...
Kidney transplantation is a treatment of choice which improves survival and quality life for patients with end-stage renal disease.Due to the growing waiting list kidney transplantation, expansion donor pool use deceased pediatric kidneys critical importance.However, has been limited due concerns about early graft failure, hyperfiltration injury, technical difficulties.Performing ureteroneocystostomy using small en bloc sometimes difficult diameter short length ureter in adult recipient.We...
