Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a syndrome characterized by urinary urgency, frequency, pelvic pain, and nocturia in the absence of bacterial infection or identifiable pathology. IC devastating disease that certainly decreases quality life. However, causes remain unknown no effective treatments cures have been developed. This study evaluated therapeutic potency using human umbilical cord-blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCB-MSCs) to treat rat model investigate its responsible molecular...
Purpose:The prognosis of patients with malignant pheochromocytoma is poor, but the predictive factors are not well understood.We aimed to identify clinical characteristics malignancy after initial surgical removal in pheochromocytoma. Materials and Methods:We retrospectively reviewed records 152 diagnosed pheochromocytoma, including 5 (3.3%) metastasis at time excision 12 (7.9%)who developed during follow-up.To determine malignancy, we compared clinical, radiographical, urinary chemical...
Recently, neurological diseases associated with astroviruses (AstVs) have been reported in pigs, ruminants, minks, and humans. In 2017, neuro-invasive porcine astrovirus (Ni-PAstV) 3 was detected the central nervous system (CNS) of pigs encephalomyelitis Hungary USA. process diagnosing domestic exhibiting signs, histopathologic lesions non-suppurative meningitis, neuronal vacuolation, gliosis were detected, PAstV identified using reverse transcriptase PCR CNS samples four three farms from...
Post-prostatectomy incontinence (PPI) is a main complication of radical prostatectomy. The purpose this study was to compare the efficacy and safety Argus male sling (Argus) with that artificial urinary sphincters (AUS) in patients moderate PPI. A total 33 PPI underwent AUS or implantation from January 2009 June 2013 (13 AUS, 20 Argus). We defined as use 2â4 pads per day. To efficacy, we assessed success rate between two groups. Success daily need for no one small pad remained dry most...
Pseudogymnoascus is a psychrophilic fungus, which genus widely distributed in cold regions around the world. Recently, presence of destructans (Pd), causative agent white-nose syndrome (WNS) belonging to Pseudogymnoascus, has been reported neighboring countries Korea. However, no investigation on Pd In this study, cave-inhabiting bats and their habitats were investigated terms diversity cave fungi, we tried confirm Pd. Three caves suspected hosting selected, 83 environmental 53 bat samples...
To assess the validity of 2009 TNM classification for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and compare its ability to predict survival relative 2002 classification.We identified 1,691 patients who underwent radical nephrectomy or partial unilateral, sporadic RCC between 1989 2007. Cancer-specific was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method compared among groups log-rank test. Associations classifications with death from were evaluated Cox proportional hazards regression models. The predictive abilities two...
Wild aquatic birds, a natural reservoir of avian influenza viruses (AIVs), transmit AIVs to poultry farms, causing huge economic losses. Therefore, the prevalence and genetic characteristics isolated from wild birds in South Korea October 2019 March 2020 were investigated analyzed. Fresh fecal samples (3256) collected by active monitoring 11 bird habitats. Twenty-eight isolated. Seven HA eight NA subtypes identified. All AIV hosts Anseriformes species. The cleavage site 20 representative was...
Astroviruses (AstVs) have been detected in a wide range of animal species, including mammals and birds. Recently, novel AstV associated with neurological symptoms has the brains some mammals. Raccoon dog reported recently China. However, there no reports South Korea. Therefore, present study aimed to detect genetically characterize AstVs intestine brain tissues 133 wild raccoon dogs collected Korea between 2017 2019. Of seven dogs, were six intestinal four tissues. Analysis capsid protein...
A modular multichannel reaction module with microchannel-based coolant channels was considered, and a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model developed to describe the hydrodynamic behavior of module. Reaction rates for lumped chain length distribution hydrocarbon products generated by Fischer–Tropsch synthesis were proposed, kinetic CFD models shown satisfactorily fit experimental data under different production rates. High heat transfer resulting from use cooling channel maintained...
Adenovirus has been detected in a wide range of hosts like dogs, foxes, horses, bats, avian animals, and raccoon dogs. Canine adenoviruses with two serotypes host mammals are members the mastadenovirus family. adenovirus type 1 (CAdV-1) canine 2 (CAdV-2) cause infectious hepatitis bronchial disease, respectively. In this study, we investigated prevalence CAdV-1 wild Nyctereutes procyonoides Korea 2017-2020 from 414 tissue samples, including liver, kidney, lung, intestine, collected 105 dog...
To analyze the preoperative clinical and pathological characteristics of patients with pT0 prostate cancer.We retrospectively reviewed records 702 who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) at our institution between January 2004 July 2008 for clinically localized cancer. If there was no evidence residual tumor in specimen prostate, a patient staged as pT0. Patients disease were compared control group operated on during same period.Overall, 9 (1.3%) pathologic examination. Significant...
Astroviruses (AstVs) have been detected in a wide range of animal species, including mammals and birds. Recently, novel AstVs associated with neurological symptoms has the brain some mammals. Raccoon dog AstV reported recently China. However, there no reports South Korea. Therefore, present study aimed to detect genetically characterize intestine tissues 133 wild raccoon dogs collected Korea between 2017 2019. Seven were positive for AstV, four which also tissue. Analysis capsid protein...
Previously, we reported the potential of a novel Cdk inhibitor, 2-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl-N-[5-(1,1-dioxo-1λ6-isothiazolidin-2-yl)-1H-indazol-3-yl]acetamide (BAI) as cancer chemotherapeutic agent. In this study, investigated mechanisms by which BAI modulates FTI-mediated apoptosis in human renal carcinoma Caki cells. synergizes with FTI to activate DEVDase, cleavage poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP), and degradation various anti-apoptotic proteins plus LB42708-induced was inhibited pretreatment...
We assessed the long-term effects of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) on voiding, storage, and patient satisfaction.This retrospective study examined records 134 patients who had undergone TVT SUI were followed up more than 5 years. Voiding function was evaluated by measuring maximum flow rate (MFR), post-void residual urine volume (PVR), storage using a voiding diary. Patients asked to describe their satisfaction with operation.MFR lower at 1...
Abstract Bats are natural reservoirs for potential zoonotic viruses. In this study, next-generation sequencing was performed to obtain entire genome sequences of picornavirus from a picornavirus-positive bat feces sample (16BF77) and explore novel viruses in pooled (16BP) samples collected South Korea, 2016. Fourteen mammalian viral were identified 16BF77 29 16BP, verified by RT-PCR. The most abundant virus picornavirus. Highly variable encoding 3D pol classified into genera Kobuvirus ,...
