Abstract Insulin secretion is elaborately modulated in pancreatic ß cells within islets of three-dimensional (3D) structures. Using human pluripotent stem (hPSCs) to develop islet-like structures with insulin-producing for the treatment diabetes challenging. Here, we report that clusters derived from hESCs are functionally capable glucose-responsive insulin as well therapeutic effects. Pancreatic hormone-expressing endocrine (ECs) were differentiated using a step-wise protocol. The...
The authors studied three hypothesized explanations for reduced birth weights of infants born to US adolescent mothers—social disadvantage, biologic immaturity, and unhealthy behaviors during pregnancy. A hierarchical regression analysis was pursued evaluate these using data from the National Longitudinal Study Youth on 1,754 first births between 1979 1983 women aged 14–25 years at time birth. mothers 14–17, 18–19, 20–23 were 133, 54, 88 g less than 23–25. results indicate that young...
Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is an aging process associated with the prognosis in heart failure (HF), regardless etiology. This study investigated association between CHIP and myocardial tissue characteristics patients non-ischemic HF. We enrolled 95 diagnosed HF a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤40 % who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 3 months diagnosis. Next-generation sequencing was performed to determine presence...
A survey to evaluate the current status of bariatric and metabolic operations in Korea was conducted. Data from 5467 cases (32 hospitals) were collected.

Most traumatic tracheobronchial injuries are fatal and result in death. Some milder cases not life threatening often missed at the initial presentation. Tracheobronchial rupture is difficult to diagnose evaluation of severe multiple trauma patients. We reviewed Konyang University Eulji Hospital analyzed clinical results.From January 2001 December 2011, 23 consecutive injury after blunt were retrospectively. divided them into two groups by time diagnosis: group I was defined as patients who...
The purpose of this study is to investigate the incidence new compression and analyze factors that influence fractures in adjacent levels after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). This retrospective examined 206 patients who had undergone PVP for single level osteoporotic or osteopenic during last seven years our department. After PVP, were observed at least over one year, 29 showed additional levels. One hundred seventy did not show analyzed as control group. Statistical comparisons...
In rural Bangladesh, the continuation rate of oral contraceptives (OCs) is lowest among all methods except for condoms, and pregnancy OC users comparable to that traditional methods, which lies halfway between foam condom (high) Depo-Provera IUD (low). To determine why postpartum amenorrheic acceptors have shorter intervals than postamenorrheic who were matched on time acceptance as well age parity, subintervals interval are examined. Results reveal significantly duration use by acceptors....
The purpose of this study was to investigate the surgical results and prognostic factors for patients with soft cervical disc herniation myelopathy.During last 7 years, 26 discogenic myelopathy were undertaken anterior discectomy fusion. Clinical radiographic features reviewed evaluate factors. clinical outcome judged using two grading systems (Herkowitz's scale Nurick's grade).Male predominant (4:1), C5-6 most frequently involved level. Gait disturbance, variable degree spasticity,...
Reperfusion injury of the spinal cord has been scarcely reported. Herein, we present a case white syndrome after decompression. A 61-year-old male, who initially had ossification posterior longitudinal ligament at C3-6 level, was admitted to our hospital with ruptured disc C6-7 level. The patient experienced radiating pain in both upper extremities. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion performed. However, developed quadriplegia. Emergency magnetic resonance imaging revealed new enlarged...
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is considered to be a rarer autoimmune disease than multiple sclerosis. It very difficult make diagnosis of MNO for doctors who are not familiar with its clinical features and diagnostic criteria. We report case young female patient had been suffering motor weakness radiating pain in both upper extremities. Cervical MRI showed tumorous lesion spinal cord performed surgery remove lesion. could find tumor mass operation field final was NMO. NMO must included the...
We describe two cases of vertebral artery injury during posterior cervical fusion. treated both by an endovascular technique. The may result in catastrophic situations, such as, infarction, massive blood loss and even death. Our clinical outcome was good we prove that treatment is effective less invasive way to treat injury.
The length of the interval from last live birth to subsequent pregnancy was studied for 121 contraceptive pill acceptors who were in postpartum amenorrhea at time acceptance and matched nonacceptors a prospective study Matlab, Bangladesh. Half discontinued use within seven months, as group had significantly shorter next than nonacceptors. These findings suggest that unless continuation rates can be improved, it is better not encourage women rural Bangladesh start during amenorrhea.
Acupuncture is a well-known traditional medical procedure in Korea and being increasingly used to treat various conditions including pain control, especially among the older generation.
