The mean platelet volume (MPV) is a laboratory marker associated with function and activity. Increased MPV in thromboembolic disease considered an important risk factor. aim of this study was to compare the MPV/platelet count (MPV/P) ratio between deep vein thrombosis (DVT) control subjects. We retrospectively reviewed medical records patients (n = 91) admitted due newly diagnosed DVT from December 2010 March 2012. group 311) underwent health screening at our Hospital. Median higher compared...
Oral Diseases (2012) 18 , 655–660 Objective: To compare the effects of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)‐free and SLS‐containing dentifrice in patient with recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS). Materials methods: The design this study was a double‐blind crossover trial. 90 subjects were divided into three groups: group I used SLS‐free (a commercially available dentifrice) SLS‐A (SLS‐free + 1.5% SLS), II SLS‐B dentifrice), III SLS‐B. one two assigned dentifrices for 8 weeks then other following...
Abstract The clinical outcomes of 2,054 renal recipients were examined retrospectively based on pre‐transplant hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) status to investigate the efficacy lamivudine treatment in HBsAg positive recipients. Pre‐transplant positivity was documented 66 10‐year patient and graft survival rates Ag group significantly lower than those negative (64.4/36.6% vs. 88.2/70.5%, respectively, P < 0.0001). Since 1997, used when virus polymerase chain reaction (HBV PCR) or...
Background. The shortage of donor organs is one the major barriers to transplantation worldwide. After success direct exchange (swap) program in Korea since 1991, we have developed a swap-around program. However, reports on long-term outcomes programs are scarce. Methods. From September 1995 2006, performed 1193 cases renal transplantation, including 398 from living-unrelated donors. donors included 129 and 269 nonexchange We compared with that program, examined merits limitations Results....
Intraoperative assessment of tissue perfusion is important to predict wound healing or improvement symptoms in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) vascular trauma. There no widely accepted standard for intraoperative measurement perfusion. Here, we report the use indocyanine green (ICG)-based angiography determine blood flow PAD and trauma.The SPY fluorescent imaging system was utilized. A dose 3-5 mL ICG (2.5 mg/mL) injected intravenously followed by a 10 normal saline flush....
Summary This study examined changes in masticatory function after botulinum toxin type A ( BTX ‐A) injection using objective and subjective tests during 12 weeks. Also, we compared differences between group which only masseter muscle (M group) was injected temporal (M‐T were injected. Forty subjects assigned into two groups; M n = 20) the M‐T 20). The Meditoxin ® used as ‐A injection. mixing ability index MAI ) indicator, visual analogue scale VAS food intake FIA indicators. Overall,...
The aim of this study was to determine the force distribution and pattern mastication after injection botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) into both masseter muscles. hypothesis be tested that difference between right left balance occlusal diminishes over time following BTX-A injection.Fifteen patients were submitted therapy for subjective hypertrophy. total 25 U (50 in total) injected two points located 1 cm apart at center lower one-third All examined using T-Scan occlusion analysis system...
Purpose: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) has been a major public health issue in the elderly.Advances endovascular surgery have led to substantial shift management of PAD.Although nationwide trend PAD treatment Western countries was reported, limited data available on this Korea.This study examined national Korea over past decade.Methods: Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service were used.We sought analyze trends open for Medicare beneficiaries between 2004 2013.We also analyzed each...
Abstract— Quantitative information, such as the initiation period, growth and coalescence behaviour, statistical distributions of crack length, density cracks, distribution patterns properties, were obtained from fatigue tests on type 304 stainless steel at 538°C in a previous study. Using this information input data condition for connection interactions simulation life prediction due to high temperature process was performed illustrated output two‐dimensional graphical display.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most important opportunistic viral pathogen in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. The Korean guideline for prevention of CMV infection SOT recipients was developed jointly by Society Infectious Diseases and Transplantation. serostatus both donors should be screened before transplantation to best assess risk after SOT. Seronegative receiving organs from seropositive face highest risk, followed Either antiviral prophylaxis or preemptive therapy can used...
The study was to investigate the changes in biochemical properties of activated mature CD8+ T cells related apoptosis at a molecular level. We confirmed activation and by fluorescence-activated cell sorting atomic force microscopy then performed Raman spectral measurements on cellular deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA). In cells, there were increases protein spectra 1002 1234 cm−1. particular, assess apoptosis-related DNA signatures, we investigated isolated from resting cells. 765 786 cm−1 1053...
Background Diabetes mellitus is a common and crucial metabolic complication in kidney transplantation. It necessary to analyze the course of glucose metabolism patients who already have diabetes after receiving transplant. In this study, we investigated changes transplantation, detailed analysis was performed on some whose glycemic status improved. Methods The multicenter prospective cohort study conducted between 1 April 2016 31 September 2018. Adult (aged 20 65 years) received allografts...
Small-for-size syndrome (SFSS) is a major problem in liver surgery, and splenectomy has been used to prevent SFSS. However, it unknown whether the same effect on regeneration both standard marginal hepatectomy. The aim of this study see difference according amount resection.Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats (220 260 g) were divided into following five groups: control (n = 6), 70% hepatectomy with 90% 6). animals euthanized 24 hours after surgery specimens obtained. To assess regeneration, we...
Methotrexate (MTX) is a chemotherapeutic agent that used to treat host of malignancies. But recently, MTX has also been as therapeutic for chronic inflammatory disorders such rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. However, an antimetabolite affects rapidly dividing normal cells oral mucosal epithelial cells, gastrointestinal bone marrow cells-which explains why mucositis often initial manifestation toxicity. Because lesions are frequently initially presented in...
Background. Serum soluble CD30 (sCD30) levels might be a useful marker of immunologic status in pre transplant (Tx) recipients. We retrospectively correlated preTx sCD30 (high versus low) on postTx graft survival, incidence acute rejection, and function using stored serum. Methods. Of 254 recipients who underwent kidney Tx, 120 were enrolled under the uniform criteria (living donor, age >25 years, viral hepatitis free, diabetes free). Results. The was not significantly associated with...
