Sepsis in elderly patients is a major cause of morbidity and mortality the clinical setting. The aim this study was to assess diagnostic significance volume conductivity scatter (VCS) parameters compare their reliability with that inflammatory markers.Patients (N=85) were divided into 3 groups according history culture results: control (N=29), localized infection (N=38), sepsis (N=18). VCS obtained using UniCel DxH 800 Coulter system. Cut-off values established based on receiver operator...
ABSTRACT Background The clinical utility of urinary red blood cell (RBC) distribution (URD) remains limited. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance URD and dysmorphic RBC (dRBC) in a multicenter study. Methods enrolled 703 patients who visited four tertiary medical centers Korea. Patients were classified into glomerular diseases with biopsy ( N = 169), renal including chronic kidney disease 194), nephrotic syndrome (NS; 88), tubulointerstitial 36), acute injury 32), others...
Primary bovine chondrocytes were encapsulated in alginate and combined with cartilage matrix extract, Cartrigel, for the purpose of tissue engineering. The cell constructs incubated vitro gene expression cartilage-specific extracellular molecules was quantitated localized situ hybridization a decrease observed alginate-Cartrigel constructs. Further understanding response to scaffolds will allow rational design development hydrogels
We induced percutaneous spinal cord injuries (SCI) using a balloon catheter in 45 rats and transplanted human umbilical blood derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs) at the injury site.Locomotor function was significantly improved hUCB-MSCs groups.Quantitative ELISA of extract from entire injured showed increased expression brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth (NGF) neurotrophin-3 (NT-3).Our results show that treatment SCI with can improve locomotor functions, suggest...
Corynebacterium species are non-fermentous Gram-positive bacilli that normal flora of human skin and mucous membranes commonly isolated in clinical specimens.Non-diphtheriae regarded as contaminants when found blood culture.Currently, striatum is considered one the emerging nosocomial agents implicated endocarditis serious infections.We report a case native-valve infective caused by C. striatum, which was misidentified automated identification system but identified accurately 16S ribosomal...
Here, we describe two dogs in which canine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) was implanted as a biomaterial scaffold during perineal herniorrhaphy.Both had developed severe muscle weakness, unilaterally herniated rectal protrusions, and heart problems with potential anesthetic risks.Areas affected by the hernia (PH) located between internal obturator external anal sphincter muscles were reconstructed naïve SIS sheets.In 12 months, post-operative complications such wound infections, sciatic...

The validation of sample stability through pneumatic tube system (PTS) is essential. objective this study was to evaluate the effects PTS transportation on laboratory results.Paired EDTA and SST blood samples were collected from 56 randomly selected patients. Laboratory parameters compared between group hand-delivered group.No statistical differences observed for complete counts, white cell differential parameters, erythrocyte sedimentation rate most chemistry transport procedures. Mean...
Localized radiotherapy (RT) can cause immune dysfunction. Bojungikki-tang is known to restore function. We investigated the absolute counts and percentages of peripheral blood (PB) lymphocyte subtypes in end stage cancer patients before after RT oral administration water extract (BJITE) evaluate changes mediated by BJITE. Absolute subsets were determined whole using TetraONE System (Beckman Coulter, USA). Flow cytometry results compared numbers CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ T cells CD19+ B decreased...
Vitamin C may interfere with the results of urine dipstick tests. We investigated incidence urinary vitamin and its interference reagents using a dipstick.The was determined in patients healthy individuals undergoing routine medical check-ups. Interference tests were performed samples various amounts added C. For clinical samples, we identified false-negative glucose, hemoglobin, leukocyte esterase based on sediment serum glucose results.Vitamin found 18.1% subjects overall, 23.1% those...
Here, percutaneous spinal cord injury (SCI) methods using a balloon catheter in adult rats are described. A was inserted into the epidural space through lumbosacral junction and then inflated between T9-T10 for 10 min under fluoroscopic guidance. Animals were divided three groups with respect to inflation volume: 20 μL (n = 18), 50 18) control (Fogarty but not inflated; n 10). Neurological assessments made based on BBB score, magnetic resonance imaging histopathology. Both volumes produced...

Objectives Classifying the pattern of jaundice during diagnosis will significantly improve outcome common KM interventions. This study aimed at determining an objective index for accurately diagnosing heat and dampness patterns in patients with jaundice. Methods: We systematically reviewed laboratory findings from case reports published scientific literature Korean medicine. Cases were classified as following either or pattern. Biochemical indices compared using a Bayesian factor (BF)...
When unpredicted surgical blood loss occurs, it is essential that arrive from the bank in a timely manner.To evaluate turnaround time (TAT) for red cells (RBCs) to operating suite. Cases with delayed TATs were further analyzed determine potential causes delays.During 6-month period, intraoperative RBC requests included among component request lists at single tertiary care hospital.A total of 387 RBC-product received room, which 220 (56.8%) cases requests. The overall mean (SD) TAT was 19.4...
Background: Most mutations in the reverse transcriptase (RT) gene of hepatitis B virus (HBV) are related to resistance antiviral agents.Cross-sectional studies on this rare.Thus, we analyzed mutation patterns RT genes and their biochemical parameters.Methods: From 2009 2012, 301 blood specimens from patients with chronic at Daegu Catholic University Medical Center were retrospectively for sequence HBV, ALT, e antigen (HBeAg), HBV DNA.The compared parameters.Results: Of patients, 100 (33.2%)...
Imperforate hymen is a rare obstructive anomaly of the female reproductive tract. It associated with complications, such as cyclical abdominal pain, urinary retention, and pelvic mass.A 13-year-old girl presented several times to emergency room lower pain for year. She received conservative treatment, control, at each visit. visited our gynecological clinic worsening 14-cm hematocolpos was found on ultrasonography. finally diagnosed an imperforate hematocolpometra. Hymenectomy performed,...
Background The number of CD34+ cells in a peripheral blood stem cell collection is the key factor predicting successful treatment hematologic malignancies. Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) most popular medicinal herb Korea. objective this study was to determine effect KRG on hematopoietic colony formation. Methods Bone marrow (BM) samples were obtained from 8 human donors after acquiring informed consent. BM mononuclear (MNCs) isolated, and sorted using magnetic beads....
Background: It is necessary to predict the bleeding risk in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). To evaluate adequacy of primary hemostasis, preoperative hemostatic screening tests are used. In present study, we determined whether there a positive correlation between prolonged closure time (CT) with collagen/epinephrine (CT-epi), prothrombin (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin (aPTT) and during FESS. Patients methods: We...
