Abstract The objective of the study was to identify distinct patterns in inflammatory immune responses COVID-19 patients and investigate their association with clinical course outcome. Data from hospitalized were retrieved electronic medical record. Supervised k-means clustering serial C-reactive protein levels (CRP), absolute neutrophil counts (ANC), lymphocyte (ALC) used assign one three groups. Then, relationships between outcome assessed a discovery validation cohort. Unbiased analysis...
Studies two widely used algorithms, Glauber dynamics and the Swendsen-Wang (1987) algorithm, on rectangular subsets of hypercubic lattice Z/sup d/. We prove that, under certain circumstances, mixing time in a box side length L with periodic boundary conditions can be exponential L/sup d-1/. In other words, these algorithms is not rapid; instead it torpid. The models we study are independent set model q-state Potts model. For both models, that torpid region phase coexistence. model, at...
Background & Aim To investigate the prevalence, mortalities, and patient characteristics of Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) according to AARC (Asian Pacific Association for Study Liver ACLF Research Consortium) European CLIF-C (Chronic Failure definitions. Methods We collected retrospective data 1470 hospitalized patients with chronic disease (CLD) acute deterioration between January 2013 December from 21 university hospitals in Korea. Results Of assessed, prevalence based on...
Summary A panel of 17 tetraploid and 11 diploid potato genotypes was screened by comparative sequence analysis polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) insertion‐deletion (InDels), in regions the genome where genes qualitative and/or quantitative resistance to different pathogens have been localized. Most SNP InDel markers were derived from bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) insertions that contain sequences similar family plant pathogen having...
Background/Aims A revised classification system for renal dysfunction in patients with cirrhosis was proposed by the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative and International Ascites Club Working Group 2011. The aim of this study to determine prevalence according criteria proposal. Methods medical records cirrhotic who were admitted Konkuk University Hospital between 2006 2010 reviewed retrospectively. data obtained at first admission collected. kidney injury (AKI) chronic disease (CKD) defined...
We compared three times daily dual therapy with standard triple for effectiveness and safety in H. pylori infection.Two hundred four positive patients peptic ulcer were randomly assigned to one of two regimens: (i) amoxicillin, clarithromycin lansoprazole twice 2 weeks or (ii) amoxicillin weeks. The success eradication was evaluated 4 5 after completing treatment.The rate 82.8% the group 78.4% by per protocol analysis. This difference not significant (P= 0.573). Adverse events more frequent...
Background/Aims This study evaluated the clinical outcomes of balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) for treatment hemorrhage from gastric varices (GV) in Korean patients with liver cirrhosis (LC). Methods We retrospectively analyzed data 183 LC who underwent BRTO GV bleeding 6 university-based hospitals between January 2001 and December 2010. Results Of enrolled patients, 49 had Child-Pugh (CP) class A LC, 105 CP B, 30 C at time BRTO. was successfully performed 177...
The emergence of drug-resistant hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major problem for antiviral treatment in chronic infection. In this study, we analyzed the evolution mutations and characterized effects rtA181T rtI233V on viral replication drug resistance. We performed clonal analysis HBV polymerase gene from serum samples during breakthrough treated with agents. A series mutant clones containing and/or were constructed determined effect these ability An vitro study revealed that mutation...
Abstract Smart windows can change their optical characteristics according to environmental conditions or external stimuli (such as heat and electricity). They are manufactured by considering building characteristics, regional climate, energy policies, indoor air conditions. Their key properties have been improved developing novel materials, fabrication methods, designs. The be further multi‐stimuli‐responsive smart window systems. Recently, some integrated with storage, solar harvesting,...
The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) serves as an indicator short-term mortality among patients diagnosed with cirrhosis (LC) and is used to prioritize transplantation. In 2021, the updated version of MELD, MELD-3.0, was introduced improve accuracy prediction MELD. Therefore, this study aimed compare efficacy MELD 3.0 MELD-Na in predicting Korean LC.
The threat of chemical and biological warfare agents in a domestic terrorist attack military conflict is increasing worldwide. Elimination decontamination (CBW) are immediately required after such an attack. Simulated experiment for elimination CBW by making use atmospheric-pressure microwave plasma torches carried out. indicated the vitrification or burnout sewage sludge powders decomposition toluene gas as agent stimulant presented. A detailed characterization simulant chemicals using...
Abstract Background/Aims: Serum creatinine (Cr) is not a reliable marker for early detection of renal dysfunction in patients with cirrhotic ascites. Several reports have suggested that cystatin C (CysC) more sensitive than Cr detecting reduced function these patients. This study evaluated the clinical significance CysC ascites and normal serum level. Methods: We enrolled level (<1.2 mg/dl). Liver tests, international normalized ratio (INR) levels were measured on same day all using...
Background/Aims Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA testing can be performed using qualitative or quantitative assays, and it is still unclear which more useful as a primary test in patients positive for anti-HCV. The present study evaluated the usefulness of anti-HCV signal-to-cutoff ratio (S/CO ratio) predicting HCV results. Methods Patients on whom was due to enzyme immunoassay were enrolled. divided into viremia no-viremia groups according Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis...
This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between heart rate variability and driving fatigue through a physiological approach, examining effects of oxygen concentrations ranging from normal high. Driver fatigue, factor in fatal accidents, has complex causes varied symptoms. The ambiguity reporting changes due mixed terminology such as drowsiness prompted this study, which is based on premise that originates same mechanisms stress. A scenario induces was simulated, involving fifteen...
Background and Objectives: The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score has widely been used mortality prediction in liver cirrhosis (LC) patients transplantation allocation. There have recent modifications of MELD scores, such as MELD-Lactate (MELD-La) MELD-3.0. goal this study was to compare MELD, MELD-La, MELD-3.0 predicting among LC Korea. Materials Methods: This is a retrospective, single-centered which admitted Konkuk University Hospital between January 2011 December 2022 were...
