Background: Replicating the normal anatomy of shoulder is an important principle in design prosthetic devices and development surgical techniques. In this study, we used a three-dimensional simulation to compare abilities adjustable neck-shaft angle prosthesis fixed restore geometry proximal part humerus. Methods: A total 2058 cadaveric humeri were measured define distribution angles. Thirty-six selected represent wide variation angles, computed tomographic scans with reconstruction made...
Abstract Background Body composition changes with ageing can influence the adiponectin concentration. However, component of body that is associated concentrations in older adults remains unclear. Methods There were 152 males and 168 females aged 65 years or participated 2010 Hallym Aging Study (HAS). (assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry; DXA), anthropometric parameters obtained from all participants. Multivariate linear regression models assessed association fat percentage, regional...
Background Prospective investigation of obesity and renal function decline in Asia is sparse. We examined the associations body mass index (BMI) waist circumference (WC) with a prospective study Korean population. Methods A total 454 participants who had baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels more than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 Hallym Aging Study (HAS) were included followed for 6 years. Renal was defined as follows: (1) an eGFR ≥3 m2/year (n = 82 cases); (2) decrease 20% or...
Background: Adjuvant perineural dexmedetomidine can be used to prolong the analgesic effect of interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB). We investigated optimal dose in ISB for postoperative analgesia patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Methods: One hundred scheduled elective surgery were enrolled this randomized, double-blind study. Ultrasound-guided was performed before general anesthesia using 22 mL ropivacaine 0.5% combined with 1, 1.5, or 2 μg/kg (group D1, D2, and D3,...
Background:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiologic results total shoulder arthroplasty using computerized three-dimensional (3D) templating in preoperative planning.Methods: Ten patients who underwent 3D preoperatively were enrolled study.A specialized computer program used reconstruct images from computed tomographic images.The various sizes prostheses as template surgical planning arthroplasty.The size glenoid, humeral head, and stem measured compared with those actual...
Purpose Understanding changes in pathogen and pneumonia prevalence among pediatric patients is important for the prevention of infectious diseases. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data children younger than 18 years diagnosed with at 117 Emergency Departments Korea between 2007 2014. Results Over study period, 329,380 cases were identified. The most frequent age group was 1–3 old (48.6%) next less 12 months (17.4%). Based on International Classification Diseases, 10th revision diagnostic...
Abstract Objective: There is limited evidence on the interaction by alcohol dehydrogenase 2 ( ADH1B ) (rs1229984) and aldehyde ALDH2 (rs671) regarding associations of a methyl diet (low folate high intake) with cancer risk, partly because rare polymorphisms in Western populations. Design: In case–control study, we estimated ORs 95 % CIs to evaluate genotypes colorectal (CRC) joint association between diets CRC risk using logistic regression models. Setting: A hospital-based study....
Height is known as an index that reflects the environment of fetal, childhood, and adolescent periods, which affect adult health. This study was conducted to elucidate whether height associated with cognitive impairment in community-dwelling elders Korea.The subjects were recruited among community dwelling elderly individuals aged 65 or over who participated 2004 Hallym Aging Study. They invited a general hospital evaluated for socioeconomic status, smoking history, various clinical...
Background/Aim. In Korea, the rate of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication has declined steadily as a result increasing resistance to antibiotics, especially dual clarithromycin and metronidazole. However, microbiological culture data on drug-resistant H. is lacking. This study evaluated antimicrobial efficacy candidate antibiotics against resistant strains. Methods. After retrospectively reviewing from Registry in Gil Medical Center (GMC) Asan (AMC), along with 4 reference strains,...
Polyethylene is widely used but highly resistant to biodegradation, owing its composition of only a hydrocarbon backbone. For biodegradation occur, oxidation within the polymer needs be initiated. Galleria mellonella was first insect discovered autonomously oxidize polyethylene without aid gut microbes. However, specific enzyme remains unidentified. Here, we identified for time two candidates cytochrome P450 (CYP) 6B2-GP04 and CYP6B2-13G08 from G. midgut. Both candidate clones oxidized...
Objectives The purpose of this study is to check accuracy height, weight and body mass index (BMI) verify usefulness the obesity rate based on self-reported height weight. Methods Self-reported values those who took part in 2016 Community Health Survey 3 areas (2,198 persons) were investigated measured. mean difference between measured BMI was estimated with paired t-test Pearson correlation coefficient. Percent agreement (%) Kappa Statistics calculated per group (<18.5, 18.5-24.9, 25-29.9,...
The association between red meat intake and colorectal cancer (CRC) may be modulated by genetic polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 2E1 ( CYP2E1 ), a key enzyme in the metabolism nitrosamines, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma PPARγ transcription factor involved adipogenesis lipid glucose metabolism. We conducted case–control study 971 patients with CRC 658 controls who were admitted to two university hospitals 1995 2004 Seoul, Korea. Participants asked about using validated food...
Lesions of the long head biceps brachii tendon (LHBT) are a common source shoulder pain and dysfunction. Although exact role LHBT in biomechanics is not clearly understood, pathological involvement this well-known generator frequently clinical presentation consists both anterior flexion loss. The initial treatment for lesions should be nonoperative, but if that fails or lesion combined with rotator cuff other need to repaired surgically, surgical intervention indicated. Tenotomy tenodesis 2...
In this study, the variations in heat transfer coefficients (HTC) on turbine blade tip were compared for a stationary cascade configuration, configuration with moving shroud, and 3D annular rotating nozzle. The HTC distributions of cases rotor case numerically investigated. It was revealed that location size hotspot regions different each case. Furthermore, conducted various relative motions. results showed at lower motions, distribution is similar to configuration. However, as motion...
