While chronic β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate (HMB) supplementation (≥ 2 wk) lowers exercise induced muscle damage, its acute or timing effects have not been examined. The purpose of this study was to investigate the and oral HMB on serum creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), soreness, maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). Sixteen non-resistance trained men (22 ± yrs) were assigned HMB-Pre HMB-Post groups. In a crossover design, all subjects performed 55 eccentric knee...
We investigated the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) among health care workers (HCWs) and analyzed its risk factors in South Korea.A standard questionnaire regarding baseline demographics for LTBI was given to each participant tuberculin skin test (TST), QuantiFERON-TB GOLD In-Tube (QFT-GIT) assay, chest radiography were performed.A total 493 participants, 152 (30.8%) doctors 341 (69.2%) nurses enrolled eight tertiary referral hospitals. The mean age subjects 30.6 years...
The purpose of this study was to establish a prediction rule for severe illness in adult patients hospitalized with pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009. At the time initial presentation, baseline characteristics those (i.e., admission intensive care unit, mechanical ventilation, or death) were compared non-severe illnesses. total 709 adults 2009 included: 75 and 634 cases. multivariate analysis demonstrated that altered mental status, hypoxia (PaO(2)/FiO(2) ≤ 250), bilateral lung infiltration,...
Background: For more effective and safer usage of antibiotics, the dosing strategy should be individualized based on patients' characteristics, including race.The aim this study was to investigate population pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles piperacillin tazobactam in Korean patients with acute infections.Materials Methods: At least four consecutive 2/0.25 g or 4/0.5 doses piperacillin/tazobactam (TZP) were intravenously infused over 1 h every 8 for creatinine clearance (CL cr ) ≤50 mL/min CL...
Most studies on the effects of ambient ozone asthmatics have been based concentration measurements taken by air monitors in downtown areas. Using a passive sampler, we investigated on-site concentrations pulmonary function and symptoms asthmatics. Twenty moderate to severe who had managed for at least 2 months without changes their medication were enrolled from 3 June 18 July 2005. Respiratory, nasal ocular symptoms, peak expiratory flow (PEF), which was measured twice day, use recorded...
Background:The safety and clinical effectiveness data of peramivir in the real field are limited.A prospective observational study was conducted based on post-marketing surveillance to evaluate Korean adults with seasonal influenza.Methods: Among aged 20 years or older who were diagnosed influenza A B, patients started within 48 hours from initial symptoms enrolled.All adverse events (AEs) that occurred 7 days after administration checked.For evaluation effectiveness, changes severity daily...
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and omega‐3 fatty acids (n‐3) have received great attention due to their health enhancing benefits. However, the morphogenetic capacity of skeletal muscle during high fat diet (HFD)‐induced obesity efficacy CLA/n‐3 remain be established. Therefore, we investigated effects 20 wks administration resistance exercise (RE) on cross sectional area (CSA) myogenic in HFD‐fed mice. Once sacrificing eight C57BL/6 male mice (age=9 mo), remaining animals were randomly...
Diet‐induced obesity is directly associated with the development of hyperglycemia and stress kinase activation in target tissues, leading to impaired glucose tolerance insulin resistance (IR) skeletal muscle. Heat shock protein (HSP) induction shown attenuate IR by precluding kinases. While HSP‐mediated improvements metabolic function are observed acute heat treatment, little known about effects other inducers HSPs muscle such as exercise dietary modification. Therefore, objective this study...
Abstract Background Distinguishing between complicated and uncomplicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) is therapeutically essential. However, this distinction has limitations in reflecting the various manifestation of SAB. In light this, Koujizer et al. proposed a new risk stratification system for metastatic infection SAB, which involves stepwise approach to diagnosis treatment. We tested methicillin-resistant SAB (MRSAB) patients. Methods retrospectively analyzed data 3-year...
Lean mass (LM) decreases in soldiers due to the arduous training performed garrison and during combat operations. We investigated impact of HMB on myofiber dimensions body composition normal vs. catabolic conditions male C57BL/6 mice. Sixty one mice underwent a 4-wk run-in-phase simulate basic were then divided into 4 groups (n=10/group): AL=ad lib fed+exercise (1h/d for 3d/wk), ALH=AL+HMB (0.5 g/kg BW/day), C=caloric restricted (−30% ad groups)+exercise (2 km/d, 6d/wk) CH=C+HMB 6 wks...
β‐hydroxy‐β‐methylbutyrate (HMB) has shown to attenuate loss of muscle mass and function. However, the efficacy HMB during catabolism generated by prolonged exercise with calorie restriction yet been addressed. Therefore, present study investigated impact on myofiber cross sectional area (CSA) molecular regulators a 6‐wk normal or catabolic condition. C57BL/6 male mice (Age= 6 wks) were divided into 4 groups (10/group): ALT=ad libitum+trained (1h/d for 3d/wk), ALTH=ALT+HMB (0.5 g/kg BW/day),...
DEXA-determined Body Composition Differences between Young and Old Rats Are Not Sensitive Enough to Predict Age-related Strength Sensorimotor Function Decrements Sarcopenia defined as the age-related decline in muscle mass resultant decrements strength, motor function that follow, is increasingly being studied with use of animal models. Recently, dual-energy x-ray absorbtiometry (DEXA) has been used determine body composition animals. Nevertheless, its ability detect differences indices lean...
Previous studies suggest that chronic β-Hydroxy β-Methyl Butyrate (HMB) supplementation (>2 wk) lowers exercise-induced muscle soreness and decrements in maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) via a possible increase sarcolemal integrity. However, HMB's acute or timing effects have not yet been examined. PURPOSE: Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate HMB on MVC soreness. METHODS: Sixteen non-resistance trained men (18-28 yr) were randomly assigned HMB-PRE HMB-POST groups. All...
