The aim of this study was to reveal nationwide seroprevalence HCV infection in South Korea by a large-scale survey.From January December 2009, total 291 314 adults underwent health check-up 29 centres nationwide. data concerning anti-HCV antibody and biochemical tests were obtained from all participants. Among subjects with positive anti-HCV, such as RNA, genotypes treatment detail additionally analysed.Using an estimated 2009 population Korea, the age, sex area-adjusted rate 0.78%. Anti-HCV...
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection leads to hepatic and extrahepatic manifestations including chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the association between HBV CKD is not clear. This study investigated in a nationwide multicenter study. A total of 265,086 subjects who underwent health-check examinations 33 hospitals from January 2015 December were enrolled. surface antigen (HBsAg) positive cases (n = 10,048), age- gender-matched HBsAg negative controls 40,192) identified. was defined as...
We compared clinical features and laboratory findings of 104 patients with hepatitis A 197 scrub typhus. Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, hepatomegaly, jaundice were common in patient A, fever headache significantly more At presentation, an alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level ≥ 500 U/L was observed 1% typhus 87.5% ( P < 0.001). bilirubin 1.3 mg/dL 16.8% 90.4% patients. The ALT:lactate dehydrogenase ratio ≤ 5 97.4% the > 95.2% those Fever, headache, rash, eschar are that indicate An...
<b><i>Background and Purpose:</i></b> Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) tyrosine kinases play an important role in regulating smooth muscle contraction of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Interstitial cells Cajal (ICCs) are pacemaker that regulate GI activity. Thus, MAP on potentials colonic ICCs was investigated. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Cultured were prepared from mice colons, their recorded using whole-cell patch clamping....
Scrub typhus is an infectious disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi-induced systemic vasculitis, but the involvement of gastrointestinal tract and endoscopic findings associated with scrub are not well understood. We performed a prospective study recommend performing esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) for all possible patients, regardless symptoms. Gastrointestinal symptoms, clinical severity based on organ ICU admission were analyzed. symptoms occurred in up to 76.4% patients. The major...
Peritonsillar abscess is a common deep throat infection. Early diagnosis and prompt, appropriate management of peritonsillar prevents mortality. A 45-year-old woman on steroids for an ulcerative colitis (UC) exacerbation presented with sore multiple skin ulcers her left forearm right foot. Computed tomography the neck revealed abscess. Gram staining culture were negative, biopsy suggested pyoderma gangrenosum (PG). The final was involvement steroid-refractory PG-associated UC. patient showed...
<b><i>Background and Purpose:</i></b> The exact mechanism of protease-activated receptors (PARs) on pacemaker activity interstitial cells Cajal (ICCs) has not been reported. We investigated the effects by activation PARs its signal mechanisms in colonic ICCs. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> whole-cell patch-clamp technique, RT-PCR Ca<sup>2+</sup> imaging were used cultured ICCs from mouse colon. <b><i>Results:</i></b>...
Objective This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of sofosbuvir plus ribavirin for treatment hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 2 infection determine optimal dosage. Methods From May 2016 March 2017, 199 patients received HCV at four centers in Jeollanam‐do Province, Korea. After excluding lost follow‐up those with insufficient data, we retrospectively assessed data 194 patients. The were evaluated. Results A sustained virological response was achieved 189 (intention‐to‐treat...
