We estimated out-of-pocket health care spending and burden ratio employing household equivalent income in the Republic of Korea. examined variations spending, income, identified factors associated with spending.We used 1998 Korean National Health Nutrition Survey, a nationally representative survey 39,060 individuals. Our analyses ratio, use by socioeconomic status, insurance type, facility chronic condition after we controlled for sociodemographic variables.The lowest quintile spent 12.5%...
Context: Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), an active component of honeybee propolis, is known to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other beneficial medicinal properties. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying its anti-allergic effects in mast cells are unknown.
This study was designed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of oyster shell extract on production pro-inflammatory factors [NO, reactive oxygen species (ROS), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cycloxygenase-2 (COX-2)] cytokines [Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) TNF-α] in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated Raw 264.7 cells. Cell viability, as measured by MTT assay, showed that had no significant cytotoxicity The treatment with...
Through implementation of its 2000 pharmaceutical reform, the South Korean government expected to reduce cost medications and improve service levels, medical appropriateness care, drug effectiveness. However, despite reform's lofty goals, unintended consequences have distorted supply services spending. These included increasing use uninsured services, prescribing high-price drugs, a growing market share for multinational companies. Further reforms are needed measure's adverse effects. This...
Obesity is an important issue in the world of public health and preventive medicine. Inhibition proliferation preadipocytes plays role proposed antiobesity mechanisms. In this study, we investigated effect diphlorethohydroxycarmalol (DPHC) isolated from Ishige okamurae on apoptotic pathway. The results showed that DPHC inhibited population growth 3 T3‐L1 as assessed using 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Flow cytometric analysis number early late cells...
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES:In this study, we investigated whether Gelidium amansii extract (GAE) ameliorates obesity in diet -induced obese (DIO) mice.MATERIALS/METHODS: The mice were maintained on a high-fat (HD) for 5 weeks to generate the DIO mouse model.And then fed HD plus 0.5% (GAE1), 1% (GAE2) or 2% (GAE3) 8 weeks.RESULTS: After experimental period, GAE-supplemented groups significantly lower than group body weight gain and liver weight.GAE supplemented both epididymal mesenteric adipose...
Robot-assisted repair of atrial septal defect (ASD) can be performed under either beating-heart or non-beating-heart conditions. However, the risk cerebral air embolism (i.e., stroke) is a concern in approach. This study aimed to compare outcomes beating- and approaches robot-assisted ASD repair.From 2010 2019, total 45 patients (mean age, 43.4±14.6 years; range, 19-79 years) underwent using da Vinci robotic surgical system. Twenty-seven these cases were on beating heart (beating-heart...
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile and coccoid, ovoid or rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated MYP11T, was isolated from seawater around Jeju island, Republic of Korea identified by polyphasic taxonomic study. neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain MYP11T joined the cluster comprising type strains Shimiaabyssi, Shimiaaestuarii Shimiaaquaeponti, showing sequence similarities 96.3-96.8 %. Strain exhibited similarity values 94.2-94.9 % to other...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant comorbidity in patients with heart failure and valvular disease. Renal impairment not well evaluated the Stage B progressive aortic regurgitation (AR) (mild to moderate grades this study), for estimating outcome.We sought investigate prognostic factor, especially CKD, AR.We enrolled 262 AR preserved left ventricular systolic function (ejection fraction ≥ 50%). Based on presence of were divided into CKD (n = 70) non-CKD 192) groups, which was...
본 연구에서는 12개년의 종단면 시계열 자료를 활용하여 절대소득과 상대소득을 포함한 노후의 소득수준이 생활만족도에 영향을 미치는지의 여부를 검증하였다. 연구결과, 자산분위별, 지역별 및 학력기준에 따른 각 준거집단의 상대소득이 노인 자신의 절대소득보다 더 큰 영향력을 미치고 있음을 확인할 수있었다. 횡단자료를 이용한 상관관계 분석에서도 상대소득은 생활만족도와 밀접한 관련성을 갖는 것으로 나타 났으며 종단자료를 패널분석모형에서 상대소득 수준은 생활만족도 수준결정에 있어 유의미한 보이고 있었다. 비교대상이 되는 소득수준보다 상대적으로 높을 경우에 삶의 만족도는 증가하는 확인되었다. 또한 과거 시점의 수준도 현재 노인의 평균 결정에 미치는 나타났다. 종단자료 분석에서 나타난 이러한 분석결 과는 중장기적 관점에서의 결정과정에서 기존의 절대소득가설보다는 상대소득가설이 보다 타당하다는 사실을 입증하고 있다. 구체적인 학문적 실천적 함의로는 정책당국의 경제적 지원만으로는 충분치 않으며...
Some cardiac surgical patients present low output syndrome due to ventricular dysfunction resulting from postischemic myocardial stunning. We a case of using unusually high dose inotropes so that we could avoid mechanical circulatory support after surgery. A 65-year-old man underwent elective His immediate was poor and vital signs were unstable. aggressively increased the catecholamine above usual elevated. The patient recovered without significant injury. After few years, TTE showed more...
