Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that excess weight increases the risk of thyroid cancer. However, associations between and prognostic factors for cancer are uncertain. We evaluated relationships body mass index (BMI) clinico-pathological features outcomes papillary (PTC).Retrospective analysis 2057 patients with PTC was performed. Patients were grouped according to BMI (underweight, normal weight, overweight obesity)-based World Health Organization standardized categories. Logistic...
Although papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) has a favourable long-term prognosis, disease recurrence after initial treatment remains problem and controversy exists regarding the role of radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation in PTMC. We performed this study to evaluate effect RAI on patients with PTMC.Between 1994 2004, 2579 underwent surgery for cancer at Samsung Medical Center. Among these patients, 704 PTMC presumed disease-free were followed up (median, 64 months; range, 1-185 months)....
This prospective study sought to investigate serum levels of trace elements (cobalt, copper, zinc, and selenium) assess their effects on pregnancy neonatal outcomes. Serum in 245 Korean pregnant women (median gestational age at delivery was 39 + 4 weeks interquartile range 38 4-40 1 weeks) were compared with those 527 general adults previous studies other ethnic groups. Pregnancy outcomes including diabetes, preeclampsia, birth weight, congenital abnormalities assessed. The median element...
It is a very important social issue for Korea to have healthy old age as an aged society. Aging causes lot of physical changes, especially sarcopenia. Sarcopenia defined persistent decrease in skeletal muscle and strength. Sarcopenic obesity phenomenon which fat replaced instead muscle. The purpose this study was examine the prevalence sarcopenia sarcopenic Korean elderly analyze relationship with chronic disease.Data from 2008 2011 National Health Nutrition Survey were used. A total 3,492...
Phytic acid (PA) acts as an antinutrient substance in cereal grains, disturbing the bioavailability of micronutrients, such iron and zinc, humans, causing malnutrition. GmIPK1 encodes inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate 2-kinase enzyme, which converts myo-inopsitol-1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate (IP5) to myo-inositol-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate (IP6) soybean (Glycine max L.). In this study, for developing with low PA levels, we attempted edit gene using CRISPR/Cas9 system introduce mutations...
Soybean is a major crop that used as source of vegetable oil for human use. To develop transgenic soybean with high α-linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3) content, the FAD3-1 gene isolated from lesquerella (Physaria fendleri) was to construct vectors two different seed-specific promoters, β-conglycinin (Pβ-con) and kidney bean phaseolin (Pphas), one constitutive cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter (P35S). The corresponding were Agrobacterium-mediated transformation imbibed mature half seeds....
Phosphate (Pi) starvation is a critical factor limiting crop growth, development, and productivity. Rice (Oryza sativa) R2R3-MYB transcription factors function in the transcriptional regulation of plant responses to various abiotic stresses micronutrient deprivation, but little known about their roles Pi signaling homeostasis. Here, we identified gene OsMYB58, which shares high sequence similarity with AtMYB58. OsMYB58 expression was induced more strongly by than other deficiencies....
Broadband antireflection (AR) covering from visible light to near infrared (NIR) wavelengths (400−2000 nm) was obtained by using three sequential spin-coatings of polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) copolymers with different volume fractions PMMA block (fPMMA) on a glass. PS-b-PMMA having the lowest fraction (fPMMA ∼ 0.3) among PS-b-PMMAs first spin-coated glass substrate. After spin-coating, film irradiated ozone prevent dissolution during next spin-coating process. Then...
Abstract Background The association of vascular invasion with tumor aggressiveness and poor prognosis in follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) remains controversial. Methods We reviewed medical records 204 patients histologically confirmed FTC. Results disease‐specific survival rates at 5 10 years were 94% 85%, respectively. Using Cox proportional hazard model, the extent invasiveness frequency distant metastasis found to be independent prognostic factors for all When we performed individual...
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a phytohormone that plays an important role in the adaptive responses to abiotic stresses. We examined metabolic changes transgenic soybean over-expressed Arabidopsis ABA responsive element-binding factor 3 (ABF3), which participates drought tolerance. Transgenic and non-transgenic plants were exposed water deficit, their differences verified by untargeted GC‒MS LC‒MS/MS analyses. A total of 64 476 primary secondary metabolites from leaf extracts identified based on...
Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a significant impact on global health. Studies have shown that subclinical thyroid dysfunction may be related to CKD, but the association between and CKD in general population is unclear. We aimed evaluate risk of according function status large cohort. Methods analyzed data from nationwide, population-based, cross-sectional survey (KNHANES VI). A total 3,257 participants aged ≥ 19 years who underwent assessments were included this study....
Wild rice, Oryza grandiglumis shows hyper-resistance response to pathogen infection. In order identify genes necessary for defense in plants, we have carried out a subtractive hybridization coupled with cDNA macroarray. An acidic PATHOGENESIS-RELATED1 (PR1) gene of the wild rice is highly identical PR1 different plant species. The OgPR1a has an apparent single open reading frame predicted molecular mass 40,621 Da and isoelectic point 5.14. Both silico analysis transient expression assay...
Objective Recent studies have reported that thyroid hormone levels are associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) even in euthyroid subjects. However, the association between autoimmunity and MetS is uncertain. This study aimed to investigate relationship a large cohort of Methods A total 4775 participants aged ≥19 years from Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey VI (2013–2015) anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) results normal functions were included this study. Subjects...
Background: A low-iodine diet (LID) is usually recommended for a week or two before radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation therapy in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients after total thyroidectomy. However, it still controversial whether an LID affects outcomes. We therefore evaluated the association between urinary excretion and rate of successful investigated determinants RAI Methods: retrospectively reviewed records 295 consecutive with PTC who received 1110 MBq remnant hormone withdrawal...
