Hypersensitivity to human seminal fluid is rare but can be life threatening. We report a case of IgE-mediated anaphylaxis plasma that was diagnosed by skin prick tests and successfully treated local desensitization. A 32-year-old woman suffering from angioedema hypotension after exposure semen with epinephrine upon admission. Skin immunoblotting for IgE binding components showed she sensitized her husband's plasma. Local desensitization, which persisted six months, achieved intravaginal...
Seasonal changes in the abundance of exothermic organisms can be expected with climate change if warmer temperatures induce their phenology. Given increased time for ectothermic organism development at lower temperatures, we asked whether population dynamics house mosquito, Culex pipiens s.l. (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae), Jeju-do (South Korea), an island a gradient warming from north to south, showed differences sensitivity temperature along gradient. In addition, synchrony, that is, degree...
Background Mycobacterial identification in active pulmonary tuberculosis (APTB) is confirmative, even though successful rates using self-expectorated sputum are limited. Sputum specimens collected by hypertonic saline nebulization showed higher bacteriologic diagnostic sensitivities over those of self-expectoration, mostly studied smear-negative or sputum-scarce patients. The efficacy induced was rarely assessed real clinical settings. Methods A prospective randomized case-control study...

This study investigated the antioxidant activity of functional beverage concentrates containing herbal medicine extracts (FBCH) using various assays, such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) and reducing power assay. The total polyphenolic content FBCH (81.45 mg/100 g) was higher than Ssanghwa tea (SHT, 37.56 g). activities showed 52.92% DPPH 55.18% ABTS at 100 mg/mL, respectively. significantly...

Aspergillus tracheobronchitis, an uncommon form of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, is characterized by the development a pseudomembrane, ulcers, or obstruction that predominantly confined to tracheobronchial tree. Pseudomembranous tracheobronchitis most severe and only few cases have been reported in Korea. We report characteristic chest CT findings patient diagnosed with pseudomembranous after bronchoscopy successfully treated proper antifungal treatment.아스페르길루스 기관-기관지염은 침습성 폐 아스페르길루스의 매우...
Background: The appropriate empirical antimicrobial choice in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) should be advocated by community-based information on etiologic pathogens, their susceptibility to antimicrobials, clinical characteristics and outcomes.Jeju is a geographically isolated identical region Korea.However, there no regional reference adult CAP available.This study investigated agents outcomes patients diagnosed with Jeju, Korea, help guide choice.Methods: A...
