The PadR family is a large group of transcriptional regulators that function as environmental sensors. negatively controls the expression phenolic acid decarboxylase, which detoxifies harmful acids. To identify mechanism by regulates acid-mediated gene expression, we performed structural and mutational studies effector operator recognition Bacillus subtilis PadR. contains an N-terminal winged helix-turn-helix (wHTH) domain (NTD) C-terminal homodimerization (CTD) dimerizes into dolmen shape....
Background and Objectives: Kidney transplantation (KT) is an important treatment modality for renal failure. However, moderate-to-severe pain often occurs in KT recipients. Multimodal analgesia using combined analgesic measures has been recommended to enhance postoperative recovery. This retrospective study explored the additional efficacy of paracetamol nefopam infusions living-donor recipients who received a transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block. Materials Methods: Consecutive at our...
We aimed to evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in intestinal failure (IF) patients after different modes rehabilitation. HRQoL was assessed using the generic 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36, ver. 2) and visual analogue scale (VAS) 6 areas: diet, sleep, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, other symptoms. Twenty-two completed questionnaires, which 7 had received transplant (ITx), 9 were continuing home total parenteral nutrition (HPN), tapered off...
BACKGROUND The optimization of tacrolimus dosing during the early postoperative hospitalization period is essential to prevent rejection, minimize nephrotoxicity, and risk opportunistic infections. Patient pharmacokinetic variability poses challenges in dose adjustment. This study aimed evaluate using machine learning statistical methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective 749 kidney transplant recipients at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital between January 2015 December 2019. Data on...
Abstract Vascular access micro‐calcification is a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis ( HD ) patients but its influence on vascular patency still undetermined. Our study aimed to determine the impact of arterial AM iC) patients. One‐hundred fourteen receiving arteriovenous fistula AVF operation were included this study. During operation, we obtained partial specimen performed pathological examination by von Kossa stain identify iC. We compared primary...
The totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAPs) are indicated for patients undergoing chemotherapy, total parenteral nutrition and long-term antibiotic treatment. But, among their complications, the fracture migration of catheter a TIVAP via internal jugular vein represents very rare but potentially severe condition. A 50-year-old woman indentified with spontaneous right after adjuvant chemotherapy ovary cancer. She had been not evaluated managed heparin lock flush solution during three...
Abstract The pathogenic Listeria monocytogenes bacterium produces the flagellum as a locomotive organelle at or below 30°C outside host, but it halts flagellar expression 37°C inside human host to evade flagellum-induced immune response. GmaR is thermosensor protein that coordinates by binding master transcriptional repressor of genes (MogR) in temperature-responsive manner. To understand regulatory mechanism whereby exerts antirepression activity on expression, we performed structural and...
Endovenous treatment is increasingly supplanting open surgery for the of varicose veins. Among emerging endovenous techniques, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with a ClosureFast catheter popular in Korea. The objective this study was to evaluate and compare efficacy patient-reported outcomes RFA This retrospective prospectively registered database patients who underwent veins from 2012 2013 St. Mary's Hospital Seoul. Efficient catheters (Medtronic, San Jose, CA, USA) were used. techniques used...
Background: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has shown faster recovery and lower pain scores compared to Endovenous laser (EVLA) for treatment of varicose veins. However, a comparison 1,940-nm EVLA RFA not been reported. This study short-term outcomes using Methods: Between April 2018 June 2018, 43 patients (83 incompetent saphenous veins) were treated with 37 (64 RFA. Follow-up duplex was checked at 1 month 3 months. Results: Baseline characteristics showed no significant differences between...
Thyroid carcinoma in young women is rapidly increasing, and cosmesis plays an important role thyroid operations. Various endoscopic surgery approaches have been performed, their application has recently extended. We performed surgeries via a breast approach since 1999. Herein, we evaluate the safety of this identify outcomes for differentiated carcinoma.A total 452 consecutive patients with parathyroid disease underwent thyroidectomy at Uijeongbu St. Mary's Hospital between November 1999...
Spontaneous aneurysm in the axillary artery is extremely rare. The standard treatment for has been surgical repair, but endovascular management of select aneurysms using stent grafts become more prevalent with development endoluminal technology. We report case a 36-year old man spontaneous artery. He experienced tingling sensation and intermittent pain left upper extremity had no history trauma to axilla. performed [placement Viabahn graft (W.L. Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, AZ, USA)]...
Balloon-assisted maturation (BAM) is emerging as a salvage management for arteriovenous fistula failure (AVF MF). However, BAM relatively new, yet controversial technique AVF maturation. Therefore, we evaluated the effectiveness of MF.Between January 2012 and December 2014, 249 AVFs were created. The total MF rate was 24.8%. But, only 110 enrolled, including 74 brachiocephalic (BC) 36 radiocephalic (RC) AVFs. follow-up period 12 months. Among those, there 42 MFs (22 BC 20 RC AVFs) 68...
Introduction A radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the best choice for achieving vascular access (VA) hemodialysis, but this AVF has high rates of early failure due to juxta-anastomotic stenosis, making it impossible use dialysis. Low hemodynamic shear stress contributes pathophysiology VA secondary thrombosis, and re-occlusion after percutaneous intervention. Methods We used a computational fluid dynamics (CFDs) approach evaluate distribution minimize its effects under various...
