BACKGROUND The Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis (LRINEC) score has been verified as a useful diagnostic tool detecting necrotizing fasciitis (NF). Its application, however, is mainly NF types I and II. practical relevance of the LRINEC Vibro vulnificus–related skin soft tissue infection (SSTI) was hardly ever investigated. aim this study to assess applicability scoring system identify NF-predicting factors in patients with V. vulnificus–caused SSTI. METHODS A retrospective...
Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles, balancing synthesis and degradation in response to increases mitochondrial turnover (i.e., biogenesis, fusion, fission, mitophagy) function. The aim of this study was investigate the role polyphenols regulation functions dynamics C2C12 myotubes their molecular mechanisms. Our results indicate that gallic acid rutin most potential polyphenol compounds 15 phenolic acids 5 flavonoids. Gallic were associated with a significantly greater DNA (cytochrome...
Vibrio vulnificus infection is uncommon but potentially life-threatening. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes and prognostic factors for patients with V. infections admitted an intensive care unit.Retrospective study.Multidisciplinary unit in a 2300-bed teaching hospital.Eighty-five adult (≥ 18 yrs) who required were enrolled reviewed during 10-yr period.None.Thirty-four the 85 died, giving mortality rate 40%. mean Acute Physiology Chronic Health Evaluation II score on...
To date, no study associated the genetic polymorphisms of high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) with development uterine cervical cancer. We therefore conducted this to investigate associations HMGB1 single-nucleotide (SNPs) carcinogenesis and clinicopathological characteristics cancer patients. Five hundred two women, including 112 invasive cancer, 85 precancerous lesions cervix, 305 normal controls, were consecutively enrolled into study. Analysis SNPs was done by real-time polymerase...
Urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) is one of the major malignancies genitourinary tract, and it induced by carcinogenic epidemiological risk factors. H19 most crucial long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) involved in various types bladder cancer. In this study, we examined single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to investigate UCC susceptibility clinicopathological characteristics. Using real-time polymerase chain reaction, analyzed five SNPs 431 patients controls without The results showed that with...

Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is associated with cancer and can be prevented through vaccination. Few studies from Taiwan have reported on HPV among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected subjects. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence men who sex (MSM) without HIV in Taiwan, explore behavioral risk factors thereof. We conducted a cross-sectional during 2013 2016 collect data MSM aged 20 years or older. used questionnaire face-to-face interview,...

Abstract Background: Helicobacter pylori are associated with chronic antral gastritis that is related to duodenal ulcer, gastric and probably adenocarcinoma. Infection of H. during childhood considered an important risk factor for carcinoma in adult life. Materials Methods: To examine the epidemiologic characteristics infection among schoolchildren central Taiwan, a community‐based survey was carried out using stratified sampling 10 elementary schools three junior high including students...
Introduction: Vibrio vulnificus infection, an uncommon but life-threatening illness, manifests as two main types, primary septicemia and wound infections. Little information regarding the seasonality of V. infections in tropical areas prognostic factors is available. Methodology: This retrospective study was conducted to include 159 vulnificus-infected admissions at our institution southern Taiwan, 63 with (Group 1) 96 2), from 1999 2008, for analysis. Results: The case-fatality rate 24%....
Obesity is defined as a condition of excessive fat tissue accumulation. It was the major factor most closely associated with lifestyle-related diseases. In present study, we investigated effect astaxanthin on inhibition lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. adipocytes were treated 0–25 µg/mL for 0–48 h. The result indicated that significantly decreased oil Red O stained material (OROSM), intracellular triglyceride accumulation, and glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity (p...
