Zinc deficiency in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and the use of zinc supplementation is still controversial. We measured hair levels 58 children AD 43 controls (age range 2–14 years). also investigated efficacy oral low by comparing eczema assessment severity index (EASI), transepidermal water loss (TEWL), visual analogue scales for pruritus sleep disturbance receiving (Group A) others not B). At baseline, mean level was significantly reduced (113.1g/g vs. 130.9g/g, p=0.012). After 8...

Background/Objectives: To evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of arthroscopic augmented partial repair (APR) with acellular dermal matrix versus superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) in massive rotator cuff tears. Methods: The study included a total 49 patients tears who underwent APR (26 patients) SCR (23 between March 2018 June 2021. Clinical scores, visual analog range motion were collected preoperatively postoperatively until last follow-up. Preoperative postoperative simple...

Plant has possessed diverse stress signals from outside and maintained its fitness. Out of such plant responses, it is well known that mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade plays important role in wounding pathogen attack most dicot plants. However, little understood about response for the economically monocot rice plant. In this study, therefore, involvement MAPK was investigated to understand signaling pathway rice. The OsMPK1 rapidly activated by within 10 min, also challenge...

Previously, root colonization by the rhizobacterium, Pseudomonas chlororaphis O6, was shown to induce expression of galactinol synthase conferring systemic resistance against a fungal pathogen in cucumber leaves. Here, Arabidopsis – Botrytis cinerea system is introduced better understand signal transduction and (or) raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFO) during O6-mediated induced (ISR). Among 10 genes, only AtGolS1 specifically upon infection with B. cinerea. primed O6 T-DNA insertion...

Abstract Background Mycobacteirum wolinskyi is a member of the Mycobacterium smegmatis group, which less frequently found in clinical settings than other nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) species. However, its significance has recently increased opportunistic infections. This case first report facial skin and soft tissue infection by M. complicating cosmetic procedures. Case presentation A 56-year-old Asian female patient with history receiving multiple procedures over preceding 2 years was...

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a newly emerging infectious disease, caused by novel species of Phlebovirus Bunyaviridae family, in China, South Korea, and Japan. SFTS primarily known as tick-borne human-to-human transmission also possible contact blood. Common clinical manifestations include fever, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia initial symptoms, multiple organ dysfunction failure manifest disease progression. Whereas mortality reported to be 12% 30% recent report...

A Case of the Inferior Mesenteric Artery Arising from Superior in a Korean Woman Anatomical variations inferior mesenteric artery are extremely uncommon, since is regularly diverged at level third lumbar vertebra.We found rare case which arose superior artery.The findings were made during routine dissection cadaver an 82-yr-old woman.This tenth report on this anomaly, second female and first Korean.The normally arising abdominal aorta sent as branch.The longitudinal anastomosis vessels...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results autologous bone marrow cell stimulation and allogenic chondrocyte implantation using 3-dimensional gel-type fibrin matrix in an animal model. Design: Eighteen rabbits were divided into 2 treatment groups. One group treated with a microfracture covering it (AutoBMS; n = 9), other chondrocytes mixed at cartilage defect (AlloCI; 9). control untreated side knee each object. Twelve weeks after treatment, evaluated International...

Since the first reported case of human brucellosis in 2002 South Korea, its incidence has been increasing nationally. However, bovine not present from 2005 to date on Jeju Island. Despite Island being considered a clean area for brucellosis, we experienced an outbreak between 2012 and 2013. Herein, report cases with after ingestion raw materials fetal calf at restaurant. Patients were identified by isolation Brucella abortus their blood joint tissue. Because all patients developed zoonosis...

Mycobacterium conceptionense is a species member of fortuitum complex, potential pathogen increasing clinical importance among opportunistic infections. This causes wide spectrum cutaneous and extracutaneous diseases. In this report, we describe three patients who underwent shoulder surgery with postoperative joint infection by M. conceptionense.

Plant mitogen-activated protein kinases represented by tobacco WIPK (wounding-induced kinase) and its orthologs in other species are unique their regulation at transcriptional level response to stress pathogen infection. We previously demonstrated that activation of is essential for induced activity, salicylic acid-induced kinase (SIPK) the constitutively active NtMEK2(DD) sufficient induce gene expression. Here, we report effect SIPK on expression mediated reactive oxygen (ROS). Using a...

Numerous studies have investigated factors associated with osteoarthritis (OA), but few their effects on psychological problems and health-related quality of life in older adults OA. We aimed to investigate OA influence Among 1394 participants aged ≥65 years, 952 442 were categorized into the non-OA groups, respectively. Comprehensive data demographic characteristics, medical conditions, life, blood test results, nutritional intake obtained. Univariate multivariate logistic regression...

We have applied primarily multiple locking compression miniplates in treating multifragmentary, comminuted patellar fracture combination with conventional fixation methods.Medical and radiologic data were retrospectively reviewed for the patients surgically fixated of AO/OTA 34-C3. The primary outcome was bone union at final follow-up, secondary outcomes functional postoperative complications associated procedure. For assessment, Lysholm score, Tegner scores, knee range motion compared.A...

Abstract Background Fungal infection secondary to a penetrating plant thorn injury in upper extremities is infrequently reported especially immunocompetent hosts. Alternaria dematicaceous hyphomycete, commonly found decay and pathogens, alternata has been regarded as the most frequent species among more than 400 s of its species. This case first report thorn-induced hand an host. Case presentation A 47-year-old male patient was admitted our institution with persistent pain swelling right...

Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign osteoblastic bone tumor typically involving the diaphysis or metaphysis in long tubular bones. OO phalanges of great toe has been rarely reported, and it often challenging to differentiate with subacute osteomyelitis, abscess, osteoblastoma. This case report describes an uncommon 13-year-old female patient subperiosteal proximal phalanx toe. The atypical location should be familiarized include appropriate differential diagnosis ensure accurate by radiologic...

Most of the fractures had been previously treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Although there are a number fixation methods, consensus on treatment options has not reached yet.We demonstrated reinforced technique tension band wiring its surgical outcomes in tibial tuberosity fracture 14-year-old male basketball player. For modified technique, wire was inserted between patellar tendon (insertion site tendon) passed distally through 2-mm-sized predrill cortical hole. Tightening...
