Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein K (gK) and the UL20 protein (UL20p) are strictly required for virus-induced cell fusion, mutations within either gK or gene cause extensive fusion (syncytium formation). We have shown that forms a functional complex with UL20p, which is all UL20p-associated functions in HSV-1 life cycle. Recently, we showed amino-terminal 82 amino acids (aa) of (gKa) were expression syncytial phenotype mutant gBDelta28 lacking carboxyl-terminal 28 gB (V. N....
(1) Background: The effect of Juingong meditation on brainwave patterns has not been explored yet. This study aimed to the changes in produced by meditation, through electroencephalography (EEG) measurements. (2) Methods: included 23 participants from Hanmaum Seon Center Korea. EEG measurements were performed using InteraXon's four-channel measurement equipment, Muse. It measures temporoparietal and anterior frontal lobes. Brainwaves measured two different states: when was practiced...
Objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of novel hemostatic agent, Hemofence ® (BMI Korea Co. Ltd., Jeju Korea, thrombin cross-linked sodium hyaluronate gel matrix) compared to established Floseal Hemostatic Matrix (Baxter, thrombin-gelatin in achieving hemostasis for spinal surgeries, with secondary objectives assess additional efficacy and safety.Methods: This clinical trial was a multicenter, randomized, subject-blinded, active-controlled, parallelgroup, phase 3...
Background In a previous study, regional delivery of manganese (Mn)ions within the brain revealed that metal accumulates in basal ganglia, where it induces degeneration globus pallidus. Degeneration ganglia impairs motor ability by compromising an important neural circuit involved regulation control. Therefore, much research has been devoted to identifying sensitive and non-invasive imaging marker evaluate functional correlates Mn-related dysfunction. Methods We performed first-ever...
To assess the clinical and radiological factors as predictors for successful outcomes in lumbar disc herniation (LDH) treatment.Two groups of patients with single level LDH (L4-5) requiring treatment were retrospectively studied. The surgery group (SG) included 34 patients, 30 who initially refused nerve blocks (NG). A visual analogue scale (VAS) leg back pain motor deficit evaluated before procedures, repeated at 1, 6, 12 months. Radiological including length, area, canal length-occupying...
Ligamentum flavum hypertrophy (LFH) is a known contributor to lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS). However, the clinical significance and quantitative role of LFH compared other components, such as disc bulging facet hypertrophy, have not yet been examined. We investigated correlation between radiological factors, symptoms, outcomes in patients with LSCS. In total, 163 diagnosed single-level (L4–L5) were included. The divided into 2 groups according claudication severity: >100 m for mild...
Abstract Background In this study, we aimed to compare the choroidal thickness between a group of Korean patients with inactive thyroid eye disease (TED) and control analyze variables affecting thickness. Methods Patients diagnosed TED without who underwent optical coherence tomography axial length measurements were included classified into group. Choroidal was measured using images acquired in enhanced depth imaging (EDI) mode by cirrus HD-OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc., Dublin, CA, UAS) at...
<h3>Purpose</h3> To compare the expression profile of aquaporins (AQPs), a family membrane proteins that function as selective pores in epithelium lacrimal sac patients with primary or functional nasolacrimal duct obstruction. <h3>Methods</h3> Forty sacs were obtained from 20 obstruction (group 1) and 2) during endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy. Western blot immunohistochemical analyses performed to determine presence distribution AQPs subepithelial glands ducts. <h3>Results</h3>...
Here, we report the draft genome sequences of Edwardsiella ictaluri strains LADL11-100 and LADL11-194, two isolates from natural outbreaks edwardsiellosis in zebrafish Danio rerio, as well plasmids carried by strain E. ictaluri.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics blowout fractures caused by baseball trauma. authors reviewed 337 cases fracture surgeries and included 330 eyes patients who underwent reconstruction between January 2017 December 2020, in Department Ophthalmology at Korea university Hospital.Medical records including patient demography, trauma etiology, accompanied ocular disease, preoperative computed tomography images were evaluated. Patients categorized into 2 groups: a...
Abstract The authors report a single case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma arising in the lacrimal sac. Diffuse is third most common primary ocular adnexal lymphoma, which malignant disease adults. A patient came to our clinic with epiphora and growing mass Enhanced computed tomography imaging suggested presence tumor surgical excision biopsy were performed. final diagnosis was reached by immunohistological immunochemical staining. Two months after surgery, relapse occurred sac underwent 6...
Multifocal inflammatory leukoencephalopathy (MIL) is a rare syndrome that can occur in patients with colon cancer after chemotherapy 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and levamisole. Histologic diagnosis by brain biopsy most effective, but there be high surgical risks technical limitations. Therefore, we introduce noninvasive diagnostic technique using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for suspected to have MIL. A 45-year-old woman had been treated 12 weeks levamisole 5-FU adenocarcinoma of the cecum, when...
This study: 1) identifies differences in consumers' perceived similarity of extended products to their parent product terms brand attributes, 2) the influence on consumer's attitude toward and purchase intention (i.e., extension effect), 3) examines moderating effect Brand Relationship Quality (BRQ) effects. A survey questionnaire was distributed a convenience sample individuals aged 20-39. total 576 valid responses were used for final analysis. The results showed that: consumers more when...
To assess the long-term effectiveness of orbital septal flap to lengthen levator muscle in management moderate and severe upper eyelid retraction.This study reports 46 eyes 43 consecutive patients with or retraction who were recommended for surgery. The period was between October 2016 2019. All cases evaluated position before at 3, 6, 12 months after operation. Successful outcome defined as "perfect," "acceptable," "failure".The average age 33.3 years (range, 16-59 years). height 5.28 ± 0.77...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution blowout fracture sites among age groups and compare clinical factors that can affect site. authors reviewed 330 cases surgeries included 226 eyes patients aged between 20 29 years 50 59 who underwent reconstruction January 2017 December 2020, in Department Ophthalmology at Korea University Hospital.Medical records including patient demography, trauma etiology, preoperative computed tomography image were evaluated. Ethmoidal cell...
Hypothermia performed in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) reduces cerebral metabolism and blood flow, subsequently decreasing intracranial pressure (ICP). There have been many disagreements about the effectiveness of prophylactic hypothermia its clinical application. Until now, has used without standardized treatment guidelines by each medical provider's personal judgment. Recently, a large-scale randomized controlled trial regarding was conducted, it concluded that early use...
Abstract Bell palsy is the most common lesion affecting facial nerve. Aberrant nerve regeneration following may cause synkinesis and ptosis. The authors present a 65-year-old male who suffered from left peripheral in 2017. During recovery period, he had moderate ptosis primary gaze, also noted upper eyelid closure when tried to blow something or puff his cheeks. Neurologic examination was normal except for synkinetic movements as described above. Surgery planned with an attempt resect part...
