Abstract Green electronics made from degradable materials have recently attracted special attention, because electronic waste (e‐waste) represents a serious threat to the environment and human health worldwide. Among novel used for sustainable technologies, nanocelluloses containing at least 1D in nanoscale range (1–100 nm) been widely exploited various industrial applications owing their inherent properties, such as biodegradability, mechanical strength, thermal stability, optical...
Abstract Clean‐water harvesting through solar interfacial evaporation technology has recently emerged as a strategy for resolving global water scarcity. In this study, rapid carbon‐dioxide‐laser‐induced carbonization and facile ice‐templating is employed to construct cellulose‐based evaporator bearing hybrid multi‐layer micro‐/nano‐architecture (i.e., laser‐induced carbon (LC) nanostructure cellulose aerogel (CA) nano/microstructure). The LC exhibits light‐absorbing/photothermal nanoporous...
With the increasing importance of environmental protection, high-performance biopolymer films have received considerable attention as effective alternatives to petroleum-based polymer films. In this study, we developed hydrophobic regenerated cellulose (RC) with good barrier properties through a simple gas–solid reaction via chemical vapor deposition alkyltrichlorosilane. RC were employed construct biodegradable, free-standing substrate matrix, and methyltrichlorosilane (MTS) was used...
Background/Objectives: Medical therapies that apply biodegradable materials, such as polydioxanone, are widely used to treat various disorders. Thread-embedding acupuncture (TEA) is a unique form of exerts long-lasting therapeutic effects by inserting absorbable threads at specific points, and diseases. However, there currently lack research regarding the safety TEA. This prospective observational trial aims evaluate TEA collecting analyzing data related adverse events in patients receiving...
Assessing shoulder joint range of motion (ROM) is essential for diagnosing musculoskeletal disorders and optimizing treatments. This single-center pilot study evaluated the reliability validity iBalance, a single-camera markerless capture system, measuring ROM. Forty participants (30 healthy individuals 10 patients with adhesive capsulitis) underwent measurements seven movements. Each movement was assessed three times by two raters using both iBalance goniometer, repeated after 1 week. The...
Evidence-based treatment for Bell's palsy includes the administration of steroids within 3 days symptom onset. Additionally, a few studies have suggested importance combining early acupuncture in acute phase with steroids. This study aimed to observe impact using real-world health insurance data Korea. retrospective extracted from 45,986 adult patients who received between 2015 and 2017 follow-up period at least years until 2020 Korea National Health Insurance database. They were divided...
Fire blight is one of the most devastating plant diseases, causing severe social and economic problems. Herein, we report a novel method based on label-free surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) combined with an Erwinia amylovora-specific bacteriophage that allows detecting efficiently fire bacteria E. amylovora for first time. To achieve highest SERS signals amylovora, synthesized compared plasmonic nanoparticles (PNPs) different sizes, i.e., bimetallic gold core–silver shell (Au@AgNPs)...
Background/Objectives: Thread-embedding acupuncture (TEA) is widely used for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes; however, its safety profile, particularly in real-world clinical settings, remains under-researched. This study aimed to evaluate the profile of TEA through a prospective, observational analysis confirm feasibility design future studies involving larger patient populations. Methods: A multicenter, prospective was conducted 100 patients who received TEA. Adverse events (AEs) were...
Background and Objectives: In this study, we attempted to determine the effects of acupuncture on cardiac remodeling atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence rates in patients with AF after electrical cardioversion (EC). Materials Methods: We randomly assigned 44 persistent an group or a sham group. An electroacupuncture treatment session was administered once weekly for 12 weeks at four points (left PC5, PC6, ST36, ST37). Results: Among recruited participants, 16 (treatment group) 15 (control...
Abstract Background: There is no sufficient evidence on the effectiveness of acupuncture for neuropathic pain. This protocol describes a study that aims to evaluate and safety electroacupuncture combined with conventional medicine patients intractable pain, when compared alone. Methods/design: prospective, open-labeled, randomized, cross-over clinical trial. A total 40 pain who had numeric rating scale (NRS) score over 4 despite receiving treatment more than 3 months will be enrolled....
Obesity is associated with chronic low back pain (CLBP), but the association between fat distribution and CLBP unclear. This cross-sectional study evaluated relationship using Korean National Health Nutrition Examination Survey data. A total of 10,606 adults (average age: 45.4, female: 57.1%) were included. We estimated regional distribution, waist circumference, body proportion, compared values in people without CLBP, stratified estimates by sex obesity status a multivariable linear model....
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety electroacupuncture in treatment acute decompensated heart failure compared with sham electroacupuncture. This protocol for a randomized, controlled, patient- assessor-blinded, parallel group, single center clinical that can overcome limitations previous trials examining acupuncture failure. Forty-four patients admitted cardiology ward will be randomly assigned into group (n = 22) or control 22). Participants receive 5 days...
(1) Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected healthcare utilization rates on a global scale. This study aimed to analyze whether the characteristics of first-visit patients with peripheral facial palsy visiting Korean Medicine hospital and observe changes in them. (2) Methods: analyzed electronic medical records 2,310 who visited Facial Palsy Center, Hospital, Kyung Hee University Medical Center from January 1, 2019 December 31, 2021 terms demographic characteristics, disease phase,...
Porous carbon materials are suitable as highly efficient adsorbents for the treatment of organic pollutants in wastewater. In this study, we developed multiscale porous and heteroatom (O, N)-doped activated aerogels (CAs) based on mesoporous zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanocrystals wood using 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) oxidation, situ synthesis, carbonization/activation. The surface carboxyl groups a TEMPO-oxidized (TW) can provide considerably large nucleation...
Evidence regarding Korean medicine treatment (KMT) for neuropathic pain is lacking. We aimed to identify the effects of integrative KMT in patients with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). retrospectively analyzed electronic medical records PHN who received at Kyung Hee University Medicine Hospital between August 2021 and July 2022. evaluated KMT—comprising acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, moxibustion—on intensity using numerical rating scale (NRS), Short-Form McGill Pain...
This study aimed to analyze whether the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic affected characteristics of first-visit patients with peripheral facial palsy (PFP) and observe changes in their characteristics.This analyzed electronic medical records 2,310 PFP who visited Facial Palsy Center, Kyung Hee University Korean Medicine Hospital from January 1, 2019, December 31, 2021, terms demographic characteristics, phase, residence locations, hospital visit route, patient care.During...
