In patients with coronary artery disease, some guidelines recommend initial statin treatment high-intensity statins to achieve at least a 50% reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). An alternative approach is begin moderate-intensity and titrate specific LDL-C goal. These alternatives have not been compared head-to-head clinical trial involving known disease.To assess whether treat-to-target strategy noninferior of for long-term outcomes disease.A randomized, multicenter,...
To compare the long term efficacy and safety of rosuvastatin with atorvastatin treatment in adults coronary artery disease.Randomised, open label, multicentre trial.12 hospitals South Korea, September 2016 to November 2019.4400 (age ≥19 years) disease.Participants were assigned receive either (n=2204) or (n=2196) using 2×2 factorial randomisation.The primary outcome was a three year composite all cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, any revascularisation. Secondary outcomes endpoints:...
Abstract LILRB1 is an inhibitory receptor found on various immune cells, including T B NK and monocytes. It interacts with multiple ligands, HLA class I molecules, the highest affinity for HLA-G, induces signals that allow cancer cells to escape immunosurveillance, impeding clearance from such as macrophages. This effect in tumor microenvironment may lead disease progression, metastasis, poor clinical outcomes. For this reason, blockade of LILRB1/HLA-G interaction could be a novel...
<title>Abstract</title> Background Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is characterized by irreversible localized dilatation of the abdominal aorta. It poses a significant health risk. As AAA size tends to increase over time, there heightened risk rupture, resulting in substantially high mortality rate. Although screening programs targeting specific demographics are available, room for improvement terms inclusivity and cost-effectiveness. This study aimed develop predictive model occurrence...
Background This phase 3 study evaluated the efficacy and safety of 6-month treatment with romosozumab in Korean postmenopausal women osteoporosis. Methods Sixty-seven osteoporosis (bone mineral density [BMD] T-scores ≤−2.5 at lumbar spine, total hip, or femoral neck) were randomized (1:1) to receive monthly subcutaneous injections (210 mg; n=34) placebo (n=33) for 6 months. Results At month 6, difference least square (LS) mean percent change from baseline spine BMD (primary endpoint) between...
Background Population aging is a major health concern in Asian countries and it has affected the age distribution of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). As consequence, need for kidney transplantation geriatric population increased, but shortage donors an obstacle transplantation. The aim this study was to evaluate risk factors graft failure death Methods Kidney transplantations performed tertiary hospital South Korea from May 1995 December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed....
Background The American Gastroenterological Association and European for the Study of Liver recommend that hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)–negative core antibody (anti-HBc)–positive patients who receive immunosuppression should be monitored virus (HBV) infection regardless (anti-HBs) status. However, anti-HBs may provide protection against infection. To investigate whether presence in addition to anti-HBc confers protection, we classified HBsAg(−) kidney transplantation (KT) into 4...
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a method of providing enteral nutrition using endoscopy. The PEG techniques differ according to the insertion method, and include pull type, push introducer type. aim this study was compare clinical outcomes associated with pull-type introducer-type techniques, which included adverse events, at our tertiary care center in Korea.We retrospectively reviewed 141 cases that had undergone from January 2009 June 2012. indications for acute chronic...
Excessive oral salt intake can induce hypertension. According to previous studies, the prevalence of hypertension is higher in Myanmar than Korea. We postulated that adults had taste thresholds and eat much saltier food. This study aimed compare usage behaviour scores between Korea.This cross-sectional enrolled patients who visited volunteer medical service clinics at Ansung Korea Hlegu Bago August 2014. measured vital signs, heights, weights each patient evaluated detection thresholds,...
This study was performed to demonstrate the ultrasound, biomicroscopic and dimensional changes of angle structure after laser iridotomy (LI) primary trabeculectomy (PT) in angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). Angle-opening distance at a point 500 m from scleral spur (AOD500), trabecular-iris (theta1), trabecular ciliary process (TCPD), process-iris (CPI), iris thickness (ID1, ID3), length iris-lens contact (ILCD) anterior chamber depth (ACD) were assessed before each procedure. Thirteen patients...
Rituximab is widely used in kidney transplantation. However, it not clear whether the conventional doses of maintenance immunosuppressant rituximab-treated transplantation (KT) are appropriate. In our previous study, decreasing mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) dose due to infection did increase incidence rejection or graft failure. Based on these experiences, we developed a new protocol with lower MMF and studied its clinical outcomes KT.We enrolled all patients who underwent ABO-incompatible...
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a critical disease. Most studies of AAA consider reoperation rate, complications, or mortality, but do not patient's mental state. However, there possibility interaction between and depression in disease development prognosis. We investigated the incidence risk ratio patients with using nationwide data.We selected subjects from National Health Insurance System database who were diagnosed 2009 2015 survived at least 1 year after diagnosis surgery (n =...
낙동강 상류에 위치한 안동, 임하 댐 하류 하천에서 두 댐에 의한 충적하천의 변화와 식생이입 현상을 정성적, 정량적으로 조사, 분석하였다. 하천형태 및 하상재료 분석 결과, 하류는 전반적으로 저하되었고 일부 구간은 최대 3m 이상 세굴 되었다. 하상재료도 임하댐 건설 전 평균 1.5mm에서 후 2.5mm로 조립화되었다. 건설로 인한 하상소류력의 감소는 사주에 식생 활착을 촉진시켰으며, 그 결과 사주의 식생이입률은 1971년 자연 상태에서 8% 수준에서 안동댐 1988년에 25%로 증가하였다. 임하댐이 완공된 1992년 이후 사주 상 식생이입은 가속화되어 겨우 3년이 지난 1995년에 43%가 되고, 10년이 2005년에는 74%까지 세부조사구간 중 하나인 윗절에서 항공사진에 식생천이 분석한 모래와 자갈이 노출된 '맨' 사주에서 시작하여 큰개여뀌, 달뿌리풀, 버드나무류 유식물 등 개척 단계를 지나, 달뿌리풀은 유지되고 버드나무 관목이 등장하고 나중에는 선버들이나 왕버들 같은...
In order to evaluate the morphologic types of appositional angle-closure glaucoma, biometric measurements were made in glaucoma patients using Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). Twenty-six with primary and 21 cataract as a control group examined. The glaucomatous eyes classified type B which angle closure started at bottom S occurred vicinity Schwalbe's line. trabecular-ciliary process distance (TCPD, B; 873.20+/-86.77 microm, S; 832.52+/-82.96 control; 1233.50+/-73.01 p = 0.000) opening...
The present observational study aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of vildagliptin with metformin in Korean patients type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Data were pooled from postmarketing survey (PMS), vildagliptin/metformin fixed drug combination (DC) PMS, and a retrospective (fixed DC or free DC). endpoint was proportion who achieved glycemic target (HbA1c) ≤7.0% at 24 weeks. In total, 4303 included analysis; these, 2087 eligible. mean patient age 56.99 ± 11.25 years. Overall,...
Basiliximab is used alongside tacrolimus-based immunosuppression for routine induction therapy, even well-matched living-donor renal transplant recipients. Because tacrolimus a different drug from cyclosporine, this study examined the utility of without basiliximab recipients.This prospective evaluated 36 patients who underwent 1 to 3 human leukocyte antigens mismatched transplants therapy between April 2012 and March 2015 (group 1). All were ABO compatible T-flow negative followed until...
Abstract Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and dementia have similar epidemiological profiles common pathogenic mechanisms. However, there been few studies on the link between these two diseases. For this study, information from 2009 to 2015 was extracted Korean National Health Insurance system database. A total of 15,251 participants with a new diagnosis AAA included. Propensity score matching by age sex patients in whom not diagnosed used select control group 45,753 participants. The primary...
