Objectives: Surgical procedures for chronic ear disease can be grossly divided into two tympanoplasty procedures: canal wall–up and wall–down (CWD) mastoidectomies. The choice depends on the surgeon’s preference. Epitympanoplasty with mastoid obliteration (EMO) has shown postoperative results similar to those of CWD mastoidectomy long-term follow-up. In this study, we compared outcomes EMO in preoperatively sclerotic cavities cholesteatoma, otitis media poor eustachian tube function, or...

Background Methotrexate (MTX) is a very effective treatment for chronic inflammatory diseases that induces apoptosis in nasal polyps (NPs). However, the precise apoptotic pathway NPs remains unclear. The aim of this study was to identify signaling pathways activated by MTX NPs. Methods NP tissues were organ cultured using an air–liquid interface method. Cultures maintained presence or absence (10 100 μM) 24 hours. To investigate NPs, we performed reverse transcription–polymerase chain...

Background The transsphenoidal approach (TSA) is the procedure of choice for vast majority pituitary neoplasms. Sinusitis considered a contraindication to TSA because possible transcranial spread infection.

Purpose: Epidermal growth factor (EGF) has been found to be associated with the development and repair mechanisms of several renal diseases. In this study, we hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in EGF or its receptor genes might have an association end-stage disease (ESRD) acute allograft rejection (AR) a Korean population.Methods: Three-hundred forty seven recipients first transplants for ESRD, including 63 AR patients along 289 healthy adults were included study.
