Macropinocytosis, an important nutrient-scavenging pathway in certain cancer cells, allows cells to compensate for intracellular amino acid deficiency under nutrient-poor conditions. Ferroptosis caused by cysteine depletion plays a pivotal role sorafenib responses during hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) therapy. However, it is not known whether macropinocytosis functions as alternative acquire sorafenib-treated HCC, and subsequently mitigates sorafenib-induced ferroptosis. This study aimed...

Background: As most of people in Korea are covered by National Health Insurance (NHI), the disease information collected NHI provides high availability for health policy. Nevertheless, validity codes data has been controversial till now. So we tried to evaluate them comparing claims with Korean Hospital Discharge In-depth Injury Survey (KNHDIIS) data. Methods: We compared patients sample (2009) KNHDIIS (2009). selected inpatient and sample. The weighted number from was 5,551,210 5,559,874....
The numbers of patients on dialysis and their life expectancies are increasing.

We investigated incidences various cancers Korea used national health insurance data to identify that should be screened clinics.We accessed Korean National Health Insurance Database excerpted using International Classification Disease codes for...
As a follow-up for the validity study of Community Health Surveys (CHSs), purpose this was to evaluate factors affecting accuracy CHSs by investigating subjects' characteristics. We used data from 11,217 participants (aged 19 years or older) who had participated in CHS, conducted local government 2008 and analyzed variables sensitivity specificity hospitalization outpatient visit. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that, related with visit questions were gender, age, marital...

의학분야의 전체 논문을 대상으로 연도별 논문 발표 현황을 살펴봄으로서 국내의학자가 국내뿐 아니라 해외에 발표한 논문의 양적 실태를 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 분석자료는 1960년부터 2008년까지 국내학자가 국내와 해외 의학학술지에 367,982건으로 국내발표논문 314,559건과 해외발표논문 53,423건을 모든 자료는 학문분야별, 등재지별 총 발표논문 수와 해외발표 분율을 연도별로 비교하였다. 연구결과 분율은 지속적으로 증가하였다. 수는 1999년까지 증가하다 이 후 2004년까지 감소하였으나 수가 감소하는 시기에 급증하는 현상을 보였다. 수에 있어 SCI등재논문 증가하였으며 국내 KCI등재논문 수도 2000년 급격히 증가하였고 2006년 기타 학술지 수보다 많아졌다. 이러한 현상은 의학분야별로 양적, 시기적 차이를 보였지만 추세는 유사하였다. 중심의 업적평가가 발표논문의 증가는 가져왔으나 SCI 성과평가는 수를 감소시키는 중요한 요인 중의 하나로 작용하였다. 수의 증감이...
