The efficacy of bisphosphonates for osteoporotic fracture has been consistently reported in recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) enrolling hundreds patients. objective this study was to update knowledge on the available prevention vertebral and non-vertebral fractures.An approach "using systematic reviews" PubMed Cochrane Library taken. Twenty-four RCTs investigating effects were included final analysis. A pairwise meta-analysis conducted with a random model. Subgroup analysis...
ABSTRACT Diabetes mellitus is an established risk factor associated with bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). Sustained activation Nod-like receptor (NLR) family, pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome contributes to persistent inflammation and impaired cutaneous wound healing in diabetic mice human. We have recently demonstrated a compelling linkage between M1 macrophages BRONJ conditions both murine human diseases. The aim this study was determine...
During the 2015-2016 Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic, ZIKV-associated neurological diseases were reported in adults, including microcephaly, Guillain-Barre syndrome, myelitis, meningoencephalitis, and fatal encephalitis. However, mechanisms underlying neuropathogenesis of ZIKV infection are not yet fully understood. In this study, we used an adult mouse model (Ifnar1-/-) to investigate neuroinflammation neuropathogenesis. induced expression proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6,...
To evaluate the role of hepatic resection in patients with objective responses after combined transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and radiotherapy (RT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) macroscopic vascular invasion (MVI). We retrospectively reviewed treated TACE RT HCC MVI between 2010 2015. Some underwent or liver transplantation; to investigate impact surgery, who did not undergo surgery were selected as control group. Survival outcomes compared using a propensity score-based...
Replacement therapy is the most common treatment for reduction of bleeding and control episodic in individuals with hemophilia. Despite proven effectiveness factor replacement therapy, repeated intravenous administration a heavy burden to
Summary Background: It is a common practice to perform inhalational induction with sevoflurane followed by intravenous cannulation in children. However, there little information regarding the time at which can be attempted safely after induction. Aim: To determine optimal for safe children induced sevoflurane. Methods: Pediatric patients aged 4–10 years receiving elective cases were recruited. General anesthesia was and oxygen via mask, then attempted. The determined use of up‐and‐down...
Purpose We performed this retrospective study to investigate the outcomes of patients with hemangioma cavernous sinus after fractionated radiotherapy. Materials and Methods analyzed 10 who were treated conventional radiotherapy between January 2000 December 2016. The median patient age was 54 years (range, 31–65 years), 8 (80.0%) female. mean volume 34.1 cm3 6.8–83.2 cm3), radiation administered a total dose 50–54 Gy daily 2 Gy. Results follow-up period 6.8 2.2–8.8 years). At last follow-up,...
To validate the 8th edition of American Joint Committee on Cancer/Union for International Cancer Control (AJCC/UICC) TNM staging system human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) and investigate whether a modified classification better reflects prognosis.Medical records patients diagnosed with non-metastatic HPV-related OPSCC between 2010 2016 at single institution were retrospectively reviewed. HPV status was determined by immunohistochemical analysis...
Background: Muscle flaps used in reconstructive surgery are known to lose volume over time because of denervation and disuse atrophy. However, there is currently no agreement on a quantitative approach evaluating changes. Here, long-term serial measurement muscle transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap breast reconstruction has been conducted using the Eclipse treatment planning system. Methods: This was retrospective review medical records patients who underwent unilateral...
Biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), including isoleucine, leucine and valine, is required for survival virulence a bacterial pathogen such as Streptococcus pneumoniae. IlvC, ketol-acid reductoisomerase (E.C. 1.1.1.86) with NADP(H) Mg2+ cofactors from the pathogenic pneumoniae (SpIlvC), catalyzes second step in BCAA biosynthetic pathway. To elucidate structural basis IlvC-mediated reaction, we determined crystal structure SpIlvC at 1.69 Å resolution. The contains an asymmetric...
Despite the controversy surrounding electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) safety, global consumption has been rapidly increasing. We investigated relationship between e-cigarette use and mental health conditions in adults of various ages.We conducted a secondary data analysis aged 19 to 80 who participated first year 7th Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (2016). The total number participants was 5469, including 3398 non-smokers, 1700 smokers had never used e-cigarettes, 371...
Abstract Background Transfer into the operating room, onto table and mask induction of anaesthesia are major challenges faced by children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In a pilot study, parents observed that perioperative transfer becomes unsafe difficult when ASD uncooperative. Method A CHILD-KIND CONCEPT mobility system comprising multi-positioning seat configurations restraining module was developed inputs from multi-disciplinary healthcare professionals ASD. To appeal to...
Abstract Background and Aim This study aimed to investigate the association between liver volume change hepatic decompensation compare risk of in patients with cirrhosis (LC) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who underwent stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Methods A retrospective review SBRT‐treated HCC compensated LC without was conducted. Liver measured using auto‐segmentation software on dynamic computed tomography scans. The event defined as first occurrence refractory ascites,...
Dear Sir, The advancement in genomic technologies has transformed paediatric clinical practice diagnosing genetic disorders. We present a case of 3-year-old girl with neurodevelopmental disorder an unusual cause peripheral cyanosis. By using exome sequencing, rare was diagnosed, and this ended her prolonged diagnostic odyssey. Our patient, born to non-consanguineous parents, history global developmental delay, microcephaly, epilepsy dystonia baseline axial hypertonia upper limb extensor...
Objectives : The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between restricted, repetitive behaviors and interests (RRBI) autistic symptoms in Korean high functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children examine structure RRBI. Methods Participants included 147 ASD subjects 181 unaffected siblings. were divided into two groups based on presence domain scores version Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (K-ADI-R), Asperger Syndrome Scale total translated Social...

562 Background: To evaluate the role of hepatic resection in patients with objective responses after combined transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and radiotherapy (RT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) macroscopic vascular invasion (MVI). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed treated TACE RT as a first-line treatment HCC MVI between 2010 2015. Some underwent or liver transplantation. Surgical resectability was determined by hepatobiliary transplant surgeons multidisciplinary team cancer....
