The purpose of this study is to compare changes in biochemical markers for the skeletal muscles, hepatic metabolism, and renal function based on extreme long-distance running. Among healthy amateur endurance athletes who participated a marathon, 100 km-, or 308 km ultramarathon, 15 with similar physical demographic characteristics were chosen be subjects study, upon completion each course. subjects’ blood was collected before after course identify function. After all courses, creatinine...
The objective of this study is to evaluate the degree symptom improvement and change electrophysiological ultrasonographic findings after sonographically guided local steroid injection using an in-plane ulnar approach in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Seventy-five cases 44 patients diagnosed with CTS were included evaluated at baseline 4 12 weeks injection. All received 40 mg triamcinolone mixed 1 mL 1% lidocaine into Ultrasound (US)-guided approach, out-plane US-guided blind For clinical...
Dysphagia is a common clinical condition characterized by difficulty in swallowing. It sub-classified into oropharyngeal dysphagia, which refers to problems the mouth and pharynx, esophageal body esophagogastric junction. can have significant negative impact one's physical health quality of life as its severity increases. Therefore, proper assessment management dysphagia are critical for improving swallowing function preventing complications. Thus guideline was developed provide...

The aim of this study was to compare the short-term effects and advantages ultrasound-guided caudal epidural steroid injections with fluoroscopy-guided for unilateral radicular pain in lower lumbar spine.A total 120 patients were enrolled randomly assigned either fluoroscopy or ultrasound group. Complication frequencies during procedures, treatment effects, functional improvement, adverse events compared after procedures.The verbal numerical rating scale Oswestry Disability Index improved 2...
Background: To compare the efficacy of high- and low-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) for patients with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) upper trapezius. Methods: Thirty (3 men, 27 women) were randomly assigned to receive either high-energy ESWT (0.210 mJ/mm2) or (0.068 mJ/mm2). Both groups received 1500 pulses once a week, 2 weeks. Outcome measurement was assessed by verbal numeric scale (VNS), neck disability index (NDI), range motion (ROM) (flexion, extension, rotation,...
Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence anterior pituitary dysfunction in moderate-to-severe chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. investigation a relationship between hormonal status and body mass index (BMI) TBI patients by observing changes BMI was conducted as well an assessment whether there difference functional outcome related patients.Methods: Forty-five 30 normal controls underwent series standard endocrine tests for hormone function. It...
Objective The aim of this study was to conduct a randomized, blinded, prospective outcome on the short-term benefits Kambin triangle vs. supraneural approach for treatment lumbar radicular pain. Design Subjects with pain (n = 100) were randomly assigned undergo transforaminal epidural steroid injection using either or approach. Primary outcomes measured verbal numeric scale and Oswestry Disability Index, results at 2 12 wks after procedure compared between groups. Secondary included patient...
The aim of this study was to compare the mid-term effects and benefits ultrasound (US)-guided fluoroscopy (FL)-guided medial branch blocks (MBBs) for chronic lower lumbar facet joint pain through relief, functional improvement, injection efficiency evaluation. Patients with who received US (n = 68) or FL-guided MBBs 78) were included in retrospective study. All procedures performed under FL guidance. Complication frequency, therapeutic effects, compared at 1, 3, 6 months after last...
Microneedles have emerged for transdermal monitoring of biomarkers, which are a miniaturized replica hypodermic needles with length-scales hundreds micrometers, goal to achieve time-sensitive clinical information routine point-of-care health monitoring. Transdermal biosensing via microneedles offers remarkable opportunities moving technologies from research laboratories real-field applications and enables development easy-to-use microdevices, minimally invasive, minimal-training features...
To evaluate the effectiveness of a squatting posture grading system established to screen for limited ankle dorsiflexion. The squat categorizes subjects' into three grades. Grade 1 is defined as being able maintain with heels on ground in full dorsiflexion without effort. 2 perform same position, but unable position more than 5 seconds or requiring trunk and leg muscle efforts position. 3 falling backwards immediately if attempted touch heels. Next, angles were directly measured knee flexed...
Recently, the wild-type and mutant forms of cytochrome P450 BM3 (CYP102A1) from <i>Bacillus megaterium</i> were found to oxidize various xenobiotic substrates, including pharmaceuticals, human enzymes. Simvastatin lovastatin, which are used treat hyperlipidemia hypercholesterolemia, oxidized by CYP3A4/5 produce several metabolites, 6′β-hydroxy (OH), 3″-OH, exomethylene products. In this report, we show that oxidation simvastatin lovastatin was catalyzed CYP102A1 a set its mutants, generated...
ABSTRACT Objectives The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy rate ultrasound (US) ‐guided intra‐articular (IA) injections in patients by posterior approach with osteoarthritis (OA) elbow. Methods Eighty physical examination and radiographic findings elbow OA were included. After US‐guided IA or palpation‐guided injection iohexol contrast into joint, fluoroscopic images obtained ascertain whether injected material had reached space. Results Of 40 performed US guidance, confirmed have...
We report two cases of subacute combined degeneration (SCD) caused by nitrous oxide (N2O) gas intoxication, which is rarely reported in Korea. Two patients recreationally inhaled N2O daily for several months. They presented with paresthesia limbs, voiding difficulty, and gait disturbance. The initial vitamin B12 levels were normal or decreased, but homocysteine the increased. Magnetic resonance imaging cervical spine showed T2-weighted hyperintensity bilateral dorsal columns spinal cord....
In this study, we investigated an efficient enzymatic strategy for producing potentially valuable phloretin metabolites from phlorizin, a glucoside of that is rich in apple pomace. Almond β-glucosidase efficiently removed phlorizin’s glucose moiety to produce phloretin. CYP102A1 engineered by site-directed mutagenesis, domain swapping, and random mutagenesis catalyzed the highly regioselective C-hydroxylation into 3-OH with high conversion yields. Under optimal hydroxylation conditions 15 g...
