Clinical evidence for the benefits of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) is lacking in advanced liver disease. We evaluated potential long-term oral BCAA supplementation patients with disease.Liver cirrhosis Child-Pugh (CP) scores from 8 to 10 were prospectively recruited 13 medical centers. Patients supplemented 12.45 g daily granules over 6 months, and consuming a regular diet assigned control groups, respectively. The effects using model end-stage disease (MELD) score, CP serum albumin,...
Objective. Although endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) with limited sphincterotomy (ES) showed excellent outcomes for treatment of bile duct stones, hemorrhage and recurrence stones are problematic complications. Recent studies suggest that EPLBD alone is safe effective removal stones. This study aimed to determine the therapeutic safety EPLBD, compared ES, Material methods. Eighty-three patients above 45 years age >1 cm in diameter were randomized ES groups common from...
Abstract Cancer senescence induced by conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy, characterized limited proliferation, drug resistance, a senescence-associated secretory phenotype, is increasingly recognized as contributor to cancer relapse the development of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. However, relationship between anti-tumor immunity remains poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrate that senescent cells upregulate PD-L1 expression enhancing its transcription...
Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is one of the rare causes small bowel obstruction. It develops following a marked decrease in angle between SMA and abdominal aorta due to weight loss, anatomical anomalies, or surgeries. Nutcracker left renal vein may also occur aortomesenteric angle. Though nutcracker share same pathogenesis, concurrent development has rarely been reported. Herein, we report 23-year-old healthy male diagnosed with severe reduction. The patient visited our...
Background/Aims Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin for intractable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may have survival benefits. We aimed to determine the efficacy safety of HAIC HCC as first-line therapy. Methods A total 54 patients who received only (750 mg/m2 on days 1-4) (25 from Jan. 2009 Dec. 2011 were selected. According Child-Pugh class, overall (OS), progression-free (PFS), adverse events after investigated retrospectively. Results...
Variceal bleeding and hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) are serious life-threatening complications of advanced liver disease. Terlipressin is widely used to manage both acute variceal HRS due its potency long duration action. The most severe (though rare) adverse event ischemia. present report describes the case a patient with gangrene osteomyelitis secondary terlipressin therapy. A 71-year-old male alcoholic cirrhosis (Child-Pugh B) chronic hepatitis C was admitted drowsy mental status. had...
Background/Aims The eradication rates of Helicobacter pylori infection have been reported to decreased over the years due antibiotics resistance. aim this study is investigate trend first-line triple therapy for H. past 13 year period, and evaluate factors affecting in Daegu Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea. Methods A total 2,982 patients with who were treated either 1 week or 2 weeks (proton pump inhibitor [PPI], amoxicillin, clarithromycin) from January 1999 through December 2011 included study....
Systemic complications related to acute pancreatitis include respiratory distress syndrome, multiple organ dysfunction disseminated intravascular coagulation, hypocalcemia, hyperglycemia, and insulin dependent diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. In practice, the development of ketoacidosis induced by is rare generally associated with hypertriglyceridemia. However, herein we report a case 34-year-old female without hypertriglyceridemia, who was diagnosed complicated The patient admitted...
The World Health Organization classifies lupus nephritis as class I to V or VI. However, a few cases of minimal change glomerulopathy have been reported in association with systemic erythematosus (SLE). Mycophenolate mofetil has shown be effective for treatment disease and nephritis. A 24-year-old woman diagnosed SLE five years prior presentation complained mild generalized edema. urinalysis showed microscopic hematuria proteinuria. assessed amount total proteinuria was 1,618 mg/24 hours....
Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorder (EGID) is an uncommon disease that accompanied by intestinal eosinophil infiltration without a secondary cause of eosinophilia. enteritis portion EGID can present range symptoms according to the affected depth layer. The subserosal type eosinophilic presenting as ascites relatively rarer than mucosal type. In general, occurs in patients with food allergies, but its mechanism unclear. authors experienced 29-year-old female patient large amount diarrhea...
The number of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for esophageal subepithelial lesion (SEL) is on the increase recently. We retrospectively investigated 230 patients who underwent EUS SEL from July 2010 to June 2013. analyzed finding and assumptive diagnosis.Among enrolled patients, tumor (SET) was observed in 189 (82.2%) patients. Mean size SET 8.5 ± 5.0 mm mean distance incisor tooth 29.2 6.7 cm. most common origin wall layer muscularis mucosa (59.4%), followed by submucosa (15.8%) propria...
Noninvasive radio frequency (RF) devices have been used in treatment of facial wrinkles. Fractional microneedle RF system was studied to assess the clinical efficacy and safety
Objectives : This study was done for reporting the effect of bloodletting therapeutics on peripheral facial paralysis patients with back affected ear pain. Methods We investigated 37 cases postauricular pain, and devided into two groups treated one group by complex oriental medical treatment therapeutics, did other without therapeutics. Visual analogue scale(VAS) gross grading system House-Brackmann(H-B grade) at baseline final were used evaluating treatment. Results 1. In non-bloodletting...
Objectives : This study was done for reporting the effect of moxibustion therapy on Ryodoraku score patients with degenerative arthritis knee joint Methods We investigated 65 cases joint, and devided into two groups One group treated by therapy, which not applied to other we analyzed each score(F1, F6) before after compared it. Results 1. In baseline, at final, significantly increased. 2. At showed significant increase non group. Conclusions It is suggested that should be available diagnosing joint.
Spontaneous regression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with alcohol abstinence, herbal medication, radiation, ischemia and immune reaction against systemic or local infections.Herein, we report a case 67-year-old man spontaneous disappearance HCC after infection as rare cause.The patient had no clinical symptoms except for markedly increased tumor marker (protein induced by vitamin K absence antagonist-II: 731 mAU/mL).On computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance imaging,...
A Case of Metastatic Lymph Node Invasive Cervical Cancer Diagnosed by Endoscopic Ultrasonography-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy cancer is the most common malignant gynecological cancer.The incidence and mortality cervical has been declining in developed countries, but it still one cancers women worldwide.Prognoses are based on stage, size, histologic grade a primary tumor metastasis lymph node.CT, MRI, 18 F-fluoro-2deoxyglucose (FDG) PET widely utilized effective for detecting early...
This study investigated the effects of exercise types and valsalva maneuver on brain blood flow. Eleven subjects were participated in this experiment. Brain flow was tested by TCD through 5 sessions: maneuver, resting, arm ergometer at 15watts, 30watts, curling dumbbell 15 kg. The values mean cerebral arterial decreased significantly compared to resting value(p.05). 15w 30w increased state(p.00). There no significant difference heart rate among regardless velocity. Present results suggest...
