We aimed to investigate the association between smoking, alcoholic consumption, and betel quid chewing with oral cancer in a prospective manner. All male patients age ≥18 years who visited our clinic received an mucosa inspection. Basic data including personal habits were also obtained. A multivariate logistic regression model was utilized determine relevant risk factors for developing cavity cancer. total of 10,657 participants enrolled this study. Abnormal findings found 514 (4.8%). Three...
We conducted this study to investigate whether formalin fixation is associated with the shrinkage of head and neck cancer specimens.Patients scheduled undergo operation were eligible for enrollment. Fresh specimens measured immediately in operating room, measurements repeated after fixation.A total 100 collected. Nearly half them obtained from oral cavity (n=49), a large majority squamous cell carcinoma (n=69). The average decreases length, width, depth 1.50mm (4.40%), 1.52 mm (6.18%), 0.67...
Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) has been commonly used for treating insomnia in Asian countries centuries. The aim of this study was to conduct a large-scale pharmaco-epidemiologic and evaluate the frequency patterns CHM use insomnia. We obtained traditional (TCM) outpatient claims from National Health Insurance Taiwan year 2002. Patients with were identified diagnostic code International Classification Disease among claimed visiting files. Corresponding prescription files analyzed, an...
This study aims to explore the effects of heat and cold stress on radial pressure pulse (RPP) heart rate variability (HRV). The subjects immersed their left hand into 45°C 7°C water for 2 minutes. Sixty healthy (age 25 ± 4 yr; 29 men 31 women) were enrolled in this study. All underwent supine temperature measurements bilateral forearms, brachial arterial blood pressure, HRV RPP with a analyzer normothermic conditions, thermal stresses. power spectral low-frequency (LF) high-frequency (HF)...
We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an oral cavity cancer visual screening program conducted in a tertiary academic medical center. also wanted determine which group participants was at greater risk contracting cancer.Participants were first asked relate their personal habits during past 6 months. Visual then performed under adequate lighting and with proper instruments.From March 2005 January 2010, 13,878 enrolled this study. The average age 54.6 years. Positive lesions identified 726...
This study is the first to detect radial pulses of three diagnosis positions (inch, bar, and cubit) in both wrists (six positions) by pulse spectrum analysis. The purpose this was identify difference among six at stages pregnancy examine whether results agree with theory Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which states that cubit shows unique changes for an expectant woman coincide progression gestation.One hundred fifty (150) healthy pregnant women were divided into groups according...
Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the rate simultaneous second primary tumor (SPT) in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma. survival SPT also compared without. Methods presence documented along patients' demographic data, tumor‐related features, and status. Kaplan–Meier method used for analysis. Relevant factors influencing were examined by Cox proportional hazard model. Results A total 897 medical records obtained. Among them, 43 (4.8%) had their prognosis poorer...
Background: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) and mucosa healing in an experimental animal model. Methods: Fifteen adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups that underwent different wound treatments. In Group 1, no pharyngeal was created. 2, sutured with Prolene only. 3, Prolene, covered one layer of ORC before closure skin wound. The animals euthanized either 5 or 10 days after operation, conditions...
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common allergy that causes the skin to be dry and itchy. It appears at an early age, closely associated with asthma allergic rhinitis. Thus, AD indicator other allergies may occur later. Literatures indicate molecular basis of patients different from healthy individuals. According classics Traditional Chinese Medicine, body constitution also different. The purpose this study determine differences in pulse spectrum analysis between nonatopic individuals.A total 60...
Depressive disorders (DD) affect not only mood and behavior but also various physical functions. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been shown to have some benefits in treating DD. However, one formula or single herb might be show high efficacy when used treat depression. Thus, this study aimed examine the core prescription pattern of herbal (CHM) among patients with DD Taiwan as a reference for related research clinical applications.All patients, who had diagnosed major depressive...
The surface treatment and cleaning for biochips has been a long existing problem to the biological scientists. We provided fast, reliable low cost method solve this difficulty. proposed using high density hot Ozone vapor clean organic pollutant on slide surface. Further, we added Chemical Vapor Deposit system (CVD) in operating chamber process energy with biochips. In way, hydrophilic or hydrophobic character of biochip could be controlled. A nozzle CVD is metal capillary needle used inject...
