Previously, the perivascular characteristics of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were reported, which suggested potential application DPSCs as cell source. In this study, we investigated whether had angiogenic capacity by coinjection with human umbilical vein endothelial (HUVECs) in vivo; addition, determined role stromal cell-derived factor 1- α (SDF-1 ) and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) axis mutual interaction between HUVECs. Primarily isolated showed mesenchymal cell- (MSC-) like...
Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) are multipotent derived from periodontium and have mesenchymal cell (MSC)-like characteristics.Recently, the perivascular region was recognized as developmental origin of MSCs, which suggests in vivo angiogenic potential PDLSCs.In this study, we investigated whether PDLSCs could be a source cells, contribute to angiogenesis.PDLSCs exhibited typical MSC-like charac- teristics such expression pattern surface markers (CD29, CD44, CD73, CD105)...
This study aims to examine the association between alcohol consumption and risk of pre- or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by alcohol-induced flushing response in Korean male adults, particularly based on their body mass index (BMI).This selected 1,030 (158 non-drinkers, 364 flushers, 508 non-flushers) adults who had medical checkups. A logistic regression analysis was used compare T2DM.In both normal-weight group (BMI <23 kg/m2) overweight ≥23 kg/m2 <25 kg/ m2), flushers a higher T2DM (odds...
Background This study aimed to examine the relationship between alcohol consumption and intraocular pressure (IOP) according facial flushing in Korean men with obesity. Methods The included 479 a body mass index of ≥25 kg/m2 (75 non-drinkers, 174 drinking-related flushing, 230 without flushing) who underwent health check-ups October 1, 2016 March 31, 2017. Multivariate logistic regression was used assess high IOP (≥21 mm Hg). Results Flushers consuming ≤16 drinks per week had significantly...
Background The aspartate transaminase (AST)/alanine transferase (ALT) ratio increases with alcohol consumption. This study investigated AST/ALT according to drinking and predictive power of for heavy in Korean men. Methods In 2015, 830 men no history disease or medication affecting liver function values were selected. Using 14 g as the standard glass, odd ratios (ORs) over 1 among group compared non-drinking by multiple logistic analyses. Screening drinkers was conducted both NIAAA...
