| ○ | ○ | Article | Distribution and frequency of ace-1 and kdr mutations of Culex pipiens subgroup in the Republic of Korea | Mosquitoes in the Culex pipiens subgroup are the primary vectors of the West Nile virus. Two members, Culex pallens and Culex pipiens f. molestus, are present in the Republic of Korea (ROK). Because the Culex pipiens sub -group occurs in large amounts, often near human habitation, it is frequently exposed to various insecticides, which is probably responsible for the rapid evolution of insecticide resistance traits. Experiments related to insecticide resistance in the Culex pipiens subgroup conducted in the ROK have been performed without discrimination below the species level. This study categorized Culex pipiens mosquitoes subgroup from 13 regions in the ROK into Culex pallens and Culex pipiens f. molestus, and target site genotypes for acetylcholinesterase-1 (ace-1) and voltage-gated sodium channel (vgsc) genes were identified for each taxon. Screening for ace-1 did not identify a resistant allele (G119S) in Cx. pipiens f. molestus, and heterozygous resistance (AGC/GGC) was identified in one Cx. pallens collected in Mokpo. In vgsc, knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations [TTT(L1014F) and TCA(L1014S)] were present in both taxa, with Cx. pipiens f. molestus having homozygous resistance (TTT/TTT): 44%, heterozygous resistance (TTT/TTA): 28%, and homozygous susceptibility (TTA/TTA): 28%, whereas Cx. pallens showed homozygous resistance (TTT/TTT or TCA/TCA): 26%, heterozygous resistance (TTT/TTA, TTT/ TCA, or TCA/TTA): 26%, and homozygous susceptibility (TTA/TTA): 48%. Furthermore, the unique vgsc allele was present in both Cx. pipiens f. molestus and Cx. pallens. This was the first experiment to analyze the Culex pipiens subgroup living in the ROK below the species level, and its results could be used in the future for more detailed mosquito control. | Jeon, Jiseung; Ryu, Jihun; Choi, Kwang Shik | Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Life Sci, BK21 FOUR KNU Creat Biores Grp, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Coll Nat Sci, Sch Life Sci, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Res Inst Dok Do & Ulleung Do Isl, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Res Inst Phylogen & Evolut, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Life Sci & Biotechnol, Daegu 41566, South Korea | Jeon, Jiseung/NRB-6964-2025; Ryu, Jihun/MSY-6008-2025 | 58673027200; 57210884178; 36602283400 | ksc@knu.ac.kr; | ACTA TROPICA | ACTA TROP | 0001-706X | 1873-6254 | 249 | SCIE | PARASITOLOGY;TROPICAL MEDICINE | 2024 | 2.5 | 23.2 | 2.51 | 2025-04-16 | 1 | 3 | Culex pipiens subgroup; Culex pallens; Culex pipiens f. molestus; Insecticide resistance; Voltage-gated sodium channel; Acetylcholinesterase | ANOPHELES-GAMBIAE; INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE; DIPTERA-CULICIDAE; COMPLEX; IDENTIFICATION; EAST; ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE; COOCCURRENCE; VECTORS; CHANNEL | Acetylcholinesterase; Culex pallens; Culex pipiens f. molestus; Culex pipiens subgroup; Insecticide resistance; Voltage-gated sodium channel | Acetylcholinesterase; Animals; Culex; Culex pipiens; Humans; Insecticide Resistance; Insecticides; Mutation; Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels; South Korea; acetylcholinesterase; glycine; insecticide; leucine; molecular marker; phenylalanine; serine; voltage gated sodium channel; acetylcholinesterase; insecticide; disease control; experimental study; frequency analysis; future prospect; genotype; mosquito; viral disease; ace 1 gene; adult; animal experiment; Article; controlled study; Culex pipiens; Culex pipiens molestus; Culex pipiens pallens; female; gene frequency; gene knockdown; gene mutation; genetic trait; genotype; geographic distribution; heterozygosity; homozygosity; insecticide resistance; knockdown resistance; mosquito control; nonhuman; South Korea; vgsc gene; animal; Culex; Culex pipiens; genetics; human; insecticide resistance; mutation | English | 2024 | 2024-01 | 10.1016/j.actatropica.2023.107058 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||
| ○ | ○ | Article | Enhancing the open-circuit voltage in narrow-bandgap CuInSe2 solar cells via local contact passivation with Al2O3 | A fabrication technique using Al2O3-passivated local contacts was employed to produce narrow-bandgap CuInSe2 (CISe) photoabsorbers, which are well-suited as bottom cell materials in tandem devices. However, the performances of CISe cells with narrow bandgaps are impeded by the recombination of charge carriers, which reduces the open-circuit voltage (VOC). To overcome this limitation, an additional Al2O3 passivation layer was added to CISe solar cells. This enhanced the VOC while maintaining a spectral response of up to 1.0 eV, thereby boosting the photovoltaic conversion efficiency of the devices. Further, the Al2O3 passivation layer within the CISe absorber effectively mitigated the recombination of charge carriers, resulting in a substantial improvement in efficiency. Specifically, the Al2O3-passivated local contact hindered the charge-carrier recombination at the rear contact, leading to a marked increase in the VOC. Consequently, the overall photovoltaic conversion efficiency increased significantly from 10.4 % to 13 %. These results are expected to greatly further the development of CISe solar cells and achieve remarkable photovoltaic conversion efficiencies. | Jeon, Dong-Hwan; Park, Si-Nae; Lee, Jae-Baek; Kim, Young -Ill; Yang, Kee-Jeong; Kang, Jin-Kyu; Kim, Dae-Hwan; Sung, Shi-Joon; Hwang, Dae-Kue | Daegu Gyeongbuk Inst Sci & Technol DGIST, Res Ctr Thin Film Solar Cells, Daegu 42988, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Elect & Elect Engn, 80 Daehak Ro, Daegu 41566, South Korea | Hwang, Dae-Kue/ABG-2664-2020; Lee, Juhyung/JQV-8143-2023; Hwang, Dae-Kue/A-4929-2009; Jin-Kyu, Kang/AAR-9096-2021; Kim, Jihyun/F-6940-2013; Sung, Shi-Joon/AAU-2464-2021 | 55648559900; 55758813800; 57223311737; 56066780100; 15763941100; 35096377300; 57778048600; 7202731923; 7401880233 | sjsung@dgist.ac.kr;dkhwang@dgist.ac.kr; | JOURNAL OF SCIENCE-ADVANCED MATERIALS AND DEVICES | J SCI-ADV MATER DEV | 2468-2284 | 2468-2179 | 9 | 1 | SCIE | MATERIALS SCIENCE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY;NANOSCIENCE & NANOTECHNOLOGY | 2024 | 6.8 | 23.2 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 0 | 0 | CISe; Narrow bandgap; Back contact; Passivation; Thin film solar cells | Back contact; CISe; Narrow bandgap; Passivation; Thin film solar cells | English | 2024 | 2024-03 | 10.1016/j.jsamd.2023.100648 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | |||
| ○ | ○ | Article | Microbiome profile of South Korean vector mosquitoes | This research offers a comprehensive exploration of the microbial communities associated with vector mosquitoes from South Korea. Aedes albopictus, Anopheles sinensis, and Culex molestus are vectors of pathogens, and understanding the intricacies of their microbiome profile is paramount for unraveling their roles in disease transmission dynamics. In this study, we characterized the microbiome of the midguts of adult female vector mosquitoes collected from different locations in South Korea. After DNA extraction from dissected mosquito midguts, we used the Illumina MiSeq next-generation sequencing to obtain sequences spanning the V4 hypervariable region of the bacteria 16S rRNA. Morphological and molecular characterization using 506-bp mitochondrial 16S rRNA was used to identify the mosquito species before amplicon sequencing. Across the three vector mosquitoes surveyed, 21 bacteria genera belonging to 20 families and 5 phyla were discovered. Proteobacteria and Bacteriodota were the major phyla of bacteria associated with the three mosquito species. There were significant differences in the gut microbiome genera composition between the species and little variation in the gut microbiome between individuals of the same mosquito species. Wolbachia is the most dominant genus in Aedes while Aeromonas, Acinetobacter, and unassigned taxa are the most common in An. sinensis. In addition to that, Chromobacterium, Chryseobacterium, and Aeromonas are dominant in Cx. molestus. This study sheds light on the complex interactions between mosquitoes and their microbiome, revealing potential implications for vector competence, disease transmission, and vector control strategies. | Akintola, Ashraf Akintayo; Hwang, Ui Wook | Kyungpook Natl Univ, Dept Biomed Convergence Sci & Technol, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Teachers Coll, Dept Biol, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Inst Phylogen & Evolut, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Inst Korean Herb Bio Convergence Promot, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Phylomics Inc, Daegu 41910, South Korea | Akintola, Ashraf/KZU-7081-2024 | 57218618629; 35074015800 | uwhwang1@gmail.com; | ACTA TROPICA | ACTA TROP | 0001-706X | 1873-6254 | 255 | SCIE | PARASITOLOGY;TROPICAL MEDICINE | 2024 | 2.5 | 23.2 | 1.5 | 2025-05-07 | 3 | 3 | Microbiome; Mosquito; South Korea; Vector; Infectious diseases | SYMBIOTIC BACTERIA; GUT MICROBIOTA; TRANSMISSION; CHIKUNGUNYA; INFECTION; COMPETENCE; DIPTERA; MIDGUT; DENGUE | Infectious diseases; Microbiome; Mosquito; South Korea; Vector | Aedes; Animals; Anopheles; Bacteria; Culex; DNA, Bacterial; Female; Gastrointestinal Microbiome; High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing; Microbiota; Mosquito Vectors; Phylogeny; Republic of Korea; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Wolbachia; South Korea; bacterial DNA; RNA 16S; disease control; disease incidence; disease transmission; disease vector; dominance; health geography; infectious disease; microbial community; mosquito; pathogen; RNA; Acinetobacter; adult; Aedes albopictus; Aeromonas; Anopheles sinensis; Article; Chromobacterium; Chryseobacterium; community structure; Culex pipiens molestus; DNA extraction; female; high throughput sequencing; microbial diversity; microbiome; mosquito vector; nonhuman; population abundance; Proteobacteria; South Korea; species richness; Wolbachia; Aedes; animal; Anopheles; bacterium; classification; Culex; DNA sequencing; genetics; intestine flora; isolation and purification; microbiology; microflora; phylogeny | English | 2024 | 2024-07 | 10.1016/j.actatropica.2024.107213 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||
| ○ | ○ | Article | The dynamical state of bars in cluster dwarf galaxies: the cases of NGC 4483 and NGC 4516 | Dwarf barred galaxies are the perfect candidates for hosting slowly rotating bars. They are common in dense environments and have a relatively shallow potential well, making them prone to heating by interactions. When an interaction induces bar formation, the bar should rotate slowly. They reside in massive and centrally concentrated dark matter haloes, which slow down the bar rotation through dynamical friction. While predictions suggest that slow bars should be common, measurements of bar pattern speed, using the Tremaine-Weinberg method, show that bars are mostly fast in the local Universe. We present a photometric and kinematic characterization of bars hosted by two dwarf galaxies in the Virgo Cluster, NGC 4483, and NGC 4516. We derive the bar length and strength using the Next Generation Virgo Survey imaging and the circular velocity, bar pattern speed, and rotation rate using spectroscopy from the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer. Including the previously studied galaxy IC 3167, we compare the bar properties of the three dwarf galaxies with those of their massive counterparts from literature. Bars in the dwarf galaxies are shorter and weaker, and rotate slightly slower with respect to those in massive galaxies. This could be due to a different bar formation mechanism and/or to a large dark matter fraction in the centre of dwarf galaxies. We show that it is possible to push the application of the Tremaine-Weinberg method to the galaxy low-mass regime. | Cuomo, Virginia; Morelli, Lorenzo; Aguerri, J.

| ○ | ○ | Article | The Radio Galaxy Environment Reference Survey (RAGERS): a submillimetre study of the environments of massive radio-quiet galaxies at z=1-3 | Measuring the environments of massive galaxies at high redshift is crucial to understanding galaxy evolution and the conditions that gave rise to the distribution of matter we see in the Universe today. While high-z radio galaxies (HzRGs) and quasars tend to reside in protocluster-like systems, the environments of their radio-quiet counterparts are relatively unexplored, particularly in the submillimetre, which traces dust-obscured star formation. In this study, we search for 850 mu m-selected submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) in the environments of massive (M star>1011M(circle dot)), radio-quiet (L500MHz less than or similar to 10(25) WHz-1) galaxies at z similar to 1-3 using data from the SCUBA-2 COSMOS (S2COSMOS) survey. By constructing number counts in circular regions of radius 1-6 arcmin and comparing with blank-field measurements, we find no significant overdensities of SMGs around massive radio-quiet galaxies at any of these scales, despite being sensitive down to overdensities of delta similar to 0.4. To probe deeper than the catalogue we also examine the distribution of peaks in the SCUBA-2 signal-to-noise (SNR) map, which reveals only tentative signs of any difference in the SMG densities of the radio-quiet galaxy environments compared to the blank field, and only on smaller scales (1 arcmin radii, corresponding to similar to 0.5 Mpc) and higher SNR thresholds. We conclude that massive, radio-quiet galaxies at cosmic noon are typically in environments with delta less than or similar to 0.4, which are either consistent with the blank field or contain only weak overdensities spanning sub-Mpc scales. The contrast between our results and studies of HzRGs with similar stellar masses and redshifts implies an intrinsic link between the wide-field environment and the radio luminosity of the active galactic nucleus at high redshift. | Cornish, Thomas M.; Wardlow, Julie L.; Greve, Thomas R.; Chapman, Scott; Chen, Chian-Chou; Dannerbauer, Helmut; Goto, Tomotsugu; Gullberg, Bitten; Ho, Luis C.; Jiang, Xue-Jian; Lagos, Claudia; Lee, Minju; Serjeant, Stephen; Shim, Hyunjin; Smith, Daniel J.

| ○ | ○ | Article | Tick-borne pathogens in Mongolian ticks: The high prevalence of Rickettsia raoultii and its public health implications | In Mongolia, a substantial segment of the population is engaged in pastoralism, leading to frequent interactions with livestock and heightened exposure to tick-infested environments. Consequently, ticks and the endemic tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) they harbor present significant health threats. In May 2021, we conducted a study to evaluate the prevalence of 9 TBPs in ticks collected from four regions in Mongolia: Uvurkhangai, Tuv, Bayan-Ulgii, and Khentii. The pathogens surveyed included Anaplasma, Rickettsia, Bartonella, Borrelia, Ehrlichia, Babesia, Toxoplasma, Theileria, and lumpy skin disease virus. Molecular analysis of 1142 ticks revealed that, although the majority of TBPs were not detected, 89.1 % of the ticks were positive for Rickettsia. Genetic characterization using the 16S rRNA and gltA genes identified the pathogen identified the pathogen Rickettsia raoultii. Species identification indicated a predominance of Dermacentor nuttalli (70.0 %) and Dermacentor silvarum (30.0 %). These findings highlight the extensive prevalence of R. raoultii in Mongolia and underscore the urgent need for heightened awareness and preventive measures due to the high level of interaction between livestock and humans. The genetic similarity of R. raoultii sequences to those found in neighboring countries suggests potential cross-border transmission, underscoring the importance of conducting similar research in surrounding regions. This study advances our understanding of the epidemiology of tick-borne diseases in Mongolia and can inform public health strategies aimed at mitigating the risks associated with these infections. | Lee, You-Jeong; Kim, Beoul; Kwak, Dongmi; Nyamsuren, Ochirkhuu; Guugandaa, Nyamdavaa; Seo, Min-Goo | Kyungpook Natl Univ, Coll Vet Med, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Inst Vet Biomed Sci, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Mongolian Univ Life Sci, Sch Vet Med, Ulaanbaatar 17024, Mongolia | ; Seo, Min-Goo/NQF-4335-2025 | 59343760600; 59343608800; 7007148758; 55789782600; 59344361700; 53982155300 | koreasmg@knu.ac.kr; | ACTA TROPICA | ACTA TROP | 0001-706X | 1873-6254 | 260 | SCIE | PARASITOLOGY;TROPICAL MEDICINE | 2024 | 2.5 | 23.2 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 1 | 1 | Tick-borne pathogens; Rickettsia raoultii; Mongolia; Dermacentor tick | TOXOPLASMA-GONDII; INFECTION; ANAPLASMA; SLOVACA | Dermacentor tick; Mongolia; Rickettsia raoultii; Tick-borne pathogens | Anaplasma; Animals; Dermacentor; Humans; Mongolia; Phylogeny; Prevalence; Public Health; Rickettsia; Rickettsia Infections; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S; Tick-Borne Diseases; Ticks; Mongolia; RNA 16S; RNA 16S; bacterium; disease prevalence; epidemiology; pathogen; public health; tick; adult; Anaplasma; Article; awareness; Babesia; Bartonella; controlled study; Dermacentor; Dermacentor nuttalli; Dermacentor silvarum; disease transmission; Ehrlichia; female; genetic analysis; gltA gene; infection prevention; infectious agent; Lumpy skin disease virus; male; microbial gene; Mongolia; nonhuman; nucleotide sequence; phylogeny; prevalence; public health; Rickettsia raoultii; species identification; Theileria; tick borne disease; Toxoplasma; animal; classification; Dermacentor; epidemiology; genetics; human; isolation and purification; microbiology; Mongolia; prevalence; public health; Rickettsia; rickettsiosis; tick; tick borne disease | English | 2024 | 2024-12 | 10.1016/j.actatropica.2024.107412 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||
| ○ | ○ | Article | A Comparative Study of Endoscopic versus Percutaneous Epidural Neuroplasty in Lower Back Pain: Outcomes at Six-Month Follow Up | Background and Objectives: Endoscopic epidural neuroplasty (EEN) facilitates adhesiolysis through direct epiduroscopic visualization, offering more precise neural decompression than that exhibited by percutaneous epidural neuroplasty (PEN). We aimed to compare the effects of EEN and PEN for 6 months after treatment with lower back and radicular pain in patients. Methods: This retrospective study compared the visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores in patients with low back and radicular pain who underwent EEN or PEN with a steering catheter. The medical records of 107 patients were analyzed, with 73 and 34 undergoing EEN and PEN, respectively. Results: The VAS and ODI scores decreased at all time points after EEN and PEN. VAS and ODI scores decreased more in the EEN group than those in the PEN group at 1 day and 1- and 6-months post-procedure, indicating superior pain relief for both lower back and radicular pain through EEN. Conclusions: EEN is a superior treatment of pain control than PEN in lower back and radicular pain patients. | Choi, Jong Bum; Koh, Jae Chul; Jo, Daehyun; Kim, Jae Hyung; Chang, Won Sok; Lim, Kang Taek; Lee, Hyung Gon; Moon, Ho Sik; Kim, Eunsoo; Lee, Sun Yeul; Park, Kibeom; Choi, Yi Hwa; Park, Sang Jun; Oh, Jinyoung; Lee, Sook Young; Park, Bumhee; Jun, Eun Kyung; Ko, Yeong Seung; Kim, Ji Su; Ha, Eunji; Kim, Tae Kwang; Choi, Gyu Bin; Cho, Ra Yoon; Kim, Na Eun | Ajou Univ, Sch Med, Dept Anesthesiol & Pain Med, Suwon 16499, South Korea; Korea Univ, Coll Med, Dept Anesthesiol & Pain Med, Anam Hosp, Seoul 02841, South Korea; Jodaehyun Pain Ctr, Jeonju 55149, South Korea; Hallym Univ, Dongtan Sacred Heart Hosp, Dept Anesthesiol & Pain Med, Sch Med, Hwaseong 18450, South Korea; Daegu Wooridul Spine Hosp, Dept Anesthesiol & Pain Med, Seoul 06068, South Korea; AIN Hosp, Dept Neurosurg, Incheon 22148, South Korea; Chonnam Natl Univ, Med Sch, Dept Anesthesiol & Pain Med, Gwangju 61469, South Korea; Catholic Univ Korea, Coll Med, Dept Anesthesiol & Pain Med, Seoul 06591, South Korea; Pusan Natl Univ, Sch Med, Dept Anesthesia & Pain Med, Busan 50612, South Korea; Chungnam Natl Univ, Dept Anesthesiol & Pain Med, Chungnam Natl Univ Hosp, Sch Med, Daejeon 35015, South Korea; Keimyung Univ, Dept Anesthesiol & Pain Med, Dongsan Hosp, Daegu 42601, South Korea; Hallym Univ, Sacred Heart Hosp, Dept Anesthesiol & Pain Med, Sch Med, Anyang 14068, South Korea; Yonsei Univ, Coll Med, Severance Hosp, Dept Anesthesiol & Pain Med, Seoul 03722, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Chilgok Hosp, Sch Med, Dept Anesthesiol & Pain Med, Daegu 41944, South Korea; Ajou Univ, Sch Med, Dept Biomed Informat, Suwon 16499, South Korea; Ajou Univ, Ajou Res Inst Innovat Med, Med Res Collaborating Ctr, Off Biostat,Med Ctr, Suwon 16499, South Korea; Ajou Univ, Dept Anesthesiol & Pain Med, Grad Sch Med, Suwon 16499, South Korea; Inha Univ, Sch Med, Dept Anesthesiol & Pain Med, Incheon 22212, South Korea; Beomeo First Orthoped Clin, Dept Anesthesiol & Pain Med, Daegu 42087, South Korea | ; Koh, Jae/AAX-7163-2020; Kim, Eunsoo/AAJ-5077-2021; Kim, Jae-hyung/J-8504-2012 | 57203732511; 36925223700; 55585656300; 56196830100; 23491526200; 57204175279; 36059566700; 56657032700; 57202989732; 55445825800; 57219844060; 55629001500; 57202126824; 57609999900; 57203263858; 57205620923; 57940031300; 56735228100; 57221928683; 57220157882; 57246731100; 57998373200; 57812567100; 57212531570 | romeojb@naver.com;jaykoh@korea.ac.kr;pandjo@naver.com;jaehkim11@gmail.com;limkat@hanmail.net;leehg@chonnam.ac.kr;mhsjshemp@empas.com;eunsookim@pusan.ac.kr;neoquack@naver.com;pakkibum@naver.com;pcyhchoi@hallym.or.kr;iotas@naver.com;sgcms3@gmail.com;anesylee@aumc.ac.kr;col3004@naver.com;k.jisu5107@aumc.ac.kr;tk.kim@aumc.ac.kr;friskygirl@naver.com;KNE7749@inha.ac.kr; | MEDICINA-LITHUANIA | MEDICINA-LITHUANIA | 1010-660X | 1648-9144 | 60 | 5 | SCIE | MEDICINE, GENERAL & INTERNAL | 2024 | 2.4 | 23.3 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 1 | 0 | endoscopic epidural neuroplasty; percutaneous epidural neuroplasty; visual analog scale; Oswestry disability index | EPIDUROSCOPY | endoscopic epidural neuroplasty; Oswestry disability index; percutaneous epidural neuroplasty; visual analog scale | Adult; Aged; Decompression, Surgical; Endoscopy; Epidural Space; Female; Follow-Up Studies; Humans; Low Back Pain; Male; Middle Aged; Pain Measurement; Retrospective Studies; Treatment Outcome; adult; aged; comparative study; decompression surgery; endoscopy; epidural space; female; follow up; human; low back pain; male; middle aged; pain measurement; procedures; retrospective study; surgery; therapy; treatment outcome | English | 2024 | 2024-05 | 10.3390/medicina60050839 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | |
| ○ | ○ | Article | Cardiac Manifestations after Ingestion of a Commercial Desiccant: A Case Report | Background and Objectives: The rise in suicidal attempts has led to an increase in unusual intoxication cases. The ingestion of anhydrous calcium chloride (CaCl2) causes direct injury to the gastrointestinal wall via a thermal burn. Therefore, previous reports on CaCl2 ingestion primarily considered the gastrointestinal injury. Severe CaCl2 intoxication can induce a hypercalcemic crisis, presenting with arrhythmia, acute pancreatitis, and acute kidney injury. This case report details a patient with hematemesis and hypercalcemia following the ingestion of a commercial desiccant. We aimed to report the progression of the case, with a focus on the electrocardiographic manifestations. Case Presentation: A 39-year-old female presented at a regional emergency center with blood in her vomit after the ingestion of a commercial desiccant. Bloody emesis was the initial symptom, and various electrolyte imbalances developed during admission. Electrocardiogram (ECG) changes occurred early after hospitalization and disappeared before the electrolyte levels normalized. The patient was maintained in an NPO (Nil Per Os) state throughout her hospital stay. The bloody emesis and abdominal pain resolved quite early, despite her minimal mention of symptoms, possibly due to her suspected negative psychiatric symptoms. Conclusions: In this case, we observed dynamic and prolonged multiple electrolyte imbalances along with the early-phase ECG changes, all of which responded well to supportive care. This report adds to the understanding of the diverse manifestations and management of CaCl2 intoxication. | Shin, Su-Jeong; Kim, Yun-Jeong | Yeungnam Univ, Dept Emergency Med, Med Ctr, Daegu 42415, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Med, Dept Emergency Med, Daegu 41944, South Korea | 57215828708; 57202340666 | dongle7979@gmail.com;kimyjem1@gmail.com; | MEDICINA-LITHUANIA | MEDICINA-LITHUANIA | 1010-660X | 1648-9144 | 60 | 1 | SCIE | MEDICINE, GENERAL & INTERNAL | 2024 | 2.4 | 23.3 | 0 | 2025-04-16 | 0 | 0 | calcium chloride; poisoning; hypercalcemia; cardiomyopathy | HYPERCALCEMIA; MANAGEMENT | calcium chloride; cardiomyopathy; hypercalcemia; poisoning | Acute Disease; Adult; Calcium Chloride; Eating; Electrolytes; Female; Humans; Hygroscopic Agents; Hypercalcemia; Pancreatitis; Vomiting; calcium chloride; electrolyte; hygroscopic agent; acute disease; adult; case report; eating; female; human; hypercalcemia; pancreatitis; vomiting | English | 2024 | 2024-01 | 10.3390/medicina60010055 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||
| ○ | ○ | Article | Clinical impact of pleural fluid carcinoembryonic antigen on therapeutic strategy and efficacy in lung adenocarcinoma patients with malignant pleural effusion | Background/Aims: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation is important in determining the treatment strategy for advanced lung cancer patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Contrary to serum carcinoembryonic antigen (S-CEA) levels, the associations between pleural fluid CEA (PF-CEA) levels and EGFR mutation status as well as between PF-CEA levels and treatment efficacy have rarely been investigated in lung adenocarcinoma patients with MPE. Methods: This retrospective study enrolled lung adenocarcinoma patients with MPE and available PF-CEA levels and EGFR mutation results. The patients were categorized based on PF-CEA levels: = 500 ng/mL. The association between PF-CEA levels and EGFR mutation status as well as their therapeutic impact on overall survival was compared among the four groups. Results: This study included 188 patients. PF-CEA level was found to be an independent predictor of EGFR mutation but not S-CEA level. The EGFR mutation rates were higher as the PF-CEA levels increased, regardless of cytology results or sample types. Among EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma patients receiving EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment, those with high PF-CEA levels had significantly better survival outcomes than those with low PF-CEA levels. Conclusion: High PF-CEA levels were associated with high EGFR mutation rate and may lead to a favorable clinical outcome of EGFR-TKI treatment in EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma patients with MPE. These findings highlight the importance of actively investigating EGFR mutation detection in patients with suspected MPE and elevated PF-CEA levels despite negative cytology results. | Lee, Jaehee; Lee, Deok Heon; Park, Ji Eun; Lee, Yong Hoon; Ha Choi, Sun; Seo, Hyewon; Yoo, Seung Soo; Lee, Shin Yup; Cha, Seung-Ick; Park, Jae Yong; Kim, Chang Ho | Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Med, Dept Internal Med, Daegu, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Med, Dept Thorac & Cardiovasc Surg, Daegu, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Med, Dept Internal Med, 680 Gukchaebosang Ro, Daegu 41944, South Korea | Lee, Junseong/T-4139-2017; Park, Jae Yong/ISS-5916-2023; Lee, Jaehee/S-1697-2018 | 13805476000; 39561353900; 57195437358; 57199022948; 57199723585; 55612130200; 56479781600; 49863712700; 35227126400; 58360293800; 7409873555 | kimch@knu.ac.kr; | KOREAN JOURNAL OF INTERNAL MEDICINE | KOREAN J INTERN MED | 1226-3303 | 2005-6648 | 39 | 2 | SCIE | MEDICINE, GENERAL & INTERNAL | 2024 | 2.4 | 23.3 | 0.54 | 2025-04-16 | 1 | 1 | Epidermal growth factor receptor; Mutation; Malignant pleural effusion; Pleural fluid-carcinoembryonic anti- gen; Tyrosine kinase inhibitor | PREDICTIVE MARKER; EGFR MUTATIONS; CANCER; GEFITINIB; TKI | Epidermal growth factor receptor; Malignant pleural effusion; Mutation; Pleural fluid–carcinoembryonic antigen; Tyrosine kinase inhibitor | Adenocarcinoma of Lung; Carcinoembryonic Antigen; ErbB Receptors; Humans; Lung Neoplasms; Mutation; Pleural Effusion; Pleural Effusion, Malignant; Protein Kinase Inhibitors; Retrospective Studies; carcinoembryonic antigen; epidermal growth factor receptor; epidermal growth factor receptor kinase inhibitor; pleura fluid carcinoembryonic antigen; unclassified drug; carcinoembryonic antigen; epidermal growth factor receptor; protein kinase inhibitor; adult; aged; antigen blood level; Article; cancer chemotherapy; controlled study; disease association; EGFR gene; electronic medical record; female; gene mutation; human; human tissue; informed consent; lung adenocarcinoma; major clinical study; male; malignant pleura effusion; middle aged; overall survival; patient selection; pleura biopsy; pleural fluid biopsy; real time polymerase chain reaction; retrospective study; thoracocentesis; genetics; lung adenocarcinoma; lung tumor; malignant pleura effusion; mutation; pathology; pleura effusion | English | 2024 | 2024-03 | 10.3904/kjim.2023.309 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | |
| ○ | ○ | Article | Factors Associated with Acute Kidney Injury Occurrence and Prognosis in Rhabdomyolysis at the Emergency Department | Background and Objectives: This study aimed to analyze patients with rhabdomyolysis who presented to emergency departments and identify their distribution of related disease and prognostic factors. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients with rhabdomyolysis who presented to emergency departments over a 10-year period. Patient data, including patients' demographic variables (sex and age), mode of arrival, final diagnosis, statin use, rhabdomyolysis trigger factors, and levels of serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK), myoglobin, creatinine, sodium, potassium, phosphate, calcium, and lactate, were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the predictive factors of acute kidney injury (AKI). Results: Among the patients, 268 (65.6%) were found to have trigger factors without underlying diseases. Furthermore, 115 (28.2%) patients developed AKI. This comprehensive study sheds light on the diverse factors influencing the occurrence of AKI in rhabdomyolysis and provides insights into AKI predictive markers. Furthermore, we analyzed the cases by dividing them into six groups: occurrence of AKI, occurrence of infection, and simple or complex rhabdomyolysis. CPK time course was found to be important in clinical prognosis, such as AKI occurrence, dialysis or not, and mortality. Conclusions: Age, statin use, elevated creatinine and lactate levels, and initial serum CPK level emerged as significant predictors of AKI. CPK time course was also found to be an important factor in predicting the clinical outcomes of patients with rhabdomyolysis. | Seo, Jun Seok; Yeo, Inhwan; Kim, Changho; Kim, Daeun; Lim, Jeong-Hoon; Park, Kyoungtae; Jeong, Jiwoo; Kwon, Hojin; Cho, Yuna; Park, Sungyeon | Dongguk Univ, Ilsan Hosp, Coll Med, Dept Emergency Med, Goyang 10326, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Med, Dept Emergency Med, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Med, Dept Internal Med, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Med, Daegu 41566, South Korea | ; Lim, Jeong-Hoon/ABE-6003-2020 | 55614793100; 57216816807; 56441824200; 58843461600; 55360244300; 58844670800; 58844435600; 58844435700; 58844435800; 58843461800 | drsjs75@dongguk.edu;inani1113@gmail.com;9754130@hanmail.net;da_eun22@naver.com;coxhdl80@naver.com;ys06018@naver.com;ghwls12589@naver.com;yuna704@naver.com;jenne9926@gmail.com; | MEDICINA-LITHUANIA | MEDICINA-LITHUANIA | 1010-660X | 1648-9144 | 60 | 1 | SCIE | MEDICINE, GENERAL & INTERNAL | 2024 | 2.4 | 23.3 | 1.88 | 2025-04-16 | 2 | 2 | rhabdomyolysis; CPK; acute kidney injury; hemodialysis; mortality | acute kidney injury; CPK; hemodialysis; mortality; rhabdomyolysis | Acute Kidney Injury; Creatinine; Emergency Service, Hospital; Humans; Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA Reductase Inhibitors; Lactic Acid; Prognosis; Renal Dialysis; Retrospective Studies; creatinine; hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor; lactic acid; acute kidney failure; hemodialysis; hospital emergency service; human; prognosis; retrospective study | English | 2024 | 2024-01 | 10.3390/medicina60010105 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||
| ○ | ○ | Article | Geriatric risk model for older patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (GERIAD): a prospective multicenter cohort study | Background/Aims: Optimal risk stratification based on simplified geriatric assessment to predict treatment -related toxicity and survival needs to be clarified in older patients with diffuse large B -cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods: This multicenter prospective cohort study enrolled newly diagnosed patients with DLBCL (>= 65 yr) between September 2015 and April 2018. A simplified geriatric assessment was performed at baseline using Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Instrumental ADL (IADL), and Charlson's Comorbidity Index (CCI). The primary endpoint was event -free survival (EFS). Results: The study included 249 patients, the median age was 74 years (range, 65-88), and 125 (50.2%) were female. In multivariable Cox analysis, ADL, IADL, CCI, and age were independent factors for EFS; an integrated geriatric score was derived and the patients stratified into three geriatric categories: fit (n = 162, 65.1%), intermediate -fit (n = 25, 10.0%), and frail (n = 62, 24.9%). The established geriatric model was significantly associated with EFS (fit vs. intermediate -fit, HR 2.61, p = 62.4% was significantly associated with worse EFS (HR, 2.15, 95% CI 1.30-3.53, p = 0.002). It was related with a higher incidence of grade >= 3 symptomatic non -hematologic toxicities (63.2% vs. 27.8%, p = 62.4% than in those with RDDI < 62.4%. Conclusions: This model integrating simplified geriatric assessment can risk -stratify older patients with DLBCL and identify those who are highly vulnerable to standard dose -intensity chemoimmunotherapy. | Yhim, Ho-Young; Park, Yong; Kim, Jeong-A; Shin, Ho-Jin; Do, Young Rok; Moon, Joon Ho; Kim, Min Kyoung; Lee, Won Sik; Kim, Dae Sik; Lee, Myung-Won; Choi, Yoon Seok; Jeong, Seong Hyun; Kim, Kyoung Ha; Kim, Jinhang; Lee, Chang-Hoon; Song, Ga-Young; Yang, Deok-Hwan; Kwak, Jae-Yong | Jeonbuk Natl Univ, Res Inst Clin Med, Biomed Res Inst, Med Sch,Dept Internal Med,Jeonbuk Natl Univ Hosp, Jeonju, South Korea; Korea Univ, Coll Med, Anam Hosp, Dept Internal Med, Seoul, South Korea; Catholic Univ Korea, St Vincent Hosp, Dept Internal Med, Suwon, Gyunggi Do, South Korea; Pusan Natl Univ Hosp, Dept Internal Med, Pusan, South Korea; Keimyung Univ, Dongsan Med Ctr, Dept Internal Med, Daegu, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Kyungpook Natl Univ Hosp, Sch Med, Dept Internal Med, Daegu, South Korea; Yeungnam Univ, Coll Med, Med Ctr, Dept Internal Med, Daegu, South Korea; Inje Univ, Busan Paik Hosp, Dept Internal Med, Pusan, South Korea; Korea Univ, Guro Hosp, Coll Med, Dept Internal Med, Seoul, South Korea; Chungnam Natl Univ, Coll Med, Dept Internal Med, Daejeon, South Korea; Ajou Univ, Sch Med, Dept Hematol Oncol, Suwon, South Korea; Soonchunhyang Univ, Coll Med, Dept Internal Med, Seoul, South Korea; Chonnam Natl Univ, Hwasun Hosp, Med Sch, Dept Internal Med, Hwasun, South Korea; Chonnam Natl Univ, Hwasun Hosp, Med Sch, Dept Internal Med, 322 Seoyang Ro, Hwasun 58128, South Korea | Lee, Hwan-Soo/AAO-7583-2021; Kim, Il Young/LLK-4732-2024; Kim, Dae Sik/HTT-1263-2023 | 35785270600; 7405373234; 57204030179; 16239868400; 8960168300; 56568642700; 57206000629; 55556573100; 55742979100; 55890002700; 56658877400; 35310410900; 7409319096; 59114920400; 57216803473; 57193027251; 8701758000; 57204796646 | drydh1685@hotmail.com; | KOREAN JOURNAL OF INTERNAL MEDICINE | KOREAN J INTERN MED | 1226-3303 | 2005-6648 | 39 | 3 | SCIE | MEDICINE, GENERAL & INTERNAL | 2024 | 2.4 | 23.3 | 1.46 | 2025-05-07 | 3 | 3 | Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; Simplified geriatric assessment; Prognosis; Dose intensity; Toxicity | ELDERLY-PATIENTS; R-CHOP; RESPONSE ASSESSMENT; DOSE INTENSITY; SINGLE-ARM; CHEMOTHERAPY; POPULATION; SURVIVAL; FRAILTY; TOOL | Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; Dose intensity; Prognosis; Simplified geriatric assessment; Toxicity | Activities of Daily Living; Age Factors; Aged; Aged, 80 and over; Antineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols; Comorbidity; Decision Support Techniques; Doxorubicin; Female; Frail Elderly; Frailty; Geriatric Assessment; Humans; Lymphoma, Large B-Cell, Diffuse; Male; Predictive Value of Tests; Progression-Free Survival; Prospective Studies; Republic of Korea; Risk Assessment; Risk Factors; Time Factors; cotrimoxazole; cyclophosphamide; doxorubicin; prednisone; rituximab; vincristine; antineoplastic agent; doxorubicin; aged; Article; cancer risk; cancer survival; Charlson Comorbidity Index; clinical outcome; cohort analysis; controlled study; daily life activity; diffuse large B cell lymphoma; event free survival; female; geriatric assessment; geriatric patient; health care need; human; incidence; major clinical study; male; multiple cycle treatment; prediction; prospective study; risk assessment; age; clinical trial; comorbidity; decision support system; frail elderly; frailty; geriatric assessment; mortality; multicenter study; predictive value; progression free survival; risk factor; South Korea; time factor; very elderly | English | 2024 | 2024-05 | 10.3904/kjim.2023.265 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | |
| ○ | ○ | Article | Magnesium from Deep Seawater as a Potentially Effective Natural Product against Insulin Resistance: A Randomized Trial | Background and Objectives: Deep seawater has been shown to restore pancreatic function in obese diabetic mice and considerably improve the homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations in patients with impaired fasting glucose or glucose tolerance. In this study, the effect of 12-week daily consumption of magnesium (Mg2+)-containing deep seawater mineral extracts on blood glucose concentration and insulin metabolism-associated indicators was investigated in patients with impaired glucose tolerance. Materials and methods: In this 12-week randomized, double-blind trial, patients (n = 37) with impaired glucose tolerance consumed deep seawater mineral extracts. Changes in blood glucose concentration and related indicators were compared between the treatment group and placebo group (n = 38). Results: The fasting insulin, C-peptide, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance, quantitative insulin sensitivity check index, homeostatic model assessment of beta-cell function, and Stumvoll insulin sensitivity index values in the deep seawater mineral extract group showed improvements compared with the placebo group. However, no significant differences between groups were observed in fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, or incremental area under the curve values. Conclusions: Oral supplementation with deep seawater mineral extracts enriched in Mg2+ markedly improves insulin sensitivity in patients with pre-diabetes. This study illustrates the potential clinical application of natural Mg2+ from deep seawater to alleviate insulin resistance in patients with pre-diabetes. Trial registration: This trial was retrospectively registered with Clinical Research information Service (CRIS), No. KCT0008695, on 8 August 2023. | Ham, Ji Yeon; Jang, You Kyung; Jeon, Byong Yeob; Shon, Yun Hee | Kyungpook Natl Univ, Chilgok Hosp, Sch Med, Dept Lab Med, 807 Hogukro, Daegu 41404, South Korea; QBM Co Ltd, QBM Res Inst, 7-25 Gangnam Daero 27 Gil, Seoul 06752, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ Hosp, Biomed Res Inst, 135 Dongdukro, Daegu 41940, South Korea | 56464754800; 59589878100; 57211521853; 59792094200 | yhshon@knuh.kr; | MEDICINA-LITHUANIA | MEDICINA-LITHUANIA | 1010-660X | 1648-9144 | 60 | 8 | SCIE | MEDICINE, GENERAL & INTERNAL | 2024 | 2.4 | 23.3 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 0 | 0 | clinical trial; seawater; diabetes mellitus; insulin resistance; magnesium | BETA-CELL FUNCTION; DOUBLE-BLIND; METABOLIC SYNDROME; DIABETES-MELLITUS; DIETARY PATTERNS; SEA WATER; VITAMIN-D; HIGH-FAT; GLUCOSE; SENSITIVITY | clinical trial; diabetes mellitus; insulin resistance; magnesium; seawater | Adult; Aged; Biological Products; Blood Glucose; Dietary Supplements; Double-Blind Method; Female; Humans; Insulin Resistance; Magnesium; Male; Middle Aged; Seawater; biological product; magnesium; sea water; adult; aged; blood; controlled study; dietary supplement; double blind procedure; drug effect; female; glucose blood level; human; insulin resistance; male; middle aged; randomized controlled trial | English | 2024 | 2024-08 | 10.3390/medicina60081265 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||
| ○ | ○ | Article | Medial Rectus Disinsertion for the Management of Large-Angle Sensory Esotropia | Background and Objectives: The aim of the report is to report the outcomes of the medial rectus (MR) disinsertion procedure for the management of large-angle esotropia (ET) patients. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective case series of patients with large-angle ET who underwent an MR disinsertion procedure between March 2012 to April 2022. The procedure happened accidentally during muscle surgery. The demographic and clinical data, including sex, age, visual acuity, pre- and postoperative angle of strabismus, duction limitations, results of intraoperative forced duction tests, and follow-up duration were collected from medical records. Results: Five patients were enrolled in this study. The mean age was 62.2 +/- 9.8 years, and the mean follow-up was 24.8 +/- 8.7 months. The ET at the primary position of gaze was 92.0 +/- 17.9 prism diopters (PD) before MR disinsertion and 38.0 +/- 29.5 PD after MR disinsertion only. Abduction deficiency was -4 before after MR disinsertion, which improved to -1 at the last follow-up. Conclusions: The results of MR disinsertion were not as frustrating as anticipated. MR disinsertion may be considered in patients with large-angle sensory ET who refuse surgery on the opposite eye. | Han, So Young; Chun, Bo Young; Lee, Hye Jin; Kim, Hyun Kyung; Kwon, Mi Sun; Lee, Ho Seok; Rhiu, Soolienah | Sungkyunkwan Univ, Sch Med, Kangbuk Samsung Hosp, Dept Ophthalmol, Seoul 03181, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Med, Dept Ophthalmol, Daegu 41944, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Brain Sci & Engn Inst, Sch Med, Daegu 41944, South Korea; Hallym Univ, Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hosp, Coll Med, Dept Ophthalmol, Chunchon 24253, South Korea; Jeju Natl Univ, Jeju Natl Univ Hosp, Sch Med, Dept Ophthalmol, Jeju 63241, South Korea; Catholic Kwandong Univ, Hangil Eye Hosp, Dept Ophthalmol, Coll Med, Incheon 21388, South Korea; Hallym Univ, Dongtan Sacred Heart Hosp, Coll Med, Dept Ophthalmol, Hwaseong Si 18450, South Korea | 57213728805; 25644902100; 56008815900; 55856172800; 58734575300; 59238831200; 36554769100 | byjun424@hotmail.com;soolienah99@naver.com; | MEDICINA-LITHUANIA | MEDICINA-LITHUANIA | 1010-660X | 1648-9144 | 60 | 7 | SCIE | MEDICINE, GENERAL & INTERNAL | 2024 | 2.4 | 23.3 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 0 | 0 | esotropia; medial rectus disinsertion; strabismus | SURGERY | esotropia; medial rectus disinsertion; strabismus | Aged; Esotropia; Female; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Oculomotor Muscles; Ophthalmologic Surgical Procedures; Retrospective Studies; Treatment Outcome; Visual Acuity; aged; convergent strabismus; extraocular muscle; eye surgery; female; human; male; middle aged; pathophysiology; procedures; retrospective study; surgery; treatment outcome; visual acuity | English | 2024 | 2024-07 | 10.3390/medicina60071104 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||

Materials and Methods: mtCN was analyzed in 43 IBS patients using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Furthermore, data on the clinical characteristics of patients and symptom severity of IBS were collected, and their association with mtCN was analyzed. Results: mtCN was higher in patients with IBS (p = 0.008) and those with a drinking habit (p = 0.004). Smoking and the presence of a sleep partner showed a possible association with mtCN; however, it did not reach significance. The severity of IBS symptoms tended to positively correlate with mtCN (r = 0.279, p = 0.070). Conclusions: Overall, we demonstrated a potential association between mtCN and the clinicopathologic characteristics of patients with IBS. Further studies considering genetic and clinical factors are required. | Jung, Soo-Jung; Lee, Jae-Ho; Lim, Ji-Yeon; Yang, Yun-Yi | Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Med, Dept Physiol, Daegu 41944, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Cell & Matrix Res Inst, Daegu 41944, South Korea; Keimyung Univ, Sch Med, Dept Anat, 1095 Dalgubeol Daero, Daegu 42601, South Korea; Keimyung Univ, Dept Food Sci & Nutr, 1095 Dalgubeol Daero, Daegu 42601, South Korea; Dong Eui Univ, Dept Nursing Healthcare Sci & Human Ecol, Busan 47340, South Korea | Lim, Jiyeon/JCD-5285-2023; Lee, Jae-Ho/I-1935-2019 | 57193347340; 55224798300; 59388074300; 57202741653 | soojung4234@knu.ac.kr;anato82@dsmc.or.kr;ynyn2121@naver.com;yangyunyi@deu.ac.kr; | MEDICINA-LITHUANIA | MEDICINA-LITHUANIA | 1010-660X | 1648-9144 | 60 | 10 | SCIE | MEDICINE, GENERAL & INTERNAL | 2024 | 2.4 | 23.3 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 0 | 1 | irritable bowel syndrome; mitochondrial DNA copy number; mitochondria; mitochondria content | SLEEP; SYSTEM; MTDNA | irritable bowel syndrome; mitochondria; mitochondria content; mitochondrial DNA copy number | Adult; DNA Copy Number Variations; DNA, Mitochondrial; Female; Humans; Irritable Bowel Syndrome; Male; Middle Aged; Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction; Severity of Illness Index; mitochondrial DNA; adult; complication; copy number variation; female; genetics; human; irritable colon; male; middle aged; real time polymerase chain reaction; severity of illness index | English | 2024 | 2024-10 | 10.3390/medicina60101605 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | |
| ○ | ○ | Article | Predictors of Burden for First-Ever Stroke Survivor's Long-Term Caregivers: A Study of KOSCO | Long-term changes in caregiver burden should be clarified considering that extended post-stroke disability can increase caregiver stress. We assessed long-term changes in caregiver burden severity and its predictors. This study was a retrospective analysis of the Korean Stroke Cohort for Functioning and Rehabilitation. Patients with an acute first-ever stroke were enrolled from August 2012 to May 2015. Data were collected at 6 months and 6 years after stroke onset. The caregiver burden was measured with a subjective caregiver burden questionnaire based on the Korean version of the Caregiver Burden Inventory. The caregivers' characteristics and patients' clinical and functional status were also examined at each follow-up. A high caregiver burden, which suggests a risk of burnout, was reported by 37.9% and 51.7% of caregivers at 6 months and 6 years post-stroke, respectively. Both the caregiver burden total score and proportion of caregivers at risk of burnout did not decrease between 6 months and 6 years. The patients' disability (OR = 11.60; 95% CI 1.58-85.08; p = 0.016), caregivers' self-rated stress (OR = 0.03; 95% CI 0.00-0.47; p = 0.013), and caregivers' quality of life (OR = 0.76; 95% CI 0.59-0.99; p = 0.042) were burden predictors at 6 months. At 6 years, only the patients' disability (OR = 5.88; 95% CI 2.19-15.82; p < 0.001) and caregivers' psychosocial stress (OR = 1.26; 95% CI 1.10-1.44; p = 0.001) showed significance. Nearly half of the caregivers were at risk of burnout, which lasted for 6 years after stroke onset. The patients' disability and caregivers' stress were burden predictors in both subacute and chronic phases of stroke. The findings suggest that consistent interventions, such as emotional support or counseling on stress relief strategies for caregivers of stroke survivors, may reduce caregiver burden. Further research is needed to establish specific strategies appropriate for Korean caregivers to alleviate their burden in caring for stroke patients. | Lee, Jin-Won; Sohn, Min Kyun; Lee, Jongmin; Kim, Deog Young; Shin, Yong-Il; Oh, Gyung-Jae; Lee, Yang-Soo; Joo, Min Cheol; Lee, So Young; Han, Junhee; Ahn, Jeonghoon; Kim, Yun-Hee; Song, Min-Keun; Chang, Won Hyuk | Chonnam Natl Univ, Dept Phys & Rehabil Med, Med Sch, Gwangju 61469, South Korea; Chungnam Natl Univ, Coll Med, Dept Rehabil Med, Daejeon 35015, South Korea; Konkuk Univ, Sch Med, Dept Rehabil Med, Seoul 05029, South Korea; Yonsei Univ, Coll Med, Dept & Res Inst Rehabil Med, Seoul 03722, South Korea; Pusan Natl Univ, Sch Med, Pusan Natl Univ Hosp, Dept Rehabil Med, Yangsan 50612, South Korea; Wonkwang Univ, Sch Med, Dept Prevent Med, Iksan 54538, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Kyungpook Natl Univ Hosp, Sch Med, Dept Rehabil Med, Daegu 41944, South Korea; Wonkwang Univ, Sch Med, Dept Rehabil Med, Iksan 54538, South Korea; Jeju Natl Univ, Dept Rehabil Med, Sch Med, Jeju Natl Univ Hosp, Jeju City 63243, South Korea; Hallym Univ, Dept Stat, Chunchon 24252, South Korea; Ewha Womans Univ, Dept Hlth Convergence, Seoul 03760, South Korea; Sungkyunkwan Univ, Heart Vasc Stroke Inst, Ctr Prevent & Rehabil, Samsung Med Ctr,Sch Med,Dept Phys & Rehabil Med, Seoul 06355, South Korea | ; kim, deog young/Q-8498-2019; Ahn, Jeonghoon/CAA-1956-2022; Lee, Jongmin/Q-4909-2019; Chang, Won Hyuk/I-5662-2015; Kim, Yun-Hee/GVS-6426-2022 | 57353131000; 7101840459; 57202882113; 55375583000; 55890990500; 7007056685; 57202952463; 56982599700; 57202327370; 57192890252; 8855402200; 57020121600; 55375416600; 35301717900 | drsongmk@jnu.ac.kr;wh.chang@samsung.com; | MEDICINA-LITHUANIA | MEDICINA-LITHUANIA | 1010-660X | 1648-9144 | 60 | 4 | SCIE | MEDICINE, GENERAL & INTERNAL | 2024 | 2.4 | 23.3 | 4.18 | 2025-05-07 | 6 | 6 | caregiver burden; predictors; long-term care; first-ever stroke; stroke rehabilitation | INFORMAL CAREGIVERS; FAMILY CAREGIVERS; KOREAN VERSION; RELIABILITY; EXPERIENCES; VALIDITY; OUTCOMES; REHABILITATION; DETERMINANTS; VALIDATION | caregiver burden; first-ever stroke; long-term care; predictors; stroke rehabilitation | Adult; Aged; Caregiver Burden; Caregivers; Female; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Quality of Life; Republic of Korea; Retrospective Studies; Stress, Psychological; Stroke; Stroke Rehabilitation; Surveys and Questionnaires; Survivors; adult; aged; caregiver; caregiver burden; cerebrovascular accident; complication; etiology; female; human; male; mental stress; middle aged; psychology; quality of life; questionnaire; retrospective study; South Korea; stroke rehabilitation; survivor | English | 2024 | 2024-04 | 10.3390/medicina60040559 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 |
