Complete Genome Sequences of Two Apple Stem Grooving Viruses in Cnidium officinale in Korea.

We determined the whole-genome sequences of two apple stem grooving viruses (ASGV) detected in infected plants. The analyzed ASGV genomes were 6,494 nucleotides long and encoded two overlapping open reading frames. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the two ASGV isolates to be most closely related to the ASGV isolate Xinjiang-3.

A Case of Vesicular Mycosis Fungoides.

A 44-year-old male presented with 7 months history of nonpruritic round oozing plaques on the extremities and red papules on the trunk. The lesions were resistant to topical and oral steroid prescribed at the other local clinics. Histopathological examination showed parakeratosis with acanthosis and rete ridge elongation as well as spongiotic intraepidermal blisters and dense dermal infiltration of small to medium sized atypical lymphoid cells.

Characterization of Extended-Spectrum Cephalosporin (ESC) Resistance in Isolated from Chicken and Identification of High Frequency Transfer of Gene Harboring Plasmid In Vitro and In Vivo.

A total of 136 isolates from chicken feces and meat samples of the top 12 integrated chicken production companies throughout Korea were collected. Among the 17 ESC-resistant ; was the most prevalent gene and two strains carried / and , respectively. The transferable gene was carried by IncFII plasmid in three isolates and the gene carried by IncI1 plasmid in one isolate.

A case of porokeratotic adnexal ostial nevus misdiagnosed as wart.

Porokeratotic adnexal ostial nevus may be misdiagnosed as wart based on clinical appearance and morphology. An accurate diagnosis through skin biopsy is crucial, as is the inclusion of rare disorders such as porokeratotic adnexal ostial nevus in the differential diagnosis.

Longitudinal Study of the Distribution of Antimicrobial-Resistant Isolates from an Integrated Broiler Chicken Operation.

The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance, and genetic diversity of isolates that were obtained from whole chicken production stages in Korea. A total of 1348 samples were collected from 10 production lines. The prevalence of in breeder farm, broiler farm, slaughterhouse, and retail meat products was 50.

Oncologic and obstetric outcomes of conservative surgery for borderline ovarian tumors in women of reproductive age.

Objective: To compare the oncologic and obstetric outcomes in reproductive-age females with borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) treated with cyst enucleation (CE) or unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (USO).

Methods: The medical records of patients with BOTs treated between 1998 and 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. The recurrence rates in the USO and CE groups were compared, and the postoperative obstetric outcomes were assessed via telephone survey.
