Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on the relationship between the serum uric acid/creatinine (sUA/sCr) ratio and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Korean adults, using health checkup data from 16,666 individuals aged 20 and older.
- - Analysis showed that higher sUA/sCr levels were associated with increased severity of NAFLD, with odds ratios indicating a significant correlation between sUA/sCr ratio and the presence of fatty liver disease.
- - The sUA/sCr ratio demonstrated moderate sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing NAFLD, with results varying slightly based on the severity of the disease.
Background/objectives: Recent studies showed vitamin D deficiency is linked to chronic diseases in addition to skeletal metabolism which could threaten the elderly. We analyzed health conditions and socio-demographic factors associated with vitamin D deficiency in community dwelling people aged 65 years and older.
Subjects/method: Data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2010 to 2012 were obtained.
Ingenol mebutate in low amounts for the treatment of actinic keratosis in Korean patients.
Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol
March 2017
Background: Ingenol mebutate (IM), a novel agent for field therapy of actinic keratosis (AK), has a drawback of inducing local skin reactions (LSRs), which may cause discomfort in patients. To reduce the LSRs, we tried the application of IM in low amounts.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to review Korean patients with AK being treated with IM and evaluate the LSRs and therapeutic outcomes of low amounts of IM.
Purpose: The environmental factors human rhinoviruses (HRVs) and house dust mites (HDMs) are the most common causes of acute exacerbations of asthma. The aim of this study was to compare the chemokine production induced by HRVs in airway epithelial cells with that induced by other respiratory viruses, and to investigate synergistic interactions between HRVs and HDMs on the induction of inflammatory chemokines in vitro.
Methods: A549 human airway epithelial cells were infected with either rhinovirus serotype 7, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-A2 strain, or adenovirus serotype 3 and analyzed for interleukin (IL)-8 and regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) release and mRNA expression.
