The rising prevalence of osteoporosis, which can lead to osteoporotic fractures, increases morbidity, mortality, and socioeconomic burden. Multiple factors influencing bone mass have already been identified. The aim of this study was to investigate whether exercise habits and weight-control behaviors can lower the incidence of osteoporosis in the general population.

Article Synopsis
- Bronchiectasis often coexists with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the interaction between them is not well understood; this study investigated the clinical influence of COPD on bronchiectasis patients over a 10-year period.
- The study analyzed 66 patients, where 32% had COPD, revealing that those with COPD had a higher bronchiectasis extent score and reported more frequent sputum production, although the difference was not significant after three years.
- The findings indicate that while COPD worsens bronchiectasis severity and chronic colonization, it doesn't significantly affect the long-term treatment approaches like inhaled corticosteroids for both groups.
Acute Kidney Injury in Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation Performed with Different Methods of Inferior Vena Cava Clamping Maneuvers.
Transplant Proc
November 2020
Department of Anesthesiology, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Electronic address:
Objective: The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate and compare the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI), defined as increase serum creatinine (SCr) of 0.3 mg/dl or increase in SCr to ≥1.5 times from baseline within 48 hour, in adult living donor liver transplantation patients performed with total cross clamp vs side clamp of the inferior vena cava (IVC).

Transplant Proc
November 2020
Department of Anesthesiology, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Electronic address:
Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the changes in serum sodium levels in adult recipients with and without hyponatremia undergoing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) without using hypertonic solution.
Methods: Patients were divided into 2 groups according to serum sodium level higher (GI) or lower (GII) than 130 mEq/L. The changes of serum sodium levels during an LDLT procedure and total sodium loads were compared between groups by using the Mann-Whitney U test, while the changes in the same group were paired by using the Student t test.
Correlation Between Changes in End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide Concentration and Cardiac Output During Inferior Vena Cava Clamping and Unclamping in Living-donor Liver Transplantation.
Transplant Proc

Department of Anesthesiology, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Electronic address:
Background: To test the hypothesis that low end-tidal carbon dioxide tension encountered during anhepatic phase in liver transplantation is related to hemodynamic status rather than ventilatory status, and can be used to predict the change in cardiac output during anhepatic phase.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed and compared data, included end-tidal carbon dioxide tension (ETCO2), arterial blood pressure, heart rate, central venous pressure, cardiac output, cardiac index, and stroke volume, before and after inferior vena cava clamping, and 0, 5, 10, 30 minutes during the anhepatic, and 5 minutes after the release of IVC cross clamp during the reperfusion phase, with paired Student t test, repeated measurement, and linear regression.

Transitional Study of Patient-Controlled Analgesia Morphine With Ketorolac to Patient-Controlled Analgesia Morphine With Parecoxib Among Donors in Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A Single-Center Experience.
Transplant Proc
May 2016
Department of Anesthesiology, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Electronic address:
Background: In this study, as our center transitions from using patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) morphine with intravenous (IV) ketorolac to PCA morphine with IV parecoxib, the two regimens are compared in terms of quality of pain control.
Methods: Post-operative pain management sheets were collected retrospectively among the living donors of liver transplantation during this transitional period. Group parecoxib was given plain PCA morphine.
Preoperative Portal Vein Velocity/Size and Effect on Living Donor Liver Transplantation Recipient Hemodynamics During Inferior Vena Cava Clamping.
Transplant Proc
May 2016
Department of Anesthesiology, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Electronic address:
Background: The aim of this study is to determine whether preoperative portal vein flow velocity or size has any correlative effect on hemodynamic changes during clamping of the inferior vena cava in liver transplantation.
Patients And Methods: A total of 42 anesthesia charts of adult patients who underwent living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) were analyzed and compared retrospectively. Preoperative portal vein (PV) flow velocity and sizes were obtained using Doppler ultrasound.
The effectiveness and impact of 10 gram glucose and 10 units insulin in treating hyperkalemia during living donor liver transplantation.

Departments of Anesthesiology, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Background: The aim of this retrospective observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness and impact on glycemia of the administration of 10 gram glucose and 10 units insulin in treating hyperkalemia during living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).
Methods: In LDLT, patients whose serum potassium exceeded 5.4 mEq/L and were treated with 10 gram glucose and 10 U regular insulin were included in this study.
The change of respiratory compliance before and after removal of ascites in living donor liver transplantation.

April 2014
Department of Anesthesiology, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Electronic address:
Background: The study's purpose was to evaluate the effects of total removal of the asictes through laparotomy on the lung function of adult patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation.
Basis Procedure: One hundred eleven patients were reviewed retrospectively. Patients were grouped into 3 groups: GI had ascites <1000 mL, GII between 1000 and 4000 mL, and GIII >4000 mL.
