Fat-1 transgenic mice with a n-3 PUFA self-synthesis capability exert protective effects against STZ-induced β-cell death by activating autophagy in β-cells.

BACKGROUND: With an aging population, the number of elderly individuals exposed to traumatic injuries is increasing. The elderly age criterion for traumatic injuries has been inconsistent in the literature. This study aimed at specifying the elderly age criterion when the traumatic mortality rate increases. METHODS: This is a multicenter retrospective cohort study that was conducted utilizing the data from the Emergency Department-based Injury In-depth Surveillance Registry of the Korea Disease

<b>Objectives:</b> The food delivery market is growing rapidly. As most delivery riders use motorcycles, motorcycle crashes will increase along with the growing delivery market size. This study aimed at examining the proportions of motorcycle crashes and characteristics of injuries incurred while using motorcycles for occupational purposes.<b>Methods:</b> This retrospective analysis included motorcycle crash patients aged 16 years or older, who were treated in 23 emergency rooms in Korea, betwee

There were no significant differences in clinical outcomes between both groups except for high risk of target lesion revascularization in multivessel revascularization group.

OBJECTIVES: To develop new nomograms by adding ECG changes (ST depression or tall T wave) and age to three conventional scoring systems, namely, World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) scale, Hunt and Hess (HH) system and Fisher scale, that can predict prognosis in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) using our preliminary research results and to perform external validation of the three new nomograms. DESIGN: Retrospective, observational study SETTING: Emergency departments (E

Central obesity, represented by WHR, was associated with poor clinical outcomes in NSTEMI patients undergoing PCI, particularly among women.

Even though the pluripotent adult stem cells were recently identified in the several organs of the various species, their exact location are not discovered yet. It is important to find the sites which have the stem cells that could be differentiated to various types of cells. In our previous study, we found novel corpuscle‐like structures which are so called Bonghan corpuscles on the organ‐surfaces and they are connected to various organs by threadlike ducts. We hypothesized that Bonghan corpusc

The majority of patients with type 2 DM (diabetes mellitus) are obese and suffer from eating disorders; Recently developed Exendin-4 is known to reduce appetite and to have a weight loss benefit without experiencing hypoglycemia which can be caused by physiological insulin secretion. Therefore, the authors aim to examine the effects of Exendin-4 on the body composition of obese type 2 DM patients. 5 ug of Exendin-4 was initially administered to type 2 DM patients whose BMI (body mass index) was
