Bioaugmentation strategies, leveraging M. trichosporium OB3b could significantly enhance PHB production and foster the enrichment of PHB-accumulating methanotrophs in activated sludge. These findings contribute to integrating PHB production in wastewater treatment plants, providing a sustainable solution for resource recovery.

Purpose: We aimed to investigate the extent of heterogeneity in medical terminology between South and North Korea by comparing medical terms related to the colorectal system. Methods: North Korean medical terms were collected from the sections on diseases of the small intestine and colon in a surgery textbook from North Korea, and those terms were compared with their corresponding terms in a South Korean medical terminology textbook. The terms were categorized as either identical, similar, showi

The study suggests that clinical outcomes in pediatric SBS patients can vary depending on underlying etiology and anatomical type, indicating that tailored interventions might enhance patient outcomes. Further research is needed to identify independent prognostic factors for SBS and improve the quality of life of SBS children.

Purpose: Biliary atresia (BA) is a rare but progressive cholangiopathy and the leading cause of pediatric liver transplantation worldwide.The Korean Association of Pediatric Surgeons (KAPS) has conducted three national surveys (2001, 2011, and 2023) to assess long-term trends in the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of BA.This study provides a comparative analysis of the 2nd and 3rd national surveys, with reference to selected findings from the 1st survey.Methods: This study included 453 patien

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe inflammatory disorder of the intestine that affects neonatal babies, with a mortality rate of 30-50%. Despite the severe nature of the disease, its rare incidence and early onset prevent further understanding of its etiology and the development of treatment strategies. To further understand the pathogenic mechanism of this disease, we subjected intestinal tissues from ten NEC patients and three control individuals to RNA-sequencing. Clustering of the a

Pediatric intestinal perforation is a surgical emergency that must be promptly addressed regardless of the specific cause.Here we report a case of colon perforation caused by indeterminate inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in an autistic 13-year-old boy.Ulcerative colitis (UC) and lymphoma were first suspected but subsequently ruled out.The patient was previously hospitalized locally for 8 days due to diarrhea.He was diagnosed with UC and colon perforation in the emergency room.He then underwent
