Professor Jin-Bae Kim's research lab focuses on vascular biology, regenerative medicine, and nanotoxicology, with a strong emphasis on translational applications. The lab investigates endothelial dysfunction and vascular repair mechanisms using noninvasive methods like RH-PAT, explores the therapeutic potential of human tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hTMSCs) in regenerative therapies, and examines the biological and environmental impacts of nanomaterials—particularly silver nanoparticles—in consumer products. The lab also studies diabetic vascular complications and drug-induced liver injury, aiming to understand underlying mechanisms and improve clinical outcomes.
Figures are computed from collected data and may differ slightly.
Assessment of RH-PAT could be a less operator-dependent and noninvasive method of evaluating vascular endothelial function in patients with stable angina.
We conclude that turbinate size does not affect the characterization, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation potential of hTMSCs in vitro test, and therefore should not affect the clinical decision of whether to use autologous or allogenic hTMSCs. However, more experiments are required to definitively state the relationship of hTMSCs with turbinate size or the process NSD in humans.
Alagebrium treatment in diabetic rats significantly inhibits neointimal hyperplasia after carotid balloon injury due to its inhibition of intracellular ROS synthesis, which results in inhibition of RASMCs proliferation.
Increasing use of nanomaterials for consumer products has induced growing concerns on their adverse effects on human health and the environment. To assess the environmental and human health risks of these nanoproducts, it is essential to identify physicochemical forms and quantify the amount of nanomaterials released from nanoproducts upon exposure to various environments. In this study, we have investigated the release assessment of nano-Ag textile products in terms of the total Ag content, and
Recently, acute toxic liver injury has been the most common cause of acute hepatitis in Korea. Prescribed drugs and herbs or plant products are equally important etiologic agents of toxic liver injury. However, etiologic difference may not affect clinical courses or outcomes. A nationwide investigation of the hepatotoxicity of drugs, herbs or other plant products is required.
Recurrence of advanced polyp is very rare within one year after polypectomy. Patients with single polyp have low risk and thus, their surveillance may be delayed beyond the standard 3 years. When surveillance colonoscopy is to be performed for the patients with 2 or more polyps, initial polyp number and age should be considered.
<TEX>$Li^+$</TEX> and <TEX>$H^+$</TEX> co-exchanged LSXs (Li-H-LSX) with various ratios of <TEX>$Li^+$</TEX> and <TEX>$H^+$</TEX> were prepared, and those adsorption characteristics of nitrogen and oxygen were compared with Li-Na-LSX and Li-Ca-LSX. Li-H-LSX showed higher nitrogen capacity and selectivity than that of Li-Na-LSX in the wide range of Li-exchanged ratio. The nitrogen capacity of Li-Ca-LSX was slightly higher than that of fully Li- or Ca-exchanged LSX (Li- LSX or Ca-LSX). However, Li
MC could be a useful marker to support clinical diagnosis of GERD. White mucosal turbidity in particular might be a GERD-specific sign related to acid-induced mucosal damage.
Our findings showed that DOACs were more cost-effective than warfarin in non-valvular AF patients with intermediate stroke risk.
