본 연구에서는 산채식물들을 이용한 새로운 기능성 소재의 개발에 우선하여 생산량과 소비량이 비교적 양호한 산채류 7종 즉, 물엉겅퀴, 쇠무릅, 울릉미역취, 섬고사리, 서덜취, 눈개승마 및 쇠비름을 선정하여 각 부위별 메탄올추출물을 제조한 후 이들의 항산화 활성을 검색하였다. 총 폴리페놀성 화합물의 함량은 $16.7...

HA/CMC instillation during EIU may decrease the incidence of urethral stricture recurrence. In addition, the use of HA/CMC was effective in reducing pain during the early postoperative period without an adverse effect.

Lifestyle risk behaviors are intercorrelated in Korea. Information on patterns of lifestyle risk behaviors could assist in planning interventions targeted at multiple behaviors simultaneously.

An analysis of the uncertainty quantification related to LBLOCA using the Monte-Carlo calculation has been performed and compared with the tolerance level determined by the Wilks’ formula. The uncertainty range and distribution of each input parameter associated with the LOCA phenomena were determined based on previous PIRT results and documentation during the BEMUSE project. Calulations were conducted on 3,500 cases within a 2-week CPU time on a 14-PC cluster system. The Monte-Carlo exercise sh

In the urological field, LESS surgery using a homemade single-port device appears to be a feasible and safe surgical treatment option that could replace conventional laparoscopic surgery.

The selection of an appropriate surgical modality for BPH should be assessed by fully understanding each patient's clinical conditions.

This prospective study evaluated the safety of tadalafil 5 mg taken once a day in terms of hypotensive side effects and whether it improves lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and restores sexual function in patients with erectile dysfunction who are receiving concomitant α-blocker (AB) therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). A total of 158 LUTS/BPH patients receiving AB therapy for ≥3 months were given tadalafil 5 mg once a day. Before treatment with tadalafil (V1), and 4 weeks (V2) and

PURPOSE: The objectives of this study were to evaluate whether morphologic differences correlated with urodynamic and clinical characteristics in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) of trilobar or bilobar adenoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 2008 and June 2009, 72 male patients who had undergone transurethral resection (TUR) owing to BPH with IPP were included in this study. They underwent preoperative urodynamic studies, the I

This paper describes the radio transceiver for Bluetooth application operating at 2.4 GHz ISM band. The transceiver uses low cost CMOS technology and integrates all components including PLL. Only RF matching elements and bypassing capacitors for power supply stability are required for a complete transceiver. The proposed transceiver is implemented with 0.25 μm CMOS process and draws 60 mA from 2.7 V supply in receiver active mode.

PURPOSE: We evaluated the usefulness of laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) ureterolithotomy with a homemade single port device for upper ureteral stones in patients in whom previous shockwave lithotripsy or ureteroscopic stone surgery had failed or the stone was suspected to be impacted. PATIENTS AND METHODS: LESS ureterolithotomy was performed on 30 patients by using a homemade single port device composed of an Alexis wound retractor and surgical glove. The mean age of the patients was 42.47±1

HSP27 expression increased depending on the prostate cancer cell line. This meant that HSP27 expression was related to the prostate cancer malignancy level. Additionally, the higher the treatment concentration in PC-3 was, the higher the HSP27 expression was. This result showed that doxazosin induced apoptosis of prostate cancer.
