It has been associated with allergy to dialyzers and exaggerated activation of complement during hemodialysis. Its etiology, however, remains unknown. In addition, there are not enough studies on eosinophilia in patients on hemodialysis in Korea. Therefore, we performed this retrospective study to find out the prevalence and possible etiologic factors of blood eosinophilia in patients undergoing hemodialysis.Methods: Between January 2013 to December 2015, the patients hospitalized for hemodialysis at Soonchunhyang University Hospital and National Health Insurance Service Medical Center (Ilsan Hospital) were included in this study. Eosinophilia was defined when absolute eosinophil count was greater than 500/μL, respectively. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients about parasite infection, other malignancies, and history of kidney transplantation.Results: Of the 2,155 patients hospitalized for hemodialysis at two centers, 1,057 patients (49%) were found to have eosinophilia. We investigated 1,199 patients’ information (Soonchunhyang University Hospital) by the medical records. Two hundred two patients (16.8%) had no identifiable and/or possible causes. Only two patients complained of symptoms such as itching. Steroids were administered to control symptoms, and both patients had normal eosinophil levels, and steroids were discontinued. Other patients did not complain of specific symptoms associated with eosinophilia and did not take medication such as steroids. Eosinophilia was improved in 49% of patients without special treatments.Conclusion: We found that the eosinophil counts in patients with end stage renal disease on hemodialysis were frequently elevated. However, in most cases, eosinophilia was not clinically relevant.","PeriodicalId":22016,"journal":{"name":"Soonchunhyang Medical Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82265065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Korea, rapid growth of obesity prevalence in adult men is a one of the biggest health problems. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential association between body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and PSA.Methods: We calculated BMI and WC of a total of 25,603 males who visited the Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital Health Promotion Center from January 2016 to December 2020. This was categorized as follows: BMI < 23 kg/m2 (normal), 23 kg/m2 ≤ BMI < 25 kg/m2 (overweight), BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 (obesity) and WC < 90 cm (normal), WC ≥ 90 cm (abdominal obesity). We analyzed the association between BMI, WC and PSA.Results: The mean PSA value was 1.08 ng/mL, 1.03 ng/mL, and 0.97 ng/mL at normal, overweight, and obesity group, respectively. The mean PSA value was 1.04 ng/mL and 0.96 ng/mL at normal and abdominal obesity group. Thus, the mean PSA value decreased with an increase in BMI and WC category (P < 0.001). The correlation coefficient between BMI, WC and PSA was -0.055, -0.044 and they were statistically significant (P < 0.001).Conclusion: We observed a significant negative correlation between BMI, WC and PSA value. Therefore, PSA value should be considered in relation to BMI and WC.","PeriodicalId":22016,"journal":{"name":"Soonchunhyang Medical Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87035265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we investigated whether quantitative indices of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in calcified lesions are correlated with the late outcome of a coronary stent.Methods: We consecutively enrolled patients who had more than grade 2 coronary calcification on fluoroscopy. OCT was performed at baseline, immediately after stenting, and at 9 months after stenting. We analyzed qualitative and quantitative characteristics of plaque, calcification, and stent-related indices.Results: All images of 3-time points were available in a total of 10 patients. Calcified lesions were frequently associated with thin cap fibroatheroma (100%), plaque erosion (20%), or rupture (20%) before the procedure. Thrombus was found in 100% of cases in the OCT immediately after stenting. Maximal calcium area before stenting was strongly correlated with late luminal loss assessed by 9-month follow-up OCT (r= 0.766, P= 0.01).Conclusion: Preprocedural OCT assessment on calcified coronary lesion may predict high-risk procedure and late stent outcome. Further studies are warranted to confirm these findings.","PeriodicalId":22016,"journal":{"name":"Soonchunhyang Medical Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83498591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between HRV and metabolic syndrome among Korean adults.Methods: We included 6,945 people who visited the Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital Health Examination Center and tested HRV, from March 2016 to November 2019. Among them, 6,827 subjects were included. We excluded those who had a history of hypertension, diabetes, stroke, or other disease and excluded them from the omission of questionnaires. We examined HRV with machine WISE-8000 (MooYoo Instruments, Seongnam, Korea) and divided three groups of HRV results. The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome was made using criteria modified National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III. Logistic regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratios between HRV results and metabolic syndrome.Results: The odds ratio for metabolic syndrome in low HRV result was 2.87 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.87–3.34) compared with high HRV result. After adjustment for age, smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity, the odds ratio for metabolic syndrome in low HRV result was also 3.37 (95% CI, 2.44–4.65) compared with high HRV result.Conclusion: Low HRV result using WISE-8000 (MooYoo Instruments) showed an increased risk for metabolic syndrome.

Preoperative and perioperative variables were evaluated to identify predictive factors for favorable outcome after surgical treatment for BPH.Results: At 3 months postoperative after HoLEP or TURP, the median decrease in IPSS was 13.0. Patients whose IPSS decreased by over 13 points were categorized into a favorable response group after HoLEP or TURP. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of favorable outcomes at 3 months after HoLEP or TURP, and the preoperative IPSS was identified as an independent predictor for favorable outcomes. Conclusions: When young urologists plan to perform surgical treatment for BPH, they should consider that the severity of symptoms is the most important factor for favorable outcomes. The type of surgical modality for managing BPH is less important.
