Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAnalysis of the Utility of MPT64, Drug Susceptibility Testing and Tuberculosis/Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction for Tuberculosis Diagnosis and Efficiency Compared with Traditional CultureHo Keun Choi, Ga Yeon Kim, Tae Soung Kim, Jae Kyung KimDefining the molecular mechanisms underlying the dormant state of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is essential for developing more effective treatments for tuberculosis (TB) infection. We investigated the positivity and resistance rates of TB tests on 6,174 samples referred to a single hospital. Of these, 342 cases (5.5%) were confirmed as positive by acid-fast bacilli staining, 243 cases (71.1%) were detected as … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2024 · 4,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPrevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections in Republic of Korea: Impacts of Sex, Age, and Testing MethodHyeok-Jin Kwon, Sun-Gyu Kim, Junmin Lee et al.The prevalence of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) is increasing globally, necessitating a quick and accurate diagnosis method for appropriate treatment selection. An analysis of venereal diseases conducted at U2Bio (Jangwon Medical Foundation, Seoul, Republic of Korea) over a 2-year period showed that Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infection rates were related to sex, age, and specimen type. We … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 29 Oct 2024 · 5,023 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Comparative Analysis of TSH Levels between Patients with Normal Sinus Rhythm and those with Atrial FibrillationJi Yeon Chang, Jae Kyung Kim, Seung Hee HongAtrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent persistent cardiac arrhythmia observed within the general population and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Despite the rising global prevalence of AF, the majority of existing studies have primarily focused on white populations. For that reason, we have used a Korean hospital patient's blood test results to examine the link between AF … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 30 Jul 2024 · 4,482 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPrevalence of Diarrhea-Causing Pathogens in South Korea Analyzed Using Molecular Diagnostic MethodsYonghee Lee, Jae Kyung KimGastrointestinal inflammation remains a prevalent global health concern. Prompt and accurate diagnosis of the condition is required to mitigate health risks in immunocompromised individuals and alleviate the economic burden linked to treatment and pathogen isolation. Challenges posed by traditional culture tests, such as long detection time and inability to isolate low-abundance organisms, can be overcome using molecular diagnostic methods, which … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 25 Jul 2024 · 5,012 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesTrends in the Causes of Meningitis/Encephalitis Analyzed Using the BioFire FilmArray PanelYoung Jun Hong, Bo Kyeung Jung, Jae Kyung KimCerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) infections can be caused by various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Therefore, accurate and timely detection of infectious agents is critical for the effective treatment of CSF infections. The FilmArray Meningitis/Encephalitis (M/E) panel is a potential complementary diagnostic tool for detecting CSF pathogens. The aim of this study was to identify trends in the causes of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 25 Jul 2024 · 4,887 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesCytokine Expression During the Early Response of A549 Cells to Infection with Influenza Virus, Alphacoronavirus and BetacoronavirusQian Wen Wang, Jae Kyung KimThe escalating incidence of coronavirus infections underscores the critical need for a comprehensive understanding of the differential impacts of Human Coronaviruses (HCoVs) belonging to the Alphacoronavirus and Betacoronavirus genera. This study investigated the varying effects of HCoV-229E (Alphacoronavirus), HCoV-OC43 (Betacoronavirus), and influenza A virus subtype H3N2 on A549 cell viability and cytokine expression. Results showed that H3N2 triggered a more … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 6 Jul 2024 · 4,556 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesFunctional Evaluation of Polydioxanone Threads Coated with Polyethylene Glycol and Amino Acids for Medical ApplicationEunji Park, Tae Su Jang, Jae Kyung KimPolydioxanone (PDO) is a biodegradable polymer with multiple medical applications. Recently, various coatings have been applied to products made of biodegradable polymers, in order to improve functionality. Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) hydrogels have demonstrated remarkable potential in accelerating wound healing and amino acids have been reported to stimulate protein synthesis in vivo and in vitro.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAn Observational Study on the Prevalence of Sexually Transmitted Infections in Cheonan from 2017 to 2021Sun Jung Lee, Tae Su Jang, Jae Kyung KimAlthough the global incidence of sexually transmitted infections is increasing annually, there are few studies in Cheonan that have analyzed the frequency of infection by individual bacterial species by age since 2017. Therefore, in this observational study, we investigated trends in sexually transmitted infections in Cheonan, South Korea, since 2017. From January 2017 to November 2021, 3,297 specimens were obtained … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 17 Apr 2024 · 6,323 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAnalysis of Plasma Amyloid-Beta and Apolipoprotein E Genotypes as Markers of Alzheimer’s Disease in Healthy Korean AdultsEun Ju Oh, Jung Jae Lee, Bo Kyeung Jung, Jae Kyung KimThe presence of the ApoE4 allele interferes with human Amyloid-Beta (Aβ) clearance and reduces the neuronal damage response, which, in turn, is associated with increased Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) risk. Identifying individuals with the highest genetic risk may aid clinical AD diagnosis and prognosis. However, to the best of our knowledge, no previous study has performed blood-based analysis of ApoE polymorphisms … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2024 · 4,495 accessesView PDFCite
