Research ArticleOpen accessTrends 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 · 4,884 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAnalysis 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 · 4,492 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessThe Underestimated Prevalence of Ureaplasma Infections: A Comprehensive Epidemiological Study in South Korea (2018-2020)Jae Eun Choi, Bo Kyeung Jung, Eun Ju Oh, Jae Kyung KimUreaplasma infections are frequently underestimated due to potential inaccuracies in data collection from symptomatic patients. This study aimed to accurately assess the prevalence of Ureaplasma Urealyticum (UU) and Ureaplasma Parvum (UP) infections among outpatients aged 0-70 years in South Korea between 2018 and 2020. A total of 59,381 clinical samples, including swabs and urine specimens, were collected and analyzed using … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2024 · 6,130 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessDiagnostic Potential of Inflammatory Biomarker Levels in the Serum of Patients with Hepatitis B Infection: A Retrospective StudyHyeokjun Yun, Bo Kyeung Jung, In Soo Rheem et al.This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic biomarker potential of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Procalcitonin (PCT) levels in the serum of individuals infected with the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV). The patients were divided into two age groups: Younger (<60 years) and older (≥60 years). An Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay (ECLIA) platform was employed for the serological analysis to quantify the biomarker levels. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 10 Aug 2023 · 5,270 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAssessment of Thyroid Hormone Level Alterations in Hepatitis B-Positive Serum Using a Quantitative Immunofluorescence Assay: A Randomized Controlled TrialHyeokjun Yun, Bo Kyeung Jung et al.This retrospective study aimed to assess the differences in serum biomarker levels, specifically thyroid hormone (free T4 and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone [TSH]) levels, according to the presence or absence of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection. Using a quantitative immunofluorescence assay, we analyzed serum samples from patients with confirmed HBV infection at Dankook University Hospital in Cheonan Province, Republic of Korea, between … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 31 Jul 2023 · 5,030 accessesView PDF Cite
