<P><B>Purpose</B></P> <P>Intraoral removal of submandibular sialoliths is a surgical technique for the treatment of sialolithiasis and is reported to have excellent outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors leading to complications of this procedure.</P> <P><B>Patients and Methods</B></P> <P>The medical records of 200 patients who had undergone intraoral removal of sialoliths from January 2006 through June 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. A telephone survey was used to check postoperative symptoms. Dry mouth, wound infection, lingual nerve dysfunction, and recurrence were considered complications. Computed tomograms of the neck were reviewed for location, shape, number, and size of the stone.</P> <P><B>Results</B></P> <P>Forty-four patients reported a complication. The incidence of complications was significantly higher in patients with stones in the proximal region of the salivary duct (proximal group) than in those with middle or distally located stones (middle/distal group; <I>P</I> < .05). The average stone size was larger in the proximal group; the operation time and length of admission also were longer in the proximal group, with a statistically significant difference (<I>P</I> < .05). Complaints of lingual nerve dysfunction were significantly higher in the proximal group than in the middle/distal group (<I>P</I> < .05).</P> <P><B>Conclusion</B></P> <P>Patients with proximally located stones had more complications, especially lingual nerve dysfunction, than those with middle or distally located stones. The former group also required a longer operation time and hospital stay.</P>

The task force of the Korean Society for Reproductive Immunology recommends intravenous immunoglobulin G treatment in women with reproductive failure, including recurrent pregnancy loss and/or repeated implantation failure, who show cellular immune factors such as abnormal natural killer cell levels, natural killer cell cytotoxicity, and/or type 1 T helper immunity.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted the medical, social, and reproductive health of millions of people since its outbreak. The causative virus transmits, reproduces, and manifests through the respiratory tract. COVID-19 can invade any system of the body, including the cardiovascular and endocrine systems, through a secondary immune response. In particular, because the fatality rate is high in those over the age of 50 years, special attention is required during the medical care of this population. However, considering the benefit of therapy and the risk of COVID-19, high-quality evidence regarding individualized management in relation to hormone therapy is still insufficient in the field of gynecology. Furthermore, this review aims to serve as a reference for clinical application by analyzing and summarizing the results of studies reported to date regarding female hormone therapy in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background/Aims: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with acute respiratory syndrome. The mechanisms underlying the different degrees of pneumonia severity in patients with COVID-19 remain elusive. This study provides evidence that COVID-19 is associated with eosinophil-mediated inflammation. Methods: We performed a retrospective case series of three patients with laboratory and radiologically confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia admitted to Chosun University Hospital. Demographic and clinical data on inflammatory cell lung infiltration and cytokine levels in patients with COVID-19 were collected. Results: Cytological analysis of sputum, tracheal aspirates, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples from all three patients revealed massive infiltration of polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs), such as eosinophils and neutrophils. All sputum and BALF specimens contained high levels of eosinophil cationic proteins. The infiltration of PMNs into the lungs, together with elevated levels of natural killer T (NKT) cells in BALF and peripheral blood samples from patients with severe pneumonia in the acute phase was confirmed by flow cytometry. Conclusions: These results suggest that the lungs of COVID-19 patients can exhibit eosinophil-mediated inflammation, together with an elevated NKT cell response, which is associated with COVID-19 pneumonia.
