2017 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Taiwan (ICCE-TW) > 131 - 132

2017 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Taiwan (ICCE-TW)

This paper presented an implementation of indoor environmental data collection with the localization module. Since where the environmental data is collected can be known, the distribution of the environmental data in an indoor environment would be presented. The small and light weight sensors are employed here and equipped on a mobile platform such that the mobile platform can freely cruise in the...

Malignant ventricular arrhythmias after off-pump coronary artery bypass

Jeng-Wei Chen, Cheng-Hsin Lin, Ron-Bin Hsu

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association > 2015 > 114 > 10 > 936-942

Sustained ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) are rare complications after coronary surgery. Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) was developed to decrease postoperative complications. No studies to date have specifically addressed VT/VF after OPCAB. We sought to assess the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of VT/VF after OPCAB.The study included a retrospective review...

Mechanisms of early and delayed stroke after systematic off-pump coronary artery bypass

Jeng-Wei Chen, Cheng-Hsin Lin, Ron-Bin Hsu

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association > 2015 > 114 > 10 > 988-994

Stroke is one of the most devastating complications after cardiac surgery. Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) has been reported to offer a lower risk of stroke. However, limited information was available on timing and mechanisms of stroke after OPCAB. We sought to assess the incidence, timing, and mechanisms of stroke after OPCAB.A retrospective review of 1010 patients undergoing systematic OPCAB...

Chi‐Sheng Hung, Hung‐Yuan Li, Ching‐Hua Kuo, Mao‐Shin Lin, more

Clinical Endocrinology > 83 > 4 > 483 - 489

Background Noninvasive stress tests for the diagnosis of significant coronary arterial stenosis requiring intervention are not perfect. We investigated whether plasma metabolome during the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) can improve the diagnosis. Methods A total of 117 subjects with positive stress test results who received coronary angiography were recruited. After excluding subjects with...

Wen-Ya Ma, Tse-Ya Yu, Jung-Nan Wei, Chi-Sheng Hung, more

Clinica Chimica Acta > 2014 > 435 > Complete > 18-23

Apelin regulates insulin sensitivity and secretion in animals. However, whether plasma apelin predicts incident diabetes in humans remains unknown.We studied a cohort including 447 subjects (148 men, 299 women) without diabetes and followed for an average of 3y. Diabetes was diagnosed by an oral glucose tolerance test, plasma hemoglobin A1c, and if the subject was taking medications for diabetes....

Chen-Yen Chien, Cheng-Hsin Lin, Ron-Bin Hsu

AJIC: American Journal of Infection Control > 2014 > 42 > 5 > 562-564

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) sternal wound infection (SWI) after cardiac surgery is endemic in our hospital. An infection control care bundle with preoperative chlorhexidine showering and povidone iodine paint before bathing was introduced in 2006. From 2001 to 2012, 23 (2.3%) of 1,010 patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass had SWIs. SWI significantly decreased after...

Incidence, risk factor, and prognosis of end-stage renal disease after heart transplantation in Chinese recipients

Jeng-Wei Chen, Cheng-Hsin Lin, Ron-Bin Hsu

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association > 2014 > 113 > 1 > 11-16

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is an important complication arising after heart transplantation. At least 3–10% of recipients reach ESRD within 10 years after transplant. The incidence of ESRD in Chinese recipients has not been reported. Here we sought to assess the incidence, prognosis, and risk factors for ESRD in Chinese recipients.We conducted a retrospective analysis of 248 heart recipients who...

Surgical Proficiency and Quality Indicators in Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass

Ron-Bin Hsu, Cheng-Hsin Lin

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery > 2013 > 96 > 6 > 2069-2074

Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) was developed to decrease postoperative mortality and morbidity. Surgeon experience influences outcome. The required levels of surgical proficiency and maturation of technical skills are uncertain. We sought to assess the surgical proficiency in OPCAB and to identify the required levels of technical maturation.We included 1,055 consecutive patients undergoing...

Ching-Chang Huang, Ying-Hsien Chen, Mao-Shin Lin, Cheng-Hsin Lin, more

Journal of the American College of Cardiology > 2013 > 61 > 25 > 2503-2509

This study sought to report the effect of carotid artery stenting (CS) on neurocognitive function (NCF) in patients with severe carotid artery occlusive disease, depending on baseline brain perfusion status.The effect of CS on NCF has been controversial.We prospectively enrolled 61 patients with carotid artery disease (22 with occlusion, 39 with severe stenosis) in whom CS was attempted. Computed...

Stress-Induced Cardiomyopathy Caused by Heat Stroke

Wei-Ta Chen, Cheng-Hsin Lin, Ming-Hsiung Hsieh, Chun-Yao Huang, more

Annals of Emergency Medicine > 2012 > 60 > 1 > 63-66

Heat stroke is defined by central nervous system abnormalities and failure of proper maintenance of thermoregulation as a result of high core body temperature ensuing from exposure to high environmental temperatures or strenuous exercise. Common complications include acute respiratory distress syndrome, disseminated intravascular coagulation, acute renal injury, hepatic injury, and rhabdomyolysis...

Tanshinone IIA attenuates cyclic strain‐induced endothelin‐1 expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

Hong‐Jye Hong, Feng‐Lin Hsu, Shih‐Chang Tsai, Cheng‐Hsin Lin, more

Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology > 39 > 1 > 63 - 68

1. Tanshinone IIA, one of the active components of the Radix of Salvia miltiorrhiza, is used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat cardiovascular diseases. However, the intracellular mechanism of action of tanshinone IIA remain to be determined. The aims of the present study were to test the hypothesis that tanshinone IIA alters strain‐induced endothelin (ET)‐1 expression and nitric oxide (NO)...

Food pattern and quality of life in metabolic syndrome patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting in Taiwan

Heng-Hsin Tung, Li-Hua Tseng, Jeng Wei, Cheng-Hsin Lin, more

European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing > 2011 > 10 > 4 > 205-212

Metabolic syndrome is associated with poor operative outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG). A healthy food pattern for metabolic syndrome patients is necessary not only in the initial stage to prevent cardiovascular disease but for those who experience cardiovascular problems and undergo heart surgery. Empirical studies that explore food pattern and quality of life metabolic syndrome...

Survival of a Patient With Blunt Traumatic Biatrial Rupture

Che-Wei Lin, Wai-Mau Choi, Wen-Han Chang, Cheng-Hsin Lin, more

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Medicine > 2010 > 2 > 2 > 87-89

Cardiac rupture after blunt injury of the chest is uncommon and usually fatal. The incidence of biatrial cardiac rupture is rarer and more likely to be lethal. We report a case of biatrial multiple lacerations following blunt chest injury. At referral, the chest film showed left side massive hemothorax. A chest tube was inserted and primary resuscitation was carried out. The patient's vital signs...

Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice > 2009 > 85 > 3 > 335-341

We conducted this study to compare the relationships between subclinical atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome (MS) defined by four definitions in Chinese subjects.In 2006–2007, we enrolled 140 Chinese subjects without reported diabetes in this study. Anthropometric, biochemical profile, and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) were measured. MS was defined by International Diabetes Federation (IDF),...

Serum vascular adhesion protein-1 is increased in acute and chronic hyperglycemia

Hung-Yuan Li, Jung-Nan Wei, Mao-Shin Lin, David J. Smith, more

Clinica Chimica Acta > 2009 > 404 > 2 > 149-153

The relationship between serum vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) and plasma glucose in normal and drug-naïve type 2 diabetes subjects is unclear. We examined if serum VAP-1 changed acutely to oral glucose loading and analyzed the relationship between serum VAP-1, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), hemoglobin A1c, and type 2 diabetes.Adults without history of diabetes were included. Subjects taking anti-diabetic...
