    Abstract Kaohsiung Municipal Siaogang Hospital is located in southern Kaohsiung City, a major nexus of land, sea, and air transportation. Thus, the hospital is on the frontlines of strengthening Kaohsiung International Airport's epidemic prevention measures and preventing the spread of COVID-19 and other epidemic viruses to Taiwan from other countries. Kaohsiung Medical University integrates on-campus academic research, teaching services, and medical institution resources and has long promoted community care plans in conjunction with the public sector. A disused public sector space repurposed by the university into a distinctive day care center is being further used as a service-learning platform linking medical education to communities, allowing university students to enter the community and apply what they have learned to improve quality of life, community health, and well-being. "Happy Kaohsiung Healthy City-Siaogang District Environmental Education and Health Promotion Sustainable Development Plan", which responds to the issues and needs of air pollution and health promotion in the city's Siaogang District, designates Kaohsiung Municipal Siaogang Hospital as the core base of local practice, connecting multidisciplinary schools and units as well as cross-regional resources to promote practical programs such as air quality talent education, environmental testing and research, campus health education and publicity, air pollution syllabus, and community care and care, fulfilling the university's social responsibilities.

    Abstract Individuals residing near petrochemical complexes have been found to have increasing the risk of respiratory distress and diseases. On visit 1 in 2016, all participants underwent urinary arsenic measurement and low-dose computed tomography (LDCT). The same participants had LDCT performed at visit 2 in 2018. Our study revealed that individuals with lung fibrotic changes had significantly higher levels of urinary arsenic compared to the non-lung fibrotic changes group. Moreover, we found that participants with urinary arsenic levels in the highest sextile (> 209.7 μg/g creatinine) had a significantly increased risk of lung fibrotic changes in both visit 1 (OR = 1.87; 95% CI= 1.16-3.02; P = 0.010) and visit 2 (OR = 1.74; 95% CI = 1.06-2.84; P = 0.028) compared to those in the lowest sextile (≤ 41.4 μg/g creatinine). We also observed a significantly increasing trend across urinary arsenic sextile in both visits (P

    Abstract The incidence of respiratory diseases has been associated with copper in particulate matter; however, the relationship between urinary copper levels and interstitial lung changes remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted a population-based study in southern Taiwan between 2016 and 2018, excluding individuals with a history of lung carcinoma, pneumonia, and cigarette smoking. Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) was performed to detect lung interstitial changes, including the presence of ground-glass opacity or bronchiectasis in LDCT images. We categorized urinary copper levels into quartiles (Q1: ≤10.3; Q2: >10.4 and ≤14.2; Q3: >14.3 and ≤18.9; and Q4: >19.0 μg/L) and analyzed the risk of interstitial lung changes using multiple logistic regression analysis. The urinary copper levels were significantly positively correlated with age, body mass index, serum white blood cell count, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, creatinine, triglycerides, fasting glucose, and glycated hemoglobin and significantly negatively correlated with platelet count and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The study found that the highest quartile of urinary copper levels (Q4) was significantly associated with an increased risk of bronchiectasis compared to the lowest quartile (Q1) of urinary copper levels, with an odds ratio (OR) of 3.49 and a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 1.12-10.88. However, the association between urinary copper levels and interstitial lung disease needs further investigation in future studies.

    Abstract Eating with the mouth is one of the basic joys of life. However, some 450,000 people currently live with nasogastric tubes in Taiwan. The causes of dysphagia disorders are complicated. Caring effectively for these cases requires interdisciplinary medical cooperation. Taiwan is expected to become a super-aged society in 2025. In Taiwan, people over 65 years old, residents of long-term care institutions, and stroke cases experience high rates of dysphagia. Every case of dysphagia has a potential risk of aspiration pneumonia, with pneumonia ranking as the third leading cause of death in people over 65 years old. Therefore, this issue demands the attention and assistance of medical care personnel. The integrated care model used at Kaohsiung Siaogang Hospital to promote the reconstruction of dysphagia functions is introduced in this article to help give medical teams interested in assisting cases a deeper understanding of this model. Integrating the resources and manpower of multiple disciplines helps cases improve dysphagia functions and reduces the need for indwelling nasogastric tubes and the incidence of aspiration pneumonia. Let us protect the everyday happiness of eating and improve quality of life.

    Abstract Exposure to ambient air pollution has been associated with increased rates of mortality and morbidity and a shorter life expectancy. Few studies have evaluated the associations between air pollution and change in calcaneus ultrasound T-score (∆T-score). Therefore, in this longitudinal study, we explored these associations in a large group of Taiwanese participants. We used data from the Taiwan Biobank database and Taiwan Air Quality Monitoring Database, which contains detailed daily data on air pollution. We identified 27,033 participants in the Taiwan Biobank database who had both baseline and follow-up data. The median follow-up period was 4 years. The studied ambient air pollutants included particulates of 2.5 μm or less (PM

    Abstract Background: The risk of first recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within years 5 to 10 after curative hepatectomy remains unknown. We aimed to assess the incidence and prognostic factors for very late recurrence among patients who achieved 5 years' recurrence-free survival (RFS) after primary resection.
    Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 337 patients with early-stage HCC underwent primary tumor resection and achieved more than 5 years' RFS.
    Results: A total of 77 patients (22.8%) developed very late recurrence. The cumulative very late recurrence rate increased from 6.9% and 11.7% to 16.6% at 6, 7, and 8 years, respectively. Patients stopped smoking had a higher rate of very late RFS.
    Conclusions: The high rates of very late recurrence in HCC indicate that patients warrant continued surveillance, even after 5 recurrence-free years. Moreover, smoking is a risk factor for very late HCC recurrence, and quitting smoking may reduce the risk of very late recurrence.
