In heart failure (HF) with sinus rhythm, resting and exercise heart rates correlate with exercise capacity and mortality. However, in HF with atrial fibrillation (AF), this correlation is unknown. Our aim is to investigate the association of resting and exercise ventricular rates (VRs) with exercise capacity and…[Read more]

As a potential cancer therapy, we developed a recombinant adenovirus named Ad-VT, which was designed to express the apoptosis-inducing gene (apoptin) and selectively replicate in cancer cells via E1a manipulation. However, how it performs in bladder cancer remains unclear. We examined the antitumor efficacy of Ad-VT in bladder cancers using CCK-8…[Read more]

RESULTS. For the majority of the organs, the maximum errors in organ dose estimation were 18% and 8%, averaged across all protocols, without and with bias correction, respectively. For the patient examinations, DLP-based ED was significantly different from organ dose-based ED by as much as 190.9% and 234.7% for chest and abdomen-pelvis scans,…[Read more]

Control mice did not elicit any significant phase shifts at all CTs. Social interactions with conspecifics of the opposite-sex up-regulated c-fos/C-FOS, omp in the olfactory bulb, per-1/PER-1 in the SCN, C-FOS, and PER-1 in the piriform cortex of both male and female runners at CT3. However, at CT15 up-regulation of variables only occurred in male…[Read more]

20; P = 0.0005). With subsequent longitudinal monitoring, 14 patients (70%) had detectable ctDNA before recurrence, with a median lead time of 8.0 mo earlier than seen with radiologic imaging. The mqMSP assay is cost-effective and easily implementable for routine clinical monitoring of CRC recurrence, which can lead to better patient management…[Read more]

Stable droplets were shown to form using the channel-in-channel geometry, and the droplet size and generation frequency for this geometry were explored for various flow rates for the continuous and dispersed phases.Cells grown on bioactive matrices have immensely advanced many aspects of biomedical research related to drug delivery and tissue…[Read more]

Epilepsy is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that has seriously threatened human health. Accumulating evidence reveals that the pathological progression of epilepsy is closely related to peroxynitrite (ONOO-). Unfortunately, understanding the physiological roles of ONOO- in epilepsy is still challenging due to the lack of powerful imaging…[Read more]

Human epithelial cell sheets (ECSs) are used to clinically treat epithelial conditions such as burns, corneal blindness, middle ear cholesteatoma and vitiligo. As a widely used material in clinic, there is little information on the biobanking of ECSs and its repair effect after storage.

Two methods for biobanking foreskin ECSs were…[Read more]

In this paper, we review the ability of HRU to detect nerve cross-sectional area and blood flow, and echo and other image changes, and in showing the characteristics of peripheral nerve morphological changes in patients with DPN. We also explore the application of two other recent technological developments-shear wave elastography (SWE) and…[Read more]

Polyelectrolyte microspheres find applications in many fields such as ion exchange columns, fuel cell membranes, and catalysis, to name a few. Synthesis of these microspheres by inverse emulsion polymerization offers various advantages due to the increased specific surface area and high surface charge density. The surface charge density of the…[Read more]

Metaphyseal fracture healing in the distal femur requires a stable biomechanical environment. The presence of arthritis-induced coronal-plane knee deformities can cause deviation of the mechanical axis, which results in asymmetric loading and increased bending forces in fractures of the distal femur metaphysis. This predisposes patients to…[Read more]
