Open adrenalectomy was performed in 25 patients whereas four underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Fifteen patients experienced postoperative complications. The most frequently documented intraoperative complication was hypotension. Death occurred in two patients, one patient died of metastatic disease secondary to malignant pheochromocytoma and…[Read more]

As a group of plant-specific proteins, OVATE family protein (OFP) members have been shown to function as transcriptional repressors and involve in plant growth regulation in Arabidopsis and rice. It has also been shown that OFPs can interact with TONNEAU1 Recruiting Motif (TRM) proteins to regulate tomato fruit shape. In this study, we show that…[Read more]

In any case, advances in knowledge of the EMT mechanisms and their influence on carcinogenesis and drug resistance will greatly influence the therapeutic strategies for many human tumors, including cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.The present study investigated the therapeutic effect of curcumin on bleomycin (BLM)-induced alterations in…[Read more]

The increasing concentration of surface ozone (O3) was observed during recent decades in the world, which affects tree roots and forest soils. Meanwhile, the impact of ozone on tree roots is greatly affected by soil condition. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the possible effects of ozone on tree roots and soil processes. In this study,…[Read more]

The usefulness of PET/MRI in head and neck malignancy has not been fully elucidated. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and confidence of PET/MRI in comparison with PET or MRI alone. This study included 73 consecutive patients who underwent [18F] FDG PET/MRI in head and neck under the suspicion of malignancy. A…[Read more]

46, P  less then  0.05), waist circumference (r = 0.73, P  less then  0.05) and percent of body fat (r = 0.58, P  less then  0.05). CONCLUSIONS Maximal reduction of PAC in obese patients underwent bariatric surgery occurred during the first 3 months after bariatric surgery. The reduction of PAC was associated with the reduction of body wei…[Read more]

ions of Asia, implementation trials are needed to inform evidence-based design of strategies for this vulnerable population.BACKGROUND Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is one of the leading worldwide causes of childhood morbidity and mortality. Its disease burden varies by age and etiology and is time dependent. We aimed to investigate the…[Read more]

New and emerging molecular techniques are expanding understanding of the pathophysiology of spondyloarthritis (SpA). Genome-wide association studies identified novel pathways in antigen processing and presentation as well as helper T cell type 17 (TH17) immunity associated with SpA. Immune cell profiling techniques have supported TH17 immune…[Read more]

OBJECTIVE This prospective study was designed to analyze the incidence and the factors associated with impairment in left ventricular systolic function (LVSF) overtime in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) without overt cardiac disease. In particular, we verified the hypothesis that a relationship between worsening of LVSF and markers of RA…[Read more]

A high-affinity monoclonal antibody (mAb) has been prepared and separately a gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-based and a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence-based lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) developed for determination of 5-hydroxyflunixin residue in raw milk. BTK pathway inhibitor The AuNP and IRDye® 800CW were used to label anti-5-hydroxyflunixin mAb…[Read more]
