LC was attempted in 12 patients and conversion to open cholecystectomy was required in 3 (25%). Neither recurrence of cholecystitis nor late adverse event occurred during 6 months of follow-up in 10 patients who did not undergo cholecystectomy. CONCLUSIONS EUS-GBD with a combination of DPPS and NCT is considered an effective and safe technique…[Read more]

Physiological data were obtained to further confirm the role CIPK23 in alleviating NH4+ toxicity. Taken all together, CIPK23 might function in different tissues to reduce stress-induced NH4+ toxicity associated with high NH4+/K+ ratios by regulating the NH4+-K+ balance in Arabidopsis.Oligodendrocytes are the myelinating cells of the central…[Read more]

Results Unexpectedly, the mean preferred directions for the left eye were normal in the monkeys with A-pattern exotropia. For the right eye, there was a clear upward deviation for the right NPH and a downward deviation for the left NPH. In addition, the R2 values were significantly lower for model fits for neurons recorded from the exotropic…[Read more]
