9% asymptomatic Leishmania infection in the study cohort. This finding emphasizes the need of further evaluating potential screening strategies for Leishmania infection in solid organ transplant candidates residing in or visiting endemic areas.Microsatellites were designed and characterized in the African fruit tree species Dacryodes edulis…[Read more]

06). The creatinine level (odds ratio = 1.03; 95% confidence interval = 1.01 to 1.05; P = 0.02) and hypertension (odds ratio = 3.72; 95% confidence interval = 1.35 to 10.28; P = 0.01) were risk factors for bleeding events. CONCLUSION For Chinese patients, the LMWH bridging anticoagulation presents the increased the incidence of bleeding e…[Read more]

In both groups, poorer performance was associated with increases in functional activation consistent with dedifferentiation. Moreover, there were age-related differences in the strength of these correlations, with better performing younger adults modulating the bilateral insula and temporal pole and better performing older adults modulating…[Read more]

The metastasis of breast cancer is believed to have a negative effect on its prognosis. Benefiting from the remarkable deep-penetrating and noninvasive characteristics, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) demonstrates a whole series of potential leading to cancer treatment. To relieve the limitation of monotherapy, a multifunctional nanoplatform has been…[Read more]

001). High expression of SLC7A8 mRNA and SLC7A8 protein was associated with good patient outcome (P ≤ 0.001) but only in the low proliferative ER+/luminal A tumours (P = 0.01). In multivariate analysis, SLC7A8 mRNA and SLC7A8 protein were independent factors for longer breast cancer specific survival (P = 0.01 and P = 0.03), respectively. CON…[Read more]

In conclusion, VE1 IHC is a reliable method for detecting BRAFV600E mutation in PTC specimens.This study aimed to evaluate whether computed tomography (CT)-based muscle measurement predicts distant failure in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Data from 278 patients with LACC who underwent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) between…[Read more]

80), minimal luminal diameter (MLD; 0.77), remodeling index (RI; 0.76), degree of luminal diameter stenosis (0.75), and minimal luminal area (MLA; 0.75). CONCLUSION CT-FFRML and morphological plaque characteristics show a significant correlation to detected hemodynamically significant coronary stenosis. Whole CT-FFRML had the best discriminatory…[Read more]

Among the four proteolytic systems in the cell, autophagy and the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) are the main proteolytic events that allow for the removal of cell debris and proteins to maintain cellular homeostasis. Previous studies have revealed that these systems perform their functions independently of each other. However, recent studies…[Read more]
