243+1.153*age. CONCLUSIONS PI was not a fixed but a dynamic parameter in the population under 12 years old. Indeed, PI increases with age and bone maturity in childhood. We also found lower PI, PT and SS compared with published studies of adolescents in other countries. These results may aid in the treatment of patients with spinal deformity, to…[Read more]

In this review, we will summarise the current understanding of MAPK functions in both innate and adaptive immune response against IAVs and discuss their contributions towards the cytokine storm caused by highly pathogenic influenza viruses.The present article addresses a generation of predictive models that assesses the thickness and length of…[Read more]

5 ± 1.9 vs. 5.0 ± 0.0 cmH2O and T2, 12.4 ± 1.9 vs. 5.0 ± 0.0 cmH2O, both P  less then  0.001). Partial pressures of oxygen decreased significantly from baseline during pneumoperitoneum in the control group but not in the intervention group. Nevertheless, the changes in partial pressures of oxygen did not differ between groups. Compliance of the r…[Read more]

67; 95% CI 1.08-2.58). Comparisons of baseline characteristics between patients with favorable and poor outcome indicated the correlation between CYP2C19 loss-of-function (LOF) allele and poorer clinical outcome in ≤ 60-year-old patients (OR = 4.29; 95% CI 1.68-10.93). The heterogeneity test showed a presence of interaction between age and C…[Read more]

Post-translational modifications by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins (Ubls) have known roles in a myriad of cellular processes. Ubiquitin- and Ubl-binding domains transmit the information conferred by these post-translational modifications by recognizing functional surfaces and, when present, different chain structures. Numerous domains…[Read more]
