The frequency of subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) in patients with obesity is increased compared with the normal population. However, data on the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with SH are still scarce. Lipid parameters are strong predictors of early CVD. We aimed to investigate the role of lipid indices in predicting CVD risk…[Read more]

This study conducts an ERP experiment to explore the online processing mechanism of Chinese xiehouyu, a subcategory of Chinese idiomatic expressions with a metaphorical two-part allegorical saying, regarded as a non-literal language construct. Using a 2 × 2 design, (high familiarity (HF)/low familiarity (LF)) × (literally-biasing context (LC)/meta…[Read more]

In December 2019, pneumonia associated with a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported in Wuhan, China. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the most frequently observed complication in COVID-19 patients with high mortality rates.

To observe the clinical effect of plasmapheresis on excessive inflammatory reaction and immune…[Read more]

Bone mineral density as assessed by MCI was found to be negatively and significantly correlated with oral disease status and osteocalcin levels. Significant difference was obtained while comparing the MCI inbetween the two study groups.

There is significantly higher prevalence of oral lesions along with oral dryness in postmenopausal…[Read more]

The coronavirus disease 2019 has caused over 2 million deaths worldwide, with over 412,000 deaths reported in Unites States. To date, at least 57,786 pregnant women in the United States have been infected, and 71 pregnant women have died. Although pregnant women are at higher risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019-related illness, clinical trials…[Read more]

y, we elucidated a bona fide circNR3C2/miR-513a-3p/HRD1/Vimentin axis that negatively regulates the metastasis of TNBC, suggesting that circNR3C2 and HRD1 can act as potential prognostic biomarkers. Our study may facilitate the development of therapeutic agents targeting circNR3C2 and HRD1 for patients with aggressive breast cancer.

Seasonal…[Read more]

To evaluate the characteristics of needle artifacts and the accuracy of needle insertion using a 1.2 Tesla open magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system in a phantom.

First, the apparent width of the needle on the MRI and the needle tip position error of 16- and 18-gauge MRI-compatible introducer needles and a 17-gauge cryoneedle were…[Read more]

Though TTF1 showed higher sensitivity than napsin A, the latter is more specific. Both p63 and p40 were found to be highly sensitive for squamous cell carcinoma, but p40 was more specific than p63. Epidermal growth factor receptor could be evaluated on 94.4% of ADC samples, indicating good yield for molecular testing.

PCNBL yields adequate…[Read more]

13 kDa), polyphosphateADP/GDP phosphotransferase (40.88 kDa), ribonuclease P protein component (14.96 kDa) and cobalt-precorrin-5B C(1)-methyltransferase (38.43 kDa) with MASCOT score of 54, 81, 94, and 100, respectively. All of these proteins help the bacteria to overcome arsenate stress.The revolutionary and pioneering advancements of flexibl…[Read more]

Our method can speed and improve quality control relative to tract-by-tract visual inspection and can recover data that otherwise would need to be excluded from analyses due to incomplete reconstruction.

To our knowledge, there are no publications proposing alternative methods for quality control and recovering of partially reconstructed…[Read more]
