On the basis of fungal involvement, rhinosinusitis is categorized into allergic, mycetoma, chronic, and acute invasive types. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy of an amphotericin gel in situ loaded with nanotransferosomes against Aspergillus flavus, which causes allergic rhinosinusitis. A Box-Behnken design was utilized to…[Read more]

The overall survival was 87.9%, 84.1%, and 84.1% at 1, 2, and 3years, respectively. However, 1 patient required endovascular extension for the dilatation of the descending thoracic aorta 4months after the initial surgery.

Total aortic arch replacement with the frozen elephant trunk technique (zone 1-2) and Gelweave Lupiae graft was safe…[Read more]

Therefore, DPMPP has a potential to be used as a therapeutic agent for treatment of prostate cancer.This work provides the first characteristics of the rhodopsin SpaR from Sphingomonas paucimobilis, aerobic bacteria associated with opportunistic infections. The sequence analysis of SpaR has shown that this protein has unusual DTS motif which has…[Read more]

Air quality data from Bogotá, Colombia, show high levels of particulate matter (PM), which often generate respiratory problems to the population and a high economic cost to the government. Since 2016, air quality in the city of Bogotá has been measured through the Bogota Air Quality Index (IBOCA) which works as an indicator of environmental risk d…[Read more]

Thus, YFSE demonstrated prebiotic effects resulting in improving intestinal bacterial populations profile, BBM functionality, digestive and absorptive capabilities, intestinal morphology, glycogen status and immune system.Recently the use of electrolyzed water (EW) attracted much attention as a high-performance, new technology for its potential…[Read more]

Factors that lead human papillomavirus (HPV) infections to persist and progress to cancer are not fully understood, especially among vaccinated women. We evaluated co-factors for acquisition, persistence and progression of non-HPV16/18 infections in a cohort of HPV-vaccinated women.

We analyzed 2,153 18-25-year-old women randomized to the…[Read more]

01). Factors associated with post-remission survival included age at CR1, NCCN risk, induction regimen (FLAG+/-Ida vs 3 + 7 h 0.62, p = 0.01) and receipt of HCT. Our data, with the limitations inherent to a retrospective analysis, shows that achieving CR after FLAG+/-Ida has better post remission survival than 7 + 3. Differentiation, self-renewal…[Read more]

Highly stable all-inorganic perovskite quantum dot/polymethylsilsesquioxane aerogel (CsPbBr3/PMSQ AG) composites were first produced using two-step hot-injection and encapsulation processes by embedding green-emitting CsPbBr3 PQDs into modified hydrophobic mesoporous silica AGs. The unique structure of the composites not only considerably enhances…[Read more]

The incidence of AKI was also significantly lower with IOCM in younger patients, without diabetes, anemia, coronary artery disease history, CKD, chronic or persistent atrial fibrillation, left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35%, and in patients with low operative mortality risk scores, receiving lower amounts of dye (p<0.05 for all). I…[Read more]

As long as the magnetic configuration is slowly varying, the former is conserved while its changes is associated with nonzero monopole charge. The skyrmion number and the monoplole charge offer a coherent understanding of the stability of the topological magnetic texture and the nontrivial dynamics of skyrmion strings.An effective and reliable way…[Read more]

For the prediction task of quantum mechanics-based properties, the 3D representations were superior to 2D. For predicting activity of small molecules against specific biological targets, no consistent trend was observed in the difference of performance using the two types of representations, irrespective of the diversity of training data…[Read more]

Spermatozoon is a motile cell with a special ability to travel through the woman’s reproductive tract and fertilize an oocyte. To reach and penetrate the oocyte, spermatozoa should possess progressive motility. Therefore, motility is an important parameter during both natural and assisted conception. The global trend of progressive reduction in…[Read more]
