Air could be identified on x-ray in this patient due to presence of massive ascites in his abdominal cavity. Recognizing radiographic patterns that suggest pneumoperitoneum on supine plain radiographs could expedite the diagnostic process and surgical intervention.Chiari I malformation is a common entity in pediatric neurosurgery. Prior studies…[Read more]

Tooth eruption is characterized by a coordinated complex cascade of cellular and molecular events that promote tooth movement through the eruptive pathway. During tooth eruption, the stratum intermedium structurally changes to the papillary layer with tooth organ development. We previously reported intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)…[Read more]

5 ± 27.4 s. There were no venous access-related complications.

US-guided CV puncture appears feasible and safe with an acceptable success rate. In case of failure of the US-guided axillary or subclavian vein approach, it may be preferred as an alternative to the cephalic cut-down procedure, where the success rate is relatively lower and th…[Read more]

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Carboxyl ester lipase is a pancreatic enzyme encoded by CEL, an extremely polymorphic human gene. Pathogenic variants of CEL either increases the risk for chronic pancreatitis (CP) or cause MODY8, a syndrome of pancreatic exocrine and endocrine dysfunction. Here, we aimed to characterize a novel duplication allele of CEL…[Read more]

In addition, the local injection of both a miR-5106 agonist or M2D-Exos to fracture sites was sufficient to accelerate healing in vivo. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates that miR-5106 is highly enriched in M2D-Exos, and that it can be transferred to BMSCs wherein it targets SIK2 and SIK3 genes to promote osteoblast differentiation.BACKGROUND…[Read more]
