The present study aimed to explore the chemical characteristics of mountainous forest cultivated ginseng (MFCG) and garden ginseng (GG) with respect to their ginsenosides and oligosaccharides.

A high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection-evaporative light-scattering detection technique was adopted to investigate the…[Read more]

Long-term high-concentrate (HC) diet feeding increased bacterial endotoxins, which translocated into the mammary glands of dairy goats and induced inflammatory response. γ-d-Glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelic acid (iE-DAP), bacterial peptidoglycan component, triggered inflammatory response through activating nucleotide oligomerization domain protein 1…[Read more]

Debriefing is key in a simulation learning process.

This study focuses on the impact of computer debriefing on learning acquisition and retention after a screen-based simulation training on neonatal resuscitation designed for midwifery students.

Midwifery students participated in 2 screen-based simulation sessions, separated by 2…[Read more]

Cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) transients control key neural processes, including neurogenesis, migration, the polarization and growth of neurons, and the establishment and maintenance of synaptic connections. They are thus involved in the development and formation of the neural system. In this study, a publicly available whole transcriptome sequencing…[Read more]

hat of another annelid, Capitella teleta, whose organizing signal is required through the 16 cell stage and localizes to micromere 2d. Since C. pergamentaceus is an early branching annelid, these data in conjunction with functional genomic investigations in C. teleta hint that the ancestral state of annelid dorsal-ventral axis patterning involved…[Read more]

Our perception of the role of the previously considered ‘selfish’ or ‘junk’ DNA has been dramatically altered in the past 20 years or so. A large proportion of this non-coding part of mammalian genomes is repetitive in nature, classified as either satellites or transposons. While repetitive elements can be termed selfish in terms of their…[Read more]

To evaluate the efficacy of a training program designed to teach medical physicists how to communicate with patients effectively in the clinical environment.

The training program was offered 3 times between 2016 and 2019. Participants were asked to rank their level of confidence in 5 categories relevant to patient communication on a…[Read more]

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the predictive value of microRNA (miR)-125a and miR-125b for sepsis risk, and their correlations with inflammation, disease severity, and 28-day mortality in sepsis patients. METHODS Totally, 150 sepsis patients and 150 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled. Plasma samples were separated from blood samples…[Read more]

Executive function entails the core components of response inhibition, working memory and cognitive flexibility. An accumulating literature has shown that a single bout of exercise improves the response inhibition and working memory components of executive function; however, limited work has examined a putative exercise-related improvement to…[Read more]

the type and quantity of antifungal agent to incorporate, although recent reports support the use of these agents.

In dogs, infections with Giardia duodenalis are mainly caused by assemblages C and D, but also by the potentially zoonotic assemblages A and B. The aims of this study were to assess differences in assemblages (i) between dogs…[Read more]

Indeed, we observed faster RTs and greater representational similarity for primed than unprimed trials, suggesting that mental representations of abstract relations are transiently activated on this incidental analogy task. Finally, we found a significant correlation between behavioral and neural priming across participants. To our knowledge, this…[Read more]
