to gain weight. Proper screening and counselling during the follow-up visit in the outpatient setting can help in identification, prevention and management of the obesity-related metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease (CVD), and motivate them to adopt healthy behaviours.

A firm must identify its key competitors (those that belong to the…[Read more]

To observe alveolar macrophages (AMs) in the microenvironment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

20 NSCLC patients received bronchoalveolar lavage, and the bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected. The phenotypes of AMs were detected by the opal multiplex immunofluorescence assay (mIF), flow cytometry, and…[Read more]

Notably, LEC lesioned animals performed at chance on the egocentric version but above chance on the allocentric version. There was no significant difference in performance between the two groups on an object recognition and spatial T-maze task. Taken together, these results indicate that the LEC plays a role in feature integration more broadly and…[Read more]

In addition, the symbiotic DCs exhibit characteristic physiologic changes, including a low rate of apoptosis and increased mitochondrial respiration.After the discovery of complete ammonia-oxidizing (comammox) Nitrospira, detection and assessments of the contribution of comammox Nitrospira communities to nitrogen cycling are in great demand.…[Read more]

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been gradually considered a public health challenge worldwide. Sulfated polysaccharides, extracted from seaweed, have been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect on the disease[…].The study examines the phenolic compounds in hydromethanolic extracts of Salix alba (L.) leaves and bark as well as their…[Read more]

A new metal-organic framework (MOF) with both coordination linkages and covalent linkages is prepared by coordinating CuI with pyrazolate for an aldehyde-functionalized trinuclear complex, and subsequent imine condensation with p-phenylenediamine, a reaction typical for covalent organic framework (COF) synthesis. This MOF×COF collaboration yields…[Read more]

This work presents a unified dissipaton-equation-of-motion (DEOM) theory and its evaluations on the Helmholtz free energy change due to the isotherm mixing of two isolated subsystems. One is a local impurity, and the other is a nonlocal Gaussian bath. DEOM constitutes a fundamental theory for such open quantum mixtures. To complete the theory, we…[Read more]

vide follow-up care with emphasis on improving nutrition and continuity of KMC at home.Parvovirus B19 infection has been reported to be associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Liver dysfunction is frequently observed in SLE patients. However, liver dysfunction caused by an aberrant copper metabolism is rarely seen in patients with…[Read more]

Advancement of subject-specific in-silico medicine requires new imaging protocols tailored to specific anatomical features, paired with new constitutive model development based on structure/function relationships. In this study we develop a new dual-VENC 4D Flow MRI protocol that provides unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution of in-vivo…[Read more]
