05). Infections were significantly less common in the negative pressure group (p less then 0.05). In the univariate analysis, the infection-positive group had significantly higher laparoscopic surgery (p less then 0.01) and negative pressure wound therapy-free rates (p less then 0.01), and significantly more intraoperative blood loss (p less then…[Read more]

Keloids are a common condition with variable rates of treatment satisfaction. Lasers have been used in an attempt to improve clinical appearance and associated symptoms. We report a significant reduction in pain for patients treated exclusively with a 1064 nm NdYAG laser. Lasers Su…[Read more]

Moreover, strain RG1 was most virulent, while strains SC1 and SC7 were similar virulent on rice leaves, even though strain SC1 propagated significantly faster in rice leaf tissues than strain SC7. This study firstly discovered E. asburiae as a new pathogen of rice bacterial blight, and in some cases, P. ananatis could be a companion pathogen.…[Read more]

Tumor immune evasion enables cancer cells to escape destruction by the immune system, which causes poor prognosis and overall survival of some tumor patients. The binding of PD-L1 on tumor cells to PD-1 on T cells suppresses T cell function, and the axis is considered one of the major pathways mediating tumor cells to evade immune surveillance.…[Read more]
