Salivary extracellular vesicles (EVs), as novel functional carriers and potential biomarkers, are usually obtained by ultracentrifugation (UC) and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based precipitation methods. Troglitazone cell line However, salivary EVs obtained by these two methods have not been systematically compared. Here, we perform an in-depth…[Read more]

In addition, the external quantum efficiency is as high as 32.1%. On the other hand, the response time of τrise and τfall is estimated to be 7.51 and 36.7 μs, respectively. Finally, an image sensor composed of a 8 × 8 PtTe2-based photodetector array was fabricated, which can record five near-infrared (NIR) images under 980 nm with a satisfying res…[Read more]

To determine the factors influencing functional improvement of cervical spinal cord injuries during hospital admission.

We performed a retrospective study of patients with an acute cervical spinal cord injury who had completed a rehabilitation programme in the Spinal Cord Injuries Unit of the Canary Islands between 2001 and 2018. To…[Read more]

Breast cancer, one of the leading causes of death in the world, has been largely considered to be drug resistant because of a small population of drug refractory cells, the cancer stem cells (CSCs). The CSCs are tightly regulated by self-renewal pathways such as the Wnt pathway, which is further regulated by a gamut of microRNAs. In this study, we…[Read more]

The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnosis and management of postoperative bile leaks, reporting typical diagnostic findings and available percutaneous techniques in association with other diagnostic and management methods.

Thirty-six patients (28 male) were treated for postoperative bile leaks. A biliary leak was clinically…[Read more]

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) such as stroke, high blood pressure, peripheral vascular disease, ischemic heart disease and acute myocardial infarction are some of the leading causes of death. To treat CVDs, commercially available thrombolytic agents are widely used. However, these thrombolytic agents have various side effects. Alternatively,…[Read more]

Increasing evidences indicate that high-risk HPV variants are heterogeneous in carcinogenicity and ethnic dispersion. In this work, we identified genetic signatures for convenient determination of lineage/sublineage of HPV16, 18, 52 and 58 variants. Using publicly available genomes, we found that E2 of HPV16, L2 of HPV18, L1 and LCR of HPV52, and…[Read more]

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are the physical connections between two or more proteins via electrostatic forces or hydrophobic effects. Identification of the PPIs is pivotal, which contributes to many biological processes including protein function, disease incidence, and therapy design. The experimental identification of PPIs via…[Read more]

The present study included lab-scale sewage sludge (SS) composting amended by molasses and spent mushroom substrate (SMS) in 5 L composting reactor system. The influence of molasses and SMS amendment on nitrogen loss and humification of SS composting was evaluated. The results showed that SMS amendment, especially combination with molasses raised…[Read more]

Mitral annular disjunction is a structural abnormality of the mitral annulus fibrosus which is often associated with mitral leaflet prolapse. However, few reports have described mitral annular disjunction in mitral valve prolapse (MVP). This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of mitral annular disjunction in patients with severe mitral…[Read more]

The analysis shows good conservation of coherence in particular at L-band, while higher frequencies are susceptible to loss of coherence in particular for dense vegetation. The potential of the instrument for satellite calibration and validation activities is also discussed.

Evidence to date indicates that heater-cooler units (HCUs) and heater…[Read more]
