Interleukin 10 has been shown to play a critical role in the regulation of the immune responses in allergic diseases.

To investigate if genetic polymorphisms in the promoter region of the IL-10 gene are associated with food allergy (FA) susceptibility in Caucasian pediatric patients with concomitant allergic diseases and IL-10…[Read more]

To those uterine tumor patients with local suspicious lesions or poor prognostic factors after CF-252 neutron intracavity and external radiotherapy, extrafascial hysterectomy is a safe and feasible treatment method.Objective To investigate the relationship between total prostate specific antigen (TPSA), free prostate specific antigen/total…[Read more]

Rice is the model plant system for monocots and the sequencing of its genome has led to the identification of a vast array of genes for characterization. The tedious and time-consuming effort of raising rice transgenics has significantly delayed the pace of rice research. The lack of highly efficient transient assay protocol for rice has only…[Read more]

It is currently unclear whether early life stress (ELS) affects males and females differently. However, a growing body of work has shown that sex moderates responses to stress and injury, with important insights into sex-specific mechanisms provided by work in rodents. Unfortunately, most of the ELS studies in rodents were conducted only in males,…[Read more]

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global pandemic. Clinical characteristics regarding secondary infections in patients with COVID-19 have been reported but detailed microbiology, risk factors and outcomes of secondary bloodstream infections (sBSI) in patients with severe COVID-19 have not been well described.

We performed a…[Read more]

Depending on the situations, preservation of the bronchial artery, thoracic duct, and azygos arch should be considered. A care bundle by a multidisciplinary perioperative management team may decrease postoperative morbidity and mortality rates in elderly patients undergoing esophagectomy.The number of patients receiving hemodialysis has increased,…[Read more]

The loss of an expected child is a psychologically difficult and potentially traumatic life event. While most women will become pregnant again within a year following the loss, data are limited regarding the mental health of parents with a history of perinatal loss, especially in the period following the birth of a subsequent healthy child. This…[Read more]

Acute dietary salt intake may cause an elevation in blood pressure (BP). The study aimed to assess the acute effect of saline loading on BP in subjects with different levels of salt intake. This study is based on the baseline survey of systemic epidemiology of salt sensitivity study. The sodium excretion in the 24-hour urine was calculated for…[Read more]

No significant effect on planning or semantic verbal fluency (SVF) was found.

Regular physical exercise training, especially aerobic exercise and mind-body exercise, had positive benefit for improving working memory, cognitive flexibility and inhibitory control of executive function in cognively healthy older adults. Further well-designed…[Read more]

Nineteen of the 32 (59%) maintained a clear procedure for disclosing disabilities and requesting accommodations.

While disability policies are present in many of the largest GME institutions, it is not yet a standardized practice. For institutions maintaining a disability policy, many lack key elements identified as best practices in the…[Read more]

Alterations in proteomes of peripheral and cord blood were expectedly unequal. Both up- and downregulated markers were accommodated in the cast of molecular events interconnected with the lipid metabolism, RXR/PPAR-signaling pathway, and extracellular architecture modulation. The obtained results congregate numerous biological processes to…[Read more]
