We recently demonstrated a significant shortening of age-adapted telomere length (TL) in lymphocytes of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB)-exposed individuals. Here, we analyzed TL in individuals of the same PCB-exposed cohort during a 6-year follow-up period, investigating the change in TL between the first and second measurement as a function of…[Read more]

Multiple logistic regression or Cox proportional hazard ratios were used to document risk. Generally, tramadol users had fewer adverse event risks compared to other opioid users but higher risks than nonusers. New users of tramadol or other opioids had higher risks than continuing users. Tramadol use was associated with increased risk of multiple…[Read more]

Hepatocellular carcinoma represents one of the most aggressive cancers with high recurrence rates. The high recurrence is a major problem in the management of this disease. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are often regarded as the basis of cancer recurrence. The anti-proliferative therapy kills the proliferating cells but induces mitotic quiescence in…[Read more]

8% (107/291) vs 29.8% (297/998), p = 0.03] and be referred for post-operative radiation . In addition, there were a significantly greater number of tumors considered recurrent (received prior surgical or non-surgical treatment) in the upgraded pathology group . Our study highlights that a significant proportion of these patients are und…[Read more]

To scale quantum information processing, quantum state distributors are an indispensable technology in quantum networks. We present a universal scheme of a continuous variable quantum state distributor that performs point-to-multipoint distributions via quantum teleportation with partially disembodied transport. The fidelity of the state at the…[Read more]

Moreover, it is presumed that AxD pathogenesis occur due to interactions with neurons and other glial cells, as well as the microenvironment in tissues. Research strategies based on these perspectives will help us understand AxD pathology better and may lead to the elucidation of disease modifiers and clinical diversity.Sandhoff disease (SD) is a…[Read more]

Alternatives to antibiotic treatments are required owing to the ban on the use of these drugs as growth promoters in food animal production. Tributyrin appears to play a role in improving growth performance in pigs, albeit with varying degrees of effectiveness. So far, very little is known about its effects on gut microbiota composition. In this…[Read more]
