The VEGF level in the EBC of ARDS patients was positively correlated with PaO2/FiO2 and PaO2 and was negatively correlated with lung injury score (LIS) and A-aDO2/PaO2. CONCLUSION The changes in VEGF levels in the EBC of ARDS patients can reflect the severity of lung injury. Therefore, VEGF level in EBC can be used as an auxiliary index for…[Read more]

These results indicate that the BMP2 gene may participate in sheep tail fat deposition and could be used for molecular-marker-assisted selection of sheep tail type.Orange byproduct (flavedo and albedo) from juice extraction, was used as raw material for this study. Kinetics of total phenolic and total flavonoid contents and antioxidant activity…[Read more]

The obvious periodic variations of 2-7, 8-15, 18-28, 75-96, and 100-125 years were found in the reconstruction sequence, in which the quasi-113, 88 and 22 years were the first, second and third main periods, respectively. These variations might potentially be the fingerprints of some climate change forces such as solar activity, monsoon and EI…[Read more]
