Among all research categories, fixation and fusion were the most common areas discussed. The screw-rod system described in the most-cited article (cited 823 times) appeared to be the most popular fixation method. With the development of C1 and C2 screw technology, the screw-rod system is becoming increasingly popular. CONCLUSIONS The atlantoaxial…[Read more]

A growing body of research has demonstrated that metacognitions are associated with alcohol use and other addictive behaviours. In the present study (N = 588), we investigated the validity of the Positive Alcohol Metacognitions Scale (PAMS) and the Negative Alcohol Metacognitions Scale (NAMS). The results supported two-factor solutions for both…[Read more]

INTRODUCTION A comprehensive characterisation of the tumour microenvironment is lacking in neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), where programmed cell death-1 receptor-ligand (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors are undergoing efficacy testing. OBJECTIVE We investigated drivers of cancer-related immunosuppression across NETs of various sites and grade using…[Read more]

troke and repeated revascularization. Conclusions and Relevance Total arterial revascularization was associated with improved long-term freedom from major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events, death, and myocardial infarction and may be the procedure of choice for patients with reasonable life expectancy requiring CABG.OBJECTIVES to identify…[Read more]

The diagnostic and therapeutic potential of Maackia amurensis agglutinin (MAA) have been reported in various malignancies. Earlier, we have found that MAA specifically interacted with human non-small cell lung-cancer (NSCLC) cells and induced apoptosis in these cells. The present study was designed to identify M. amurensis leukoagglutinin (MAL-I,…[Read more]

, Loprinzi, Veronese, Yao, Zhang and Yu.Previous studies have indicated that holistic face processing is important for the development of face perception. The purpose of this study was to verify the development trajectory of holistic processing, from older childhood to young adulthood, using the complete composite paradigm. Participants from three…[Read more]

officinalis pollen extract). The results of an in vitro ELISA revealed that 79.1% (n=19) of the patient sera were reactive to immunotherapy extracts. ELISA inhibition assay of the IgE binding to P. officinalis demonstrated inhibition values >70% in the sera of highly reactive patients, confirming the cross-reactivity between the two Parietaria…[Read more]

3%) and had a higher levels of brain natriuretic peptide (P  less then  0.001) and D-dimer (P  less then  0.001) than those without CV comorbidities. Independent risk factors associated with bronchiectasis exacerbations were the presence of comorbidities of cardiovascular diseases (odds ratio [OR] 2.503, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.298-4…[Read more]

Chilling injury, tissue browning, and fungal infection are the major problems of peach fruit during post-harvest storage. In this study, a precise temperature control cold storage with low-temperature fluctuation (LFT) and internal circulation flow system is designed. An ozone (O3) generator and a (titanium dioxide) TiO2 photocatalytic reactor…[Read more]

CONCLUSIONS Partial pork meat replacement by different legume flour (lentil, chickpea, pea, and bean), at levels of 80 and 150 g kg -1 and water/flour ratios of 1250, 1600 and 2000 g kg -1 resulted in low-fat burgers with adequate physicochemical characteristics. Moreover, the sensorial evaluation of the formulations with the maximum flour…[Read more]

ional AA. The influence of dietary vitamin D3 (VD3) levels on growth, bone performance, and duodenal type IIb sodium-dependent phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-IIb) genes in broiler chicken were studied. One-day-old male Ross308 broilers (n = 432) were allocated into 6 treatment groups with each group consisting of 6 cage pens. Each treatment group…[Read more]

CD38-targeted antibody, daratumumab, is approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). Phase 1/2 studies GEN501/SIRIUS revealed a novel immunomodulatory mechanism of action (MOA) of daratumumab that enhanced the immune response, reducing natural killer (NK) cells without affecting efficacy or safety. We further evaluated daratumumab’s…[Read more]
