The ratios of GSSG/GSH and NADP+/NADPH increased, but the levels of both NAD+ and NADH decreased in the risk area of the infarcted heart after reperfusion. In addition, some reactive nitrogen species-related metabolites (tetrahydrobiopterin, arginine, and S-nitrosoglutathione) decreased and some lipid peroxides (4-hydroxy-2-nonenal,…[Read more]

Gingival expression of IL-6, TNF-α, RANKL/OPG ratio and periodontal bone loss in recipient mice were significantly reduced, and the expression of IL-10 and the number of CD19+ B cells were significantly increased after pre-immunized B10 cell transfer in the presence of antigen, compared to those with non-immunized B10 cell transfer or no antigen…[Read more]

947; 95% CI 0.931-0.962). A second panel consisting of C102, butyric acid, and pyruvic acid distinguished PCR+/not-hospitalized from PCR+/hospitalized and PCR+/intubated (AUC = 0.975; 95% CI 0.968-0.983). Only lysoPC a C280 differentiated PCR+/hospitalized from PCR+/intubated patients (AUC = 0.770; 95% CI 0.736-0.803). If additional studies…[Read more]

128; p = 0.015). Problematic mobile phone use and/or nomophobia may have an influence on decision-making in nursing students. Levels of procrastination, hypervigilance and “buck-passing” in nursing students are affected by mobile phone use throughout their training. These factors may affect their academic performance, as well as their…[Read more]

Background We examined whether telecommunication-device-based distance interviews are inferior to face-to-face interviews in terms of facilitating behavioral changes and disease management in patients with diabetic nephropathy. We also examined the feasibility of a newly designed six-month telenursing program. Methods This study represents a…[Read more]
