Inhibition of CD44 intracellular domain production suppresses bovine articular chondrocyte de-differentiation induced by excessive mechanical stress loading
(2019-10-17)
CD44 fragmentation is enhanced in chondrocytes of osteoarthritis (OA) patients. We hypothesized that mechanical stress-induced enhancement of CD44-intracellular domain (CD44-ICD) production plays an important role in the ...
Influence of Pre-Heating Regular Resin Composites and Flowable Composites on Luting Ceramic Veneers with Different Thicknesses
(2019-06-04)
The aim of this study was to evaluate of pre-heating, filler contents and ceramic thickness on film thickness, microshear bond strength, degree of conversion and color change on ceramic veneers. Two experimental composites ...
Impact of Fuel and Energy Complex on Sustainable Development of Mineral Extracting Regions: the World Experience
(2019-06-21)
The fossil fuel sectors and export of its products occupy a leading position in the economy of many countries and directly affect the sustainability of national economies. Therefore, in the long term an adequate vision of ...
Impact of body mass index on the incidence and severity of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis
(2019-03-12)
Background: Pancreatitis is a potential major complication after endoscopic retrograde
cholangiopancreatography (post-ERCP pancreatitis; PEP). Obesity has been associated with
increased severity of acute pancreatitis. ...
HTLV-1 basic leucine zipper factor protects cells from oxidative stress by upregulating expression of Heme Oxygenase I
(2019-06-28)
Adult T-cell Leukemia (ATL) is a lymphoproliferative disease of CD4+ T-cells infected with Human T-cell Leukemia Virus type I (HTLV-1). With the exception of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, there are ...
Inflammation and acute traffic-related air pollution exposures among a cohort of youth with type 1 diabetes
(2019-08-13)
Background:
Evidence remains equivocal regarding the association of inflammation, a precursor to cardiovascular disease, and acute exposures to ambient air pollution from traffic-related particulate matter. Though youth ...
Influence of maternal physical exercise on fetal and maternal heart rate responses
(2019-05-02)
This study aims to determine if regular maternal physical exercise leads to measurable adaptations of the fetal autonomic nervous system (fANS) tested by fetal heart rate recovery time. A randomized controlled trial enrolled ...
Horizontal and vertical self-paced saccades as a diagnostic marker of traumatic brain injury
(2019-07-25)
Eye tracking tests to measure horizontal and vertical saccades as a proxy for neural deficits associated
with traumatic brain injury (TBI) were evaluated in the present study. Methodology: A total of 287 participants ...
Improved respiratory motion tracking through a novel fiducial marker placement guidance system during electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy (ENB)
(2019)
Background:
Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is a treatment option for patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and recurrent or oligometastatic disease who are not surgical candidates. Due ...
How Pre-tenure and Tenured Faculty Can Engage Undergraduates in Publishable Research
(2019-02-06)
Differences in career stage may influence work stress and job satisfaction (Olsen and
Crawford, 1998), which in turn can impact attitudes about recruiting, managing, and mentoring
undergraduates in publishable research ...
