Plasma matrix metalloproteinases are associated with incident cardiovascular ...
Abstract Background Altered regulation of extracellular matrix remodeling by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP) may contribute to... -
Long-term survival and prognostic factors for locally advanced renal cell car...
Abstract Background Previous related studies have mainly focused on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with venous tumor thrombus, specifically inferior vena cava tumor thrombus with... -
Distinct core promoter codes drive transcription initiation at key developmen...
Abstract Background Development is largely driven by transitions between transcriptional programs. The initiation of transcription at appropriate sites in the genome is a key... -
MiR-1-3p that correlates with left ventricular function of HCM can serve as a...
Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that function as regulators of gene expression and thereby contribute to the complex disease phenotypes. Hypertrophic... -
Long-term changes in renal function after treatment initiation and the import...
Abstract Background The present study aimed to investigate associations between long-term renal function, whether IgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) was diagnosed... -
TSS seq based core promoter architecture in blood feeding Tsetse fly (Glossin...
Abstract Background Transcription initiation regulation is mediated by sequence-specific interactions between DNA-binding proteins (transcription factors) and cis-elements,... -
Urinary chitinase 3-like protein 1 for early diagnosis of acute kidney injury...
Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently and adversely affects patient and kidney outcomes, especially when its severity increases from stage 1 to stages... -
Multiphoton in vivo imaging with a femtosecond semiconductor disk laser
We use an ultrafast diode-pumped semiconductor disk laser (SDL) to demonstrate several applications in multiphoton microscopy. The ultrafast SDL is based on an optically pumped... -
Reduced expression of miR-146a in human bronchial epithelial cells alters neu...
Abstract Background The role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis and determining the phenotypes of asthma is not fully elucidated. miR-146a has been previously shown to suppress... -
Downregulation of miR-204 expression defines a highly aggressive subset of Gr...
Abstract Genome-wide expression profiling studies have identified four core molecular subgroups of medulloblastoma: WNT, SHH, Group 3 and Group 4. Molecular markers are... -
Point-of-care ultrasound curriculum for internal medicine residents: what do ...
Abstract Background Point-of-care Ultrasound is a relative new diagnostic tool for internists. Since 2019, it is a mandatory skill for internal medicine residents in the... -
Chromosomal integration vectors allowing flexible expression of foreign genes...
Abstract Background Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of human gastroenteritis yet there is limited knowledge of how disease is caused. Molecular genetic approaches are... -
Clinical predictors of renal non-recovery in acute respiratory distress syndrome
Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common extra-pulmonary organ failure in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Renal recovery after AKI is... -
The incidence, risk factors, and long-term outcomes of acute kidney injury in...
Abstract Background Emerging evidence has demonstrated that acute kidney injury (AKI) is an important risk factor associated with increased morbidity and mortality in diabetic... -
Connexin32 plays a crucial role in ROS-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress ...
Abstract Background Ischemia–reperfusion (I/R)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) not only prolongs the length of hospital stay, but also seriously affects the patient’s survival... -
Myocardial infarction and mortality following joint surgery in patients with ...
Abstract Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and post-MI fatality compared with the general population. In a... -
Retinoid acid-induced microRNA-31-5p suppresses myogenic proliferation and di...
Abstract Background We previously reported that Wnt5a/CaMKIIδ (calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II delta) pathway was involved in the embryonic tongue deformity... -
Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes protect beta cells against hypoxia-ind...
Abstract Background Hypoxia is a major cause of beta cell death and dysfunction after transplantation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exosomes derived... -
