Treatment strategy of esophageal cancer mainly depends on accurate staging. At present, no single ideal staging modality is superior to another in preoperative tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging of patients with esophageal cancer. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) for staging of esophageal cancer. We retrospectively studied 118 consecutive patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent ...

Angiotensin II (Ang II) is closely involved in endothelial injury during the development of hypertension. In this study, the protective effects of the tilapia by-product oligopeptide Leu-Ser-Gly-Tyr-Gly-Pro (LSGYGP) on oxidative stress and endothelial injury in Angiotensin II (Ang II)-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were evaluated. LSGYGP dose-dependently suppressed the fluorescence intensities of nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), inhibited the nuclear factor- ...

To examine the relative and absolute interrater reliability of handheld dynamometers (HHD) for assessing the lower extremity muscle strength, maximal voluntary contractions (MVCs) of 16 young adults for bilateral hip and knee muscles were tested using the break method. Three MVCs of each muscle group were required for obtaining the muscle strength. Participants' muscle strengths were tested by 2 raters. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and the smallest real differences (SRD) were used ...

Previous investigations have demonstrated that angiotensin (Ang) II induces inflammatory reactions and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous NOS inhibitor, might be a novel inflammatory factor. Endothelial cell activation was induced by incubation with Ang II or ADMA. Incubation with Ang II (10(-6) M) for 24 h elevated the levels of ADMA and decreased the levels of nitrite/nitrate concomitantly with a significant increase in the expression of protein arginine methyltransferase and a decrease ...

While phytoremediation has been considered as an in situ bioprocess to remediate environmental contaminants, the application of functional endophytic bacteria within plants remains a potential strategy that could enhance the plants' efficiency in phytoremediation. In this study, 219 endophytes were isolated from plants that are predominantly located in a constructed wetland, including reed (Phragmites australis) and water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica). Twenty-five strains of the isolated endophytes utilize ...

In order to evaluate the epidemiology of influenza A and its surface antigens (haemagglutinin [HA] and neuraminidase [NA]) for molecular epidemiology and evolution analysis during winter 2012-2013 in Beijing, China, we worked within the framework of the Chinese National Influenza Center and collected nasal swabs of patients presenting with influenza-like illness. We found that both A(H1N1)pdm09 (46.8%) and H3N2 (53.2%) viruses were the predominant strains during the 2012-2013 influenza epidemic. The ...

Background The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic usefulness of F-18 sodium fluoride (NaF) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) relative to Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate (MDP) planar bone scintigraphy with no CT (BS) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with suspicious bone metastasis. Methods Both Tc-99m MDP BS and F-18 NaF PET-CT were performed for 34 consecutive Taiwanese HCC patients (five female and 29 male; mean age, 61.0±12.0 ...

This nationwide population-based cohort study was based on data from 1998 to 2010 obtained from the Taiwanese National Health Insurance Research Database. We identified 11,708 women with thyroid cancer (≥15 and ≤50 years of age) by International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes. Patients were ...

Hip extensors belong to an important muscle group that controls standing, walking and other functional activities. The prone position (PP) is commonly used to measure the strength of the hip extensors; however, the reliability of such measurements is poor. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different testing positions, that is, the PP and the prone standing position (PSP), on the reliability of measurements of hip extensor strength. Intrasession reliability and interrater reliability ...

A major obstacle for the transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs) into the lesioned spinal cord is their predominant astrocytic differentiation after transplantation. We took advantage of this predominant astrocytic differentiation of NSCs and expressed the paradigmatic beneficial neural cell adhesion molecule L1 in radial glial cells and reactive and nonreactive astrocytes as novel cellular vehicles to express L1 under the control of the promoter for the human glial fibrillary acidic protein ( ...

The 2 main causes of primary aldosteronism (PA) are aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) and idiopathic adrenal hyperplasia (IAH). Dexamethasone-suppression (131)I-6beta-iodomethyl-19-norcholesterol (NP-59) adrenal scintigraphy can assess the functioning of the adrenal cortex. This study evaluated the diagnostic usefulness of NP-59 SPECT/CT in differentiating APA from IAH and in predicting postadrenalectomy clinical outcome for PA patients who had inconclusive adrenal venous sampling (AVS) and CT results. ...

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with SPECT is a well-established tool for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, soft-tissue attenuation is a common artifact that limits the diagnostic accuracy of MPI. The aim of this study was to determine whether attenuation correction (AC) improved the diagnostic performance of MPI, using coronary angiography as a reference standard. Methods: MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched until March 2015 for studies evaluating AC MPI for the diagnosis of ...

Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, has been implicated in vascular inflammation through induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and proinflammatory genes in endothelial cells. However, relatively few attentions have been paid to the effect of ADMA on monocytes, one of the important cells throughout all stages of atherosclerosis. In the present study, we found that reinioside C, the main component extracted from Polygala fallax Hemsl., dose-dependently ...

Premise Unique among vascular plants, some species of Selaginella have single giant chloroplasts in their epidermal or upper mesophyll cells (monoplastidy, M), varying in structure between species. Structural variants include several forms of bizonoplast with unique dimorphic ultrastructure. Better understanding of these structural variants, their prevalence, environmental correlates and phylogenetic association, has the potential to shed new light on chloroplast biology unavailable from any other ...
