Alveolar macrophage-derived gVPLA2 promotes ventilator-induced lung injury via the cPLA2/PGE2 pathway
Abstract Background Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is a clinical complication of mechanical ventilation observed in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.It is characterized by inflammation mediated by inflammatory cells and their secreted mediators.Methods To investigate the mechanisms underlying VILI, a Venture Ventronic Electr
Genetically engineered probiotics as catalytic glucose depriver for tumor starvation therapy
Cancer cells predominantly adapt the frequent but less efficient glycolytic process Mat Insert to produce ATPs rather than the highly efficient oxidative phosphorylation pathway.Such a regulated metabolic pattern in cancer cells offers promising therapeutic opportunities to kill tumors by glucose depletion or glycolysis blockade.In addition, to gua
Nerve Dependence in Colorectal Cancer
Cancerous invasion of nerves has been reported in a list of malignant tumors as a high-risk pathological feature and marker of poor disease outcome especially in neurotrophic cancers (such as in pancreas and prostate), indicating that although once neglected, nerves could have played a pivotal role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression.In colorec
Percutaneous tricuspid valve replacement in childhood
Percutaneous replacement of Bondage Collars the tricuspid valve with a bovine jugular venous valve (melody valve) was successfully undertaken in a 9-year-old boy.The patient had a previous history of bacterial endocarditis of the native tricuspid valve in infancy.Initially, a pericardial patch valve was created, followed by Colloidal Silver surgica
