Facial Plast SurgDOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1713791The tissues of the medial arm as a donor site for perforator flap design have several advantages. However, they are relatively underused with limited reports, partly due to unreliable perforator anatomy. Therefore, we aimed to review our preliminary experience using indocyanine green (ICG) angiography to design and elevate preexpanded pedicled brachial artery perforator (BAP) flaps for regional reconstruction. All patients underwent soft tissue reconstructions...

Abstract Nemonoxacin is a novel non-fluorinated quinolone. The effect of nemonoxacin on modulation of host immune response is not known. We sought to determine whether nemonoxacin has immunoprotective effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse sepsis model. Therefore, mice were challenged with lethal dose LPS (12.5 mg/kg) only or LPS with multi-dose nemonoxacin (40 mg/kg q12h) by intraperitoneal injection, and the results showed...

Background. The Baveno VI criteria based on platelet count and liver stiffness, measured by transient elastography (TE), have been proposed to rule out high-risk varices (HRV) defined as medium or large-sized varices or the presence of high-risk stigmata (cherry red spots and red wale marks). However, TE is not available in all hospitals. Recently, the Rete Sicilia Selezione Terapia hepatitis C virus (RESIST-HCV) criteria recommended that cirrhotic patients with a and could avoid esophagogastroduodenoscopy...

Diabetic nephropathy (DN), one of the most common and severe microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus (DM), is an important risk factor for DM patient’s death. Nowadays, DN has become the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in most countries without effective therapeutic methods. Recently, the renoprotective effects mediated by vitamin D (VD) and vitamin D receptor (VDR) have been evidenced. VD, a kind of steroid with the active form 1,25(OH)2D3, has been known for the crucial...

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are subsets of cells with the ability of self-renewal and differentiation in neoplasm, which are considered to be related to tumor heterogeneity. It has been reported that CSCs act on tumorigenesis and tumor biology of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, the key genes that cause TNBC showing stem cell characteristics are still unclear.
