In this study, we found the serum prealbumin level was negatively correlated with the incidence of HE in patients with HBV-DeCi. Prealbumin was significantly decreased in HBV-DeCi patients with HE, and was negatively correlated with traditional score models, including MELD and CTP. Moreover, univa...
Using a passive smoking model in rats, Nemoto et al. [56] found cracks, tears, and dislocations in the intervertebral discs. A recent study [58] has also shown that smoking and tetramer tryptase accelerate intervertebral disc degeneration by inducing methyltransferase 14-mediated dishevelled-axin ...
CTA has the advantages of simplicity, noninvasiveness, and inexpensiveness compared with DSA, which is widely used in clinical practice [1]. It can clearly reflect the anatomical characteristics of the vascular direction, the relationship between blood vessels and tumors, and shows the variation of ...
Mast cells play an important role in stress-mediated responses and are known to be activated during neuroinflammation [8,9,10]. The degranulation of mast cells causes exocytosis of membrane-bound granules, which results in the release of inflammatory mediators such as histamine, tryptase, cytokines...
including the fraction showing MPO expression as markers of systemic inflammation in AIH. Materials and methods. The study included a group of 25 patients with AIH and 20 healthy volunteers. Mononuclear cells, isolated from peripheral blood, were labelled with monoclonal antibodies conjugated to the ...
