Background Helicobacter pylori infection is a significant burden to the public health in China as it can lead to various gastric diseases including peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. Since most infections occurred during childhood, it is therefore necessary to understand the prevalence and risk determinants of this bacterial infection in children. Herewith, we conducted a cross-sectional study in the Kuichong Subdistrict of Shenzhen City to assess the prevalence and risk factors of H. pylori infection...

Holometabola is a hyperdiverse group characterised by a strong morphological differentiation between early post-embryonic stages (= larvae) and adults. Adult forms of Holometabola, such as wasps, bees, beetles, butterflies, mosquitoes or flies, are strongly differentiated concerning their mouth parts. The larvae most often seem to retain rather plesiomorphic-appearing cutting-grinding mouth parts. Here we report a new unusual larva preserved in Burmese amber. Its mouth parts appear beak-like, forming...

Background Most research investigating the connection between walking and visual behaviour has assessed only eye movements (not head orientation) in respect to locomotion over smooth surfaces in a laboratory. This is unlikely to reflect gaze changes found over the complex surfaces experienced in the real world, especially given that eye and head movements have rarely been assessed simultaneously. Research question How...

Background and objective Recently, several studies have investigated the prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at high altitude (>1,500 m). However, much remains to be understood about the correlation between altitude and COPD. We aimed to summarize the prevalence of COPD at high-altitudes and find out if altitude could be a risk factor for COPD. Methods We searched PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, SCOPUS, OVID, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database...

Osteoporosis is a major public health problem that is associated with high morbidity and mortality, and its prevalence is increasing as the world’s population ages. Therefore, understanding the molecular basis of the disease is becoming a high priority. In this regard, studies have shown that an imbalance in adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is associated with osteoporosis. In this study, we conducted a Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis...

In the age of phylogenetic comparative methods, evolutionary biologists have been able to explore evolutionary trends in form in unique and extraordinarily diverse groups of animals. Pleuronectiformes, commonly known as flatfishes, is a diverse and specialized order of fishes that have remarkable asymmetry induced by ocular migration and a benthic life style. Although flatfishes are unique from other fishes, species within the group are morphologically diverse. The origin of ocular migration has...

We report a case of ocular decompression retinopathy (ODR) with macular edema, diagnosed by optical coherence tomography, after a deep sclerectomy (DS) with an intrascleral implant, resolved with medical therapy 6 months later. The medical literature reports that in 14% of patients suffering from ODR, a pars plana vitrectomy was required, and 15% of patients had a poor final visual acuity. An otherwise healthy 75-year-old man with high myopia and a primary open-angle glaucoma, with previous intraocular...

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a dismal disease. Recurrence is inevitable despite initial surgery and postoperative temozolomide (TMZ) and radiotherapy. Salvage surgery is the standard treatment in selected patients. Chemotherapy, biological agents, and re-irradiation are other treatment approaches available. Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is nowadays a common treatment as a salvage treatment option. Materials and Methods: We reviewed the files of 132 GBM cases treated between 2010 and 2018....

Introduction: Cytochrome (CYP) epoxygenases (CYP2C and CYP2J) and soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) participate in the metabolism of arachidonic acid and may also have a potential role in enterocyte differentiation. The first critical step in the study of intestinal cell differentiation is the determination of a suitable in vitro model, which must be as similar as possible to the conditions of a living organism. It is known that HT-29 and Caco2 cell lines derived from human colorectal carcinomas can...

Τα υψηλά επίπεδα λιποπρωτεϊνών χαμηλής πυκνότητας (LDL) ή «κακής» χοληστερόλης όπως συνηθίζουμε να τη λέμε, έχουν συσχετιστεί από καιρό με μεγαλύτερο κίνδυνο καρδιακών παθήσεων. Ωστόσο, η έρευνα έχει δείξει ότι περίπου το 75% των ατόμων που είχαν υποστεί καρδιακά επεισόδια δεν είχαν επικίνδυνα υψηλά επίπεδα LDL. Μια μελέτη που δημοσιεύθηκε στο International Journal of Nanomedicine επισημαίνει ότι οι υψηλές τιμές μιας υποκατηγορίας LDL μπορεί να είναι ισχυρότερος παράγοντας πρόβλεψης πιθανών καρδιακών...

Abstract Aims To identify image quality criteria that can be applied to assess breast implant (BI) mammograms according to radiologists and radiographers’ perspectives and to explore the level of agreement about criteria priority. Methods A two-round Delphi method using a questionnaire was applied to identify the level of agreement between...
