Abstract
We hypothesized that ESRD patients with relative thrombocytosis (platelet count >300 × 10(3)/μL) have a higher mortality rate and that this association may be related to malnutrition-inflammation cachexia syndrome (MICS).
We examined the associations of 3-mo-averaged platelet count...

Abstract
Botulinum type A toxin (BoNT/A) is defined by its specific endopeptidase cleavage of SNAP25 between Gln(197) and Arg(198) under reducing conditions. The neurotoxin is widely used for therapeutic or cosmetic purposes, but should not contain other toxin serotypes or unwanted protease activities. Using...

Abstract
We sought to determine whether postcaesarean treatment with whey peptides (WP) affects the healing of skin and uterine incision in rats during puerperium. Forty-eight rats were randomly divided into two groups. After a caesarean section, twenty-four rats were intragastrically administered WP, while...

Abstract
There were significant differences in the AUCs of the haemodynamic parameters between colloids and lactated Ringer's solution in the cardiac index and global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI); human albumin vs. lactated Ringer's solution in stroke volume variation (SVV); and succinylated gelatin, H...

Abstract
We have previously shown that liver progenitor (oval) cells can be used as a platform for liver gene delivery of human alpha1-antitrypsin (hAAT). However, this cell source cannot be used in humans for autologous transplantation. In the present study, we tested the feasibility of bone marrow (BM) cel...

Abstract
A rapid and sensitive voltammetric sensor based on reduction of betamethasone has been developed using single wall carbon nanotube modified edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrode (SWNT/EPPGE). The reduction of betamethasone occurred in a well-defined, pH dependent peak. Linear calibration curve was...

The purpose of this study was to investigate clinical-biological factors which could predict the sensitivity to chemoradiotherapy of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). One hundred eighty-one patients with stages I-IV ESCC were evaluated. The cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1),...

Abstract
We investigated the influence of leucine supplementation on insulin secretion and on some proteins related to insulin secretion in malnourished mice.
Swiss mice (aged 21 days) received isocaloric normo-17% (NP) or 6% low-protein (LP) diet for 120 days. Half of the NP and LP mice received 1.5% leucin...

The B-mode image quality of vessels has markedly increased with the advent of new transducer technologies. Morphological changes of the vessel wall, ulcerations, dissections or wall lesions benefit from non-Doppler dependent flow imaging methods. Two-dimensional imaging of the elasticity of the vess...

The efficacy of the combination of angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in patients of type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) with nephropathy is debatable. The antialbuminuric efficacy of dual blockade in patients of type 1 DM with micro- or macroabuminuria...

Abstract
Our findings suggest that decreased albumin endocytosis in PTECs following PSI treatment involve an Ang II-dependent pathway via AT(1)R. The albumin receptor megalin may play a more crucial role than cubulin, since its expression correlated directly with albumin uptake.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that albumin is directly involved in the formation of cytoplasmic lipid droplets in pancreatic stellate cells and may act as a downstream effector of adipogenic transcription factors, PPAR-gamma and C/EBP-alpha. Here, we investigated the role of albumin in adipocyte d...

Yttrium-90 ((90)Y)-microspheres administered via the hepatic artery has been used for the treatment of unresectable primary or metastatic cancer in the liver. Prior to (90)Y therapy, however, the (90)Y administered activity and the percent shunting to lungs must be determined, most commonly by gamma...

Abstract
We developed a cryopreservation method using an organotypical sandwich model in a flat membrane bioreactor (FMB). We measured albumin secretion rate, urea synthesis rate and 7-ethoxy coumarin (ECOD) in long-term cultures of cryopreserved cells (up to 14 days). The albumin secretion rate was 62% that...

Abstract
Dextrans are rarely used because of their negative effects on coagulation and potential for anaphylactic reactions. Gelatin and albumin have little effect on hemostasis, but the disadvantages of gelatin include its high anaphylactoid potential and limited beneficial volume effect. Tetrastarches have...

We developed microfluidic-based pure chitosan microfibers (approximately 1 meter long, 70-150 microm diameter) for liver tissue engineering applications. Despite the potential of the chitosan for creating bio-artificial liver chips, its major limitation is the inability to fabricate pure chitosan-ba...

We report a technique to induce hepatocyte aggregate formation using type-I collagen-coated poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) discrete aligned nanofibers (disAFs) by providing limited cell-substrate adhesion strength and restricting cell migration to uniaxial movement. Kinetics of aggregate formation, morp...
