This study compared the potential ability of multinomial echocardiographic parameters in early detection, prediction and combined diagnosis of antineoplastic-related cardiotoxicity. Male Balb/c mice were repeatedly administered with low doses of …

Nanobubbles (NBs) have attracted great attention because of their potential role in interfacial science and application. Compared to surface NBs, bulk NBs have not been fully investigated due to lack of proper imaging techniques. Here, light scattering …

Macrophages are critical for regulation of inflammatory response during endotoxemia and septic shock. However, the mediators underlying their regulatory function remain obscure. Growth differentiation factor 3 (GDF3), a member of transforming growth …

Background: The Chinese medicine Huoxue Wentong Formula (HXWTF) was used to treat thoracic obstruction and angina pectoris in clinic, which has not been investigated in myocardial ischemia-induced apoptosis and angiogenic function. Here we aimed to …

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging based on the photon-to-ultrasound conversion allows the imaging of optical absorbers in deep tissues with high spatial resolution. However, the inherent optical absorbance of biomolecules (e.g., hemoglobin, melanin, etc.) would …

Heart failure continues to be a common and deadly sequela of myocardial infarction (MI). Despite strong evidence suggesting the importance of myocardial mechanics in cardiac remodelling, many MI studies still rely on two-dimensional analyses to estimate …

Aim: Surgical management of pediatric extrahepatic portal vein obstruction requires meso-Rex bypass using autologous or synthetic grafts. Tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) provide an alternative, but no validated animal models using portal TEVGs …

Background: Remodeling of the radial artery (RA) after transradial percutaneous coronary intervention (TRI) is under studied. Objectives: To examine the impact of TRI on RA diameter and intimal-medial thickness (IMT) in men and women using 55 Mhz …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the combination of intraoral ultra-high-frequency ultrasonography (UHFUS) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the evaluation of hard and soft tissues in a case of peri-implantitis. Study Design: …

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of ultra-high frequency ultrasound (UHFUS) imaging of intraoral soft tissue lesions. Study Design: The study included 160 patients presenting with oral soft tissue lesions …
