Objectives: Ultra-high frequency ultrasonography (UHFUS) is a recently introduced diagnostic technique which finds several applications in diverse clinical fields. The range of frequencies between 30 and 100 MHz allows for high spatial resolution imaging …

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Tongmai Yangxin pill (TMYX) is derived from the Zhigancao decoction recorded in Shang han lun by Zhang Zhongjing during the Han dynasty and was further improved by Professor Ruan Shiyi, a cardiovascular expert at Tianjin …

Promoting tumor angiogenesis effectively and specifically to resolve tumor-associated hypoperfusion holds promise for improving pancreatic cancer therapy. Herein, a doxorubicin (DOX) loaded smart liposome, MC-T-DOX, is constructed, that carries …

Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury is a leading cause of damage to cardiac tissues and is associated with high mortality and disability rates worldwide. Oxypaeoniflorin (OPA) has been found to be the main constituent of Paeonia veitchii Lynch. …

This study used a laboratory experiment with monetary incentives to test the impact of three personal factors (moral reasoning, value orientation and risk preference), and three situational factors (the presence/absence of audits, tax inequity, and peer …

Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a ventricular disease caused by diabetes mellitus. Abnormalities in the function of the glucokinase (GCK) play an important role in the development of diabetes. The present study is aimed at exploring changes in gene expression …

Determining the origin of different glial subtypes is crucial to understand glial heterogeneity, and to enhance our knowledge of glial and progenitor cell behavior in embryos and adults. NG2-glia are homogenously distributed in a grid-like manner in both, …

Background: Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury has become a global public health concern. An increasing amount of evidence has shown that polyphyllin I (PPI) has anti-apoptotic and antioxidant functions. This study was performed to evaluate the …

Background: Indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography gained widespread acceptance as a gold standard in lymphatic surgery, although this imaging modality has several limitations. Ultrasound is progressively emerging as a powerful tool in LVA preoperative …

Echocardiographers with specialized expertise sometimes perform myocardial perfusion imaging using U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved microbubbles in an off-label capacity, correlating microbubble replenishment in the near field with blood flow …
