Past studies have identified hepatic tumors with mixed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CC) characteristics that have a more aggressive behavior and a poorer prognosis than classic HCC. Whether this pathologic heterogeneity is due to …

Mouse prostate, seminal vesicles and rectum imaged in B-Mode. … … Pelvic Organs in a Male Mouse …

There exist limited data on the relative degree of acute injury and late healing of the radial artery after transradial artery (TRA) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a 7F sheathless guide catheter compared with a 6F sheath/guide combination. …

Background/Aims: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) can suppress immunologic damage in myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI), however, the isolation and ex vivo expansion of these cells for clinical application remains challenging. Here, we investigated …

AIMS: The aim of our study was to set up a simple and reliable isolation method of living ventricular cardiomyocytes (vCMs) for molecular and biological studies. METHODS: A standard technique for the retrograde perfusion of an enzymatic solution was used …

Objectives: This study aimed to demonstrate the capacity for noninvasive localisation and characterisation of myocardial infarction (MI) in vivo using a hemispherical photoacoustic imaging (PAI) system. MI remains a leading cause of morbidity and …

Background: In the setting of metastatic RCC (mRCC), pazopanib is approved as first line therapy. Unfortunately treatment may lead to cardiotoxicity such as hypertension, heart failure, and myocardial ischemia. Objective: Define the in vivo role of …

Color Doppler image of the right ovary in a mouse, imaged with color Doppler. … … Mouse Ovary …

Reducing oxidative stress is a crucial therapeutic strategy for ameliorating diabetic myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury. Honokiol (HKL) acts as an effective cardioprotective agent for its strong antioxidative activity. However, its roles and …

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a common cardiovascular disease with high mortality. The aim of the present study was to determine the biological role of miR-145 in MI rats and hypoxia-injured cardiomyocytes and to eluci- date the potential mechanism. MI …
