AIM To investigate whether gut microbiota metabolite sodium butyrate (NaB) is an effective
substance for attenuating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the internal …

The anterolateral thigh flap, first described by Song, is one of the septocutaneous flaps in the
thigh. Since November 1985 we have transferred 32 anterolateral thigh flaps successfully …

Antagonists of glutamate receptors of the N-methyl-d-aspartate subclass (NMDAR) or
inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) prevent nervous system plasticity. Inflammatory and …

AIM: To evaluate the performance of a novel non-invasive controlled attenuation parameter (CAP)
to assess liver steatosis. METHODS: This was a multi-center prospective cohort study. …

Intraspinal injection of quisqualic acid (QUIS) produces excitotoxic injury with pathophysiological
characteristics similar to those associated with ischemic and traumatic spinal cord …

Background & Aims Controlled attenuation parameter ( CAP ) is a non‐invasive method for
evaluating hepatic steatosis. However, larger skin capsular distance ( SCD ) can affect the …

In the present study, Ir nanoparticles are deposited on the surface of IrO 2 nanoparticles with
microwave-assisted polyol process. Then the obtained Ir–IrO 2 nanocomposite is used as a …

Object. Local spinal cord cooling (LSCC) is associated with beneficial effects when applied
following ischemic or traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the clinical application of …

Background and Aims The interaction between hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and hepatic
steatosis remains unclear. We aimed to explore the trend of prevalence of hepatic steatosis …

Activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), which is regulated by multiple signal transduction
pathways, is the key event in liver fibrosis. Moreover, members of these pathways are …
