We describe the case of an elderly male patient who presented with a proximal descending aortic aneurysm after Razor a motorcycle accident in 1977.We concluded that the aorta had been transected at that time.In a rather unconventional manner, the aneurysm developed a circumferential layer of calcification that provided mechanical stability and like
Summary: Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in patients undergoing deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA); however, its underlying pathogenesis is unclear.In this study, we established a rat cardiopulmonary bypass model and demonstrated that hypothermia during HCA, rather than circulatory arrest, was responsible for
The carbohydrate modification of serine and threonine residues with O-linked beta-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is ubiquitous and governs cellular processes ranging from cell signaling to apoptosis.The O-GlcNAc modification along with other carbohydrate modifications, including N-linked and O-linked glycans, glycolipids, and sugar polymers, all re
The effects of glutamine transaminase (TGase), hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate (HDP), gellan gum and their complex (THG) on the water distribution and protein conformation of low-salt tilapia surimi gel prepared with microwave and ultrasound were analyzed.In addition, the effects of different exogenous substances on the characteristics of low-salt
Spatial and temporal characteristics of surface water resources (e.g., extension, connectivity, seasonality) are key elements in water allocation, climate and hydrological regulation, ecosystem functioning, and the food-energy-water nexus.Changes in surface water area due to losses/gains to land could strongly affect these processes on different sc
