Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by a distinct pattern of hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau). Thought to be caused by repetitive concussive and subconcussive injuries, CTE is considered largely preventable. The majority of neuropathologically confirmed cases have occurred in professional contact sport athletes (eg, boxing, football). A recent post...

OBJECTIVE To provide a critical review of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) by considering the range of clinical presentations, neuropathology and the strength of evidence for CTE as a distinct syndrome. DATA SOURCES Seven electronic databases were searched using a combination of MeSH terms and key words to identify relevant articles. REVIEW METHODS Specific inclusion and exclusion cri...

Diabetes and obesity represent the major health problems and the most age-related metabolic diseases. Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) has emerged as an important regulator of insulin signal transduction and is regarded as a pharmaceutical target for metabolic disorders. To find novel natural materials presenting therapeutic activities against diabetes and obesity, we screened various he...

Objectives. The complimentary value of computed tomographic enterography (CTE) and double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) combined with capsule endoscopy (CE) was evaluated in the diagnosis of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). Methods. Patients who received CE examinations at Ruijin Hospital between July 2007 and July 2014 with the indication of OGIB were identified, and those who also underw...

Objective(s): Carthamus tinctorius L. (CT) or saffloweris widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. This study investigated the effects of CT extract (CTE) on ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) brain injury and elucidated the underlying mechanism. Materials and Methods: The I/R model was conducted by occlusion of both common carotid arteries and right middle cerebral artery for 90 min followed by 24...

The CTE-related loss for spectrophotometry of point sources with the STIS CCD is parametrized in terms of dependencies on the signal level of the source spectrum within the extraction box, the background level, and the signal in the point spread function located between the standard extraction box and the read-out amplifier. Primary constraints on the CTE correction algorithm are provided by es...

The correlation transport equation (CTE) is the natural generalization of the theory for diffusion correlation spectroscopy and represents a more precise model when dealing with measurements of particle movement in fluids or red blood cell flow in biological tissues. Unfortunately, the CTE is not methodically used due to the complexity of finding solutions. It is shown that actually a very simp...

Continuum mechanics for isotropic finite thermoelastic deformations have been reviewed. Thermal effects on mechanical responses of rubbers captured by the isomorphism continuum stored energy (CSE) functional with multiplicative decomposition deformation gradient while preserving structure symmetry structural deformation. The CSE model fits and predicts experimental data SR NR-C60 at different e...

Telomerase-reverse transcriptase (TERT) plays an essential catalytic role in maintaining telomeres. However, in animal systems telomerase plays additional non-telomeric functional roles. We previously screened an Arabidopsis cDNA library for proteins that interact with the C-terminal extension (CTE) TERT domain and identified a nuclear-localized protein that contains an RNA recognition motif (R...

Today, cross-sectional imaging modalities, such as computed tomography enterography (CTE) and magnetic resonance enterography (MRE), are particularly suited to evaluate small bowel diseases, especially Crohn's disease (CD). It is well known that CTE/MRE can provide excellent assessment of disease activity as well as the macroscopic features, extramural abnormalities, and complications of the sm...
