OBJECTIVE In view of the previously described anti-inflammatory effects of insulin, we investigated the potential suppressive effect of insulin on plasma concentrations and expression of the chemokines, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and regulated on activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) and their receptors, chemokine receptor (CCR)-2 and CCR-5, in mononuclear cel...

Optical sensors for detecting temperature and strain play a crucial role in the analysis of environmental conditions and real-time remote sensing. However, the development of a single optical device that can sense temperature and strain simultaneously remains a challenge. Here, a flexible corner cube retroreflector (CCR) array based on passive dual optical sensing (temperature and strain) is de...

Renal clearance function and urinary albumin excretion are important markers for diabetic nephropathy. We assessed whether the creatinine clearance rate (CCR) and daily urinary albumin (DUA) excretion, which both require 24-hour urine data, are better predictors of mortality in diabetic inpatients compared with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin-creatinine ratio (...

In many bacteria glucose is the preferred carbon source and represses the utilization of secondary substrates. In Bacillus subtilis, this carbon catabolite repression (CCR) is achieved by the global transcription regulator CcpA, whose activity is triggered by the availability of its phosphorylated cofactors, HPr(Ser46-P) and Crh(Ser46-P). Phosphorylation of these proteins is catalyzed by the me...

Com o avanço da tecnologia nos últimos anos a inteligência artificial (IA) foi desenvolvida com objetivo de realizar tarefas que se assemelhem ao comportamento humano racional através do aprendizado profundo e máquinas. A associação IA gastroenterologia visa favorecer identificação lesões precursoras câncer colorretal (CCR). nível mundial CCR é terceira neoplasia mais prevalente quarta causa ób...

Recent advances in biotechnology have led to discoveries resulting in major improvements in the therapy of refractory malignancies, although most advanced cancers remain incurable. Thus, there is global consensus around the need to streamline the drug approval process for effective agents. Accelerated Approval and Breakthrough Therapy Designation hold the promise of making new treatments availa...

Abstract Aims Current guidelines recommend surveillance colonoscopy at one year following Colorectal Cancer Resection (CCR), yearly CT chest, abdomen and pelvis, CEA, in 3 years. Previous studies showed no significant difference between CTC detection rates of colorectal cancer or polyps >6mm. A review abnormalities detected on colonoscopies CCR. If the incidence is low Colonography (CTC)...

Students’ self-determination (SD), parental involvement (PI), special education teachers’ support (SETS) in non-academic skills, and college career readiness (CCR) among secondary students with learning disabilities (SLDs) have been assessed from various perspectives. This study focuses on understanding the levels relationship between students’ SD, PI, SETS CCR SLDs schools point of view SLDs, ...
