Background: This study was carried out to evaluate the protective effects of a cell permeable antioxidant, Manganese (III) meso-tetrakis (N-ethylpyridinium-2-yl) porphyrin chloride (MnTE), alone or in combination with different concentration of Catalase on motility of frozenthawed goat semen. Materials and Methods: Fresh semen ejaculates were collected with artificial vagina from 3 goats, mixed...

Staged aortic aneurysm repair is one method used to decrease the risk of spinal cord ischemia (SCI) after endovascular intervention. Sequential sacrifice arteries perfusing spine might allow for improved perfusion through development collateral networks over time. To evaluate effect staging repairs on SCI, we conducted a conservative analysis Vascular Quality Initiative data. De-identified data...

Previously, we reported an association of mitomycin C resistance and a deficiency of NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) in HCT 116-R30A cells, a subline derived from mitomycin C-sensitive HCT 116 cells. In HCT 116 cells, we found two mRNAs coding full-length cDNAs of NQO1 differing at codon 139, one with arginine (wild type), and one with tryptophan. Only the tryptophan 139 form of mRNA was ...

adipocytokines, hormones secreted from adipose tissue, have been shown to be associated with many cancers such as breast, prostate and colorectal cancer. recent studies have indicated that resistin and visfatin, two of these adipokines have high level plasma concentrations in colorectal cancer patients and may be promising biomarkers for colorectal cancer. the aim of this study was to identify ...
