background and aims: rubella is a contagious viral disease mostly with mild clinical symptoms and often remains undiagnosed. rubella infection may adversely affect pregnancy, especially in the first trimester and this mother to child transmission can cause congenital rubella and may be lead to permanent disability and mortality in children. effective rubella vaccine should be prepared using sui...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the comparative diagnostic value of harmonic imaging (HI) in the assessment of patients with suspected infective endocarditis (IE). SETTING Tertiary referral centre. DESIGN 139 consecutive patients were evaluated with three imaging modalities: transthoracic echocardiography with fundamental imaging (FI); HI; and transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE). Image quality wa...

The aim of our study was to evaluate whether hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) was an effective therapy for neonatal hypoxic ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Seven-day-old rat pups were divided into 3 groups: sham, hypoxia-ischemia (HI) control and HI-HBO group. HBO was administered for HI rats daily. The pathologic changes in brain tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (H-E) staining. The immunoh...

The microRNAs miR-144 and -451 are encoded by a bicistronic gene that is strongly induced during red blood cell formation (erythropoiesis). Ablation of the miR-144/451 gene in mice causes mild anemia under baseline conditions. Here we show that miR-144/451-/- erythroblasts exhibit increased apoptosis during recovery from acute anemia. Mechanistically, miR-144/451 depletion increases the express...

We present the joint analysis of Neutral Hydrogen (HI) Intensity Mapping observations with three galaxy samples: Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) and Emission Line (ELG) samples from eBOSS survey, WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey sample. The HI intensity maps are Green Bank Telescope redshifted 21cm emission on 100deg2 covering redshift range $0.6<z<1.0$. process data by separating removing foregrounds Fast...

lncRNA-TUG1 (Taurine upregulated 1) is up-regulated and highly correlated with poor prognosis and disease status in osteosarcoma. TUG1 knockdown inhibits osteosarcoma cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and promotes apoptosis. However, its mechanism of action has not been well addressed. Growing evidence documented that lncRNA works as competing endogenous (ce)RNAs to modulate the expre...

Inflammation and neuroprotective strategies in the immature brain after hypoxic-ischemic brain injury Pernilla Svedin, 2008, Perinatal Center, Department of Physiology, Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology, University of Gothenburg, Box 432, 405 30 Göteborg Sweden Perinatal brain injury, as a result of hypoxia-ischemia (HI) or infection/HI, is a major cause of acute mortality and neurologic...
