A novel, fast and simple method was developed to fabricate poly(acrylic acid sodium salt) microspheres (PAAS MSs). The resulting PAAS MSs were utilized as active templates to universally synthesize the mesoporous lanthanide-doped gadolinium oxide hollow nanospheres with multicolored upconversion emissions under mild conditions.

Milwaukee shoulder syndrome (MSS) is a rare destructive, calcium phosphate crystalline arthropathy. It encompasses an effusion that is noninflammatory with numerous aggregates of calcium hydroxyapatite crystals in the synovial fluid, associated with rotator cuff defects. We describe a patient that presented with recurrent shoulder pain and swelling with characteristic radiographic changes and M...

Introduction: Post-irradiation mammary stromal sarcoma (MSS) is a rare condition, and it worth learning new knowledge from each case. Case Presentation: We present the case report of 59-year-old female with medical history breast cancer, who presented an axillary mass on same side. The patient was further evaluated finally diagnosed MSS chondroid differentiation. Thereafter, she underwent neoad...

BACKGROUND Activin receptor 2 (ACVR2) is commonly mutated in microsatellite unstable (MSI) colon cancers, leading to protein loss, signaling disruption, and larger tumors. Here, we examined activin signaling disruption in microsatellite stable (MSS) colon cancers. METHODS Fifty-one population-based MSS colon cancers were assessed for ACVR1, ACVR2 and pSMAD2 protein. Consensus mutation-prone p...

The striatum is thought to play an important role in the spreading of epilepsy from cortical areas to deeper brain structures, but this issue has not been addressed with intracellular techniques. Paired recordings were used to assess the impact of cortical epileptiform activity on striatal neurons in brain slices. Bath-application of 4-amynopyridine (100 microM) and bicuculline (20 microM) indu...

The Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome (MSS) (MIM 248800) is an autosomal recessive condition characterised by cataracts, ataxia, and growth and mental retardation. Chronic myopathy is a common feature. Peripheral neuropathy and acute rhabdomyolysis have been described occasionally in MSS. To date, no gene for it has been localised. Congenital cataracts-facial dysmorphism-neuropathy syndrome (CCFDN) (M...
