Objective To assess the relationship between the hepatic vein Lipiodol tram-track sign during transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and perioperative death. Methods Patients treated for hepatic carcinoma at the Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2010 to December 2015 were retrospectively evaluated. The patients underwent hepatic TACE with Lipiodol. The ...

Translational research data are generated in multiple research domains from the bedside to experimental laboratories. These data are typically stored in heterogeneous databases, held by segregated research domains, and described with inconsistent terminologies. Such inconsistency and fragmentation of data significantly impedes the efficiency of tracking and analyzing human-centered records. To ...

Translocational pausing is a mechanism used by certain specialized secretory proteins whereby discrete domains of a nascent chain destined for the endoplasmic reticulum lumen are transiently exposed to the cytosol. Proteoliposomes reconstituted from total endoplasmic reticulum proteins properly assemble translocationally paused intermediates. The capacity of the translocon to correctly pause th...

During the cotranslational integration of a nascent protein into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, the transmembrane (TM) sequence moves out of an aqueous pore formed by Sec61alpha, TRAM, and other proteins and into the nonpolar lipid bilayer. Photocross-linking reveals that this movement involves the sequential passage of the TM domain through three different proteinaceous environments: one ...

The study of this study is to assess the current status and trend of the application of breast reconstruction in China.A retrospective review of all patients who had received surgical treatment for breast cancer in the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center between January 1999 and June 2014 was performed. The clinicopathological and epidemiological parameters and the follow-up information of ...

Toll–IL-1–resistance (TIR) domain–containing adaptor-inducing IFN(TRIF)–related adaptor molecule (TRAM) is the fourth TIR domain–containing adaptor protein to be described that participates in Toll receptor signaling. Like TRIF, TRAM activates interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-3, IRF-7, and NFB-dependent signaling pathways. Toll-like receptor (TLR)3 and 4 activate these pathways to induce IFN/...

Melbourne has one of the largest tram systems in the world yet access is difficult for many passengers, generally excluding people using wheelchairs and scooters and those with prams, luggage and shopping. Overcrowding from sustained increases in patronage and traffic congestion aggravate the problem, leading to longer travel times. The Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1992 and ...

Toll-IL-1-resistance (TIR) domain-containing adaptor-inducing IFN-beta (TRIF)-related adaptor molecule (TRAM) is the fourth TIR domain-containing adaptor protein to be described that participates in Toll receptor signaling. Like TRIF, TRAM activates interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-3, IRF-7, and NF-kappaB-dependent signaling pathways. Toll-like receptor (TLR)3 and 4 activate these pathways to...
