A rostrocaudal (RCd) nasal view was developed in large breed mesaticephalic dogs using a complete, subsequently sectioned, skull and cadaver specimens to optimise the radiographic technique and evaluate normal anatomic features. Gelatin was placed in one nasal passage of the cadaver specimens to mimic the effects of nasal pathology. The latter specimens and 18 clinical cases with suspected nasa...

Moraxella catarrhalis causes acute otitis media in children and lower respiratory tract infections in adults and elderly. In children the presence of antibodies against the highly conserved outer membrane protein CD correlates with protection against infection, suggesting that this protein may be useful as a vaccine antigen. However, native CD is difficult to purify, and it is still unclear if ...

Purpose. To describe the characteristics of rod and cone functions in rat models for congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) and retinal cone dysfunction (RCD). Methods. Rod and cone function were isolated by recording the rod-/cone-driven flicker and blue light flicker electroretinograms (ERGs). Results. During dark adaptation, the amplitudes of flicker ERGs in CSNB rats were lower than t...

INTRODUCTION The pathogenesis of rotator cuff disease (RCD) is complex and not fully understood. This systematic review set out to summarise the histological and molecular changes that occur throughout the spectrum of RCD. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of the scientific literature with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS A total of 101 studies met the inclusion cri...

The oxygen flux into the mitochondria of skeletal muscle increases with exercise. However, the extent of oxidative damage to mitochondrial proteins of skeletal muscle has only been estimated. We studied the alteration of reactive carbonyl derivatives (RCD) in mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions of skeletal muscle following 9 weeks of swimming training in rats. The RCD content of mitochondria ...

In this paper, we consider resolvable k-cycle decompositions (for short, k-RCD) of Km ×Kn, where × denotes the tensor product of graphs. It has been proved that the standard necessary conditions for the existence of a k-RCD of Km × Kn are sufficient when k is even. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

BACKGROUND Intestinal exposure to gliadin leads to zonulin upregulation and consequent disassembly of intercellular tight junctions and increased intestinal permeability. We aimed to study response to gliadin exposure, in terms of barrier function and cytokine secretion, using intestinal biopsies obtained from four groups: celiac patients with active disease (ACD), celiac patients in remission ...

BACKGROUND Growing evidence shows that herb medicines have some anti-osteoporotic effects, the mechanism underlying is unknown. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effect of Chinese herb supplements on rats that had osteoporosis-like symptom induced by ovariectomy (OVX). METHODS OVX or sham operations were performed on virgin Wistar rats at three-month old, which were randomly divi...

Abstract Unique continuation of harmonic functions on RCD {\operatorname{RCD}} space is a long-standing open problem, with little known even in the setting Alexandrov spaces. In this paper, we establish weak unique theorem for ⁡ ( K , 2...
