RESTRICTED T-CELL REPERTOIRE IN THE EPICARDIAL ADIPOSE TISSUE OF NON-ST SEGMENT ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION PATIENTS

Restricted T-Cell Repertoire in the Epicardial Adipose Tissue of Non-ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients

AimsHuman epicardial adipose tissue, a dynamic source of multiple bioactive factors, holds a close functional and anatomic relationship with the epicardial coronary arteries and communicates with the coronary artery wall through paracrine and vasocrine secretions.We explored the hypothesis that T-cell recruitment into epicardial adipose tissue (EAT

Non-Invasive Iontophoretic Delivery of Cytochrome c to the Posterior Segment and Determination of Its Ocular Biodistribution

The intact porcine eye globe model was used to demonstrate that transscleral iontophoresis could deliver a small protein, cytochrome c (Cyt c), to the posterior segment and to investigate post-iontophoretic biodistribution in the different ocular compartments.The effects of Cyt c concentration (1, 5, and 10 mg/mL), current density (3.5 and 5.5 mA/c

Definition of malnutrition from routinely-collected data for orthopedic surgery research: the global leadership initiative on malnutrition (GLIM) tool and others

The correct identification of malnourished patients in the context of hip, knee, or spine surgery research would enhance the quality of analytical studies investigating the prediction potential of preoperative nutritional disorders on postoperative recovery.However, accurate malnutrition screening and diagnostic assessment rely on parameters that w
