The excessive use of smartphones is associated with various medical complications and mental health problems. However, existing research findings on neurobiological mechanisms behind problematic smartphone are limited. In this study, we investigated functional connectivity in users, focusing the default mode network (DMN) attentional networks. We hypothesized that users would have alterations between DMN networks such correlate severity use. This study included 30 35 non-problematic users....

The association of Lewis antigen phenotype with survival patients pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma was investigated.A total 1187 diagnosed were evaluated in a prospective cohort. Patients classified into 3 different groups according to phenotype: (1) A positive [Le(a+b-)], (2) B [Le(a-b+)], and (3) negative [Le(a-b-)]. Risk mortality analyzed Cox regression after adjusting for other predictors.The risk increased the order Le(a+b-), Le(a-b+), Le(a-b-) [reference; hazard ratio (HR), 1.27; 95%...

In the gastrointestinal tract, immune system must protect against potential pathogens whilst preventing destructive inflammatory responses to host commensal microlfora. This is achieved in part through a complex and active network of specialized cells regulatory cytokines. Breakdown this dynamic balance between response regulation likely be major contributor Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The importance populations lymphocytes maintaining intestinal homeostasis well established, but...

The maintenance of intestinal immune homeostasis involves a complex interplay between the luminal microbiota, barrier epithelial cells and system. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is thought to arise from breakdown this mutual relationship dysregulation responses commensal bacteria. Although many studies have now established critical roles for both adaptive innate systems in process, how these two arms system work together remains poorly understood. We previously described role activation...
