Cell membranes contain various transporter proteins, some of which are responsible for transferring amino acids across membrane. In this study, we report another class carrier termed Serinc1-5, that incorporates a polar acid serine into and facilitates the synthesis two serine-derived lipids, phosphatidylserine sphingolipids. Serinc is unique protein family shows no homology to other proteins but highly conserved among eukaryotes. The members 11 transmembrane domains, rat Serinc1...
The lattice parameter of wustite (Fe 2 O) single crystals was measured at high temperatures. Plots both vs composition and temperature were linear, no appreciable changes in slope detected the boundaries subphases suggested by Vallet Raccah.
Background Although the liquid embolic agent, Onyx, is often preferred treatment for cerebral dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs), there have only been a limited number of single-center studies to evaluate its performance. Objective To carry out multicenter study determine predictors complications, obliteration, and functional outcomes associated with primary Onyx embolization DAVFs. Methods From Consortium Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Outcomes Research (CONDOR) database, we identified...
Purpose:To determine whether vascular risk factors, underlying vessel diameter, and/or the type of stent affect restenosis rates for vertebral ostium stents. Methods:A single-center retrospective analysis was conducted 44 patients (31 men; mean age 61 years, range 32–81) who underwent stenting 48 ostial lesions in arteries between 1999 and 2005. Only angiographic follow-up were included analysis. Cox regression utilized factor association with binary (≥50% versus <50%). Stent types...
Sentinel headaches (SHs) associated with cerebral aneurysms (CAs) could be due to microbleeds, which are considered a sign that an aneurysm is unstable. Despite the prognostic importance of these they remain difficult detect using routine imaging studies. The objective this pilot study microbleeds SH magnetic resonance (MRI) quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) sequence and then evaluate morphological characteristics unstable microbleeds.
Background Anterior cranial fossa dural arteriovenous fistulas (ACF-dAVFs) are aggressive vascular lesions. The pattern of venous drainage is the most important determinant symptoms. Due to absence a sinus in anterior fossa, ACF-dAVFs have some degree through small cortical veins. We describe natural history, angiographic presentation and outcomes largest cohort ACF-dAVFs. Methods CONDOR consortium includes data from 12 international centers. Patients included study were diagnosed with an...
Background Antiplatelet agents are required to prevent thromboembolic complications from recently deployed intracranial stents, yet they carry a risk of bleeding that may be serious in patients with recent subarachnoid hemorrhage. Method Consecutive at single institution who had ruptured saccular aneurysms treated stent assisted coiling were retrospectively reviewed. Our primary outcomes ischemic stroke related the and possibly antithrombotic therapy. Secondary included 3 month follow-up...
Introduction Few liquid embolic materials are available for treatment of arteriovenous malformations. We describe the in vivo experience with new PHIL low viscosity (LV) agent a swine rete mirabile model. Methods Eight were treated. Two animals underwent embolization LV and contralateral Squid 12 (euthanized same day). Six right rete: two balloon flow arrest at 14 d) four microcatheter alone 90 d). Performance characteristics agents evaluated. Microscopic histological analysis harvested...
OBJECTIVE Borden-Shucart type I dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) lack cortical venous drainage and occasionally necessitate intervention depending on patient symptoms. Conversion is the rare transformation of a low-grade dAVF to higher grade. Factors associated with increased risk conversion grade are poorly understood. The authors hypothesized that partial treatment dAVFs an independent factor for conversion. METHODS multicenter Consortium Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Outcomes Research...
Objective: There are various options for the treatment of vertebral artery dissection aneurysms (VADA). Treatment with stents may be an effective method to treat VADA involving posterior inferior cerebellar (PICA) and dominant (VA). In this article, our personal experience VADAs by using coils is reported.
Cranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) are often treated with endovascular therapy, but occasionally a multimodality approach including surgery and/or radiosurgery is utilized. Recurrence after an initial angiographic cure has been reported, estimated rates ranging from 2% to 14.3%, few risk factors have identified. The objective of this study was identify associated recurrence dAVF putative cure.
We have reported that in the thyroid, there is a linear correlation between iodine concentrations and CT values. However, slope of regression line was about three times as large KI solutions. investigated factor(s) contributing to increment thyroid.Solutions NH4I thyroid hormones were used investigate line. Thirty-six thyroids evaluated area ratio follicles, which measured by preoperative from tissue slices, respectively.The slopes lines solutions almost identical those In logarithmically...
Low-grade intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVF) have a benign natural history in the majority of cases. The benefit from treatment these lesions is controversial.To compare outcomes observation versus intervention for low-grade dAVFs.We retrospectively reviewed dAVF patients institutions participating CONsortium Dural fistula Outcomes Research (CONDOR). Patients with (Borden type I) dAVFs were included and categorized into or cohorts. cohorts matched 1:1 ratio using propensity...
A herringbone structure observed in an as arc-melted specimen was investigated using XRD, TEM and surface relief study. The cooled on a water copper hearth the grain size approximately 1 mm. results confirmed crystal to be tetragonal (at=0.5100 ct=0.5166 nm, c⁄a=1.0129). orientation relation among different variants of lattice their arrangement herring bone were determined; shown suited for accommodation cubic (fluorite structure) transformation strain. Surface associated with also...
This study aimed to discriminate between enamel and composite resins by differences in Hounsfield units shown on 16 section multidetector CT (MDCT) images taken of unidentified bodies.First, we determined the 15 extracted human teeth. We then filled a single cavity prepared each teeth with one five different types resins, scanned using our routine post-mortem protocol for head neck. Obtained data were transferred radiological workstation reconstructed. Furthermore, three bodies reconstructed...
