New insulin-secreting cell lines (INS-1 and INS-2) were established from cells isolated an x-ray-induced rat transplantable insulinoma. The continuous growth of these was found to be dependent on the reducing agent 2-mercaptoethanol. Removal this thiol compound caused a 15-fold drop in total cellular glutathione levels. These proliferated slowly (population doubling time about 100 h) and, general, showed morphological characteristics typical native beta-cells. Most stained positive for...
We used fMRI to reveal the visual cortical activations during conventional or electro-acupuncture over four vision-implicated acupoints in 18 healthy volunteers and compared results with those obtained direct stimulation. Positive were seen cortex stimulation all subjects, similar observed 10 subjects acupuncture as well eight seven at 2 20 Hz, respectively. Negative also occipital lobes, temporal gyri frontal bilaterally 13 acupuncture. Thus, may modulate activity of relevant brain sites....
Purpose To determine the utilization and positive predictive value (PPV) of American College Radiology (ACR) Breast Imaging Data Reporting System (BI-RADS) category 4 subdivisions in diagnostic mammography National Mammography Database (NMD). Materials Methods This study involved retrospective review data submitted to NMD from January 1, 2008 December 30, 2014. Utilization rates BI-RADS were compared by year, facility (type, location, census region), examination (indication, finding type)...
Abstract Background An established body of literature has shown evidence implicit bias in the health care system on basis patient race and ethnicity that contributes to well documented disparities outcomes. However, little is known about influence decision order diagnostic radiology exams acute setting. This study examines role likelihood imaging being ordered during United States emergency department encounters. Methods Publicly available data from National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care...
To assess differences in brain responses between stroke patients and controls to tactile electrical acupuncture stimulation using functional MRI (fMRI).A total of 12 male, clinically stable with left side somatosensory deficits, age-matched male control subjects were studied. fMRI was performed two different paradigms; namely, stimuli at points LI4 LI11 on the affected body. data analyzed SPM99.Tactile both produced significant activation primary secondary sensory motor cortical areas...
Establishment of low birth weight (LBW) infant gut microbiota may have lifelong implications for the health individuals. However, no longitudinal cohort studies been conducted to characterize microbial profiles LBW infants and their influencing factors. Our objective was understand how bacterial community structure normal (NBW) varies across first 3 months life assess In this observational study, composition identified with sequencing 16S rRNA gene in fecal samples 69 65 NBW controls at 0...
Abstract We compared the brain activation on functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during word generation with electrical stimulation of two language‐implicated acupoints in 17 healthy, Mandarin‐speaking, Chinese male volunteers (age 19–26 years). All subjects were strongly right handed according to a handedness inventory. Using standard MRI procedure and word‐generation paradigm, significant was seen left inferior frontal gyri (BA 44, 45) as well superior temporal gyrus 22, 42)....
In recent years, the reform of registration, evaluation, and approval system for traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) has been promoted at national level, with establishment an evaluation evidence TCM registration that combines theory, human use experience, clinical trials(known as "three-combined" system). This system, which aligns characteristics practice laws research development, recognizes unique value experience in medicine returns to essence applied science, thus receiving...
This article presents a novel model of acupuncture physiology based on cellular calcium activation by an acoustic shear wave (ASW) generated the mechanical movement needle. An needle was driven piezoelectric transducer at 100 Hz or below, and ASW in human calf imaged magnetic resonance elastography. At cell level, activated intracellular Ca2+ transients oscillations fibroblasts endothelial, ventricular myocytes neuronal PC-12 cells along with frequency–amplitude tuning memory capabilities....
Signal generation during the stimulation of insulin secretion by arginine vasopressin (AVP) was investigated in RINm5F cells. AVP (0.1 microM) caused a biphasic cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) rise, namely rapid transient marked elevation after followed series oscillations. In absence extracellular Ca2+, sustained oscillations were abolished, while initial [Ca2+]i only partly decreased, indicating that former are due to influx and latter mainly mobilization from internal stores. also evoked...
Abstract Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) were used to map brain activation during language tasks. While previous studies have compared performance between alphabetic literate illiterate subjects, there been no such data in Chinese‐speaking individuals. In this study, we fMRI examine the effects of education on neural associated with silent word recognition picture‐naming tasks 24 healthy right‐handed Chinese subjects (12 illiterates 12...

Introduction Nurses have a high prevalence of occupational low back pain, especially since the outbreak COVID-19 pandemic, which has increased nurses' workloads. It brought huge burden on nurses and their professional development. Nurses' pain prevention capacity is logical starting point core interventions to prevent its occurrence. To date, there no study investigating it with scientific scale. Therefore, multicenter cross-sectional was conducted explore current status in influencing...
Background Investigation of the use preoperative MRI for providing prognostic information regarding clinical outcome following rotator cuff repair has been limited. Purpose To determine whether patients with more severe tears shoulder at have a greater degree residual pain and disability after repair. Materials Methods This retrospective study included cohort 141 who underwent surgical full-thickness tear single institution between April 16, 2012, September 3, 2015. The mean patient age was...
Purpose To evaluate the feasibility of ferumoxytol (FE)‐enhanced UTE‐MRA for depiction pulmonary vascular and nonvascular structures. Methods Twenty healthy volunteers underwent contrast‐enhanced MRA at 3 T during 2 visits, separated by least 4 weeks. Visit 1: The started with a conventional multiphase 3D 1 ‐weighted breath‐held spoiled gradient‐echo before after injection 0.1 mmol/kg gadobenate dimeglumine (GD). Subsequently, free‐breathing GD‐UTE‐MRA was acquired as series flip angles...
Introduction: Surgical planning and custom prosthesis design for pelvic cancer patients are challenging due to the unique clinical characteristics of each patient significant amount bone hip musculature often removed. Limb-sparing internal hemipelvectomy surgery with reconstruction has become a viable option this population. However, little is known about how post-surgery walking function neural control change from pre-surgery conditions. Methods: This case study combined comprehensive data...
