DIABETES AND HYPERTENSION MARKEDLY INCREASED THE RISK OF ISCHEMIC STROKE ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH SERUM RESISTIN CONCENTRATION IN A GENERAL JAPANESE POPULATION: THE HISAYAMA STUDY

Diabetes and hypertension markedly increased the risk of ischemic stroke associated with high serum resistin concentration in a general Japanese population: the Hisayama Study

Abstract Background Resistin, secreted from adipocytes, causes insulin resistance in mice.The relationship between resistin and coronary artery disease is highly controversial, and the information regarding resistin and ischemic stroke is limited.In the present study, Climbing Set the association between serum resistin concentration and cardiovascu

The Evolutionary Conserved Transmembrane BAX Inhibitor Motif (TMBIM) Containing Protein Family Members 5 and 6 Are Essential for the Development and Survival of Drosophila melanogaster

The mammalian Transmembrane BAX Inhibitor Motif (TMBIM) protein family consists of six evolutionarily conserved hydrophobic proteins that affect programmed cell death and the regulation of intracellular calcium levels.The bacterial ortholog BsYetJ is a pH-dependent calcium channel.We here identified seven TMBIM family members in Drosophila melanoga

Concentric ring optical traps for orbital rotation of particles

DR. FORMULATED ORG KIDS BERRY CHERRY Optical vortices (OVs), as eigenmodes of optical orbital angular momentum, have been widely used in particle micro-manipulation.Recently, perfect optical vortices (POVs), a subclass of OVs, are gaining increasing interest and becoming an indispensable tool in optical trapping due to their unique property of topo

What Do We Do about Helicobacter pylori?

Heliobacter pylori and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) cause ulcers by different mechanisms.Under some circumstances, patients infected with H pylori may be less prone to NSAID-associated Cleansing Milk ulcers than those who are H pylori-negative.Eradication trials have yielded differing results.However, those who have studied patient
