Liver Infarction and Venous Thromboembolism after Tamoxifen Use in an ADPKD Patient with Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis: A Case Report.

Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a potentially fatal complication after long-term peritoneal dialysis, and tamoxifen can be used for its prevention and treatment. However, tamoxifen is known to increase the risk of venous thromboembolism. A 49-year-old woman was admitted with sudden abdominal pain.

Neurite Branching Regulated by Neuronal Cell Surface Molecules in .

The high synaptic density in the nervous system results from the ability of neurites to branch. Neuronal cell surface molecules play central roles during neurite branch formation. The underlying mechanisms of surface molecule activity have often been elucidated using invertebrates with simple nervous systems.

Quantified Vascular Calcification at the Dialysis Access Site: Correlations with the Coronary Artery Calcium Score and Survival Analysis of Access and Cardiovascular Outcomes.

Vascular calcification is a major contributor to mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. In this study, we investigated whether there was a correlation between the coronary artery calcium score (CACS) and the vascular calcification score (VCS), and whether higher VCS increased the incidence of interventions and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). ECG-gated CT, including vascular access and the coronary vessel, was taken.

Expressional artifact caused by a co-injection marker rol-6 in C. elegans.

In transgenic research, selection markers have greatly facilitated the generation of transgenic animals. A prerequisite for a suitable selection marker to be used along with a test gene of interest is that the marker should not affect the phenotype of interest in transformed animals. One of the most common selection markers used in C.
