Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio as an independent predictor of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis-related emergency large vessel occlusion.

Objective: To evaluate the correlation between the monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) and intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis-related emergent large vessel occlusion (ICAS-ELVO) in acute ischemic stroke patients with endovascular thrombectomy.

Methods: Included in this study were 215 patients who underwent endovascular thrombectomy. They were randomly assigned to training and testing datasets.

Cloning and expression characterization of elongation of very long-chain fatty acids protein 6 () with dietary fatty acids, ambient salinity and starvation stress in .

Elongation of very long-chain fatty acids protein 6 (ELOVL6) played crucial roles in regulating energy expenditure and fatty acid metabolism. Many studies have performed to investigate the physiological roles and regulatory mechanisms of in fish and animals, while few studies were reported in crustaceans. Here we reported on the molecular cloning, tissue distribution and expression profiles in response to dietary fatty acids, ambient salinity and starvation stress in by using rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and quantitative real-time PCR.

Safety and Efficacy of Intravenous Thrombolytic Therapy in Patients With Acute Posterior Circulation Stroke: A Single-Center Study.

Background And Purpose: The safety and efficacy of intravenous thrombolytic therapy (IVT) for posterior circulation stroke (PCS) in the real world are rarely studied. This study was designed to evaluate the prestroke and baseline characteristics, stroke sub-types, complications, and outcomes of PCS patients and compare them with anterior circulation stroke (ACS) after intravenous thrombolysis.

Methods: Data of consecutive patients with PCS and ACS treated with alteplase in a standard dose of 0.

Source apportionment of fluorine pollution in regional shallow groundwater at You'xi County southeast China.

Source apportionment of fluorine pollution in the regional shallow groundwater at You'xi County, southeast China, has been analyzed by means of monitoring F(-) ion change characteristics in this area. Meanwhile, pollution sources and influencing factors of the shallow groundwater have been uncovered by studying the correlation between F(-) and other related ions such as Na(+), Ca(2+), Cl(-), NO3(-), HCO3(-), as well as (K(+) + Na(+))/Ca(2+) ratio (R) and pH effect. The results show that F(-) ions in shallow groundwater at the study area come mainly from the dissolution of fluorinated minerals in a form of fluorite (CaF2), the so-called water-rock interaction, and there is a higher possibility for the occurrence of fluorine water where the ratio of (K(+) + Na(+))/Ca(2+) exceeds a value of 2.
