Article Synopsis
- Vitamins A and D are crucial for pregnant women and infants, but their impact on the growth of exclusively breastfed infants remains unclear.
- This study involved 140 mother-infant pairs to investigate the relationship between the levels of these vitamins in umbilical cord blood and the physical growth of infants aged 0-6 months using various growth measurements.
- The findings revealed that higher vitamin A levels positively affected head circumference growth, while vitamin D levels were linked to both negative and positive impacts on length and BMI growth, respectively.
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has proven useful for neural stem and progenitor cells during the transplantation‑mediated therapeutic effect of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Endogenous bFGF expression levels increase during brain development and gradually diminish with aging. To date, few studies have been conducted on exogenous bFGF promoting BMSC transplantation‑mediated functional recovery in adult rats following traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Original and nonthermal plasma treated particulate matters (PM) samples of a diesel were obtained and characterized by Raman spectroscopy. A five-bands model was adopted for Raman spectrum curve fitting. As parameters involving most information about carbon structure, variation of FWHM of D1 band and D3 relative intensity were analyzed.

It was first described by Brat in 1998. Because there is no detailed information available from the clinical perspective, we reviewed the literature.
