Background: Lumbar degenerative diseases are an important factor in disability worldwide, and they are also common among the elderly population. Stand-Alone Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion (Stand-Alone OLIF) is a novel surgical approach for treating lumbar degenerative diseases. However, long-term follow-up after surgery has revealed the risk of endplate collapse associated with Stand-Alone OLIF procedures.

- The study investigates the link between dietary vitamin E intake and various cholesterol types (remnant cholesterol, total cholesterol, HDL, and LDL) using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2007-2018.
- Analysis included 8,639 adults, revealing that higher vitamin E intake correlated with lower levels of remnant cholesterol, total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol, and higher levels of HDL cholesterol.
- The findings suggest that both age and gender can influence how vitamin E intake affects cholesterol levels in adults.
A constitutive super-enhancer: homologous region 3 of Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus.
Biochem Biophys Res Commun
June 2004
Transient expression assays were carried out to assess the transcriptional enhancement from the immediate-early gene (ie-1) promoters by cis-linked Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) homologous region-3 (hr3). The ie-1 promoters were derived from Autographa californica multinucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) and BmNPV. Hr3 was placed downstream of the luciferase (luc) gene, the resulting plasmids were used to transfect the Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf-21), Bombyx mori (Bm-5, Bm-N) cell lines and 5th instar silkworm larvae mediated by lipofectin.
