Published: March 1996

Blood flow and thermally insulated skin temperature were measured in the aerolae of normal breasts by means of the non-invasive transient thermal clearance method. Both parameters showed high variability among different women, but also showed typical dependence on the subject's age: the two parameters were constant up to age 50, and then showed a decrease at higher ages. The decrease can be attributed to the normal decrease of tissue blood flow at higher age and to atrophy of the breast glandular tissue after menopause. Statistically significant higher values of blood flow and insulated skin temperature were found for the left breast relative to the right breast.

Background: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a typical autoimmune disease characterized by a complex pathogenesis and a strong genetic predisposition. The study of inflammatory response in SLE monocytes is not very clear, and exploring the inflammatory factors of monocytes is beneficial to discover new diagnostic targets.

Results: Using scRNA-seq technology, we obtained the quantitative changes in circulating immune cells and various cellular immune metabolic profiles between SLE patients and healthy volunteers.

Arterial endothelial cells (ECs) reside in a complex biomechanical environment. ECs sense and respond to wall shear stress. Low and oscillatory wall shear stress is characteristic of disturbed flow and commonly found at arterial bifurcations and around atherosclerotic plaques.

Background: The significant distal necrosis of the random-pattern skin flaps greatly restricts their clinical applications in flap transplantation. Previous studies have demonstrated the potential of danshensu (DSS) to alleviate ischemic tissue injury. However, no research to date has confirmed whether DSS can improve the survival of ischemic flaps.

Objectives: Hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) is one of the most common etiologies of acute pancreatitis (AP) worldwide. Compared to other etiologies, patients with HTG-AP may develop more severe AP, but previous studies yielded controversial conclusion due to the lack of adequate adjustment for the confounders. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the possibility and risk factors of developing severe AP in HTG-AP.
