Potential value of cerebrospinal fluid α-synuclein in the identification of postoperative delirium undergoing knee/hip arthroplasty: The perioperative neurocognitive disorder and biomarker lifestyle study.

Objective: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common postoperative complication, which may be associated with α-synuclein (α-syn). The purpose of this study was to explore the association between the expression level of α-syn in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and POD.

Methods: We conducted a prospective observational cohort study, which involved in 740 participants (mean age of 61.

Gm364 coordinates MIB2/DLL3/Notch2 to regulate female fertility through AKT activation.

Many integral membrane proteins might act as indispensable coordinators in specific functional microdomains to maintain the normal operation of known receptors, such as Notch. Gm364 is a multi-pass transmembrane protein that has been screened as a potential female fertility factor. However, there have been no reports to date about its function in female fertility.

GTPases Arf5 and Arl2 function partially distinctly during oocyte meiosis.

Mammalian female meiosis must be tightly regulated to produce high-quality mature oocytes for subsequent regular fertilization and healthy live birth of the next generation. GTPases control many important signal pathways involved in diverse cellular activities. ADP-ribosylation factor family members (Arfs) in mice possess GTPase activities, and some members have been found to function in meiosis.

Ocular biometric parameters are associated with non-contact tonometry measured intraocular pressure in non-pathologic myopic patients.

Purposes: This research aimed to investigate effects and risk factors on non-contact tonometer (NCT) readings in healthy myopic subjects by employing cross-sectional study design.

Methods: Totally, sixty otherwise healthy myopic volunteers (mean 28.4 years old) with 90% female were recruited in ophthalmic clinic.

Acid fibroblast growth factor facilitates the progression of atherosclerotic plaques regardless of alterations in serum lipid expression levels in HFD‑fed ApoE‑/‑ mice.

Atherosclerosis is recognized at present as a chronic metabolic disease of the arteries that leads to multifocal plaque development. Previous studies have reported that acid fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) is a critical therapeutic regulator in numerous chronic metabolic disorders. However, there is currently no direct evidence indicating whether aFGF serves a therapeutic role in atherosclerosis.

[Comparison study of visual function and patient satisfaction in patients with monovision and patients with bilateral multifocal intraocular lenses].

Objective: To compare visual function and patient satisfaction in patients with bilateral diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses (IOL) and patients with monofocal IOL monovision.

Methods: Prospective nonrandomized controlled study. This study comprised consecutive bilateral cataract patients 45 cases (90eyes) between January 2011 and March 2012.

[Comparison between canine decellularized venous valve stent combined with endothelial progenitor cells and native venous valve on venous valve closure mechanism in normal physiological conditions].

Objective: To compare canine decellularized venous valve stent combining endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) with native venous valve in terms of venous valve closure mechanism in normal physiological conditions.

Methods: Thirty-six male hybrid dogs weighing 15-18 kg were used. The left femoral vein with valve from 12 dogs was harvested to prepare decellularized valved venous stent combined with EPC.

[Clinical analysis and prevention from coating shedding of uncemented hip prosthesis].

Objective: The long-term biological effects of HA-coated prostheses remain uncertain. The purpose of the study is to analyze the reasons of coating shedding of uncemented hip prothesis, so as to provide evidences for the preventions and treatment.

Methods: From 2002.

[Clinical application of Meek micrograft technique].

Objective: To explore the clinical application of the transplantation of the Meek autograft.

Methods: Meek autografts were transplanted on the full-thickness wounds of 10 patients, including 9 cases of burn and 1 case of necrofascitis, with the area of 8.6% (2% - 28%) of the total body surface, and the average of the area was.

[EGG and acoustic test for the diagnosis of laryngeal diseases].

Objective: To explore the relationship between electroglottography/acoustic test parameter and disease diagnosis.

Method: 3.0 software by Dr.
