Elucidating bacterial coaggregation through a physicochemical and imaging surfa...
Afonso, Ana C.; Botting, Jack; Gomes, Inês B.; Saavedra, Maria J.; Simões, Lúcia Chaves; Liu, Jun; Simões, ManuelBacterial coaggregation is a highly specific type of cell-cell interaction, well-documented among oral bacteria, and involves specific characteristics of the cell surface of the coaggregating strains. However, the understanding of the mechanisms promoting coaggregation in aquatic systems remains limited. This gap is critical to address, given the broad implications of coaggregation for multispecies biofilm form...
Comparison of short-segment monoaxial and polyaxial pedicle screw fixation comb...
Wang, Hongwei; Zhao, Yiwen; Mo, Zhongjun; Han, Jianda; Chen, Yu; Yu, Hailong; Wang, Qi; Liu, Jun; Li, Changqing; Zhou, Yue; Xiang, LiangbiOBJECTIVES: No studies have compared monoaxial and polyaxial pedicle screws with regard to the von Mises stress of the instrumentation, intradiscal pressures of the adjacent segment and adjacent segment degeneration. METHODS: Short-segment monoaxial/polyaxial pedicle screw fixation techniques were compared using finite element methods, and the redistributed T11-L1 segment range of motion, largest maximal von Mi...
Liver lobe-based magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging using multiple b...
Tang, Hong-Jie; Zhou, Li; Zhang, Xiao-Ming; Liu, Jun; Chen, Tian-Wu; Zeng, Nan-Lin; Wang, Dan; Li, Jie; Huang, Yu-Cheng; Tang, Yu-Lian; Hu, JianiOBJECTIVE: To determine the associations of liver lobe-based magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging findings using multiple b values with the presence and Child-Pugh class of cirrhosis in patients with hepatitis B. METHODS: Seventy-four cirrhotic patients with hepatitis B and 25 healthy volunteers underwent diffusion-weighted imaging using b values of 0, 500, 800 and 1000 sec/mm2. The apparent diffusion ...
Increased red cell distribution width in patients with slow coronary flow syndrome
Luo, Song-Hui; Jia, Yan-Jun; Nie, Shao-Ping; Qing, Ping; Guo, Yuan-Lin; Liu, Jun; Xu, Rui-Xia; Zhu, Cheng-Gang; Wu, Na-Qiong; Jiang, Li-Xin; Dong, QianOBJECTIVE: An elevated red cell distribution width has been recognized as a predictor of various cardiovascular diseases. Slow coronary flow syndrome is an important angiographic clinical entity with an unknown etiology. This study aimed to examine the relationship between red cell distribution width and the presence of slow coronary flow syndrome. METHODS: In total, 185 patients with slow coronary flow syndrom...
