β-D-Glucan promotes NF-κB activation and ameliorates high-LET carbon-ion irradiation-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell injury.

Turkish journal of medical sciences
BACKGROUND/AIM: Heavy-ion irradiation seriously perturbs cellular homeostasis and thus damages cells. Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) play an important role in the pathological process of radiation damage. Protecting ECs from heavy-ion radiation is ...

Vocal Fold Augmentation with Beta Glucan Hydrogel Cross-Linked by γ Irradiation for Enhanced Duration of Effect: In Vivo Animal Study.

BioMed research international
This study explored a novel strategy to restore the vocal gap by using cross-linked β-glucan hydrogel by γ-irradiation. An aqueous solution of 5 wt% β-glucan was prepared and cross-linked using (60)Co γ irradiation. Ten nude mice were injected with 0...

Establishment and Validation of a Machine-Learning Prediction Nomogram Based on Lymphocyte Subtyping for Intra-Abdominal Candidiasis in Septic Patients.

Clinical and translational science
This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram based on lymphocyte subtyping and clinical factors for the early and rapid prediction of Intra-abdominal candidiasis (IAC) in septic patients. A prospective cohort study of 633 consecutive patients ...

[Analysis of Cases with Elevated Blood (1->3)-β-D-glucan in Relation to an Infection Marker, Neutrophil CD64 Expression].

Kansenshogaku zasshi. The Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases
(1->3)-β-D-glucan (BDG) is a constituent of the fungal cell wall and its blood level is known as a marker of fungal infection including pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP). Meanwhile, peripheral blood neutrophil CD64 expression (CD64) is upregulated in vari...
