Long-chain polynucleotide filler for skin rejuvenation: efficacy and complications in five patients.

Dermatologic therapy
Aging well has become the new target of preventative medicine, and aesthetic dermatology can contribute to this request. The polynucleotide (PN) containing products not only fill the space, but improve tissue regeneration, resulting in more natural t...

Characterization of the abnormal lipid profile in Chinese patients with psoriasis.

International journal of clinical and experimental pathology
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that has been associated with abnormal lipid metabolism. To characterize the lipid profile in Chinese, 86 patients with psoriasis and 84 healthy control subjects were assessed. Compared with healthy co...

Influence of protein kinase C (PKC) on the prognosis of diabetic nephropathy patients.

International journal of clinical and experimental pathology
AIMS: To investigate the association between protein kinase C (PKC) and the prognosis of patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN).

Effects of combining robot-assisted therapy with neuromuscular electrical stimulation on motor impairment, motor and daily function, and quality of life in patients with chronic stroke: a double-blinded randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted therapy (RT) is a widely used intervention approach to enhance motor recovery in patients after stroke, but its effects on functional improvement remained uncertain. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is one potent...

A novel approach for analysis of altered gait variability in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Gait variability reflects important information for the maintenance of human beings' health. For pathological populations, changes in gait variability signal the presence of abnormal motor control strategies. Quantitative analysis of the altered gait...

Therapeutic effects of dog visits in nursing homes for the elderly.

Psychogeriatrics : the official journal of the Japanese Psychogeriatric Society
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested that visiting dogs can have positive effects on elderly people in nursing homes. We wanted to study the effects of biweekly dog visits on sleep patterns and the psychiatric well-being of elderly people.

Neural hypernetwork approach for pulmonary embolism diagnosis.

BMC research notes
BACKGROUND: Hypernetworks are based on topological simplicial complexes and generalize the concept of two-body relation to many-body relation. Furthermore, Hypernetworks provide a significant generalization of network theory, enabling the integration...

Resident training in a new robotic thoracic surgery program.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: The volume of robot-assisted operations has drastically increased over the past decade. New programs have focused on training surgeons, whereas resident training has lagged behind. The objective of this study was to evaluate our instituti...

Glutathione peroxidase-1 gene (GPX1) variants, oxidative stress and risk of kidney complications in people with type 1 diabetes.

Metabolism: clinical and experimental
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Glutathione peroxidase (GPX) is a class of antioxidant enzymes that catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide to water. GPX1 is the most abundant isoform and is expressed in all kidney cells. Isoprostane and advanced oxidation p...
