05). The Low-Moderate Resilience group had consistently worse HRQOL scores compared to the Moderate and Moderate-High Resilience groups (ps less then .001; d = .50-1.60), with the exception of Caregiving Ideology. Conclusion Lower resilience among caregivers of SMVs following TBI is associated with poorer caregiver HRQOL. Programs aimed at…[Read more]

Mild adverse effects and graft-versus-host diseases were also observed in the studies. Recently, more efforts have been put into the improvement of antitumoral efficacy by CIK cells including the administration of immune checkpoint inhibitors and modification with chimeric antigen receptorc. The minimal toxicity and multiple improvements on their…[Read more]

We report on the implementation of the concept of a photochemically elicited two-carbon homologation of a π -donor -π -acceptor substituted chromophore by triple bond insertion. Implementing a phenyl connector between the slide-in module and the chromophore enabled the synthesis of cylohepta[ b ]indole-type building blocks by a metal-free a…[Read more]

Garnet based solid-state batteries have the advantages of wide electrochemical window and good chemical stability. However, at Li-garnet interface, the poor interfacial wettability due to Li2CO3 passivation usually causes large resistance and unstable contact. Here, a Li2CO3-affiliative mechanism is proposed for air-accessible interface…[Read more]

BACKGROUND This study examined the effects of whey protein supplementation, compared with an isocaloric carbohydrate beverage and water, consumed immediately following an intense swimming trial on bone turnover in adolescent swimmers. METHODS Fifty-eight (31 female, 27 male) swimmers (14.1 ± 0.4 years) were stratified into three groups matche…[Read more]

BACKGROUND/AIMS Cell migration and extracellular matrix remodeling underlie normal mammalian development and growth as well as pathologic tumor invasion. Skeletal muscle is no exception, where satellite cell migration replenishes nuclear content in damaged tissue and extracellular matrix reforms during regeneration. A key set of enzymes that…[Read more]

20, p = 0.03, slope -16.2, 95% CI -30.9 to -1.4, intercept 1.1, 95% CI 0.7-1.4) and also with DI (r = -0.22, p = 0.02, slope -10.0, 95% CI -18.5 to -1.6, intercept 0.9, 95% CI 0.7-1.3). Disposition index, accounting for the combined contribution of insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function, and glucose effectiveness were identified as possible…[Read more]

A significant lower FMD (3.5 ± 1.7 vs 5.9 ± 1.5%, P less then 0.001) and slower oxygen resaturation rate (0.78 ± 0.4 vs 1.14 ± 0.4%·s-1, P = 0.020) in HIV as compared to N-HIV group were observed. In conclusion, our findings demonstrated that HIV-infected patients had reduced FMD and impaired muscle oxygenation during exercise recovery comp…[Read more]

5% is achieved for flexible PeLEDs based on green-emitting CsPbBr3 perovskite.Catalytic decomposition of the hydrogen-rich hydrazine monohydrate (N2H4·H2O) represents a promising hydrogen stor-age/production technology. A rational design of advanced N2H4·H2O decomposition catalysts requires an overall consideration of intrinsic activity, number a…[Read more]

The particle size of the fresh carrots was decreased with enhancing extent of oral masitication, which was favor of carotenoid bioaccessibilty. However, the freeze dried combined instant pressure drop dried restructural chips (R-FD-DIC) demonstrated opposite trend, probably caused by the severe aggregation of the sample during digestion, which…[Read more]
