Abstract Background Formosan Pangolin (Manis pentadactyla pentadactyla) is one of the three subspecies of Chinese pangolins, it is also an isolated sub-species naturally habitat in 125 Taiwan.Despite earlier report on successful breeding of Sunda (Manis javanica) pangolin, breeding of Formosan pangolins in zoo captive populations is still challengi
Feasibility and accuracy of ED frailty identification in older trauma patients: a prospective multi-centre study
Prime 1 Studios Abstract Background The burden of frailty on older people is identifiable by its adverse effect on mortality, morbidity and long term functional and health outcomes.In patients suffering from a traumatic injury there is increasing evidence that it is frailty rather than age that impacts greatest on these outcomes and that early iden
Thyroid Hemiagenesis with Ipsilateral Parathyroid Adenoma; Case report with Review of the Literature
Thyroid hemiagenesis (THA) is a 125 rare congenital anomaly in which one lobe of thyroid gland fails to develop during embryological stage.Agenesis may be unilateral, total or isthmic.Left thyroid lobe is more commonly involved than right lobe in hemiagenesis.Agenesis of the isthmus was seen in 50% of cases.Left sided hemiagenesis is more common th
Ultrasound-Targeted Microbubble Destruction-Mediated miR-206 Overexpression Promotes Apoptosis and Inhibits Metastasis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells Via Targeting PPIB
Background: Ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) has been found to be an effective method for delivering microRNAs (miRNAs, miRs).The current study is aimed at discovering the potential anti-cancer effects of UTMD-mediated miR-206 on HCC.Methods: In our study, the expressions of miR-206 and peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase B (PPIB)
