Incorporating Clinical Examination Skills Into a Preclinical Anatomy Course: A Method for Facilitating Engagement and Interest

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anatomy instruction is enhanced when students are engaged and interested in course material, and the relevance of the subject matter to their academic success and professional careers is emphasized. We developed a learning activity for a pre‐clinical anatomy course using the clinical skills of inspection and palpation of a cadaver donor to ...

Identification of hub biomarkers and exploring the roles of immunity, M6A, ferroptosis, or cuproptosis in rats with diabetic erectile dysfunction

Andrology, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 316-331, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Currently, patients with diabetic erectile dysfunction (DMED) were not satisfied with the effects of first‐line phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5Is). Hence, this paper was designed to mine hub biomarkers in DMED and explore its potential mechanisms.

Copper in cancer: friend or foe? Metabolism, dysregulation, and therapeutic opportunities

Cancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Copper, one of the essential nutrients for the human body, acts as an electron relay in multiple pathways due to its redox properties. Both deficiencies and excesses of copper lead to cellular fragility. Therefore, it can manifest pro‐ and anti‐cancer properties in tumors. Therefore, it is crucial to clarify the copper activity within the cell.

Angiogenesis regulators as a possible key to accelerated growth of secondary tumors following primary tumor resection [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Resection of primary tumors is often followed by accelerated growth of metastases. Here we propose that this effect may be due to the fact that resection of primary tumor results in a decrease in the total systemic amount of angiogenesis stimulators, such as VEGF and bFGF.

Xixin Decoction May Treat Vascular Dementia by Modulating the NPTX2/C1q/C3 Complement Pathway

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
To establish a VaD model, SD rats underwent unilateral common carotid artery ligation, followed by gavage treatment with Xixin decoction. Cognitive abilities of the rats were assessed through Morris water maze and new object recognition. Pathological changes were observed using electron microscopy observation, Golgi staining, and Nissl staining ...

A New Model of Thermal Propagation in Human Tissue by Using HIFU Application [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
In outside the body HIFU treatment that focused ultrasound beams hit severely with cancer tissue layer especially the soft one, at the time of passage of the body different layers as long as they want to reach tumor, put their own way components under mechanical and even thermal influence and they can cause skin lesions.
