Preoperative Aortic Calcification Volume Predicts Postoperative Complications in Nonpancreatic Cancer Patients Undergoing Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Postoperative complications following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) remain high, particularly in patients with soft pancreatic texture. Abdominal aortic calcification volume (AACV), a surrogate marker of systemic arteriosclerosis, has been associated with increased surgical risk in lower gastrointestinal procedures ...

Activation of somatostatin 2 receptors in the brain and the periphery induces opposite changes in circulating ghrelin levels: functional implications

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
Somatostatin is an important modulator of neurotransmission in the central nervous system and acts as a potent inhibitor of hormone and exocrine secretion and regulator of cell proliferation in the periphery.

Bio‐Inspired Pancreas With Microfluidic Multi‐Component Hydrogel Microfibers for Exploring Pancreatic Exocrine and Endocrine Interactions

Aggregate, EarlyView.
A bionic pancreas model incorporating core‐shell microfibers that encapsulate pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) and β‐cells provides valuable insights into PSCs activation, cell‐cell interactions, and diabetes progression. Furthermore, the potential of this bio‐inspired pancreas for drug screening is demonstrated by testing with a glucagon‐like peptide ...

Towards a Radio-guided Surgery with $\beta^{-}$ Decays: Uptake of a somatostatin analogue (DOTATOC) in Meningioma and High Grade Glioma

, 2014
A novel radio guided surgery (RGS) technique for cerebral tumors using $\beta^{-}$ radiation is being developed. Checking the availability of a radio-tracer that can deliver a $\beta^{-}$ emitter to the tumor is a fundamental step in the deployment of ...

Substance P-expressing excitatory interneurons in the mouse superficial dorsal horn provide a propriospinal input to the lateral spinal nucleus [PDF]

, 2018
The superficial dorsal horn (laminae I and II) of the spinal cord contains numerous excitatory and inhibitory interneurons, and recent studies have shown that each of these groups can be divided into several neurochemically distinct populations. Although

Adropin modulates pancreatic cell proliferation and glutathione levels in an animal model of type 1 diabetes mellitus

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Adropin is related to the energy homeostasis‐associated gene. It significantly increased glutathione reductase enzyme levels in the pancreas of experimental diabetic rats. Adropin may reduce the severity of diabetes and its complications. Cell proliferation in the exocrine is reduced after the administration of adropin.

A receptor-based analysis of local ecosystems in the human brain. [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundAs a complex system, the brain is a self-organizing entity that depends on local interactions among cells. Its regions (anatomically defined nuclei and areas) can be conceptualized as cellular ecosystems, but the similarity of their functional ...

Radiation emergency medical countermeasures: Current formulary, identified gaps, and future approaches

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Current radiation medical countermeasures primarily focus on hematopoietic acute radiation syndrome (H‐ARS) using agents like granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor (G‐CSF), granulocyte‐macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GM‐CSF), and romiplostim, alongside treatments for internal contamination (Prussian blue, diethylenetriamine pentaacetate [DTPA ...

Acromegaly: pathogenesis & treatment [PDF]

, 2019
Acromegaly is a multi-system disorder whose etiology is most often traced back to a growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma (PA). Growth hormone (GH) secretion promotes insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) release from peripheral tissues, leading to ...
