No complications were attributable to pyeloperfusion. Three of 45 patients with biopsy-proven renal cell carcinoma experienced local recurrence resulting in local recurrence-free survival of 92% (95% confidence interval, 81.5%-100%) 3 years after ablation. Conclusions Retrograde pyeloperfusion of the renal collecting system is a relatively safe…[Read more]

One-third of all deaths in hospitals are caused by sepsis. Despite its demonstrated prevalence and high case fatality rate, antibiotics remain the only target-oriented treatment option currently available. Starting from results showing that low-dose anthracyclines protect against sepsis in mice, we sought to find new causative treatment options to…[Read more]

In humans, alcohol is consumed for its rewarding and anxiolytic effects. The Central Nucleus of the Amygdala (CeA) is considered a neuronal nexus that regulates fear, anxiety and drug self-administration. Manipulations of the CeA alter ethanol (EtOH) consumption under numerous EtOH self-administration models. The experiments determined if EtOH is…[Read more]

Angptl7 conducted TNF-α-induced oxidative stress and cell adhesion in HUVEC. Therefore, Angptl7 might participate in the development of endothelial injury and further atherosclerosis. This might give us a new insight for investigation of procession of atherosclerosis.With the increasing incidence of premature ovarian failure (POF) seriously…[Read more]
