Background. Dietary patterns play important role in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. We aimed to investigate the potential relationship between Inflammation Index (DII) and H. infection US adults. Methods. This cross-sectional study was based on National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (1999–2000). Individuals aged ≥20 years who provided a 24 hr dietary intake history underwent te...

Abstract Background Ustekinumab (UST) is a safe and effective therapy for moderate to severe Crohn’s disease (CD). Standard induction involves single weight-based intravenous dose followed by subcutaneous at week eight. Accelerated or intensified regimens have been associated with better clinical outcomes various biologic therapies, however, these not investigated in patients commencing UST. US...

This paper examines the nascent process of how Dynamic Instant Innovation (DII) is created by ambidexterity, which is an individual's capacity to be equally skillful with both hands. The influences of DII on new product development are introduced and analyzed through Holtzman's paradox. This premise states that the greatest paradox that surrounds successful new product development is the need f...

BACKGROUND Chronic, low-grade inflammation is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The inflammatory impact of diet can be reflected by concentrations of inflammatory markers in the bloodstream and the inflammatory potential of diet can be estimated by the dietary inflammatory index (DIITM), which has been associated with cardiovascular disease risk in some previous studies. We...

This thesis begins with a brief review about the role and importance of the small molecules containing fluorine atoms in medicine and imaging. Then, the first part of the thesis will discuss the synthesis, purification and characterization of pentamethine cyanine dyes. The structure identification of the final dyes is done by using H NMR, C NMR, F NMR, and mass spectrometry. The studies perform...

Efficient optical clearance is fundamental for whole brain imaging. In particular, clearance of the brain without membrane damage is required for the imaging of lipophilic tracer-labeled neural tracts. Relying on an ascending gradient of fructose solutions, SeeDB can achieve sufficient transparency of the mouse brain while ensuring that the plasma membrane remains intact. However, it is challen...

The interactions two synthetic triazinyl reactive dyes Mono-s-chloro Triazinyl reactive dyes DI and DII with the cationic surfactant N-hexadecyl pyridinium chloride CPC were studied using a conductometric method in 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45ºC. The equilibrium constants and other thermodynamic parameters for the ion pair formation were calculated on the basis of a theoretical model using the data ob...

Introduction: Parkinson disease (PD) results from the destruction of dopaminergic neurons in the brain. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of natural antioxidants such as caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) to maintain these neurons. Methods: CAPE is one of the main ingredients of propolis. Intranasal administration of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-2;3;4;6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) was...
