A novel form of microcapsules, which possess single hollow cavities and thickness-controllable shells, were prepared by a two-step emulsification, emulsion ripening, and suspension polymerization. Parameters on morphology control of water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsion globules were particularly investigated in this study, and a universal strategy to prepare single-core water-in-oil (W/O) glo...

Objective: Atherosclerosis of coronary arteries is the most significant cause of disability and mortality worldwide and the most efficient physiological process reducing the risk of this disease is RCT. ABCG8 plays a crucial role in the reverse transfer of cholesterol from macrophages to the liver. The aim of this study is to study the effect of eight weeks aerobic exercise on the atherogenic r...

Eucalyptus oil (EO) is an essential oil that is widely used across the globe as an over-the-counter remedy for common ailments. EO-induced seizure (EOIS) has not been recognized as an entity, and physicians rarely ask the history of exposure to eucalyptus oil when seeing a patient with first episode of seizure. Here we report 10 cases of EO inhalation-induced seizures seen over the past 2 years...

Accidental ingestion of eucalyptus oil by a 3-year-old boy caused profound central nervous system depression within 30 minutes, but he recovered rapidly after gastric lavage. The extreme toxicity of eucalyptus oil is emphasised.

To determine if the presence of amphophilic globules (GL) in infant cerebral white matter was a necessary criterion of perinatal telencephalic leucoencephalopathy (PTL), the epidemiological features of infants who had PTL-that is, hypertrophic astrocytes and amphophilic globules (HA·GL)-in their cerebral white matter were compared with those of infants who had hypertrophic astrocytes, but who d...

IC 1396 is a relatively nearby (750 pc), large (>2 •), HII region ionized by a single O6.5V star and containing bright-rimmed cometary globules. We have made the first arcmin resolution images of atomic hydrogen toward IC 1396, and have found remarkable " tail "-like structures associated with some of the globules and extending up to 6.5 pc radially away from the central ionizing star. These HI...

We report a case of papillary adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon with psammoma bodies and intracytoplasmic hyaline globules. The patient was a 59-year-old woman. The tumor showed central ulceration with smooth elevated ridges. Histologically, the tumor was composed of numerous large irregular tubular structures accompanying infolded papillary growth. The tumor cells showed cytoplasmic basophil...
