The low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related protein (LRP) has a well-established role in the hepatic removal of atherogenic apolipoprotein E (APOE)-rich remnant lipoproteins from plasma. In addition, LRP recognizes multiple distinct pro- and antiatherogenic ligands in vitro. Here, we investigated the role of hepatic LRP in atherogenesis independent of its role in removal of APOE-rich rem...

We previously reported the feasibility of clofarabine and cytarabine combinations in AML. Questions remain as to (1) the therapeutic advantage of this combination and (2) the role of lower doses of clofarabine and cytarabine in older patients. We have conducted an adaptively randomized study of lower-dose clofarabine with or without low-dose cytarabine in previously untreated patients with AML ...

Background: Cognitive processes are associated with Systematic Physical Activity (SPA). However, few studies have evaluated the relation between SPA and Metacognition (MC). Objectives: (1) to study effect of levels on MC, (2) explore covariance gender. Method: Through a Non-Experimental design intentional sampling, 270 university students participated (Mage= 25.3, SD= 1.5, min= 18, max= 51), 20...

An estimate of overall corneal hydration control can be obtained by measuring the rate of thickness recovery following induced corneal swelling; it is expressed as the percent recovery per hour (PRPH). This recovery is nearly, but not exactly, exponential, because there appears to be an initial slower recovery phase lasting about 30-40 minutes. This 30-40 minute period of slower recovery corres...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate a swallow preservation protocol (SPP) in which patients received swallow therapy before, during, and after radiation treatment and its efficacy in maintaining swallowing function in head and neck cancer patients. DESIGN Case series with chart review. SETTING Tertiary care academic medical center. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Eighty-five patients who received radiation (RT) o...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Aortic and mitral valve calcification (AVC and MVC, respectively) are critical indicators of CVD and all-cause mortality in CKD patients.We conducted a single center retrospective study of Chinese inpatients with CKD to identify risk factors associated with valve calcification (VC).Of 288 enro...
