BACKGROUND Civilian literature has reported excellent outcomes after elective fasciotomy for chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS). Our study's purpose was to objectively investigate the functional outcome of fasciotomies performed for CECS in a high demand military population. METHODS A retrospective review of all fasciotomies performed for CECS at a single tertiary military medical...

Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is a significant source of lower extremity pain and morbidity in the athletic population. Although endoscopic techniques have been introduced, open fasciotomy remains the mainstay of surgical treatment because of the paucity of evidence in support of an endoscopic approach. The literature on surgical management of CECS is mixed, and overall success...

Gemcitabine (Gemcitabine), a synthetic pyrimidine nucleoside, could block DNA synthesis and inhibit RNA synthesis to some extent. It is used as the standard chemotherapy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma in stage II, III and IV, although it’s primarily palliative (Lau et al., 2012). As a severe result of the attack by gemcitabineinduced cytotoxicity for capillary endothelial cells (CECs), capillary...

The determination of contaminants emerging concern (CECs) in environmental samples has become a challenging and critical issue. present work focuses on miniaturized analytical strategies reported the literature for CECs. first part review provides brief overview CECs whose monitoring is particular significance, namely personal care products, pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, UV-filters, ne...

We report that diabetic patients with both (a) persistent hyperglycaemia, indicated by HbAlC > 9% of total haemoglobin (Hb) and (b) clinically evident microor macro-vascular disease have a significant increase in the number of detached vascular endothelial cells circulating in their blood relative to age-matched diabetic controls without vascular disease. We find that circulating endothelial ce...

A promising concept for sampling contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) using a home-made Simple Teabag Equilibrium Passive Sampler (STEPS) containing hydrophilic divinylbenzene (h–DVB) sorbent is presented and evaluated application in estuarine systems. The uptake multi-class mixture CECs with broad polarity range (Log P ranging from ?0.1 to 9.9) was investigated static exposure batch experim...

PURPOSE Circulating endothelial cells (CEC) have been widely used as a prognostic biomarker and regarded as a promising strategy for monitoring the response to treatment in several cancers. However, the presence and biologic roles of CECs have remained controversial for decades because technical standards for the identification and quantification of CECs have not been established. Here, we hypo...

Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) are widespread in the water cycle. Their levels disinfected waters usually low, as they may transform into CEC disinfection byproducts (DBPs) during processes or partially removed previous treatment steps. The occurrence DBPs real has been scarcely addressed, although their presence be relevance circular economy scenarios, and thus deserves further study ...

PURPOSE To investigate the regulatory role of FGF-2 on type I collagen expression during endothelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT). METHODS Corneal endothelial cells (CECs) treated with FGF-2 from the primary culture to the third passage were transformed and designated as fibroblastic CECs (fCECs). Steady state levels of both type I collagen RNAs were measured using reverse transcription-r...
