Abstract Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play important roles in cancer tumorigenesis and progression, representing prognostic biomarkers therapeutic targets. In this case, we demonstrated the role of circ-NOLC1 epithelial ovarian (EOC). Our results have shown that Circ-NOLC1 expression was higher EOC tissues than normal tissues, positively associated with FIGO stage, differentiation. Among cell lines...

BACKGROUND Lipodystrophy in HIV type-1 (HIV-1)-infected patients is the consequence of effects originating from antiretroviral treatment and HIV-1 infection. We have studied adipose tissues and circulating parameters in mice bearing the HIV-1 transgene as a model to provide insight into the role of HIV-1-infection-related events in fat alterations. METHODS Heterozygous transgenic mice express...

© 2008 Association médicale canadienne A elderly woman in a vegetative state from previous head trauma was transferred from her nursing home to the emergency department for evaluation of a 5-day history of abdominal distention and fever. On examination, she was febrile to 40°C and had an edematous abdominal wall with mild left-sided erythema. One week before presentation, her feeding gastrostom...

Highly active antiretroviral therapy has remarkably improved quality of life of HIV-1-infected patients. However, this treatment has been associated with the so-called lipodystrophic syndrome, which conveys a number of adverse metabolic effects and morphological alterations. Among them, lipoatrophy of subcutaneous fat in certain anatomical areas and hypertrophy of visceral depots are the most c...

1. A method for measuring interstitial 'fluid' pressure by using a wick consisting of long-stranded cotton wool at the interface of the tissue is described. 2. A correct measurement of hydrostatic fluid pressure was obtained when the wick, connected to a suitable transducer, was applied to filter paper in which the channels contained fluid at a known subatmospheric pressure. 3. A mean subatmosp...

Abstract Rhinoplasty as an operation is akin to a game of chess, where every maneuver will influence the eventual outcome. Undoubtedly, more than one approach nasal soft tissues envelop can produce beautiful and safe results be described in paper namely, subcutaneous, sub-superficial musculoaponeurotic system, supra- sub-perichondral planes. For different justifiable reasons surgeons have their...

Objective. To analyze the results of fat grafting in volume restoration, soft tissues and skin defects correction.
 Materials methods. Autologous was performed for aesthetic correction 30 women, as well 3 patients with long-term non-healing trophic ulcers to obtain a regenerative effect. Subcutaneous aspiration implemented using standard liposuction techniques, water jet, mechanical syring...

BACKGROUND The fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene has been found to contribute to the risk of obesity in humans, but the function and regulation of FTO mRNA expression in adipose tissues remain to be clarified. Our aims were to assess the FTO gene expression in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues from morbidly obese women and its relation with obesity, insulin resistance indices, ...

Subcutaneous emphysema is a known complication of carbon dioxide insufflation, an essential component of laparoscopy. The literature contains reports of hypercarbia, pneumothorax, or pneumomediastinum. However, isolated lower extremity subcutaneous emphysema remains a seldom-reported complication. We report a case of unilateral lower extremity subcutaneous emphysema following robotic-assisted h...

Objective. To present a rare case of extensive subcutaneous emphysema and spontaneous pneumomediastinum following ingestion of Ecstasy in a young adult. We also review the relevant literature and discuss how this case supplements it. Case Report. We report a case of a 19-year-old man with a history of painless neck and chest swelling, and no chest pain or breathlessness, after consuming Ecstasy...
