We have investigated sequential changes in skeletal muscle and hepatic protein synthesis following sepsis, and their relationship to changes in circulating and tissue glutamine concentrations. Male Wistar rats underwent caecal ligation and puncture (CLP) or sham operation, with starvation, and were killed 24, 72 or 96 h later. A group of non-operated animals were killed at the time of surgery. ...

Cross-lingual plagiarism (CLP) occurs when texts written in one language are translated into a different language and used without acknowledging the original sources. One of the most common methods for detecting CLP requires online machine translators (such as Google or Microsoft translate) which are not always available, and given that plagiarism detection typically involves large document com...

Acute renal failure (ARF) is frequently associated with polyuria and urine concentration defects and it is a severe complication of sepsis because it increases the mortality rate. Inhibition of NF-kappaB activation has been suggested to provide a useful strategy for the treatment of septic shock. However, the impact on sepsis-induced ARF is still unclear. Therefore, we examined the effect of py...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to elucidate the possible beneficial effects of AcF on acute lung injury (ALI) in a rat model of sepsis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the following four experimental groups (n = 10 per group): animals undergoing a sham cecal ligature puncture (CLP) (Sham group); animals undergoing CLP (control group); or anim...

The China Loess Plateau (CLP) is a unique geomorphological unit with abundant coal resources but fragile ecological environment. Since the implementation of Western Development plan in 2000, Grain for Green Project (GGP), mining, and urbanization have been extensively promoted by government CLP. However, research on influence these human projects environment (EE) still lacking. In this study, w...

Cervical spine anomalies can coexist with of the head and neck. The association cervical vertebrae (CVA) cleft lip palate (CLP) has been described as probably result a failure in normal embryological segmentation. most frequent congenital alterations CLP-related are vertebral fusion (VF) deficiency posterior arch (PAD). We report case an acute, non-traumatic onset paraparesis 14 years old girl ...

Background: The aim of this work was to investigate whether Follistatin like 1 (FSTL1) exerted an effect on acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by sepsis, and explore the molecular mechanism. Methods: A cecal ligation puncture (CLP) model established adenoviral solution administrated newborn rats achieve FSTL1 knockdown. Colorimetric assays measured concentrations serum creatinine blood urea nitr...

Since its introduction in logic programming, tabulation has proven to a be powerful tool in many areas. The technique has been lifted to constraint extensions of Datalog and to constraint logic programming (CLP). In this abstract, we describe a new formulation of tabulation for CLP, directly designed towards an implementation on CLP systems. We illustrate the use of our algorithm by comparing t...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of copaiba oil as a prophylactic and/or therapeutic substance on survival of rats subjected to cecal ligation and puncture, describing histopathological and oxidative stress findings. METHODS Forty rats (Ratus norvegicus) were distributed into five study groups (N=8): Sham group (ShG): normal standard animals; Sepse group (SepG): submitted a cecal ligation and ...
