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 ...

BACKGROUND Sepsis-induced myocardial injury is one of the major predictors of morbidity and mortality of sepsis. The cytoprotective function of erythropoietin (EPO) has been discovered and extensively studied. However, the cardioprotective effects of EPO on sepsis-induced myocardial injury in the rat sepsis model has not been reported. METHODS The rat models of sepsis were produced by cecal l...

PURPOSE Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) has been used as a useful model for the induction of polymicrobial sepsis. Necrotic tissue resection and peritoneal lavage (REL) are the surgical procedures for controlling perforated appendicitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate leukocyte-endothelial interactions in the rat mesentery in vivo after CLP and REL. METHODS Thirty-seven male Wistar r...

We study under which conditions the domain of-terms () and the equality theory of the-calculus () form the basis of a usable constraint logic programming language (CLP). The conditions are that the equality theory must contain axiom , and the formula language must depart from Horn clauses and accept universal quantiications and implications in goals. In short, CLP(,) must be close to Prolog.

Age/gender may likely influence the course of septic complications after trauma. We aimed to characterize the influence of age/gender on the response of circulating cytokines, cells and organ function in post-traumatic sepsis. We additionally tested whether post-traumatic responses alone can accurately predict outcomes in subsequent post-traumatic sepsis. A mouse 2-hit model of trauma/hemorrhag...
