RESULTS: Nine of the 10 arms were male. The APL tendon had a mean of 3.3 ± 1.3 slips. The EPB tendon had one slip in all specimens. Seven compartments (70%) had an identifiable EPB subcompartment and four (57%) were thick. An osseous ridge was seen in 2 specimens, both with a thick subcompartment. The two arms with osseous ridges revealed radiopaque ridges on x-ray. Radiologists’ x-ray reviews ...

A 15-year-old pitcher on a boys' Little League baseball team suffered spontaneous rupture of the extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) tendon. Since the EPB tendon was, at surgery, found hypoplastic and non-functional, transfer of the extensor indicis proprius (EIP) tendon was carried out. After a 6-month period of rehabilitation and follow-up, the patient was able to resume playing baseball. Although...

Localization of expression and secretion of a heterologous barley cysteine endopeptidase (EPB) and the homologous main cellobiohydrolase I (CBHI) in a Trichoderma reesei transformant expressing both proteins were studied. The transformant was grown on solid medium with Avicel cellulose and lactose to induce the cbh1 promoter for the synthesis of the native CBHI and the recombinant barley protei...

Preterm birth is a major global health problem that results in a large number of infant deaths, many of which are attributable to the complications of an immature epidermal permeability barrier (EPB), for which there is currently no effective therapeutic option. The mammalian EPB is formed during development and is essential for survival as it maintains thermoregulation and hydration, and provi...

BACKGROUND Tuberculosis immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is a common cause of deterioration in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients receiving tuberculosis treatment after starting antiretroviral therapy (ART). Potentially life-threatening neurological involvement occurs frequently and has been suggested as a reason to defer ART. METHODS We conducted a prospec...

近年来，随着TOD的迅速发展，大直径TBM盾构机在城市轨道交通隧道施工中得到了广泛的应用，但 其排渣方式有连续皮带机排渣和有轨机车排渣两种，各具特点。随着TBM盾构机的广泛使用，两种排渣方式的选择问 题尤为突出。选择合适的排渣方式，可以充分发挥大直径TBM盾构施工高效的特点，有效缓解工程工期压力，提高效 率。因此，如何选择合适的排渣方式，本文将从技术、经济性两方面探讨连续皮带排渣与有轨机车排渣的优缺点及应 用场景。
