Cerebral air embolism (CAE) is a common, often lethal, complication in blunt and penetrating chest trauma. The factors affecting the outcome of CAE patients are poorly understood, and there is no generally accepted treatment algorithm. In this report, we present the case of a 28-year-old male motorcyclist with a massive CAE, including bilateral internal carotid artery air on computed tomographi...

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of angiotensin (Ang) 1-7 on caerulein (CAE)-stimulated nuclear factor (NF)‑κB, Toll‑like receptor (TLR4) and cytokine expression using pancreatic acinar AR42J cells. AR42J cells were treated with 10 nmol/l CAE for various durations. In addition, cells were pretreated with various concentrations of Ang 1‑7 or A779, a specific antagonist of Ang 1...

Leaf extracts of C. vamana, endemic to Kerala state in India, were found to inhibit cell cycle progression in synchronous cultures of P. polycephalum in a concentration and phase-specific manner. Crude alkaloid extract (CAE) elicited maximum cell cycle delays in comparison to soxhletted chloroform, acetone and aqueous extracts. Total alkaloid content of CAE was found to be 64.9 mg/g. CAE showed...

Hypohydration occurs during cold-air exposure (CAE) through combined effects of reduced fluid intake and increased fluid losses. Because hypohydration is associated with reduced physical performance, strategies for maintaining hydration during CAE are important. Glycerol ingestion (GI) can induce hyperhydration in hot and temperate environments, resulting in greater fluid retention compared wit...

As HPC continues its aggressive platform migration from proprietary supercomputers and Unix servers to HPC clusters, expectations grow for clusters to meet the I/O demands of increasing fidelity in CAE modeling and data management in the CAE workflow. Cluster deployments have increased as organizations seek ways to costeffectively grow compute resources for CAE applications, and during this mig...

The urgent issues for automobile companies today are how to reduce the time and cost required for developing a new car. CAE ( Computer Aided Engineering ) has been regarded as an efficient way to solve these issues, and as a numerical experiment to replace prototypes and experiments. CAE was first introduced to reproduce phenomena that are elusive in regular experiments. Now it is even capable ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of a chokeberry anthocyanin extract (CAE) on pancreatic β-cells (βTC3) exposed to hydrogen peroxide- (H2O2-) and high glucose- (HG-) induced oxidative stress conditions. In order to quantify individual anthocyanins high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to photodiode array (PDA) was used. The identification of the fr...

INTRODUCTION It has been postulated that low vitamin D levels are associated with coronary artery diseases. Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is associated with atherosclerosis, congenital cardiac defects, immunological diseases and connective tissue diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether there is an association between vitamin D and parathormone levels and isolated coronary arter...

Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is an abnormality of the coronary anatomy and might be a variant of the Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). The CAE can cause angina pectoris and even MI with vasospasm, dissection, or thrombus in patients without CAD. Isolated CAE is defined as CAE without significant coronary artery stenosis. The mechanisms responsible for ectasia formation are not clearly known. Howe...

Among the numerous chemicals discharged into the surrounding environment, bisphenol A (BPA) and octylphenol (OP) have been shown to increase oxidative stress in body by disturbing the prooxidant/antioxidant balance of cells. Cinnamon aqueous extract (CAE) is a natural product rich in polyphenolic compounds that have antioxidant activity. This study was designed to investigate the protective eff...
