AIM To investigate plasma levels of the neutrophil-borne heparin-binding protein (HBP) in patients with induced hypothermia after cardiac arrest (CA), and to study any association to severity of organ failure, incidence of infection and neurological outcome. METHODS This study included 84 patients with CA of mixed origin who were treated with hypothermia. Plasma samples from 7 time points dur...

© 2009 Yun Zhang et al. 151 In this paper, we propose an adaptive multiview video coding scheme based on spatiotemporal correlation analyses using hierarchical B picture (AMVC-HBP) for the integrative encoding performances, including high compression efficiency, low complexity, fast random access, and view scalability, by integrating multiple prediction structures. We also propose an in-coding ...

The galactophilic lectin expressed on the surface of cultured Hodgkin's cells, recently described by this laboratory, has binding characteristics similar to those of the hepatic asialoglycoprotein receptor (HBP), and has been recognized as a M, 55,000 (pSS) membrane glycoprotein by a polyclonal antiserum to rat HBP. This study confirms the close structural relationship between the two lectins s...

Hemoglobin protease (Hbp) is a hemoglobin-degrading protein that is secreted by a human pathogenic Escherichia coli strain via the autotransporter mechanism. Little is known about the earliest steps in autotransporter secretion, i.e. the targeting to and translocation across the inner membrane. Here, we present evidence that Hbp interacts with the signal recognition particle (SRP) and the Sec-t...

-9]. Irrespective of the assessment tool used, a number studies have indicated that frailty is associated with surgical outcomes and survival [5-13]. Therefore, it considered frail patients may be possible candidates for prehabilitation.Effect prehabilitationPrehabilitation strongly endorsed in ERAS® recommendation [14]. However, effect prehabilitation HBP cancer still unclear. In randomized co...

African American adults, in the United States (US), bear the greatest burden of high blood pressure (HBP)--a primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease and premature death. Current research does not adequately inform the design of multi-level interventions that work to control HBP in this at-risk population. The purpose of this study was to uncover information about priority strategies reco...

Abstract Background Permanent His Bundle Pacing (HBP) is the most physiological form of ventricular pacing. bundle stimulation can be selective (s-HBP) or non-selective (ns-HBP). Few comparative data in terms safety and efficacy among two are available literature. Purpose Evaluate s-HBP ns-HBP identify predictors one other stimulation. Methods Prospective analysis patients with HBP implanted be...

To study the effects of myocardial hypertrophy resulting from chronic pressure overload on excitation-contraction coupling, the cardiac transmembrane L-type calcium current (ICa) was investigated in the Goldblatt renovascular hypertensive (HBP) rat. ICa was measured in single myocytes enzymatically isolated from control (CTRL) and HBP rat hearts using the whole-cell, patch-clamp method. The pea...

The objective of this study was to characterize the heparin-binding properties of a protein secreted by mouse myeloma cells. The characterization was performed using clinical assays, such as heparin activity assays and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) platelet activation assays. The tests were performed in the presence of heparin, low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH), or heparinoids and e...
