THE EFFECTS OF PROTECTIVE LUNG VENTILATION ON REGIONAL CEREBRAL OXYGEN SATURATION IN INTRACRANIAL TUMOR OPERATION DURING DURA OPENING: STUDY PROTOCOL FOR A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

The effects of protective lung ventilation on regional cerebral oxygen saturation in intracranial tumor operation during dura opening: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Objective The objective of this trial is to investigate the effects of protective lung ventilation on regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) during dura opening, that is from Ta (after dura opening) to Tb (before dura closing), in patients undergoing intracranial tumor surgery.Methods This is a randomized controlled trial which will be

Heart function enhancement by an Nrf2-activating antioxidant in acute Y-strain Chagas disease, but not in chronic Colombian or Y-strain.

Oxidative stress promotes T.cruzi growth and development of chronic Chagas heart dysfunction.However, the literature contains gaps that must be fulfilled, largely due to variations in parasite DTU sources, cell types, mouse strains, and tools to manipulate redox status.We assessed the impact of oxidative environment on parasite burden in cardiomyob

Three-color single molecule imaging shows WASP detachment from Arp2/3 complex triggers actin filament branch formation

During cell locomotion and endocytosis, membrane-tethered WASP proteins stimulate actin filament nucleation by the Arp2/3 complex.This process generates highly branched arrays of filaments that grow toward the membrane to which they are tethered, a conflict that seemingly would restrict filament growth.Using three-color single-molecule imaging in v

Comparative Yield and Photosynthetic Characteristics of Two Corn (Zea mays L.) Hybrids Differing in Maturity under Different Irrigation Treatments

Effective irrigation strategies are of great significance for improving crop yields.There is an increasing concern that short-season corn hybrids are gradually being encouraged to plant in the North Clove China Plain (NCP) with the development of mechanized grain harvesting, but the photosynthetic characteristics and productivity of short-season hy
