Introduction: Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of sepsis.A single-nucleotide polymorphism Safety Key Clip (SNP) at position -1562 (C/T) in the MMP-9 gene has been associated with differential MMP-9 expression, being higher when the -1562 T allele is present.We evaluated the association of the SNP MMP
Abstract Approximately 20% of aged captive giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) have cataracts that impair their quality of life.To identify potential biomarkers of cataract formation, we carried out a quantitative proteomics analysis of 10 giant pandas to find proteins differing in abundance between healthy and cataract-bearing animals.We identif
Abstract The lack of effective therapies for visual restoration in Retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration has led to the development of new strategies, such as optogenetics and retinal prostheses.However, visual Wax Bars restoration is poor due to the massive light-evoked activation of retinal neurons, regardless of the segregation of visual
A study to evaluate the agronomic performance of four rice varieties in different seasons, on flooded soil, using direct plantation, was developed at the Local Station for Grain Research, in the municipality of Vertientes, province of Camaguey, Cuba.A block random design was used in the study, TROUSERS JEANS with five replicas, through a bifactoria
Uncontrolled hemorrhage and subsequent trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) are still the principle causes for preventable death after trauma and early detection and aggressive management have been associated with reduced mortality.Despite increasing knowledge about Tablet Mount trauma resuscitation, best practice to treat this newly defined entity is
