The cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) is an important index for predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes in small-for-gestational-age and appropriate-for-gestational-age fetuses. To find out whether there is an association between the CPR level and the blood cord gases analysis in appropriate for gestational age fetuses. This cross-sectional study included...

Background: Resistive index (RI), derived from color Doppler imaging (CDI), is a marker of vascular resistance used widely in varied clinical settings. The aim of this study was to analyze the association between RIs of the orbital vessels in a pure cohort of type 2 diabetic patients with or without retinopathy using CDI. Methods: Fifty patients ha...

Modern microsurgical reconstruction aims to achieve functional and satisfactory esthetic outcome and the primary thinning procedure results in one-stage reconstruction. However, current techniques are lacking preoperative knowledge of the peripheral perforator in the adipose layer. We hypothesized that the combination of the knowledge of microvascu...

BackgroundDoppler ultrasonography (US) is the main imaging modality of hemodialysis AV fistula as it is safe non-invasive accurate modality. This study is to measure the arteriovenous (AV) fistula blood flow during early postoperative period (7–14 days) and assess its predictive role in AV fistula failure in hemodialysis patients. Color Doppler ult...

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 immunoglobulin (CTLA-4-Ig) can inhibit the effect of B7-1 and improve renal hemodynamics in rats with diabetic nephropathy (DN). Nevertheless, a strategy that could increase the permeation of CTLA-4-Ig through endothelial cells and basement membrane remains to be discovered. We investigated the effect of ...
