Purpose of ReviewAlthough surgery for lung cancer was not common before the early twentieth century, it has enjoyed remarkable progress since then both in type of resection and technical approach. This has been coupled with significant technological advances. Here, we will review the history and evolution of this relatively new field of surgery.Rec...
Gut microbiota has been proved to be an indispensable link between nutrient excess and metabolic syndrome, and chitin oligosaccharide (NACOS) has displayed therapeutic effects on multiple diseases such as cancer and gastritis. In this study, we aim to confirm whether NACOS can ameliorate high-fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic syndrome by rebuilding ...
Ochratoxin A (OTA, 0.25 mg/kg body weight) was absorbed rapidly (T-max = 0.31-1.88 h) in all avian species (broiler chickens, laying hens, turkeys, and Muscovy ducks) but more slowly in broiler chickens (T-max = 1.43-4.63 h). The absolute oral bioavailability was complete in these bird species (88.0-109.6%). Ducks have a significantly higher volume...
Zearalenone-14-glucoside (ZEN-14G), the modified mycotoxin of zearalenone (ZEN), has attracted considerable attention due to its high potential to be hydrolyzed into ZEN, which would exert toxicity. It has been confirmed that the microflora could metabolize ZEN-14G to ZEN. However, the metabolic profile of ZEN-14G and whether it could be deglucosid...
Background: Skin wound healing includes a system of biological processes, collectively restoring the integrity of the skin after injury. Healing by second intention refers to repair of large and deep wounds where the tissue edges cannot be approximated and substantial scarring is often observed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effec...
BACKGROUND: The potential impact of microwave radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) emitted by wireless communication devices on neurocognitive functions of adolescents is controversial. In a previous analysis, we found changes in figural memory scores associated with a higher cumulative RF-EMF brain dose in adolescents. OBJECTIVE: We aime...
Fragrances have rapid effect on our central nervous system, such as making the spirit of relaxation, relieving tensions and refreshing ourselves. However, the release of fragrances is not stable. Here, we added photo-driven mesoporous silica nanocolumns loaded with sandela 803 ([email protected]) into wallpaper to obtain fragrant wallpaper ([email protected]). W...
