LEDs Abstract Background Fatal heroin overdose is a significant cause of mortality for injection drug users (IDUs).Many of these deaths are preventable because opiate overdoses can be quickly and safely reversed through the injection of Naloxone [brand name Narcan], a prescription drug used to revive persons who have overdosed on heroin or other op
Deep somatic soft tissue leiomyoma is a rare benign smooth muscle tumor, with around 60 cases reported thus far in the literature.Herein, we report a huge leiomyoma in deep somatic soft tissue with massive calcification in the peroneus longus muscle.A 29-year-old male Incontinence/Furniture Protection patient presented with a hard, spindle-shaped,
The multi-pulse rectifier has gained Brandy Glasses a wide range of applications in the high-power rectification system due to the advantages like simple structure, high efficiency, and high reliability.In this paper, an 18-pulse auto-transformer rectifier unit (ATRU) with adjustable output DC voltage was studied, to meet the requirements of high e
Aims: This study aimed to explore the precise mechanism and signaling pathways of mesangial cell (MC) proliferation from a new point of view considering Connexin 43 (Cx43).Methods: MC proliferation was measured by the incorporation of 3H-thymidine (3H-TdR).Cx43 was over-expressed in MC cells using lipofectamine 2000, and the expression level was te
Host cells impose a broad range of obstacles to the replication of retroviruses.Tetherin (also known as CD317, BST-2 or HM1.24) impedes viral release by retaining newly budded HIV-1 virions on the surface of cells.HIV-1 Vpu efficiently counteracts this restriction.Here, we show that HIV-1 Vpu induces the depletion of tetherin from cells.We demonstr
