HoxA5 is expressed in quiescent endothelial cells (EC), but absent here in activated angiogenic EC.To examine the efficacy of targeting HoxA5 therapeutically to quell pathologic or tumor angiogenesis, we generated an inducible, transgenic mouse model of sustained HoxA5 expression in ECs.During pathologic angiogenesis, sustained HoxA5 regulates expr
Background & Objectives: Neonatal period is a vulnerable time in which the newborn has to adapt to a totally new environment and is susceptible to many problems, which may even be life threatening.Every year, millions of neonates are born and a large proportion of them are admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for various indicati
Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) has occupied an important position in modern surgery, further stimulating the progress of methodology and technology.In recent years, a large number here of computer vision-based methods have been widely used in surgical workflow recognition tasks.For training the models, a lot of annotated data are necessary.However
In a rooted tree, protected nodes are neither leaves nor parents of any leaves.They have some practical motivations, e.g., in organizational schemes, security models and social-network models.Protected node here profile measures the number of protected nodes with the same distance from the root in rooted trees.For no rooted tree, protected node pro
Objective General anaesthesia with tracheal intubation results in sore throat.We evaluated the influence of the two-handed jaw thrust on postoperative sore throat in patients who require tracheal intubation.Methods In this prospective, double-blind, single-centre, parallel-arm, and randomised trial, 92 patients who were scheduled for general anaest
