Skin Lesions in Swine with Decompression Sickness: Clinical Appearance and Pathogenesis.
Abstract: Skin lesions are visual clinical manifestations of decompression sickness (DCS). Comprehensive knowledge of skin lesions would give simple but strong clinical evidence to help diagnose DCS. The aim of this study was to systematically...
Hyperbaric oxygenation and 20-hydroxyeicosatetreanoic acid inhibition reduce stroke volume in female diabetic Sprague-Dawley rats.
Abstract: What is the central question of this study? Is there a beneficial effect and what are the mechanisms of acute and multiple hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO2 ) exposures on the outcome of cerebral tissue injury induced by a transient middle...
Clinical Trial – Hyperbaric Oxygen and Orthopedic Comprehensive Treatment for Traumatic Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury in the Plateau
To observe modified Barthel index, American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale
grading, sensory score and motor score in patients with incomplete SCI in the plateau using
0.2 MPa HBO combined with pedicle screw fixation and decompressive laminectomy so as to
investigate the effect of HBO therapy on incomplete SCI in the plateau.
The histone demethylase lysine-specific demethylase-1-mediated epigenetic silence of KLF2 contributes to gastric cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.
Abstract: Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies and leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. An increasing number of evidence has revealed that gastric tumorigenesis is a multistage pathological state, and epigenetic...
