episode predicted difficulty in the overall operation. Predicting difficulties in dissection of Calot's triangle was most difficult and not dependent upon CRP value. Among 152 776 cholecystectomies registered in the Swedish Inpatient Registry, 613 (0...
Chemoattractants as causative agents, biomarkers and therapeutic targets in vascular pathology
(2006-09-22)
-PSOX, which mediates uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) by cells. We detected abundant CXCL16/SR-PSOX and CXCR6 expression in atherosclerotic lesions from human subjects and apolipoprotein-Edeficient (ApoE-/-) mice. In monocytes, CXCL16/SR...

The central nervous system is vulnerable to various insults and
particularly to ischemia. To mimic ischemia, a photochemical or
compression lesion was induced in the right sensory motor cortex of rat
brains. We studied ...
