In mammals and in plants, parental genome dosage imbalance deregulates embryo growth and might be involved in reproductive isolation between emerging new species.Increased dosage of maternal genomes represses growth while an increased dosage of paternal genomes has the opposite effect.These observations led to the discovery of imprinted genes, whic
Background: A safe and effective vaccine against COVID-19 has become a public health priority.However, little is known about the public willingness to accept a future COVID-19 vaccine in China.This study aimed to understand the willingness and determinants for the acceptance of a COVID-19 vaccine among Chinese adults.Methods: A cross-sectional surv
The sphenoid sinus is adjacent to the cavernous sinus, pituitary gland, optic nerve, and internal carotid artery, and sphenoid sinusitis can cause various inflammation of these surrounding structures.However, intracranial complications of sinusitis are quite rare.We experienced a case of sinusitis with a pituitary abscess.A 64-year-old man with unc
Surgical site infections (SSI) of the abdominal wall in renal transplant recipients can on occasion require management with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT).This is often successful, with a low risk of further complications.However, we describe three cases in which persistent or recurrent surgical site sepsis occurred, whilst NPWT was being d
BackgroundSevere infections are characterized by inflammation and oxidative damage.Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) administration may attenuate oxidative damage and, in turn, reduce vascular endothelial injury in pulmonary orange zinger tomato and systemic vasculature.ObjectiveWe aim to describe a protocol for a living systematic review that will evaluat
