LL-37 induced cystitis and the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) pathway.

Advances in bioscience and biotechnology (Print)

Roundy LM, Jia W, Zhang J, Ye X, Prestwich GD, Oottamasathien S.
PMID: 24883227
Adv Biosci Biotechnol. 2013 Aug 01;4(8):1-8. doi: 10.4236/abb.2013.48a2001.

To elucidate pathways in bladder inflammation, we employed our physiologically relevant LL-37 induced cystitis model. Based on inflammatory studies involving other organ systems implicating the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE), we first hypothesized that RAGE is critically involved...

How Does the Effort Spent to Hold a Door Affect Verbal Thanks and Reciprocal Help?.

Frontiers in psychology

Fox GR, Araujo HF, Metke MJ, Shafer C, Damasio A.
PMID: 26617559
Front Psychol. 2015 Nov 12;6:1737. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2015.01737. eCollection 2015.

When someone holds a door for us we often respond with a verbal "thanks." But given such a trivial favor, our feelings can vary considerably depending on how the door is held. Studies have shown that verbal thanking increases...

A microfluidic device to study cancer metastasis under chronic and intermittent hypoxia.

Biomicrofluidics

Acosta MA, Jiang X, Huang PK, Cutler KB, Grant CS, Walker GM, Gamcsik MP.
PMID: 25584114
Biomicrofluidics. 2014 Oct 17;8(5):054117. doi: 10.1063/1.4898788. eCollection 2014 Sep.

Metastatic cancer cells must traverse a microenvironment ranging from extremely hypoxic, within the tumor, to highly oxygenated, within the host's vasculature. Tumor hypoxia can be further characterized by regions of both chronic and intermittent hypoxia. We present the design...

Symptomatology and Coping Resources Predict Self-Care Behaviors in Middle to Older Age Patients with Heart Failure.

Nursing research and practice

Graven LJ, Grant JS, Gordon G.
PMID: 26618000
Nurs Res Pract. 2015;2015:840240. doi: 10.1155/2015/840240. Epub 2015 Nov 05.

Background. Symptoms of heart failure (HF) and coping resources, such as social support and social problem-solving, may influence self-care behaviors. Research regarding the influence of HF symptomatology characteristics and components of social support and social problem-solving on self-care is...

Cumulative risk assessment lessons learned: a review of case studies and issue papers.

Chemosphere

Gallagher SS, Rice GE, Scarano LJ, Teuschler LK, Bollweg G, Martin L.
PMID: 25462315
Chemosphere. 2015 Feb;120:697-705. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2014.10.030. Epub 2014 Nov 06.

Cumulative risk assessments (CRAs) examine potential risks posed by exposure to multiple and sometimes disparate environmental stressors. CRAs are more resource intensive than single chemical assessments, and pose additional challenges and sources of uncertainty. CRAs may examine the impact...

Use of first or second trimester serum markers, or both, to predict preeclampsia.

Pregnancy hypertension

Lambert-Messerlian G, Eklund EE, Chien EK, Rosene-Montella K, Neveux LM, Haddow HR, Palomaki GE.

OBJECTIVES: Preeclampsia is a serious complication of pregnancy, threatening fetal and maternal health. The aim of our study is to examine the association between preeclampsia and biochemical markers, in matched first and second trimester maternal serum samples.STUDY DESIGN: This...

Longevity of Atlantic Sharpnose Sharks Rhizoprionodon terraenovae and Blacknose Sharks Carcharhinus acronotus in the western North Atlantic Ocean based on tag-recapture data and direct age estimates.

F1000Research

Frazier BS, Driggers Iii WB, Ulrich GF.
PMID: 25685321
F1000Res. 2014 Aug 12;3:190. doi: 10.12688/f1000research.4767.1. eCollection 2014.

Longevity of Rhizoprionodon terraenovae and Carcharhinus acronotus in the western North Atlantic Ocean was examined using direct age estimates from vertebral sections and tag-recapture data. Time-at-liberty ranged from 7.7-12.1 years (mean =9.2) for R. terraenovae and 10.9-12.8 years (mean...
