DIETARY BILE ACIDS SUPPLEMENTATION MODULATES IMMUNE RESPONSE, ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY, GLUCOSE, AND LIPID METABOLISM IN NORMAL AND INTRAUTERINE GROWTH RETARDATION PIGLETS

Dietary bile acids supplementation modulates immune response, antioxidant capacity, glucose, and lipid metabolism in normal and intrauterine growth retardation piglets

Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) results in intestinal dysfunction contributing to metabolic syndrome and growth lag of piglets.Bile acid (BA) presents various bioactivities, including regulation roles in antioxidant, anti-inflammation, and glucose and lipid metabolism.Forty-eight weaned piglets were allocated to four groups in a 2 × 2 facto

Long-term outcomes of one single-design varus valgus constrained versus one single-design rotating hinge in revision knee arthroplasty after over 10-year follow-up

Abstract Background The appropriate degree of constraint in knee prosthetic revision is unknown, necessitating the use of the lowest possible constraint.This study aimed to compare the long-term clinical and survival results of revision with rotation hinge knee (RHK) VS constrained condylar constrained knee (CCK) implants.Methods Overall, 117 revis

Tephra segregation profiles based on disdrometer observations and tephra dispersal modeling: Vulcanian eruptions of Sakurajima volcano, Japan

Abstract The profile of tephra concentration along a volcanic plume (i.e., the tephra segregation profile) is an important source parameter for the simulation of tephra transport and deposition and thus for the tephra sedimentation load.The most commonly-used approach is to treat an eruption as a single event (i.e., with a time-averaged mass erupti
