Role of two efflux proteins, ABCB1 and ABCG2 in blood-brain barrier transport of bromocriptine in a murine model of MPTP-induced dopaminergic degeneration by Milane, Aline

“…Studies of ABCB1 and ABCG2 activity showed that MPTP intoxication did not alter their functionality. Conversely, ABCG2 expression studied on brain capillaries from MPTP-treated mice was decreased (1.3-fold, p<0.05) and ABCB1 expression increased (1.43-fold, p<0.05) as an off-setting of brain transport. …”

Treatment sequencing strategy for hepatic epithelioid haemangioendothelioma by Thomas, Ryan

“…However, 5-year survival for patients treated with chemotherapy at any point during their disease course was decreased compared with those who did not receive any chemotherapy (43.6% versus 82.9%, respectively; P = 0.02) and was predictive of a decreased overall survival on univariate analysis [HR 3.1 (CI 0.9–10.7), P = 0.02]. …”

Soluble Neuropilin-1 Response to Hypoglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes: Increased Risk or Protection in SARS-CoV-2 Infection? by Abu Saleh Md Moin (6189512)

“…SEMA3A was not different at baseline; at hypoglycemia, SEMA3A decreased in controls only. Post-hypoglycemia, SEMA3A levels were higher in T2D versus controls. sNRP1 did not correlate with ACE2, REN or AGT. …”

Unpacking the asymmetric impact of exchange rate volatility on trade flows: A study of selected developed and developing Asian economies by Umar Nawaz Kayani (17131781)

Application of an empirical transport model to simulate retention of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide in sand columns by Choy, Christine Chin

“…Most of the nanoparticles remained in the sand columns, with an increasing then decreasing retained solids pattern. Application of a one-dimensional advection–dispersion flow model, that included two empirical kinetic terms to account for particle retention in the porous media, produced data fits that followed the general trend of the data, but did not truly capture the concentration maxima in the data sets. …”

Stimulation of sphingosine 1-phosphate signaling as an alveolar cell survival strategy in emphysema by Diab, Khalil J.

“…Administration of sphingosine decreased the ceramide-to-S1P ratio in the lung and inhibited alveolar space enlargement, along with activation of prosurvival signaling pathways and decreased lung parenchyma cell apoptosis. …”

The impact of counseling on nutritional status among hematopoietic stem cell recipients: results of a randomized controlled trial by Jabbour, Jana

“…Studies assessing malnutrition rates in HSCT showed that malnutrition rates are low at admission (ranging between 4 and 6%), elevated at hospital discharge (ranging between 35 and 60%), and gradually decreases post discharge [2, 3]. A prospective cohort study suggested that even though patients had improved quality of life, physical activity levels, and lean body mass post HSCT, they did not regain their pre-HSCT levels 100 days post transplantation compared to admission. …”

CFR decreased only in low-risk subjects (from 13.3 to 5.2%; P < 0.001), and particularly in those aged ≥80 (from 18.2 to 6.6%; P = 0.003), but not in high-risk individuals (from 69.9 to 64.2%; P = 0.713).…”
