We describe a rare case with breakage of gamma nail accompanied by nonunion of the original fracture and a subsequent new fracture in the ipsilateral femur.A 73-year-old woman suffered a subtrochanteric ceramic baffle board fracture of the femur, and the fracture was fixed with gamma nail at a previous hospital.However, fracture reduction was not a
Myelination of axons by oligodendrocytes is a key feature of the remarkably fast operating CNS.Oligodendrocytes not only tune axonal conduction speed but are also suggested to maintain long-term axonal integrity by providing metabolic support to the axons they ensheath.However, how myelinating oligodendrocytes impact axonal energy homeostasis remai
IntroductionHuman Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a betaherpesvirus that causes severe disease in immunocompromised transplant recipients.Immunotherapy with CD8 T cells specific for HCMV antigens presented on HLA class-I molecules is explored as strategy for long-term relief to such patients, but the antiviral effectiveness of T cell preparations cannot
With the rapid development of sequencing technologies, followed by the reduction of sequencing cost, numerous ornamental plants have been sequenced, resulting in their genomic studies shifting from gene cloning and marker development to whole genome profiling.A profound understanding of genome structure and function at the whole genome level can no
The study tackled the effect of humic acid and cadmium concentrations on the pumpkin seed germination characteristics throughout were studied.Treatments were cadmium concentrations on three levels: 0, 100 and 200 ppm and humic acid concentration of 0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 mg lit-1.Results showed that interaction of humic acid and cadmium was not s
