BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Accurate information about hospital resource utilization is necessary for management of healthcare service. The purpose of this study was to determine the demographic and… (More)
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can mediate its therapeutic effect through Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) expressed on tumor cells including neuroblastoma. We used synthetic dsRNA polyinosinic-polycytidylic… (More)
BACKGROUND
The prognostic value of the level of interleukin (IL)-18 in patients after acute ischemic stroke (IS) has not been completely investigated. This prospective cohort study examined whether… (More)
Mitochondria are known to be involved in cholestatic liver injury. The potential protective effect of resveratrol in cholestatic liver injury and the possible roles of autophagy and apoptosis… (More)
This study investigated the levels of serum thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and free thiols in schizophrenia patients and healthy control subjects, and evaluated the effects of… (More)

Neuroblastoma (NB) is characterized by pleomorphic molecular characteristics, which may influence cellular metabolism as well as the efficacy of glycolytic inhibitors in suppressing NB cell growth.… (More)
Neuroblastoma is characterized by a wide range of clinical manifestations and associated with poor prognosis when there is amplification of MYCN oncogene or high expression of Myc oncoproteins. In a… (More)
BACKGROUND
Seizures are important neurological complications of ischemic stroke. There is a need to further clarify the risk factors of seizures following ischemic stroke and predict those who will… (More)
Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA), a phytochemical derived from the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza, has been shown to inhibit growth and induce apoptosis in various cancer cells. The association of its… (More)
Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 can heterodimerise with TLR6 to detect diacylated lipoproteins. Hypoxia inducible factor-1 α co-ordinates selective induction of TLR2 and TLR6 during persistent hypoxia. We… (More)
