Background and Objectives: A potential role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the pathophysiology of infantile hemangiomas (IH) is thought to be plausible. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the importance of determi...
Since seminal descriptions of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) as a signal transducer and transcriptional regulator, which is most usually activated by phosphorylation of a specific tyrosine residue, a staggering wealth of r...
Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common benign vascular tumor of infancy, characterized by a unique life cycle encompassing a rapid proliferative phase followed by spontaneous involution. Although the majority of cases exhibit a favorable progno...
Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are benign vascular neoplasms of childhood (prevalence 5–10%) due to the abnormal proliferation of endothelial cells. IHs are characterized by a peculiar natural life cycle enclosing three phases: proliferative (≤...
The mammary gland undergoes significant changes throughout a woman’s life; from embryonic development to transformations after breastfeeding and during aging. These processes, while essential for normal breast physiology, can increase breast ca...
To understand how genes precisely regulate lactation physiological activity and the molecular genetic mechanisms underlying mammary gland involution, this study investigated the transcriptome characteristics of goat mammary gland tissues at the late...
The association of progesterone/progesterone metabolites with elevated mammographic breast density (MBD) and delayed age-related terminal duct lobular unit (TDLU) involution, strong breast cancer risk factors, has received limited attention. Using a...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) control the proliferation of thymic epithelial cells (TECs) for thymic involution. Previous studies have shown that expression levels of miR-152-3p were significantly increased in the thymus and TECs during the involution of the mo...
The objective of the current study was to investigate the echotextural and hemodynamic changes of ewes entering the dry period with or without subclinical mastitis. B-mode and color Doppler ultrasonography were applied to 12 Chios ewes (6 with health...
The human breast gland is a unique organ as most of its development occurs postnatally between menarche and menopause, a period ranging from 30 to 40 years. During this period, the monthly menstruation cycle drives the mammary gland through phases of...
Hemangiomas of the head and neck are considered to be benign tumors of infancy that are characterized by a rapid growth phase with endothelial cell proliferation, followed by gradual involution. Central hemangiomas are a rare occurrence and even rare...
Many of the most fundamental observables—position, momentum, phase point, and spin direction—cannot be measured by an instrument that obeys the orthogonal projection postulate. Continuous-in-time measurements provide the missing theoretic...
Planetary gears consisting of simple external gear wheels and an internal ring gear are widely used in industry in various fields. This type of drive is most commonly found in robots, and it is also frequently used in the automotive industry, such as...
The work aims at validating a methodology for 3D printing of gears with involute gearing and evaluating their mechanical properties using infrared camera. A general methodology for the setup of 3D printing of gears made of polymeric materials has bee...
The responsiveness of the stress axis is fundamental for maintaining health and sustaining productive performance; however, the effect of modulating this stress axis with bovine appeasing substance and its effects on biochemical, immunological, oxida...
The dry period is a critical window of susceptibility to intramammary infection in dairy cows, yet the metabolic environment of the mammary gland during this phase remains largely uncharacterized. The objective of this study was to profile the metabo...
This paper presents a numerical assessment of bending-fatigue durability in the tooth root region of cylindrical involute gears. Multiple gear pairs were modelled with different numbers of teeth and varying gear rim thicknesses. The generated geometr...
Currently, in nonlinear optics, models associated with various types of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (scalar (NLS), vector (VNLS), derivative (DNLS)), as well as with higher and mixed equations from the corresponding hierarchies are usually stu...
The demand for rapid online optical inspection of gear tooth surfaces is increasing, especially for precision gears. In this study, a non-contact optical measurement method was established for the inspection of gear tooth surfaces. For the system arc...
Bovine perinatal mortality due to infection may result either from the direct effects of intrauterine infection and/or the fetal response to such infection, leading to the fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS). Both intrauterine infection and F...
Tonsillectomy with steroid pulse therapy (SPT) has been established as an effective treatment for immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) in Japan. However, the underlying mechanisms supporting tonsillectomy remain unclear. This study assessed palatine t...
Variable tooth thickness gears have significant effects on the characteristics of the flow field inside the gearbox and the lubrication efficiency under high-speed operating conditions due to their complex parameters, such as tooth profile, cone angl...
The cashmere hair follicle (HF) perpetually goes through cycles of growth, involution and rest. The photoperiod is the main factor in the control of seasonal coat change in cashmere goats while stem cells play a crucial role in the HF growth. Several...
The effect of the cam profile on the nonlinear dynamics phenomenon of the follower is studied at three involutes’ profiles for the cam. The value of the Lyapunov exponent parameter is calculated at different internal distances of the follower g...
To accurately recognize plant diseases under complex natural conditions, an improved plant disease-recognition model based on the original YOLOv5 network model was established. First, a new InvolutionBottleneck module was used to reduce the numbers o...
Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the status of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) by means of the spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) overlying the myopic neovascular lesions in the involutive phase, looking f...
The mammary gland is a unique organ with the ability to undergo repeated cyclic changes throughout the life of mammals. Among domesticated livestock species, ruminants (cattle and buffalo) constitute a distinct class of livestock species that are kno...
In previous studies, the meshing force of a gear system is usually treated as being uniformly distributed for the convenience of analysis. In practical applications, however, it is nonuniformly distributed along the line of action due to machining er...
Asymmetric quantum codes are useful for quantum channels in which phase and bit errors occur with different probabilities, since the two distances,
Background/Objectives. Obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are pathologies that affect millions of people worldwide. They have no effective therapy and are difficult to prevent and control when they develop. It has been...
