DOI: 10.1002/dmrr.3635
Abstract: AIMS Endotoxemia commonly occurs in severe and fatal COVID-19 suggesting that concomitant bacterial stimuli may amplify the innate immune response induced by SARS-CoV-2. We previously demonstrated that endogenous GLP-1 system in conjunction with increased procalcitonin… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/smll.202206265
Abstract: Percutaneous implants may experience infection for several times during their servicing periods. They need antibacterial activity and durability to reduce recurrent infection and cytocompatibility to reconstruct biosealing. A novel photoresponse bio-heterojunction (PCT) is developed herein.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00066-017-1225-7
Abstract: BackgroundTo date, it remains unclear whether locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction (AEG) should be treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiation (nCRT), analogous to esophageal cancer, or with perioperative chemotherapy (pCT), analogous to gastric cancer. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11060-025-05302-8
Abstract: Circulating inflammatory indices derived from routine blood counts may offer pragmatic prognostic information in glioblastoma (GB), yet the prognostic role of plateletcrit (PCT) and of peri-treatment dynamics in leukocyte–platelet coupling remains underexplored. We retrospectively studied… read more here.
