Sepsis-related mortality has been found increased in RAG-1 knockout mice. However, in
patients admitted to medical intensive care units, it is unknown whether severe lymphocyte …

Aims The mammalian soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) has both an epoxide hydrolase and
a phosphatase domain. The role of sEH hydrolase activity in the metabolism of …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a devastating disease, which is associated
with increasing mortality and morbidity. Therefore, there is a need to clearly define the …

We investigated whether AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a multifunctional regulator
of energy homeostasis, is involved in transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1)-…

Aims Valsartan, a selective angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT 1 R) blocker, has beneficial
effects in the cardiovascular system in part by its increase of nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, yet …

Because of the expansion of aging and smoking populations, chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) is predicted to be the third leading cause of death worldwide in 2030. …

Background Aberrant fucosylation plays a critical role in lung cancer progression. Nevertheless,
the key fucosyltransferase with prognostic significance in lung cancer patients, the …

We investigated whether AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK), a multi‐functional regulator
of energy homeostasis, participates in the regulation of erythropoietin (EPO)‐mediated …

We investigated the effects of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on lung fibroblasts and found that
the invasiveness of lung cancer cells was facilitated by the conditioned medium from CSE‐…

Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) has C-terminal epoxide hydrolase and N-terminal lipid
phosphatase activity. Its hydrolase activity is associated with endothelial nitric oxide synthase (…
