Application value of 3T H-1-magnetic resonance spectroscopy in diagnosing breast tumors
(2013)Background: Assessment of breast lesions with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a means for lesion detection and diagnosis. Proton (hydrogen-1) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-1-MRS) has been proposed as a useful ... -
Association of Syndecan-1 with Angiogenesis-related Markers, Extracellular Matrix Components, and Clinicopathological Features in Colorectal Carcinoma
(2012)Syndecan-1 is a transmembrane heparansulfate proteoglycan, which regulates cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, cell-to-cell and cell-to-extracellular matrix adhesion and may influence malignant cell behavior. We ... -
Bioinformatic and immunological analysis reveals lack of support for measles virus related mimicry in Crohn's disease
(2014)Background: A link between measles virus and Crohn's disease (CD) has been postulated. We assessed through bioinformatic and immunological approaches whether measles is implicated in CD induction, through molecular mimicry. ... -
The contribution of diffusion tensor imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy for the differentiation of breast lesions at 3T
(2014)Background: Conventional breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including dynamic contrast-enhanced MR mammography (DCE-MRM), may lead to ambiguous diagnosis and unnecessary biopsies. Purpose: To investigate the contribution ... -
Genome-Wide Transcriptomic Analysis of Intestinal Tissue to Assess the Impact of Nutrition and a Secondary Nematode Challenge in Lactating Rats
(2011)Background: Gastrointestinal nematode infection is a major challenge to the health and welfare of mammals. Although mammals eventually acquire immunity to nematodes, this breaks down around parturition, which renders ... -
Immunohistochemical expression of extracellular matrix components tenascin, fibronectin, collagen type IV and laminin in breast cancer: their prognostic value and role in tumour invasion and progression
(2002)The immunohistochemical expression of the extracellular matrix (ECM) components tenascin (TN), fibronectin (FN), collagen type IV (Coll) and laminin (LN), and their possible relationships were studied in a series of 134 ... -
Interleukin-6 and the matrix metalloproteinase response in the vitreous during proliferative vitreoretinopathy
(2011)Purpose: To investigate the levels of IL-6 in the vitreous of patients with RRD complicated with PVR and correlate the IL-6 levels with matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1,-2,-3,-8,-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases ... -
Matrix Metalloproteinases in Respiratory Diseases: From Pathogenesis to Potential Clinical Implications
(2009)Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-endopeptidases responsible for degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) components including basement membrane collagen, interstitial collagen, fibronectin, and various ... -
Molecular and phylogenetic analysis of the HPV 16 E4 gene in cervical lesions from women in Greece
(2012)The HPV16 E1(a )E4 protein is thought to contribute to the release of newly formed viral particles from infected epithelia. In order to investigate amino acid mutations in the HPV16 E1(a )E4 protein, the complete E4 ORF ... -
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in inflammatory bowel disease: association with pathophysiology of inflammation, established markers, and disease activity
(2012)Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a multi-potent 25-kDa protein mainly secreted by neutrophils. In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), overexpression of NGAL in colon epithelium has been previously shown. ... -
Resting tension affects eNOS activity in a calcium- dependent way in airways
(2007)The alteration of resting tension (RT) from 0.5 g to 2.5 g increased significantly airway smooth muscle contractions induced by acetylcholine (ACh) in rabbit trachea. The decrease in extracellular calcium concentration ... -
Role of Electrolytes and Glucose in the Insulin-Induced Electrochemical Effect in Sheep Pleura
(2010)Aim: Insulin induces electrochemical alterations in sheep visceral and parietal pleura, an effect abolished by the Na(+)-channel blocker amiloride and the Na(+)-K(+) pump inhibitor ouabain. The aim of this study was to ... -
Serum osteoprotegerin is markedly increased and may contribute to decreased blood T cell count in hemodialysis patients
(2013)Acquired immunity is impaired in hemodialysis (HD) patients, and decreased T cell number may contribute. Receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) are expressed in cells of the ... -
Stable expression of a neuronal dopaminergic progenitor phenotype in cell lines derived from human amniotic fluid cells
(2006)Cells from human amniotic fluid derived from the fetus are considered a source of multipotent cells. Their properties have not been fully exploited, partially because unlike other embryonic sources such as embryonic stem ... -
Steroidal Cardiac Na+/K (+) ATPase Inhibitors Exhibit Strong Anti-Cancer Potential in vitro and in Prostate and Lung Cancer Xenografts in vivo
(2014)Sodium potassium pump (Na+/K+ ATPase) is a validated pharmacological target for the treatment of congestive heart failure. Recent data with inotropic drugs such as digoxin & digitoxin (digitalis) suggest a potent anti-cancer ...
