Angiogenic interactions of vascular endothelial growth factor, of thymidine phosphorylase, and of p53 protein expression in locally advanced gastric cancer
(2000)The assessment of the angiogenic profile of tumors may become an important tool as a guide for the inclusion of novel drugs and molecular therapies into the standard chemoradiotherapy policy. Several studies have shown the ... -
The angiogenic pathway 'vascular endothelial growth factor/flk-I (KDR)-receptor' in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
(2001)Active angiogenesis, together with an up-regulation of angiogenic factors, is evident in the synovium of both rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). The present study assessed, by immunohistochemistry, the ... -
Cancer vascularization: Implications in radiotherapy?
(2000)Purpose: Although hypoxia is considered a major cause of failure of radiotherapy, the mechanisms of tumor hypoxia are unclear, and effective ways for its correction or targeting are missing. Tumoral vasculature is the ... -
CUZD1 and Anti-CUZD1 Antibodies as Markers of Cancer and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
(2013)CUZD1, the CUB, and zona pellucida-like domains-containing protein 1, is a newly identified antigen of pancreatic autoantibodies (PAB) giving a reticulogranular pattern in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, and in ... -
Evaluation of dose-response models and parameters predicting radiation induced pneumonitis using clinical data from breast cancer radiotherapy
(2005)The purpose of this work is to evaluate the predictive strength of the relative seriality, parallel and LKB normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models regarding the incidence of radiation pneumonitis, in a large ... -
Foxp3 expression in human cancer cells
(2008)Objective: Transcription factor forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3) specifically characterizes the thymically derived naturally occurring regulatory T cells (Tregs). Limited evidence indicates that it is also expressed, albeit ... -
IGF-1 alters the human parietal pleural electrochemical profile by inhibiting ion trans-cellular transportation after interaction with its receptor
(2013)Objective: The effect of IGF-1 in the human pleural permeability and the underlying mechanisms involved were investigated. Design: Specimens from thoracic surgical patients were mounted in Ussing chambers. Solutions ... -
Immunoepigenetics: the unseen side of cancer immunoediting
(2007)Cancer immunosurveillance representing, till recently, the explanatory framework relating cancer and the immune system, does not convincingly explain tumor escape. At the beginning of the decade, a new theory emerged, ... -
Naturally occurring tumor-specific CD8(+) T-cell precursors in individuals with and without cancer
(2010)Boosting pre-existing, naturally occurring cytolytic CD8(+) T-cell (CTLs) responses directed against class-I MHC-restricted peptides of tumor antigens, represents a primary goal of cancer immunotherapy. The number of ... -
Online resources for miRNA analysis
(2013)Objective: This review aims to provide a brief introduction to each major category of available tools and algorithms for microRNA (miRNA) research, as well as to present some of the most widely used or promising representative ... -
Pattern of Smoking Habit among Greek Blue and White Collar Workers
(2009)The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of smoking in a Greek working population. A questionnaire regarding smoking habit was collected from 1,005 out of 1,200 blue and white-collar employees (response rate: ... -
Respiratory tract mortality in cement workers: a proportionate mortality study
(2012)Background: The evidence regarding the association between lung cancer and occupational exposure to cement is controversial. This study investigated causes of deaths from cancer of respiratory tract among cement workers. ... -
The role of leptin in the respiratory system: an overview
(2010)Since its cloning in 1994, leptin has emerged in the literature as a pleiotropic hormone whose actions extend from immune system homeostasis to reproduction and angiogenesis. Recent investigations have identified the lung ... -
Tumor immune escape mediated by indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase
(2007)Amongst the numerous mediators contributing towards the escape Of tumors from the host's immune response against them, the enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (lDO) has recently attracted special attention. By catabolizing ...
