Airway responsiveness: role of inflammation, epithelium damage and smooth muscle tension
(1999)THE purpose of this study was the effect of epithelium damage on mechanical responses of airway smooth muscles under different resting tension. We performed acetylcholine (ACh) (10(-5) M)-induced contraction on tracheal ... -
Association of repeat polymorphisms in the estrogen receptors alpha, beta (ESR1, ESR2) and androgen receptor (AR) genes with the occurrence of breast cancer
(2008)Genetic variation in genes involved in estrogen biosynthesis, metabolism and signal transduction have been suggested to play a role in breast cancer. To determine the possible contribution of genetic variation in the ESR1 ... -
Associations between claw lesions and reproductive performance of sows in three Greek herds
(2015)Claw lesions, which are nowadays very common in sows, are associated with a high risk of early culling and compromised welfare. In this study, we investigated the associations between the severity of claw lesions and three ... -
Effect of health disorders on the hazard of culling on the first or second lactation in Iranian dairy herds
(2013)We conducted a longitudinal retrospective study in order to assess the effect of health disorders (HDs) on culling in the 1st or 2nd lactation cows, in Iranian dairy herds. In total, 7067 first- and second-parity Holstein ... -
Life-history characteristics of the endangered Aristotle's catfish (Silurus aristotelis Garman, 1890), Lake Pamvotis, north-western Greece
(2009)P>The life history characteristics of Aristotle's catfish, Silurus aristotelis (Agassiz 1856) were studied in Lake Pamvotis (northwestern Greece). Samples were collected on a monthly basis using gillnets, trammel-nets and ... -
Muscle and Tendon Tissues: Constitutive Modeling and Computational Issues
(2011)A three-dimensional constitutive model for muscle and tendon tissues is developed. Muscle and tendon are considered as composite materials that consist of fibers and the connective tissues and biofluids surrounding the ... -
Real-time quantification of human telomerase reverse transcriptase mRNA in liver tissues from patients with hepatocellular cancer and chronic viral hepatitis
(2007)We determined, for the first time, the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) mRNA expression, using real-time quantitative PCR, in liver tissues from patients with hepatocellular cancer (HCC; n = 13), chronic ... -
Resting tension effect on airway smooth muscle: the involvement of epithelium
(2005)We studied the influence of resting tension (RT) on rabbit tracheal smooth muscle (TSM) contractions induced by acetylcholine or KCl as well as the role of epithelium and the endogenously produced nitric oxide, prostanoids ... -
Steroid hormones polymorphisms and cholelithiasis in Greek population
(2007)Background: Genetic variation in genes involved in steroid biosynthesis, metabolism and signal transduction have been suggested to play a role in gallstone disease. Methods: To elucidate the possible role of genetic variation ...
