Alpha-1 antichymotrypsin gene signal peptide A/T polymorphism and primary intracerebral hemorrhage
(2008)Background/Aims: Alpha-1 antichymotrypsin (ACT), a serine proteinase inhibitor, has been implicated in vascular pathology. The TT genotype of the ACT signal peptide A/T polymorphism has been reported to confer susceptibility ... -
Amelioration of cardiovascular risk factors with partial biochemical control of acromegaly
(2008)Objective Complete remission of acromegaly is associated with favourable changes in cardiovascular risk parameters. We evaluated the effects of suboptimal therapy on haemodynamic, metabolic, inflammatory and coagulation ... -
Analysis of seawater microbiological quality data in Greece from 1997 to 2006: association of risk factors with bacterial indicators
(2009)This study deals with the examination of quality of seawater bathing areas in Greece over a 10-year period and identifies risk factors for high bacteria indicator organism concentrations. Qualitative descriptive analysis ... -
Angiogenesis and apoptosis-related protein (p53, bcl-2, and bax) expression versus response of gastric adenocarcinomas to paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy
(2001)The role of angiogenesis and apoptosis-related proteins in defining response to chemotherapy is poorly understood. We examined the microvessel density (MVD) and the expression of p53, bcl-2, and bax proteins in a series ... -
Are citrus species favorable hosts for the Mediterranean fruit fly? A demographic perspective
(2009)We studied, under laboratory conditions, demographic parameters of adult Mediterranean fruit flies, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) (medfly), obtained from three sweet orange varieties, lemon, and ... -
Baseline Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Plasma Levels, Systemic Inflammation, Weight Loss and Clinical Outcome in Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients
(2011)Background: Cancer patients frequently suffer from weight loss and systemic inflammation in the context of advanced disease, which is related to adverse outcome. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I is an anabolic molecule ... -
bcl-2 and c-erbB-2 proteins are involved in the regulation of VEGF and of thymidine phosphorylase angiogenic activity in non-small-cell lung cancer
(1999)Tumour angiogenesis has been recently recognised as one of the most important prognostic factors in lung cancer. Although a variety of angiogenic factors have been identified, the angiogenesis process remains poorly ... -
Behavior of Escherichia coli O157 : H7 during the manufacture and ripening of feta and telemes cheeses
(2002)Pasteurized whole ewe's and cow's milk was used in the manufacture of Feta end Telemes cheeses, respectively, according to standard procedures. In both cases, the milk had been inoculated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 at ... -
Coexpression of MUC1 glycoprotein with multiple angiogenic factors in non-small cell lung cancer suggests coactivation of angiogenic and migration pathways
(2000)We investigated the expression of MUC1 protein and its relationship to the microvessel density and the expression of thymidine phosphorylase, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGF-receptor KDR, basic fibroblast ... -
Conservation Considerations for a Management Measure: An Integrated Approach to Hare Rearing and Release
(2015)Wildlife managers are challenged with the task of deciding whether a management measure is appropriate or not, and furthermore they have to convince others about the merits of their decision. Population decline of some ... -
Determinants of hazard confronting new entry: Does financial structure matter?
(2000)This paper attempts to identify the determinants of hazard confronting 219 new manufacturing firms established in 1982-84 and followed up to 1992 using a Cox regression model. Three sets of variables are combined in the ... -
Early results of a novel technique using multiple small tantalum pegs for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head A CASE SERIES INVOLVING 26 HIPS
(2012)The introduction of a trabecular tantalum rod has been proposed for the management of early-stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head but serves as a single-point of support of the necrotic lesion. We describe a technique ... -
Effect of dietary incorporation of a multi-strain probiotic on growth performance and health status in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(2015)Dietary supplementation with a multi-strain probiotic containing Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecium, Pediococcus acidilactici and Lactobacillus reuteri has been examined for its effects on growth performance, intestinal ... -
Endometrial carcinoma: association of steroid hormone receptor expression with low angiogenesis and bcl-2 expression
(2001)In endometrial tissues, malignant change may be accompanied by a loss of hormone dependence which is, usually, reflected in a parallel loss of oestrogen and progesterone receptors (ER and PR). In this study, the steroid ... -
Endothelial Progenitor Cells in the Pathogenesis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: An Evolving Concept
(2013)Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has been associated with abnormal vascular remodeling. Bone marrow derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are considered to possess lung tissue repair and vascular ... -
Establishing the resistance of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) by molecular methods
(2008)In two years of investigating resistance of the peach-potato aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) by molecular methods, several types of resistance were established in the majority of individuals from peach and tobacco in Serbia ... -
