Thymidine phosphorylase expression in normal and hyperplastic endometrium

Sivridis, E.; Giatromanolaki, A.; Koukourakis I, M.; Bicknell, R.; Harris, A. L.; Gatter, K. C. (2000)

Aims - To investigate the expression of thymidine phosphorylase (TP), a known angiogenic factor for endothelial cells, in normally cycling endometrium and various forms of endometrial hyperplasia. Methods - TP expression ...

Transferrin receptor-1 and 2 expression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Smilevska, T.; Stamatopoulos, K.; Samara, M.; Belessi, C.; Tsompanakou, A.; Paterakis, G.; Stavroyianni, N.; Athanasiadou, I.; Chiotoglou, I.; Hadzidimitriou, A.; Athanasiadou, A.; Douka, V.; Saloum, R.; Laoutaris, N.; Anagnostopoulos, A.; Fassas, A.; Stathakis, N.; Kollia, P. (2006)

Transferrin receptor (TfR)-1 and 2 mRNA and CD71 (TfR1) expression was analyzed in 118 CLL patients. Ninety-five out of 109 analyzed cases expressed CD71, mostly at a high level; 60% of CD71 (+) cases were IGH-mutated. All ...

Serum laminin and collagen IV in inflammatory bowel disease

Koutroubakis, I. E.; Petinaki, E.; Dimoulios, P.; Vardas, E.; Roussomoustakaki, M.; Maniatis, A. N.; Kouroumalis, E. A. (2003)

Background/Aims: Laminin and collagen IV have been proposed as extracellular matrix serum markers. Because fibrosis is a major complication of inflammatory bowel disease, serum concentrations of laminin and collagen IV ...

Ocular disease awareness and pattern of ocular manifestation in patients with biopsy-proven lung sarcoidosis

Pefkianaki, M.; Androudi, S.; Praidou, A.; Sourlas, V.; Zakynthinos, E.; Brazitikos, P.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Daniil, Z. (2011)

Purpose: The aim of this research is to study the patterns of ocular involvement in patients with biopsy-proven lung sarcoidosis and estimate the level of patients' awareness of possible ocular complications of sarcoidosis. ...

Loss of heterozygosity in DNA mismatch repair genes in human atherosclerotic plaques

Flouris, G. A.; Arvanitis, D. A.; Parissis, J. T.; Arvanitis, D. L.; Spandidos, D. A. (2001)

To detect the incidence of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in DNA mismatch repair genes (MMR) occurring in atherosclerosis, fifty human autopsy cases of atherosclerosis were examined for LOH using 19 microsatellite markers, ...

Mycophenolate for the treatment of autoimmune hepatitis: Prospective assessment of its efficacy and safety for induction and maintenance of remission in a large cohort of treatment-naïve patients

Zachou, K.; Gatselis, N.; Papadamou, G.; Rigopoulou, E. I.; Dalekos, G. N. (2011)

Background & Aims: Standard therapy for autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is corticosteroids with or without azathioprine. However, 20% of patients do not respond or are intolerant to conventional treatment. Therefore, we evaluated ...

Nuclear localization of cytokeratin 8 and the O-linked N -acetylglucosamine-containing Epitope H in epithelial cells of infiltrating ductal breast carcinomas: A combination of immunogold and EDTA regressive staining methods

Havaki, S.; Voloudakis-Baltatzis, I.; Goutas, N.; Arvanitis, L. D.; Vassilaros, S. D.; Arvanitis, D. L.; Kittas, C.; Marinos, E. (2006)

In a previous study, the authors have shown cytokeratin 8 (CK8) and epitope H ultrastructural localization in breast cancer cell nuclei. Epitope H contains an O-linked N -acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) residue in a specific ...
