Association of α-synuclein Rep1 polymorphism and Parkinson's disease: Influence of Rep1 on age at onset
(2006)
The α-synuclein Rep1 polymorphism was studied in patients and controls in an ethnic Greek population. There was an association of allele 2 with risk of Parkinson's disease (PD; adjusted odd ratio = 3.25; 95% CI = 1.80-5.87). ...
MR imaging findings in early osteoarthritis of the knee
(2004)
Purpose: To carry out a modern diagnostic survey among patients with a clinical and radiological diagnosis of early osteoarthritis of the knee. Materials and methods:A magnetic resonance imaging survey was performed on 70 ...
Discrimination of exudative pleural effusions based on multiple biological parameters
(2007)
Pleural effusion is a common complication of various diseases. Conventional methods are not always capable of establishing the cause of pleural effusion, so alternative tests are needed. The aim of this study was to explore ...
Baseline levels of CD8+ T cells against survivin and survivin-2B in the blood of lung cancer patients and cancer-free individuals
(2008)
Survivin and its variant survivin-2B have been considered as potential candidates for cancer immunotherapy. The magnitude however of spontaneously occurring CD8+ T cells circulating precursor CTLs (pCTL), has never been ...
Minimally invasive and selective hydrodynamic gene therapy of liver segments in the pig and human
(2008)
This paper highlights our experience of the transfer of hydrodynamic gene therapy (HGT) from the large animal, the pig, into clinical practice. The modification of balloon catheters and the development of a minimally ...
Lack of replication of thirteen single-nucleotide polymorphisms implicated in Parkinson's disease: a large-scale international study
(2006)
Background: A genome-wide association study identified 13 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with Parkinson's disease. Small-scale replication studies were largely non-confirmatory, but a ...
Effects of endothelin-1 on KCl-induced contractions of airway smooth muscles
(2000)
The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) on KCl-induced contractions. Tracheal strips were obtained from 12 male rabbits, perfused with Krebs solution and aerated continuously by ...
