Acute phase markers for the differentiation of infectious and malignant pleural effusions
(2007)
Acute-phase markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), have been studied in inflammatory and malignant disorders. We examined the diagnostic value of these ...
Identification of MAPK phosphorylation sites and their role in the localization and activity of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α
(2006)
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) controls the expression of most genes induced by hypoxic conditions. Regulation of expression and activity of its inducible subunit, HIF-1α, involves several post-translational modifications. ...

Melanoma: The Radiotherapeutic point of view; review of the current literature
(2011)
Surgery remains the mainstay of melanoma therapy at all sites. Melanoma is widely believed to be a radioresistant tumor, a misconception that has historically led to the limited use of RT for its treatment. We searched ...
Technical evaluation of in vivo abdominal fat and IMCL quantification using MRI and MRSI at 3 T
(2008)
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to develop protocols that measure abdominal fat and calf muscle lipids with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), respectively, at 3 T and ...
Uterine perforation as a rare complication of attempted pregnancy termination with misoprostol: A case report
(2006)
BACKGROUND: Abortion induced by drugs is now a viable alternative to surgically induced abortion, but it can cause severe complications. CASE: Products of conception were found in the peritoneal cavity after administration ...
Survivorship of monoblock trabecular metal cups in primary THA: Midterm results
(2008)
Monoblock trabecular metal cups are made of a novel porous material intended to enhance ingrowth and improve fixation. We prospectively followed 223 consecutive patients with 245 trabecular metal acetabular cups implanted ...

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1B1: Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel mitochondrial acetaldehyde-metabolizing enzyme
(2010)
Ethanol-induced damage is largely attributed to its toxic metabolite, acetaldehyde. Clearance of acetaldehyde is achieved by its oxidation, primarily catalyzed by the mitochondrial class II aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2). ...
