Rapid effect of progesterone on transepithelial resistance of human fetal membranes: Evidence for non-genomic action
(2008)
1. The factors that regulate human fetal membrane transport mechanisms are unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of progesterone on transepithelial electrical resistance (R-TE) in the human ...
The DJ-1 protein as a candidate biomarker in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
(2014)
Oxidative stress has a central role in the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The DJ-1 protein functions as a sensor of oxidative stress, acting both as a reactive oxygen species scavenger (ROS) ...
Cytokine levels in the sera of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(2006)
Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fibroprotiferative disorder. Cytokines contribute an important but yet undefined role to its pathogenesis. Objectives: The present study aims to compare serum levels of ...
hMSH2 and hMLH1 gene expression patterns differ between lung adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma: correlation with patient survival and response to adjuvant chemotherapy treatment
(2012)
Background: We recently showed that the mRNA levels of mismatch repair (MMR) proteins in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) tissue specimens and the phenotypic translation of molecular MMR data refines the biology of ...
Effect of amiloride in human and sheep parietal pleura
(2002)
The fluid and solute transport properties of human parietal pleura were studied and compared with sheep parietal pleura in vitro. The pleura was mounted as a planar sheet between Ussing-type chambers. The results presented ...
Phenotypic mismatch repair hMSH2 and hMLH1 gene expression profiles in primary non-small cell lung carcinomas
(2009)
Background: Defects in the human DNA mismatch repair genes (MMR) hMSH2 and hMLH1 arc responsible for the development of sporadic and hereditary colorectal cancers. The role of MMR genes in the pathogenesis of lung cancer ...
Physiology of pericardial fluid production and drainage
(2015)
The pericardium is one of the serosal cavities of the mammals. It consists of two anatomical structures closely connected, an external sac of fibrous connective tissue, that is called fibrous pericardium and an internal ...
Helicobacter pylori infection and respiratory diseases: A review
(2003)
In the past few years, a variety of extradigestive disorders, including cardiovascular, skin, rheumatic and liver diseases, have been associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. The activation of inflammatory ...
