Association of a BMP5 microsatellite with knee osteoarthritis: case-control study
(2012)Introduction: We aimed to explore the involvement of a multiallelic functional polymorphism in knee osteoarthritis (OA) susceptibility as a prototype of possible genetic factors escaping GWAS detection. Methods: OA patients ... -
Bubble dynamics during degassing of liquids at microgravity conditions
(2006)This work investigates the growth of bubbles generated in a liquid saturated with dissolved CO(2) when its temperature is rapidly and locally raised above the saturation value, still below the boiling point of the test ... -
Combined use of chondroitinase-ABC, TGF-beta 1, and collagen crosslinldng agent lysyl oxidase to engineer functional neotissues for fibiocartilage repair
(2014)Patients suffering from damaged or diseased fibrocartilages currently have no effective long-term treatment options. Despite their potential, engineered tissues suffer from inferior biomechanical integrity and an inability ... -
Comparison of the phospholipid and triacylglycerol fatty acid profile of rat serum, skeletal muscle and heart
(2006)Although several studies have analyzed the fatty acid profile of phospholipids (PL) and, to a lesser degree, triacylglycerols (TG) in one or more tissues concurrently, a systematic comparison of the fatty acid composition ... -
Dosimetric and radiobiological evaluation of dose distribution perturbation due to head heterogeneities for Linac and Gamma Knife stereotactic radiotherapy
(2008)Introduction. In SRT/SRS, dedicated treatment planning systems are used for the calculation of the dose distribution. The majority of these systems utilize the standard TMR/OAR formalism for dose calculation as well as ... -
Effect of plasmin, plasminogen activators and a plasmin inhibitor on bovine in vitro embryo production
(2008)In the present study, four experiments were conducted to investigate the possible effects of plasminogen activators (urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA)), plasmin, and ... -
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for pharmacological studies targeting hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha
(2005)Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) activates the transcription of a wide range of genes related to oxygen delivery and metabolic adaptation under hypoxic (low-oxygen) conditions. HIF-1 is, in fact, a heterodimer of two ... -
FDG-PET for detecting local tumor recurrence of ablated liver metastases: a diagnostic meta-analysis
(2012)Context: Scanty reports have focused on FDG-PET after radiofrequency ablation (RFA), for recurrence of hepatic metastases. Objective: To assess FDG-PET diagnostic accuracy on detection of recurrent hepatic lesions. Methods: ... -
High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) in parotid lesions
(2007)Although several studies have reported that oropharyngeal infection with HPV may predispose to tumorigenesis, little is known about the etiological factors of salivary gland tumors and the presence of HPV. We studied 9 ... -
Importance of high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of serum N-acylneuraminic acids in evaluating surgical treatment in patients with early endometrial cancer
(1999)The objectives of this study were the quantification of the two major sialic acid (Sia) forms - N-acetylneuraminic (Neu5Ac) and N-glycolylneuraminic acids (Neu5Gc) - in serum before and after surgical treatment of early ... -
Inverted BMI rather than BMI is a better proxy for percentage of body fat
(2011)Background: Percentage of body fat (BF%) is a known risk factor for a range of healthcare problems but is difficult to measure. An easy to measure proxy is the weight/height(2) ratio known as the Body Mass Index (BMI ... -
Involvement of the plasminogen activation system in cow endometritis
(2004)The objectives of this study were to investigate the: (a) presence and activity of components of the "plasminogen activators/plasmin" system in dairy cows with or without endometritis; (b) variations in enzyme activity ... -
Oxidative stress in Cyprinus carpio to analyze microcystin impact in eutrophic shallow lakes: a preliminary study
(2012)Microcystins (MCYSTs) are toxins produced by cyanobacteria in aquatic environment and are of high potential risk to aquatic organisms. The physiological responses and pathobiological developments that they elicit in fish ... -
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 ... -
Resistin serum levels are increased but not correlated with insulin resistance in chronic hemodialysis patients
(2005)Background/Aims: Insulin resistance is a well-known phenomenon in uremia. Resistin, a recently discovered insulin inhibitor secreted by adipocytes, is associated with obesity and insulin resistance in mice. Adiponectin, ... -
Role of Hyperglycemia in Isogeneic Islet Transplantation: An Experimental Animal Study
(2008)Objective: Study the role of hyperglycemia-induced beta cell loss on grafted islet destruction. Design: Male inbred rats were made diabetic by streptozotocin administration and used as islet donors and/or isograft recipients ... -
Self-similar growth of a gas bubble induced by localized heating: the effect of temperature-dependent transport properties
(2005)A gas bubble growing in a saturated liquid under the action of an internal heat source is studied theoretically as a model problem for the growth of a bubble around a miniature spherical heater submerged in the liquid. In ... -
Tc-99m-Sestamibi Uptake in Rat Skeletal Muscle and Heart: Physiological Determinants and Correlations
(2009)The lipophilic cationic radiotracer Tc-99m-sestamibi, known to be concentrated within mitochondria, is widely used for myocardial perfusion and to a lesser extent for muscle metabolism imaging. However, the exact distribution ... -
Tracheal Replacement With Cryopreserved Allogenic Aorta
(2010)Background: Radical resection of primary tracheal tumors may be challenging when more than one-half of the tracheal length is concerned. The present study evaluated the use of cryopreserved aortic allografts (CAAs) to ... -
