Arthroscopic meniscal repair: a comparative study between three different surgical techniques
(2006)The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate and compare the results of arthroscopic meniscal repair using three different techniques. Between January 2002 and March 2004, 57 patients who met the inclusion criteria ... -
Effect of Contact Line Dynamics on the Thermocapillary Motion of a Droplet on an Inclined Plate
(2013)We study the two-dimensional dynamics of a droplet on an inclined, nonisothermal solid substrate. We use lubrication theory to obtain a single evolution equation for the interface, which accounts for gravity, capillarity, ... -
Elimination of Ras Suppressor-1 from Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells Hinders their In Vitro Metastatic Properties
(2015)Background/Aim: Extracellular matrix (ECM) is of great significance for homeostasis in the liver. In fact, one of the stags leading to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) includes accumulation of excess ECM. Ras Suppressor-1 ... -
Experimental evidence of Migfilin as a new therapeutic target of hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis
(2015)Migfilin is a novel cell-matrix adhesion protein known to interact with Vasodilator Stimulated Phosphoprotein (VASP) and be localized both at cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesions. To date there is nothing known about its ... -
Immunohistochemical expression of extracellular matrix components tenascin, fibronectin, collagen type IV and laminin in breast cancer: their prognostic value and role in tumour invasion and progression
(2002)The immunohistochemical expression of the extracellular matrix (ECM) components tenascin (TN), fibronectin (FN), collagen type IV (Coll) and laminin (LN), and their possible relationships were studied in a series of 134 ... -
Implications of pleiotrophin in human PC3 prostate cancer cell growth in vivo
(2012)Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a heparin-binding growth factor with diverse functions related to tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Pleiotrophin seems to have a significant role in prostate cancer cell growth and to mediate ... -
Interleukin-6 and matrix metalloproteinase expression in the subretinal fluid during proliferative vitreoretinopathy: Correlation with extent, duration of RRD and PVR grade
(2012)Purpose: To investigate interleukin (IL)-6 protein levels in the subretinal fluid (SRF) of patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR); to correlate the IL-6 ... -
Multicentre use of a porous tantalum monoblock acetabular component
(2009)The purpose of this study was to evaluate the minimum five-year prospective results from the multicentre use of a porous tantalum monoblock acetabular component for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). A multicentre study ... -
Non-isothermal bubble rise: non-monotonic dependence of surface tension on temperature
(2015)We study the motion of a bubble driven by buoyancy and thermocapillarity in a tube with a non-uniformly heated walls, containing a so-called 'self-rewetting fluid'; the surface tension of the latter exhibits a parabolic ... -
Peripherality and integration: industrial growth and decline in the Greek regions
(2012)Peripheral European economies are often characterized by unfavorable structural regularities and geographical coordinates, making the process of economic integration an experience possibly associated with welfare losses ... -
Ras suppressor-1 promotes apoptosis in breast cancer cells by inhibiting PINCH-1 and activating p53-upregulated-modulator of apoptosis (PUMA); verification from metastatic breast cancer human samples
(2015)Metastasis, responsible for most deaths from breast cancer (BC), is a multistep process leading to cancer cell spread. Extracellular matrix (ECM)-related adhesion and apoptosis resistance play pivotal role in metastasis. ... -
Serum acute phase proteins in dogs with symptomatic esophageal spirocercosis
(2012)Canine spirocercosis (CS) is a helminthic infection caused by the nematode Spirocerca lupi. The clinical hallmark of the disease is esophageal dysphagia due to parasite-induced esophageal nodules. Currently, there is limited ... -
Thermocapillary-Driven Motion of a Sessile Drop: Effect of Non-Monotonic Dependence of Surface Tension on Temperature
(2014)We study the thermocapillary-driven spreading of a droplet on a nonuniformly heated substrate for fluids associated with a non-monotonic dependence of the surface tension on temperature. We use lubrication theory to derive ... -
Trans-border mobility and integration in border regions: Albanian migrants in Epirus and the Ionian Islands in Greece
(2011)The emergence of a new economic and political system in post-socialist Albania strongly affected the neighbouring regions of Greece, particularly by successive waves of migration. This paper explores three key aspects of ... -
Transport and deposition of neutral particles in magnetohydrodynamic turbulent channel flows at low magnetic Reynolds numbers
(2011)The effect of Lorentz force on particle transport and deposition is studied by using direct numerical simulation of turbulent channel flow of electrically conducting fluids combined with discrete particle simulation of the ...
