Assessing the Quality of Reporting of Observational Studies in Cancer
(2010)PURPOSE: The vast majority of epidemiological studies in cancer are observational. However, inadequate reporting of the published observational studies (OS) may restrict the generalizability and credibility of study results. ... -
Association between the GLUT1 gene polymorphism and the risk of diabetic nephropathy: a meta-analysis
(2005)The association between diabetic nephropathy (DN) and the XbaI polymorphism in the GLUT1 gene has been investigated in several case-control studies. These studies rendered contradictory results: the allele XbalphaI(-) was ... -
Clinical significance of serum adipokines levels in lung cancer
(2013)Adipokines have a significant effect on metabolism, immunoinflammatory responses as well as on carcinogenesis; therefore, we aimed at evaluating their potential predictive and prognostic significance in lung cancer. Eighty ... -
Expression patterns of endothelin-1 and its receptors in colorectal cancer
(2012)Background and Objectives Endothelin-1 (ET-1), a potent vasoconstricting peptide, plays an important role in carcinogenesis. Previous in vitro studies have shown that colorectal cancer cells produce ET-1. Methods: ET-1 and ... -
Identification of a STAT5 Target Gene, Dpf3, Provides Novel Insights in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
(2013)STAT5 controls essential cellular functions and is encoded by two genes, Stat5a and Stat5b. To provide insight to the mechanisms linking hematologic malignancy to STAT5 activation/regulation of target genes, we identified ... -
IGF-1 alters the human parietal pleural electrochemical profile by inhibiting ion trans-cellular transportation after interaction with its receptor
(2013)Objective: The effect of IGF-1 in the human pleural permeability and the underlying mechanisms involved were investigated. Design: Specimens from thoracic surgical patients were mounted in Ussing chambers. Solutions ... -
Meta-analysis of haplotype-association studies: comparison of methods and empirical evaluation of the literature
(2011)Background: Meta-analysis is a popular methodology in several fields of medical research, including genetic association studies. However, the methods used for meta-analysis of association studies that report haplotypes ... -
Pomegranate juice consumption increases GSH levels and reduces lipid and protein oxidation in human blood
(2014)The aim of the present study was the assessment of the antioxidant effects of pomegranate juice (PJ) consumption in humans. Thus, 14 healthy volunteers consumed PJ daily for a period of 15 days and the changes of oxidative ... -
Use of Fibrates and Cancer Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 17 Long-Term Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trials
(2012)Background: Fibrates comprise a class of well-established antilipidemic agents that significantly reduce cardiovascular events. Given the concerns of cancer with fibrate therapy, we undertook a systematic review and ... -
Validated analysis of HIF-1 alpha expression in cancer cells using a controlled and comparative immunoassay
(2010)The immunoreactivity of hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) has been considered a reliable indicator of the HIF-1 pathway activation in tissue hypoxia. However, HIF-1 alpha immunoreactivity has been evaluated ...
