Cytogenetic analysis of posterior uveal melanoma
(Elsevier, 1993-03)
Cytogenetic analysis was performed on short-term cultures of primary tumor samples from seven patients with posterior uveal melanoma. Informative data were obtained from four patients, all of whom had a near-diploid ...
Prognostic Significance of DNA Content and Nuclear Morphology in Borderline Ovarian Tumors
(Elsevier, 1993-02)
We used the technique of image analysis to simultaneously measure DNA content and nuclear morphology of 21 borderline ovarian tumors. Aneuploidy was identified in 9 of 21 tumors and was unrelated to tumor stage or nuclear ...
Kupffer cell–derived cytokines induce the synthesis of a leukocyte chemotactic peptide, interleukin-8, in human hepatoma and primary hepatocyte cultures
(W.B. SaundersWiley Periodiocals, Inc., 1991-12)
Communication circuits operating between activated monocytes/macrophages and adjacent hepatocytes in the liver effect important alterations in hepatocyte function. We demonstrate here that primary human hepatocytes and ...
Transforming growth factor-[beta]1 regulates steady-state PTH/PTHrP receptor mRNA levels and PTHrP binding in ROS 17/2.8 osteosarcoma cells
(Elsevier, 1994-05)
The effect of transforming growth factor [beta]1 (TGF-[beta]1) on the expression of mRNA for the parathyroid hormone receptor and binding of iodinated parathyroid hormone-related protein in ROS 17/2.8 osteosarcoma cells ...
Effect of dietary vitamin A or N-acetylcysteine on ethylnitrosourea-induced rat gliomas
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-10)
It is our hypothesis that low grade gliomas are the glial counterparts of other precancerous lesions such as colon polyps and, therefore, suitable targets for chemoprevention. Steps in the molecular progression of gliomas ...
A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of prostaglandin E 1 in liver transplantation
(W.B. SaundersWiley Periodiocals, Inc., 1995-02)
A double-blind placebo-controlled trial of intravenous prostaglandin PGE 1 (40 Μg/h) was conducted in adult orthotopic liver transplant recipients. Infusion was started intraoperatively and continued for up to 21 days. ...
Renal tubular dysgenesis in twins
(Springer-Verlag; IPNA - International Pediatric Nephrology Association New York, USA, 1998-06)
In a fetal autopsy series, we have explored the occurrence of renal tubular dysgenesis in twins. Renal tubular dysgenesis was found exclusively among those monozygotic twins with evidence of twin transfusion syndrome, ...
Immunologic Detection of the Cellular Receptor for Urokinase Plasminogen Activator
(Elsevier, 1994-04)
The cellular receptor for urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA-R) is a monomeric phosphatidylinositol-linked glycoprotein (gp40-65) that may contribute to the invasive capacity of tumor and inflammatory cells by focusing ...
Quantitative morphometry of renal biopsies prior to cyclosporine in nephrotic syndrome
(Springer-Verlag; IPNA - International Pediatric Nephrology Association New York, USA, 1998-11)
Use of cyclosporine (CsA) in the management of children with steroid-resistant (SRNS) and steroid-dependent (SDNS) nephrotic syndrome has become increasingly popular in recent years. Although most children receive a renal ...
Biochemical and histopathological correlation in liver transplant: The first 180 days
(W.B. SaundersWiley Periodiocals, Inc., 1992-09)
It is not known whether the histopathology of the liver allograft can be predicted from biochemical measurements in serum with the same confidence as in the native liver. To answer this question we compared the histopathological ...
