Translocation t(3;8)(p14.2;q24.1) in renal cell carcinoma affects expression of the common fragile site at 3p14(FRA3B) in lymphocytes
(Elsevier, 1988-03)
The common fragile site at 3p14(FRA3B) is cytogenetically close to the positions of translocation and deletion breakpoints frequently observed in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and small cell carcinoma of the lung. Possible ...
Improved prognosis of intracranial non-germinoma germ cell tumors with multimodality therapy
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-03)
The 5 year survival for patients with malignant intracranial non-germinoma germ cell tumors (NGGCT) which include endodermalsinus tumors, embryonal carcinomas, choriocarcinomas and immatureteratomas is less than 25% following ...
NPHS2 mutation associated with recurrence of proteinuria after transplantation
(Springer-Verlag; IPNA, 2004-05)
Mutations in the NPHS2 gene encoding podocin are associated with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) in childhood. Patients usually present with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). It is unclear to what ...
Interferon-Γ inhibits DNA synthesis and insulin-like growth factor-II expression in human neuroblastoma cells
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1993-04-01)
Interferon-Γ (IFN-Γ) is known to be an antiproliferative, differentiation agent in many cell types, including neuroblastoma. In this study, we determined the effects of IFN-Γ on cellular growth and expression of insulin-like ...
Use of Balloon-expandable stents to treat experimental peripheral pulmonary artery and superior vena caval stenosis: Preliminary experience
(Springer-Verlag, 1992-04)
Current therapy of congenital or acquired stenoses of the peripheral pulmonary arteries and superior vena cava are frequently ineffective. This report describes our initial experience with the use of a balloon-expandable ...
Pulsatile LH secretion in women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS): Evidence for normal neuroregulation of the menstrual cycle
(Elsevier, 1992)
The premenstrual syndrome (PMS) has been proposed to result from excessive exposure to and/or withdrawal of brain opioid activity during the luteal phase. Because hypothalamic opioids are believed to modulate GnRH secretion, ...
Resistance to nitroprusside neurotoxicity in perinatal rat brain
(Elsevier, 1994-05-19)
Nitric oxide (NO) may mediate some of the toxic effects of the excitatory amino acid (EAA) glutamate when there is overactivation of the (NMDA) receptor. In the developing rodent nervous system, NMDA neurotoxicity peaks ...
Parents' safety beliefs and childhood agricultural injury
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2009-09)
Background This study examined potential associations between parental safety beliefs and children's chore assignments or risk of agricultural injury. Methods Analyses were based on nested case–control data collected ...
MRI of surgically created pulmonary artery narrowing in the dog
(Springer-Verlag, 1989-11)
Narrowing of the pulmonary arteries was created surgically in twelve dogs. In six of the dogs the narrowing was central (main pulmonary artery), and in the remaining six the narrowing was located peripherally at the hilar ...
