Sentinel lymph node biopsy for breast cancer: How many nodes are enough?
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-12-01)
Introduction Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy using blue dye and radioisotope often results in the removal of multiple SLNs. We sought to determine whether there is a point where the surgeon can terminate the procedure ...
Myocardial Engineering in Vivo: Formation and Characterization of Contractile, Vascularized Three-Dimensional Cardiac Tissue
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers, 2005-05-01)
Engineering cardiac tissue in three dimensions is limited by the ability to supply nourishment to the cells in the center of the construct. This limits the radius of an in vitro engineered cardiac construct to approximately ...
Cholecystokinin receptor antagonism of stimulated pancreatic and gastric secretion
(Elsevier, 1989-11)
The effects of cholecystokinin receptor antagonist, dipentyl-3,4-dichloroproglumide (DDP), on stimulated pancreatic and gastric secretion were studied in the rat. DDP dose-dependently inhibited cholecystokinin-stimulated ...
Elevated intracranial pressure associated with hypermetabolism in isolated head trauma
(Springer-Verlag, 1988-09)
Both metabolic rate and protein catabolism are known to increase following severe head trauma, but the etiology of this hypermetabolism is unknown. To further investigate the problem, we studied the metabolism of 17 patients ...
Extra-adrenal and metastatic pheochromocytoma: The role of 131 I meta-iodobenzylguanidine ( 131 I MIBG) in localization and management
(Springer-Verlag; Springer International, 1984-08)
From June, 1980, to August, 1983, 131 I MIBG scintiscans were performed in 353 patients with suspected pheochromocytomas. Extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas were identified in 15 of 18 patients who at operation were proven ...
A proteomic analysis of Psychrobacter articus 273-4 adaptation to low temperature and salinity using a 2-D liquid mapping approach
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2007-02)
Psychrobacter 273-4 was isolated from a 20 000–40 000–year-old Siberian permafrost core, which is characterized by low temperature, low water activity, and high salinity. To explore how 273-4 survives in the permafrost ...
Immunologic response to cryoablation of breast cancer
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2005-03)
Purpose .With improvements in breast imaging and image-guided interventions, there is interest in ablative techniques for breast cancer. Cryosurgery initiates inflammation and leaves tumor-specific antigens intact, which ...
Differential effects of cAMP and cGMP on in vitro epidermal cell growth
(Elsevier, 1979-04)
Primary keratinocyte cultures free of dermal fibroblasts were used to investigate the effect of varying cyclic AMP (cAMP) concentrations on epidermal cell function. Addition of 10-3, 10-4 or 10-5 M dibutyryl cAMP to plated ...
Constitutive activation of pp125fak in newly isolated human breast cancer cell lines
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1999-03)
Our laboratory has developed twelve human breast cancer cell lines from primary and metastatic sites. In this report we demonstrate that eight of eight breast cancer cell lines examined exhibit constitutively tyrosine ...
