Low molecular weight dextran in experimental pancreatitis: Effects on pancreatic microcirculation
(Elsevier, 1983-07)
Although low molecular weight (LMW) dextran has been said to decrease the lethality of experimental acute pancreatitis (AP) by reversing stasis in the pancreatic microcirculation, the actual mechanism(s) of action is ...
Current state of treatment for primary cutaneous melanoma
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-VerlagItalia, 2004-04)
The incidence of malignant melanoma has been rising steadily for the last 30 years. Through physician and patient education, surveillance of high-risk individuals, and biopsy of any suspicious lesions, more lesions are ...
Emergency extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-supported percutaneous coronary interventions in the fibrillating heart
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-12)
We describe two cases of refractory ventricular fibrillation complicating transcatheter interventional procedures. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was used in each to support percutaneous coronary revascularization in ...
Gene gun application in the generation of effector T cells for adoptive immunotherapy
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2000-01)
We utilized the gene gun to transfect subcutaneous D5 melanoma and MT-901 mammary carcinoma tumors in situ with a granulocyte/macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) plasmid complexed to gold particles. There was ...
Kupffer cell activation by lipopolysaccharide in rats: Role for lipopolysaccharide binding protein and toll-like receptor 4
(W.B. SaundersWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2000-04)
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) binding protein (LBP) is a key serum factor that mediates LPS activation of mononuclear cells. In the presence of LBP, 1/1,000 the concentration of LPS is sufficient to activate peripheral blood ...
Arterial levels of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) reflect oxidant stress in vivo
(Elsevier, 1990-04)
Neutrophil-related, oxidant-mediated injury to the pulmonary microvasculature appears to follow endotoxemia, cutaneous thermal injury, and ischemia--reperfusion injury to the liver or intestine. Glutathione is an important ...
Allogeneic and Autologous Melanoma Vaccines: Where have we been and where are we going?
(2006-04)
The past three decades have seen substantial research on vaccines for the treatment of metastatic melanoma and the prevention of recurrence following resection. Despite their enormous promise, the actual results have been ...
Bombesin-Stimulated Acetylcholine Release from Myenteric Plexus Neurons
(Elsevier, 1993-05)
The ability of bombesin to stimulate acetylcholine release from guinea pig myenteric plexus neurons was studied using a primary neuronal culture system. Bombesin caused dose-dependent increases in [3H]acetylcholine (ACh) ...
