Vanadium pentoxide induces pulmonary inflammation and tumor promotion in a strain-dependent manner
(East Carolina University, 2010-04-12)
Background: Elevated levels of air pollution are associated with increased risk of lung cancer. Particulate matter (PM)
contains transition metals that may potentiate neoplastic development through the induction of oxidative ...
Comparison of tolerance characteristics in the guinea pig following chronic in-vivo exposure to opioid versus cannabinoid receptor agonists
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Few studies have compared the nature of tolerance that develops following chronic in vivo opioid treatment with that which develops after chronic cannabinoid exposure in the same tissue and species. Based on similarities ...
Factors Associated with Survival of Veterans with Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors
(2012)
Background. Gastrointestinal (GI) neuroendocrine tumor (NET) incidence has been increasing; however, GI NET within the national Veterans Affairs (VA) health system has not been described. Methods. We used the VA Central ...
Long Noncoding RNA Expression Signatures of Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma and Their Prognostic Value
(2015)
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently been found to play important roles in various cancer types. The elucidation of genome-wide lncRNA expression patterns in metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) could reveal ...
The role of PPARγ in carbon nanotube-elicited granulomatous lung inflammation
(2013)
BACKGROUND:
Although granulomatous inflammation is a central feature of many disease processes, cellular mechanisms of granuloma formation and persistence are poorly understood. Carbon nanoparticles, which can be products ...
Prolactin and Dehydroepiandrosterone Levels in Women with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: The Role of the Extrapituitary Prolactin Promoter Polymorphism at −1149G/T
(2015)
stemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has shown an association with high levels of prolactin, low levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and induction of inflammatory cytokines in the serum of patients with the disease. This ...
Review of Musculoskeletal Injuries and Prevention in the Endoscopy Practitioner
(2014-08)
Practitioners of endoscopy often experience musculoskeletal pain and injury (most often in the back, neck, shoulders, hands, wrists, and thumbs) that are associated with the minute and repetitive strain that is placed on ...
Spontaneous Weight Change during Chronic Hepatitis C Treatment: Association with Virologic Response Rates
(2013)
Objective: We examined weight changes during chronic hepatitis C (CHC) therapy and association with virologic response.
Methods: Weight changes were compared between subjects achieving rapid, early, and sustained virologic ...
Transplant Coordinators' Perceived Impact of Availability of Multiple Generic Immunosuppression Therapies on Patients, Workload, and Posttransplant Maintenance Therapy
(2013)
Background. No studies have evaluated the impact of multiple generic immunosuppression medications on transplant coordinators (TCs) and patients. Methods. A cross-sectional, multicenter online survey of TCs managing ...
