Thymic carcinoma is a rare neoplasm with a poor outcome due to its aggressive characteristics. For patients who are not operable, radiation therapy and/or palliative chemotherapy are indicated. However, no optimal chemotherapy regimen has been established. The present study reports the case of a
We report a rare case with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), thymoma, and membranous glomerulonephritis. The pathogenic mechanisms of these 3 diseases may be associated with each other. Here, we discuss the course of diagnosis and treatment.A 64-year-old woman Thymic carcinomas are rare malignant tumors, located in the anterior mediastinum. For the treatment of these carcinomas, several chemotherapy regimens have been suggested, including carboplatin plus paclitaxel. However, because of the rarity of these tumors, the standard chemotherapy regimen has not
OBJECTIVE
Receptor-mediated endocytosis of albumin by the renal proximal tubule requires a number of proteins including megalin/cubilin, sodium/hydrogen exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3) and ClC-5, as well as the PSD-95/Dlg/Zo-1 (PDZ) scaffold sodium/hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor 2 (NHERF2). Despite
Object. To test whether preoperative immunonutrition is efficacious in reducing postoperative complications in patients of thymoma with myasthenia gravis (MG). Material and Methods. A total of 244 patients operated on for thymoma with myasthenia gravis were prospectively assigned to two groups, each
The application of embryo-related technology is dependent on in vitro culture systems. Unfortunately, most culture media are suboptimal and result in developmentally compromised embryos. Since embryo development is partially dependent upon Warburg Effect-like metabolism, our goal was to test the
BACKGROUND
Our laboratory demonstrated previously that treatment with a tumor-specific, radiolabeled anti-Thy 1 murine monoclonal antibody (MAb) in mice can eradicate a T-cell lymphoma mass, but the doses required were toxic to normal organs. Approaches to increase MAb concentration in tumor tissue
OBJECTIVE
Phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) is deregulated in many human tumor types, including primary liver malignancies. The kinase v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1 (Akt) and mammalian target of rapamycin complex (mTORC1) are effectors of PI3K that promote cell growth and
Myasthenic crisis (MC) is a life-threatening condition usually occurred in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG).On the basis of a retrospective case series review, we try to develop a scoring system to evaluate the probability for in-hospital death in MC OBJECTIVE
Since interactome analysis of diseases can provide candidate biomarker panel related to the diseases, in this research, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis is used to introduce the involved crucial proteins in Gastric adenocarcinoma (GA).
BACKGROUND
Gastric adenocarcinoma
The objective of this study was to examine the effect of cell death induced by the emulsion adjuvants on the in vitro delivery of antigens into the antigen-presenting cells (APCs). J774A.1 murine macrophage-like cells, serving as the APCs, were pulsed with various vaccine adjuvants, and incubated
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of double filtration plasmapheresis (DFP) in the treatment of patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) and to analyze the possible prognostic factors related to responsiveness to DFP.
METHODS
We treated 45 MG patients, 26 women and 19 men aged
The antigen-specific activation of murine nonimmunized B lymphocytes subsequently used in hybridization experiments has been investigated by using phylogenetically conserved antigens or autologous immunogens. This in vitro immunization was supported by B cell growth and differentiation factors
The synthetic terpolymer L-glutamic acid60-L-alanine30-L-tyrosine10 (GAT) stimulates GAT-specific suppressor T cells in nonresponder mice. Extracts from these T cells contain a GAT-specific soluble T cell suppressor factor (GAT-TsF) that inhibits development of GAT-specific plaque-forming cell (PFC)
This study investigates the intracellular transport of protein antigens facilitated by L121-adjuvants and examines the associated cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) effect. EL4 mouse thymoma cells were treated with L121-adjuvant and stained with AnnexinV-propidium iodide (PI) followed by flow cytometric
