Resistin is an adipokine that is associated with obesity, inflammation, and various cancers. Chondrosarcomas are primary malignant bone tumors that have a poor prognosis. VEGF-A is a critical angiogenic factor that is known to promote angiogenesis and metastasis in chondrosarcoma. It is unknown as
Leptin, an adipocyte-derived cytokine that is closely associated with obesity, has recently been shown to be involved in carcinogenesis and cancer progression. Integrins are the major adhesive molecules in mammalian cells and have been associated with metastasis of cancer cells. In this study, we
BACKGROUND
Chondrosarcoma is refractory to conventional chemotherapy. BH-3 mimetics ABT-737 and ABT-263 are synthetic small-molecule inhibitors of anti-apoptotic proteins B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl2) and Bcl-xL, which play a critical role in survival of chondrosarcoma cells.
METHODS
Chondrosarcoma cell
BACKGROUND
Leptin, 16kDa product of obese gene, is adipocytokine playing critical role in regulation of body weight. In recent years, leptin is also defined as potent angiogenic factor involving in tumorigenesis, angiogenesis, and metastasis. However, it is unknown whether leptin regulates VEGF
Introduction: Type 1 internal hemipelvectomies and total sacrectomies cause significant biomechanical instability, demanding pelvic ring reconstruction for ambulation and torso support. Previously described methods include autografts, allografts and implants,
The association between osteoarthritis (OA), obesity and metabolic syndrome suggests an interrelation between OA and diabetes mellitus (DM). Little is known about the role of anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-10 in the interrelation between OA and DM. Hence, the effects of IL-10 under
OBJECTIVE
The purpose was to determine prevalence of enchondromas and atypical cartilaginous tumour/chondrosarcoma grade 1 (ACT/CS1) of the knee on MRI in a large cohort study, namely the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity (NEO) study.
METHODS
Participants aged 45 to 65 years were prospectively
OBJECTIVE
Laparoscopy has become the gold standard for the treatment of adrenal tumours in urology. We evaluate our experience with laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) in this work.
METHODS
We performed 38 LA between 2003-2008. We use computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the
