The mean concentration of total alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) measured in 51 primary breast cancer cytosols from postmenopausal women by radioimmunoassay after treatment with 0.4 M KCl was 87.2 IU AFP per ml. Little or no AFP was measured in these same cytosols before KCl treatment. After labeling
There is no information available on the relation between response to chemotherapy and the high-risk phenotype assessed by uPA and/or PAI-1. The clinical situation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy provides a means of rapidly assessing the sensitivity of the primary tumour to cytotoxic drug regimens. The
Lithium, which is used to treat bipolar psychiatric disorders, can stimulate proliferation of a number of cells in tissue culture. Proliferation of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, which also respond to EGF and estrogens, was stimulated by LiCl (1-5 mM) within the concentration range that is
Leukocyte migration inhibition (LMI) assays were performed to detect cell-mediated immune reactions against tumor-associated antigens (TAA) of Ewing's sarcoma. With the use of crude antigen preparations obtained by 3M KCl extractions of fresh Ewing's sarcoma or of tissue culture cells derived from a
An online preconcentration method, namely electrokinetic supercharging (EKS), was evaluated for the determination of tamoxifen and its metabolites in human plasma in nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis with ultraviolet detection (NACE-UV). This method was comprehensively optimized in terms of the
Estrogen receptors (ER) were examined in cytosol, nuclear potassium chloride (KCl) extractable fraction, and nuclear KCl unextractable fraction by the dextran-coated charcoal adsorption method in various gastric cancer tissue. The overall ER-positive rate in the cytosol and nuclear fraction was
OBJECTIVE
The case of a patient whose International Normalized Ratio (INR) increased with concurrent use of ophthalmic erythromycin and warfarin is reported.
CONCLUSIONS
A 77-year-old Caucasian woman began therapy with warfarin for thromboembolism prophylaxis secondary to atrial fibrillation (target
BACKGROUND
Amino acid infusion is frequently selected to avoid hypothermia during surgery. However, changes in electrolytic concentration resulting from its use are unclear. The aim of this study was to identify the effect of amino acid on body temperature and changes in electrolytic
This study explores the effect of the electrode material on the sensitivity of interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) used in Electrical Cell-Substrate Impedance Sensing (ECIS) technology. This technique is a label-free method to evaluate cellular activity of adherent cells. IDEs of gold (Au), indium tin
Although the oxidative stress and inflammation are closely related with breast cancer, there is no study directly examining the possible changes in vascular functions in the presence of breast carcinoma. The goal of the present study was to evaluate changes in vascular reactivity in tumor-bearing
Ion transporters are important in regulation of ionic homeostasis, cell volume, and cellular signal transduction under physiological conditions. They have recently emerged as important players in cancer progression. In this review, we discussed two important ion transporter proteins,
