gastrointestinal stromal tumors/potassium

Previously, we showed that the expression of potassium channel tetramerization domain-containing 12 (KCTD12), which was discovered by a proteomics approach, is associated with high-risk behavior of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Here, we examined the distribution and expression of this

Sarcomas range from curable tumors to those causing death via metastasis and recurrence. Thus, there is an urgent need for biomarker identification in order to assess the degree of malignancy, predict prognosis, and evaluate possible therapies. Various proteomic approaches and different clinical

BACKGROUND Prognostic biomarkers are required for risk stratification therapy in the patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). In this study, we aimed to identify prognostic biomarkers in GIST. We assessed the prognostic value of E twenty-six variant 1 (ETV1), a recently identified

OBJECTIVE We aimed to develop prognostic biomarkers for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) using a proteomic approach. METHODS We examined the proteomic profile of GISTs using two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis. The prognostic performance of biomarker candidates was examined using a

Human potassium channel tetramerization domain containing 12 (KCTD12, also known as Pfetin) is a member of the KCTD family which consists of 26 members. It has been reported that KCTD12 regulates agonist potency and kinetics of GABAB receptor signaling. Proteomic analysis indicates that KCTD12 may

OBJECTIVE Capsule endoscopy (CE) is a new diagnostic modality that is being utilized with increasing frequency for examination of lesions suspected to be of small bowel origin. The most common indication for CE is obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. This study investigated the safety and diagnostic

We report a case of extensive pseudofungi in the pericolic lymph nodes. A 45-year-old man presented with lower abdominal discomfort, and large solid and cystic masses were discovered in the pelvic cavity by computed tomography. Debulking of the masses (by means of a Hartmann operation) was performed

BACKGROUND It has been shown that the expression of potassium channel tetramerization domain containing 12 (KCTD12) as a regulator of GABAB receptor signaling is reversely associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumors. In present study we examined the probable role of KCTD12 in regulation of
