We observed elevated (greater than 30 micrograms/L) TATI levels in pleural fl... | C04 |
8,490 | 8,482 | Posttranslational gastrin processing depends on tumor morphology.
Extracellular matrices have recently been demonstrated to alter cell morphology in culture.
Altered cell morphology has been associated with changes in gene transcription and translation, but it is not known whether it also affects posttranslational pr... | C04 |
8,491 | 4,974 | Reduction of the membrane fluidity of human breast cancer cells by tamoxifen and 17 beta-estradiol.
The intracellular steady-state levels of methotrexate were previously shown to be reduced in estrogen receptor (ER)-negative human breast cancer MDA-MB-436 cells and ER-positive human breast cancer MCF7 cells following ... | C04 |
8,492 | 2,171 | Management of recurrent malignant pleural effusion in the United Kingdom: survey of clinical practice.
Malignant pleural effusions are often symptomatic and tend to recur after simple aspiration.
Pleurodesis may prevent recurrence of the effusion; many agents and techniques have been described.
A questionnaire was s... | C04 |
8,493 | 3,350 | Aetiology of pancreatic cancer
Curative surgery is possible in only a small minority of patients with pancreatic cancer and, to date, responses to chemotherapy and radiotherapy have been disappointing.
To make any impact on the incidence of the disease a clearer understanding of its aetiology is required.
This revi... | C04 |
8,494 | 9,193 | Role of systemic therapy in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.
Increasing evidence supports the investigation of chemotherapy in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Randomized studies in patients with stage IV disease have shown increased survival in chemotherapy-treated patients compared to best supp... | C04 |
8,495 | 5,655 | Screening for neuroblastoma at 3 weeks of age: methods and preliminary results from the Quebec Neuroblastoma Screening Project.
A large neuroblastoma screening study was recently started in the province of Quebec, Canada.
This project, a collaboration between the Quebec Network for Genetic Medicine and the University... | C04 |
8,496 | 2,440 | Hyperplastic gastric polyps associated with persistent Helicobacter pylori infection and active gastritis.
We report two cases of patients with 3-yr histories of upper gastrointestinal symptoms, hyperplastic gastric polyps, and active chronic gastritis.
Biopsies retrospectively stained with Giemsa revealed the persis... | C04 |
8,497 | 9,307 | Progression through the cell cycle: an overview.
Tissues in adults can be maintained at constant mass or they can increase or decrease in size because of imbalances of synthetic and degradative processes acting at the cellular and molecular levels.
Some size changes are caused by physiologic conditions to which the t... | C04 |
8,498 | 9,630 | Impaired polymorphonuclear leucocyte function in patients undergoing hepatectomy: adenylate energy charge and superoxide anion production in relation to hepatic mitochondrial redox state.
Patients undergoing hepatectomy have an increased susceptibility to infection.
We therefore studied the energy metabolism of the p... | C04 |
8,499 | 9,573 | Protection of the small intestine against irradiation by means of a removable prosthesis.
In radiation therapy of tumors, several techniques are used to prevent injury of the intestinal loops.
Their purpose is to drive the intestine out of the external beam.
Understanding the disadvantages they present, a temporary ... | C04 |
