Expression of gastrin-releasing peptide by excitatory interneurons in the mouse superficial dorsal horn [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and its receptor have been shown to play an important role in the sensation of itch. However, although GRP immunoreactivity has been detected in the spinal dorsal horn, there is debate about whether this ...

Diagnostic values of serum levels of pepsinogens and gastrin-17 for screening gastritis and gastric cancer in a high risk area in Northern Iran [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is the second cause of cancer related death in the world. It may develop by progression from its precancerous condition, called gastric atrophy (GA) due to gastritis.

Integrating Clinical Features, Laboratory Biomarkers and Computed Tomography for the Discrimination of Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer and Benign Pulmonary Diseases: A Clinical Prediction Model

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study developed and validated a clinical prediction model to differentiate non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from benign pulmonary diseases using clinical features, laboratory biomarkers, and CT features. The model achieved an AUC‐ROC of 0.95 in the training set and 0.82 in the validation set, demonstrating reliable diagnostic performance and ...

The evolution and variety of RFamide-type neuropeptides: insights from deuterostomian invertebrates [PDF]

, 2014
Five families of neuropeptides that have a C-terminal RFamide motif have been identified in vertebrates: (1) gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH), (2) neuropeptide FF (NPFF), (3) pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide (QRFP), (4) prolactin-releasing peptide (

A new family of diverse skin peptides from the microhylid frog genus phrynomantis [PDF]

, 2020
A wide range of frogs produce skin poisons composed of bioactive peptides for defence against pathogens, parasites and predators. While several frog families have been thoroughly screened for skin-secreted peptides, others, like the Microhylidae, have ...

Clinical Implications of Ki‐67 Index, Grade and Hormonal Changes in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: Insights Into Tumor Heterogeneity Based on Primary and Secondary Lesions

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) show heterogeneity, including temporal shifts in proliferation and hormone production; however, their clinical implications remain uncertain. Methods This retrospective study included 114 patients with metastatic or recurrent PanNETs at Kyushu University Hospital.

PERCC1‐associated enteropathy: Diagnostic challenges and enteral autonomy achieved with teduglutide

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Congenital diarrheas and enteropathies (CODE) are rare inherited disorders characterized by early‐onset intractable diarrhea. Though progress has been made in elucidating the genetic basis of CODE, much remains to be discovered. Another challenge is the lack of curative therapies—treatment is primarily supportive including enteral and ...

Evaluation of Two Commercial ELISA Kits for Measuring Equine Serum Gastrin Compared to Radioimmunoassay

Animals
Gastrin is an important hormone involved in gastric acid secretion. Despite its importance, validated methods other than radioimmunoassay (RIA) to assess serum gastrin concentrations in horses are lacking.

Immunotherapy of lung cancer: An update [PDF]

, 2006
In Germany lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated death in men. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation may enhance survival of patients suffering from lung cancer but the enhancement is typically transient and mostly absent with advanced ...

PSMA PET‐directed radiotherapy for prostate cancer: From precision planning to future innovations

VIEW, EarlyView.
Prostate‐specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging enables highly sensitive detection of prostate cancer recurrence and precise lesion mapping. This review summarizes current evidence and emerging applications of PSMA PET in radiotherapy, including diagnostic staging, target delineation, adaptive planning, and outcome ...
