INFLUENCE OF THE CTLA-4 (RS231775) GENE POLYMORPHISM ON THE DEGREE OF THE THYROID GLAND ENLARGEMENT IN PATIENTS OPERATED FOR NODULAR GOITER SECONDARY TO AUTOIMMUNE THYROIDITIS [PDF]

Archives of the Balkan Medical Union, 2017
Objectives: To analyze the influence of the CTLA-4(+49G/A)rs231775 gene polymorphism on the degree of thyroid gland enlargement in patients operated for nodular goiter secondary to autoimmune thyroiditis (NGAIT) and thyroid adenomas (TA).

T2-weighted and T1-weighted Dynamic Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide (Ferucarbotran) Enhanced MRI of Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Hyperplastic Nodules

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2008
Iron oxide contrast medium (ferucarbotran) shortens both T1 and T2 relaxation time. We used the T2- and the T1-weighted dynamic ferucarbotran-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to predict the histologic grade of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and ...

Fully automated quantification of in vivo viscoelasticity of prostate zones using magnetic resonance elastography with Dense U-net segmentation [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) for measuring viscoelasticity heavily depends on proper tissue segmentation, especially in heterogeneous organs such as the prostate. Using trained network-based image segmentation, we investigated if MRE data suffice to extract anatomical and viscoelastic information for automatic tabulation of zonal mechanical ...

Efficacy and safety of prostate artery embolization for benign prostatic hyperplasia: an observational study and propensity‐matched comparison with transurethral resection of the prostate (the UK‐ROPE study)

BJU International, 2018
To assess the efficacy and safety of prostate artery embolization (PAE) for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and to conduct an indirect comparison of PAE with transurethral resection of the prostate ...

Homocysteine in Myointimal Hyperplasia

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2002
homocysteine, a sulphur-containing non-essential amino acid, appears to play a role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. However, its role in myointimal hyperplasia, the cause of almost 30% of failures of interventional therapeutic procedures, is much less clear.a review of the published scientific data concerning the role of homocysteine in ...

Multi‐omics analyses reveal the interaction between colonic microbiota and host in Min and Yorkshire pigs

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView., 2023
In the present study, we created the weight gain models with Min and Yorkshire pigs and conducted the metagenomics and metabolomics of colon contents and transcriptomics of colon tissue. Further, we revealed the characteristics and functions of the colonic microbiota in Min and Yorkshire pigs and analyzed their interactions with the host. Overall, this

Simultaneous inhibition of TRIM24 and TRIM28 sensitises prostate cancer cells to antiandrogen therapy, decreasing VEGF signalling and angiogenesis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
TRIM24 and TRIM28 are androgen receptor (AR) coregulators which exhibit increased expression with cancer progression. Both TRIM24 and TRIM28 combine to influence the response of castrate‐resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) cells to AR inhibitors by mediating AR signalling, regulation of MYC and upregulating VEGF to promote angiogenesis. Castrate‐resistant

Repair of the airway epithelium: Potential opportunities for therapeutic intervention in airway disease

Allergology International, 1998
The epithelium of the airway has considerable capacity to undergo repair. These repair processes are responsible for maintaining and restoring function after injury of the airways, which likely occurs often as a result of infectious, toxic or other ...
