KIDNEY CONDITIONS SIMULATING RENAL CALCULI [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Medical Association, 1909
The admonition of the elder Gross, "never operate for stone unless you have one in your pocket," seems especially applicable to renal calculi. The reason for this failure lies not only in the inability of the surgeon to find the stone when present (although this, I grant, at times occurs to the most experienced), but also because there are a number of ...

Inhibitor of DNA binding‐1 is a key regulator of cancer cell vasculogenic mimicry

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Elevated expression of transcriptional regulator inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (ID1) promoted cancer cell‐mediated vasculogenic mimicry (VM) through regulation of pro‐angiogenic and pro‐cancerous genes (e.g. VE‐cadherin (CDH5), TIE2, MMP9, DKK1). Higher ID1 expression also increased metastases to the lung and the liver.

Focused Ultrasound to Expel Calculi From the Kidney [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Urology, 2012
A persistent stone burden after renal stone treatment may result in future patient morbidity and potentially lead to additional surgery. This problem is particularly common after treatment of lower pole stones. We describe a potential noninvasive therapeutic option using ultrasound waves to create a force sufficient to aid in stone fragment expulsion ...

Aberrant expression of nuclear prothymosin α contributes to epithelial‐mesenchymal transition in lung cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Nuclear prothymosin α inhibits epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in lung cancer by increasing Smad7 acetylation and competing with Smad2 for binding to SNAI1, TWIST1, and ZEB1 promoters. In early‐stage cancer, ProT suppresses TGF‐β‐induced EMT, while its loss in the nucleus in late‐stage cancer leads to enhanced EMT and poor prognosis.
