Somatostatin and Somatostatin Receptors in Tumour Biology
Somatostatin (SST), a growth hormone inhibitory peptide, is expressed in endocrine and non-endocrine tissues, immune cells and the central nervous system (CNS). Post-release from secretory or immune cells, the first most appreciated role that SST exhibits is the antiproliferative effect in target tissue that served as a potential therapeutic ...

The Role of Somatostatin Treatment in the Management of Chylous Fistula after Neck Dissection
Chylous fistula is a serious complication of neck dissection. The use of somatostatin after neck surgery, has been described in literature. Because of the absence of definitive guidelines, reporting of our experience in three cases may guide the surgeons

Somatostatin radioimmunoassay with 125I-N.ALPHA.-tyrosyl-somatostatin.
Nalpha-Tyrosyl-somatostatin was synthesized and proved to be homogeneous. Radioiodination of this tyrosine-containing somatostatin analogue by either the lactoperoxidase method or the chloramine T method led to the formation of crude iodinated compound, which was purified by ion exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex C-25 using a linear ammonium ...

Mapping alterations in the local synchrony of the cerebral cortex in schizophrenia
Background Observations from different fields of research coincide in indicating that a defective gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) interneuron system may be among the primary factors accounting for the varied clinical expression of schizophrenia.

Therapeutic sequences in patients with grade 1−2 neuroendocrine tumors (NET): an observational multicenter study from the ELIOS group [PDF]
Purpose: Many different treatments are suggested by guidelines to treat grade 1−2 (G1−G2) neuroendocrine tumors (NET). However, a precise therapeutic algorithm has not yet been established.
