Local Subcutaneous Injection of Erythropoietin Might Improve Fat Graft Survival, Whereas Continuous Infusion Using an Osmotic Pump Device Was Harmful by Provoking an Overwhelming Foreign Body Reaction in a Nude Mouse Model [PDF]
Background Since the survival of grafted fat requires successful revascularization, we hypothesized that local delivery of erythropoietin (EPO), a hemangiogenic and antiapoptotic factor, might enhance the survival of fat grafts in a nude mouse model ...

Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2/9 and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1/2 as Predictive Factors in Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma [PDF]
Introduction: Metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors play an important role in the metastases formation. A multistage process of carcinogenesis requires the involvement of numerous enzymes and compounds that facilitate the expansion of tumor ...

SURVIVAL OF ENGRAFTED TISSUES [PDF]
A. THYROID For a long time it has been known that thyroid tissues may be successfully engrafted.1Kocher2(1883) and Schiff3(1884), in the early eighties, the former using dogs and the latter operating on man, obtained temporary benefit by grafting after removal of the thyroids.

The Local Tumor Microbiome Is Associated with Survival in Late-Stage Colorectal Cancer Patients
The gut microbiome is associated with survival in colorectal cancer. Single organisms have been identified as markers of poor prognosis. However, in situ imaging of tumors demonstrate a polymicrobial tumor-associated community.

Obtaining tissue diagnosis in lung cancer patients with poor performance status and its influence on treatment and survival [PDF]
Introduction: 25% of patients with lung cancer have performance status 3 or 4. A pragmatic approach to investigative procedures is often adopted based on the risks and benefits in these patients and whether tissue diagnosis is necessary for ...

Prognostic and predictive value of circulating tumor cells and CXCR4 expression as biomarkers for a CXCR4 peptide antagonist in combination with carboplatin-etoposide in small cell lung cancer: exploratory analysis of a phase II study. [PDF]
Background Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4 (CXCR4) expression in CTCs and tumor tissue were evaluated as prognostic or predictive markers of CXCR4 peptide antagonist LY2510924 plus carboplatin-etoposide (CE) versus ...
