Potential role of sugar transporters in cancer and their relationship with anticancer therapy
(Hindawi, 2010-06-20)
[Abstract] Sugars, primarily glucose and fructose, are the main energy source of cells. Because of their hydrophilic nature, cells use a number of transporter proteins to introduce sugars through their plasma membrane. ...
Peritoneal protein transport during the baseline peritoneal equilibration test is an accurate predictor of the outcome of peritoneal dialysis patients
(Karger, 2010)
[Abstract] Background: Peritoneal protein excretion (PPE) is a potential marker of the outcome in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Method: Observational study of a cohort of 269 patients starting PD in a single unit. ...
Fructose transporter Glut5 expression in clear renal cell carcinoma
(Spandidos, 2010-12-10)
[Abstract] Renal cell carcinomas (RCC) can be subclassified for general purposes into clear cell, papillary cell, chromophobe cell carcinomas and oncocytomas. Other tumours such as collecting duct, medullary, mucinous ...
Chondrogenic Potential of Subpopulations of Cells Expressing Mesenchymal Stem Cell Markers Derived from Human Synovial Membranes
(Wiley, 2010-07-21)
[Abstract] In this study we analyzed the chondrogenic potential of subpopulations of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from human synovial membranes enriched for CD73, CD106, and CD271 markers. Subpopulations of human ...
Diagnosis delay and follow-up strategies in colorectal cancer. Prognosis implications: a study protocol
(BioMed Central, 2010-10-05)
[Abstract] Background: Controversy exists with regard to the impact that the different components of diagnosis delay may have on the degree of invasion and prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer. The follow-up ...
Peritoneal total protein transport assessed from peritoneal equilibration tests using different dialysate glucose concentrations
(SAGE, 2010-09)
[Abstract] Background: The peritoneal equilibration test (PET) permits assessment of peritoneal protein transport, but this potential marker of outcome in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lacks adequate standardization. ...
Bronchial carcinoid and type 1 multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome: a case report
(Elsevier, 2010-10)
[Abstract] Carcinoid tumours of bronchial origin are rare in type 1 multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN1) syndrome. The prevalence of histologically confirmed cases is approximately 5-8%, although in more recent studies it ...
Controlled trial on the effect of 10 days low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on motor signs in Parkinson´s disease
(Wiley, 2010-07-28)
[Abstract] We evaluated the effect of low-frequency rTMS
on motor signs in Parkinson’s disease (PD), under a doubleblind
placebo-controlled trial design. PD patients were randomly
assigned to received either real (n 5 ...
Molecular profile and cellular characterization of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells: donor influence on chondrogenesis
(Elsevier, 2010)
[Abstract] Background. The use of autologous or allogenic stem cells has recently been suggested as an alternative therapeutic approach for treatment of cartilage defects. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are ...
Multilineage differentiation potential of cells isolated from the human amniotic membrane
(Wiley, 2010-11-01)
[Abstract] The human amniotic membrane (HAM) contains two cell types from different embryological origins. Human amnion epithelial cells (hAECs) are derived from the embryonic ectoderm, while human amnion mesenchymal stromal ...
