Seven men who have prostate cancer, which conventional treatment did not help them, were given 15 g of MCP called Pecta-Sol® daily for three months or longer. The effect of Pecta-Sol® was checked using the measurement of PSA doubling time. PSA production is at the prostate and can ...
4a,b). TNF-α (10 ng/mL) treatment was used as positive control. Also, anti-MCP-1 neutralizing Ab (2 µg/mL) and PAR1 inhibitor (1 µg/mL) inhibited macrophage migration (Fig. 4c–f). Figure 4 MCP-1 produced in mIVDs induced macrophage migration. (a–f) mIVDs were...
All examined joint regions showed treatment response after 6 months (T0-T2). After 3 months (T0-T1), all tendons showed improvement in GS, but not in PD mode. All examined tendons except FT2 in PD (p = 0.390) showed therapy response after 6 months (Table 3). Table 3 Change ...
Silicone implants have been the most long-standing arthroplasty choice in the treatment of the arthritic MCP joint and remain the gold standard. The silastic implants are hinged and provide inherent stability, which compensate for patients with poor soft-tissue stabilizers. They are fairly ...
