Brain metastasis (BrM) poses a significant challenge to the prognosis and quality of life for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS), has been i
(NK-2R and NK-3R); (12) SP exerts an anti-apoptotic effect (activating the basal kinase activity of the anti-apoptotic molecule protein kinase B (Akt)) and increases the glycolytic rate (Warburg effect) of tumor cells (which augment their metabolism due to the glucose obtained); (13) ...
48. Cells were seeded onto TCPS at a density of 4,000 cells/cm2 and cultured in EGM2 for 24 hr before the media was replaced with StemPro Adipogenesis Differentiation Kit (Invitrogen). The latter was exchanged every other day for 10 days before cells were rinsed with PBS−/− ...
After the surgery, a resting period of at least 2–3 weeks before starting the imaging procedure was respected to minimize inflammation. Two-photon microscopy All animals were imaged using a two-photon microscope (Olympus FV1000 MPE), equipped with a Mai Tai DeepSee femto-second pulsed Ti:...
The morbidity and mortality rates associated with vascular disease (VD) have been gradually increasing. Currently, the most common treatment for VD is surgery, with the progress in drug therapy remaining slow. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural extract of Ca
Pancreatic cancer and adjacent noncancerous tissues were obtained from 68 patients who underwent surgical resection at the General Surgery Departments of the First and Second Hospitals of Lanzhou University. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed on all the tissues, while immunohistochemical...
properties of these widely found constituents are probably best demonstrated by the urinary tract antimicrobial arbutin [9] and the anti-inflammatory salicylates [10]. A property shared by all phenols is antimicrobial activity. In fact, phenol itself was the first antiseptic used in surgery [11]....
trauma, burns, hemorrhage, severe surgery and other pathophysiological situations leading to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). The injection of recombinant pro-inflammatory cytokines mimics some of the clinical parameters observed in SIRS patients and the use of anti-cytokine antibodies ...
