Assessing body weight is common practice for monitoring health in marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus ). Body composition analysis via quantitative magnetic resonance (QMR) a more in-depth assessment allowing measurements of lean and fat mass, but it expensive remains unavailable to most. Alternatively, condition scoring (BCS) an instrument-free method visually inspecting palpating tissue. Animals are rated mass abundance, using ordinal scale with species-specific descriptions as reference....
<i>Background:</i> Pyogenic liver abscesses are uncommon but they still carry a high mortality rate when encountered. This study was undertaken to evaluate the differences in clinical behaviour of patients with single and multiple abscesses. <i>Methods:</i> From January 1985 December 1997, 133 this disease were treated surgical departments five hospitals, 97 had abscess 36 Clinical features, methods treatment, outcome assessed compared both types...
Aims/Hypothesis Failure in glucose response to insulin is a common pathology associated with obesity. In this study, we analyzed the genome wide DNA methylation profile of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) samples population individuals obesity and assessed whether differential profiles are presence type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods More than 485,000 CpG sites from VAT women undergoing gastric bypass (n = 18), classified as suffering (T2D) or not (no diabetes, NT2D), were using arrays. Results We...
In this prospective study we have quantified by means of ELISA-methods the cytosolic content estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PgR) in tumoral tissue paired normal mucosa from 163 patients with resectable colorectal cancer. Survival analysis was performed a subgroup 120 mean follow-up period 24.9 months. The cutoff for ER PgR levels set at 1 fmol/mg protein. On basis 20.9% cancers were positive 25.8% positive; adjacent presented 18.4% 24.5%. Our results did not show any significant...
The aim of this work was to evaluate the cytosolic contents hyaluronic acid (HA) and cathepsin D (CatD) in gastric carcinomas their possible relationships with clinicopathological parameters tumors. Our study demonstrated a wide variability levels HA (mean +/- SEM: 3748 411 ng/mg protein) (52 4 pmol/mg tumors 78 cancer patients. In addition, tumoral CatD were significantly higher (p<0.005) diffuse type (HA: 6027 1099 protein; CatD: 75 13 than intestinal 2735 242 42 3 carcinomas. These data...
Abstract Background and Aims Cathepsin D (Cath‐D) is an aspartyl protease involved in protein catabolism tissue remodelling. In the present article, we evaluate tumor content of Cath‐D resectable gastric carcinomas its relation with clinical pathological parameters, as well prognostic significance. Method This prospective study included a series 60 patients primary adenocarcinoma, who first underwent complete surgical resection their tumors then were evaluated for disease recurrence survival...
