In Brief Purpose: To investigate whether the ratio between metastatic and examined lymph nodes (N ratio) is a better prognostic factor as compared with traditional staging systems in patients gastric cancer regardless of extension node dissection. Patients & Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data 1853 who underwent radical resection for carcinoma at 6 Italian centers. >15 (group 1, n = 1421) those ≤15 2, 432) were separately analyzed. N categories 0, 0%; 1%–9%; 10%–25%; 3, >25%)...
The mammalian growth factor erv1-like (GFER) gene encodes a sulfhydryl oxidase enzyme, named Augmenter of Liver Regeneration (ALR). Recently it has been demonstrated that ALR supports cell proliferation acting as an anti-apoptotic factor. This effect is determined by ability to support the expression and preserve cellular normoxic conditions. We recently addition recombinant (rALR) in culture medium H2O2-treated neuroblastoma cells reduces lethal effects induced hydrogen peroxide. Similar...
The aim is to assess the time-density curves (TDCs) and correlate histologic results for small (≤ 2 cm) PDA surrounding parenchyma at triphasic Multidetector-row CT (MDCT). Triphasic MDCT scans of 38 consecutive patients who underwent surgery a were retrospectively reviewed. TDCs analyzed compared with examination pancreas upstream/downstream in all cases. Three enhancement patterns identified: 1) peak during pancreatic parenchymal phase (PPP) followed by rapid decline on portal venous (PVP)...
Despite the controversial outcomes of clinical trials executed so far, prevention β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition and neurotoxicity by small molecule inhibitors Aβ aggregation remains a target intensively pursued in search effective drugs for treating Alzheimer’s disease (AD) related neurodegeneration syndromes. As continuation previous studies, series new 3-(2-arylhydrazono)indolin-2-one derivatives was synthesized assayed, investigating effects substitutions on both indole core arylhydrazone...
Mitochondrial carriers catalyse the translocation of numerous metabolites across inner mitochondrial membrane, playing a key role in different cell functions. For this reason, carrier gene expression needs tight regulation. The human SLC25A13 gene, encoding for aspartate/glutamate isoform 2 (AGC2), catalyses electrogenic exchange aspartate glutamate plus proton, thus taking part many metabolic processes including malate-aspartate shuttle. By luciferase (LUC) activity promoter deletion...
Gastric cancer constitutes a major health problem. Robotic surgery has been progressively developed in this field. Although the feasibility of robotic procedures demonstrated, there are unresolved aspects being debated, including reproducibility intracorporeal place extracorporeal anastomosis.Difficulties traditional laparoscopy have described and well-known advantages systems, but few articles literature describe full execution reconstructive phase while others do not give thorough...
Cervicocephalic artery dissections occurring during dental care have exceptionally been reported. We describe a case of internal carotid dissection, presenting as hypoglossal nerve palsy, immediately after difficult inferior alveolar anesthetic block for third molar care. Carotid dissection was successfully treated with anticoagulation therapy while palsy recovered shrinkage. The etiopathogenetic mechanisms this singular form are discussed. possibility development oral or procedure,...
Transmitral pressure half time (PHT) was assessed by continuous wave Doppler in 44 patients with rheumatic mitral valve stenosis (14, pure stenosis; 15, combined and regurgitation; 15 associated aortic regurgitation). The area, derived from transmitral the formula 220/pressure time, compared that estimated cross sectional echocardiography. correlated well area correlation between echocardiographic also good for those or regurgitation. regression coefficients three groups of were...
