ASSOCIATION BETWEEN MALE PATTERN BALDNESS AND TESTICULAR GERM CELL TUMOR: A METAANALYSIS

on the other area of the section reveals some b -HCG positive syniotrophoblastic cells in the sea of other tumor cells (fig. 4). Initial b -HCG and AFP levels in the blood were 2,630 mIU/ml and 396 ng/ml, respec- tively. Testicle ultrasonography disclosed two small heterogenous[r]

Treatment with dexamethasone inhibited other leuko- cytes measured in the lung with ED 50 values comparable to those determined for eosinophilia (Table 1). This
would suggest that these inflammatory cells are also not associated with AHR; indeed, neutrophil numbers in the BAL fluid and tis[r]

Though obesity is associated with some malignancies, its association with cervical cancer is still inconclusive. This study was aimed at determining if there was an association between obesity and cervical epithelial cell abnormalities (CEA).

sis transition in double mutant males resulted in improper differentiation and higher rate of apoptosis.
In summary, phosphorylation by Cdk complexes are important for regu- latory events leading to mammalian germ cell development. The interplay of various cyclins and[r]

Lenvatinib (E7080), an oral multi-kinase inhibitor, has inhibitory action on tumor cell proliferation and tumor angiogenesis in preclinical models. We evaluated correlations between pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers with patient clinical outcomes in a lenvatinib phase 1 dose-escalation study.

This study assessed the association between fructose and zinc concentration and various seminal characteristics. Fructose and zinc in semen reflect the secretory function of seminal vesicles. These tests may help in assessing the diagnosis and the management of male infertility

The poor prognosis for glioblastoma patients is caused by the diffuse infiltrative growth pattern of the tumor. Therefore, the molecular and cellular processes underlying cell migration continue to be a major focus of glioblastoma research.

We investigate polymorphisms known to be associated with TGCT risk. We identified 45 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) revealed through 4 Genome Wide Association Studies and one[r]

Cancer–testis antigens (CTA) comprise a family of proteins, which are physiologically expressed in adult human tissues solely in testicular germ cells and occasionally placenta. However, CTA expression has been reported in various malignancies.

Survivors of germ-cell tumors (GCT) may suffer from long-term adverse consequences. Our study was conducted to assess a long-term sexual functioning in GCT survivors. This study identified an impairment in sexual function may represent an issue for long-term GCT survivors.

EGF-like domain 6 (EGFL6), a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) repeat protein superfamily, is a secreted protein that promotes endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis. The current study investigated the association between the clinicopathological characteristics and plasma level of EGF[r]

Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating neonatal disease. A temporal association between red cell transfusion and NEC has been recognized and there have been concerns about the effects of feeding during transfusion.

Our recent study showed that NSC-741909 induced sus- tained JNK activation associated with decreased protein levels of MKP1, one of MAP kinase phosphatases that inactivate JNK and p38 MAP kinases [2]. Interestingly, NSC-741909 induced an increase of MKP1 mRNA expression in both time- and
