Transforming Growth Factor-Beta and Urokinase Type Plasminoge Interplay in Cancer
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2018)
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is well recognized as playing a double role in tumor progression. Its antitumor role takes place in the early stages of cancer development, when TGF-beta acts as a repressor of ...
Novel Selenosemicarbazone Metal Complexes Exert Anti-tumor Effect via Alternative, Caspase-independent Necroptotic Cell Death
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2014)
The synthesis and chemical characterization of the novel 2,6-diacetylpyridine-bis(selenosemicarbazone) metal complexes of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II) were published previously. Here we report first evidence on anti-proliferative ...
Utilization of ultrasound as a diagnostic tool in the preoperative assessment of patients with adnexal masses
(Balkan Union of Oncology (B.U.ON.), 2015)
Purpose: To evaluate the reliability of ultrasound scan (US) findings in the preoperative assessment of the nature of adnexal masses in females. Methods: After detailed history, a preoperative US examination was performed ...
Different fatty acid composition of serum phospholipids of small and appropriate for gestational age preterm infants and of milk from their mothers
(Lithographia, Thessaloniki, 2012)
Background: Placental supply of fatty acids (FA) is essential for normal foetal development but in premature infants this supply is interrupted. To investigate the association of intrautrine growth restriction with serum ...
Prevention of systemic and regional haemodynamic alterations, hypercreatininemia, hyperuremia and hyperphosphatemia by losartan in hypertension with acute renal failure
(Akademiai Kiado Zrt, Budapest, 2011)
Patients with pre-existing hypertension are at a particular risk of fatal outcome due to acute renal failure (ARF). We investigate the effects of angiotensin II type-1 receptor blocker (ARB) losartan, on haemodynamics and ...
Urokinase Type Plasminogen Activator and the Molecular Mechanisms of its Regulation in Cancer
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2017)
Background: Urokinase type plasminogen activator (uPA) is a 53-kDa serine protease initially synthesized as a catalytically inactive single chain polypeptide. Inactive-uPA is subject to proteolytic cleavage, which results ...
Factorial validity of extended sport competitive anxiety test evaluated with young athletes
(Stellenbosch Univ, Matieland, 2019)
The Sport Competitive Anxiety Test (SCAT) has been applied most widely to estimate anxiety in sport. Although the SCAT has been modified to make the instrument more appropriate for the assessment of the multidimensional ...
Modulation of platelet function with dietary polyphenols A promising strategy in the prevention of cardiovascular disease
(Teknoscienze Publ, Milano, 2015)
Beyond being central players in haemostasis and thrombosis, platelets have crucial roles in the development of atherosclerosis, mediated through their interactions with monocytes and endothelial cells. Disturbed platelet ...
The efficacy of two protocols for inducing motor cortex plasticity in healthy humans - TMS study
(General Physiol And Biophysics, Bratislava, 2009)
Stimulation-induced plasticity represents an experimental model of motor cortex reorganization. It can be produced in awaked humans by combining the non-invasive electrical stimulation of somatosensory afferents via mixed ...
Improvement of language functions in a chronic non-fluent post-stroke aphasic patient following bilateral sequential theta burst magnetic stimulation
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2015)
In chronic non-fluent aphasia patients, inhibition of the intact right hemisphere (RH), by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or similar methods, can induce improvement in language functions. The supposed mechanism ...
