Lactotroph adenoma, also called prolactinoma, is the most common pituitary tumor but little is known about its pathogenesis. Mouse models of prolactinoma can be useful to better understand molecular mechanisms involved in abnormal lactotroph cell pro...
This study aims to assess cell-free DNA (CFD) by a fluorescence assay as a biomarker for early prediction of a pathologic complete response (pCR) and relapse in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. P...
Accurate identification of cancer biomarkers and classification of cancer type and subtype from High Throughput Sequencing (HTS) data is a challenging problem because it requires manual processing of raw HTS data from various sequencing platforms, qu...
BACKGROUND: Impaired renal function can lead to the accumulation of metformin, and elevated concentrations of metformin have been associated with lactic acidosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of continuous metformin treatment in p...
BACKGROUND: Intracranial atherosclerosis (ICA) a major health problem. This study investigated whether inhalation of fine airborne particulate matters (PM2.5) causes ICA and whether omega-3 fatty acids (O3FA) attenuated the development of ICA.
The aim of the current study was to identify the protective effect of hydrogen gas against liver injury during CO pneumoperitoneum. Rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group (C group), pneumoperitoneum group (P15 group) and hydrogen...
PURPOSE: To determine whether pretreatment 1H magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy at 3 Tesla (T) and 18F-FDG PET/CT can offer predictive power regarding the local control of oropharyngeal or hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OHSCC) patients.
BACKGROUND: The thioredxin reductases 1 (TrxR1) is one of the major antioxidant and redox regulators in mammalian cells. Studies have shown that TrxR1 is over expressed in many malignancy diseases. However, few studies have evaluated the role of TrxR...
To determine the suitability of serum endocan (ESM-1) levels for diagnosing and monitoring renal cell carcinoma (RCC), we measure serum ESM-1 levels in 56 RCC patients who had undergone radical or partial nephrectomies and 56 age- and sex-matched hea...
DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs) are genomic regions that provide important information regarding the presence of transcriptional regulatory elements and the state of chromatin. Therefore, identifying DHSs in uncharacterized DNA sequences is cruci...
