Genetic polymorphisms of alcohol dehydrogense-1B and aldehyde dehydrogenase-2, alcohol flushing, mean corpuscular volume, and aerodigestive tract neoplasia in Japanese drinkers.

Only registered users can translate articles

Genetic polymorphisms of alcohol dehydrogenase-1B (ADH1B) and aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) modulate exposure levels to ethanol/acetaldehyde. Endoscopic screening of 6,014 Japanese alcoholics yielded high detection rates of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC; 4.1%) and head and neck SCC

Mean corpuscular volume, alcohol flushing, and the predicted risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus in cancer-free Japanese men.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Because some of the causes of increased mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), including alcoholism, acetaldehyde exposure, smoking, and poor nutrition are common to both, macrocytosis has been used as a predictor of early ESCC in Japanese alcoholics.

Validation of Alcohol Flushing Questionnaire to Identify ALDH2 Status in a Case-Control Study of Head and Neck Cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Carriers of the ALDH2*2 allele have impaired alcohol metabolism and are more susceptible to the development of alcohol-related cancers, including head and neck cancer (HNC). Screening for ALDH2*2 allele may identify high-risk individuals for alcohol health education. Although

How Social Reactions to Alcohol-Related Facial Flushing Are Affected by Gender, Relationship, and Drinking Purposes: Implications for Education to Reduce Aerodigestive Cancer Risks.

Only registered users can translate articles

Alcohol-related facial flushing is a sign of compromised alcohol metabolism and increased risk of certain cancers. This project examined how facial flushing might be used to reduce alcohol use to lower cancer risks. Interviews with Chinese university students identified gender, friendship, and

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Gastric cancer remains a major public health issue and is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 600,000 deaths annually. Over the last decades, there has been a steady decline in the incidence rates of gastric cancer. Furthermore, the incidence rates of gastric cancer in

Severe hypertension and flushing in a patient with a non-metastatic carcinoid tumour. Hypertension and flushing with a solitary carcinoid tumour.

Only registered users can translate articles

A case of multiple endocrine adenopathy type I associated with a solitary carcinoid tumour is described. During anaesthesia and characteristic syndrome consisting of hypertension, tachycardia and flushing occurred. The possible mechanism for this are discussed.

An 88-year-old woman with flushing, alopecia and hirsutism and a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour.

Only registered users can translate articles

Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour (SLCT) is a rare, androgen-secreting sex cord-stromal tumour of the ovary that usually occurs in young premenopausal women. The major clinical manifestations are virilisation and defeminisation. The following case describes an 88-year-old G1P1 woman, 40 years after

Prolonged interval in prophylactic heparin flushing for maintenance of subcutaneous implanted port care in patients with cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

The long-term use of subcutaneous implanted ports for chemotherapy in cancer patients has been associated with the occurrence of thrombosis and infection. In this study, we compared the safety and efficacy of administration of 1000 U of heparin flushes in prolonged interval (every 6 weeks) with

Reliability of a flushing questionnaire and the ethanol patch test in screening for inactive aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 and alcohol-related cancer risk.

Only registered users can translate articles

Molecular epidemiology of esophageal and upper aerodigestive tract cancers revealed that alcohol is more carcinogenic in persons with inactive aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) than in those with active ALDH2. A simple questionnaire has been developed to screen for the facial flushing that occurs in

Flushing Out Carcinoid Syndrome: Beneficial Effect of the Anticancer Epigenetic Agent RRx-001 in a Patient with a Treatment-Refractory Neuroendocrine Tumor.

Only registered users can translate articles

Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms defined by the presence of cells with secretory granules and the potential to produce and release high levels of vasoactive peptides into the circulation, leading to severe flushing and diarrhea, which may adversely affect quality of

Endometrial Flushing Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha and Interleukin 2 Levels in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Leiomyoma and Endometrioma: Comparison with Healthy Controls.

Only registered users can translate articles

Introduction An important open question in the literature is whether endometrial receptivity marker levels are different in infertility related diseases than healthy women. The aim of the study is to compare the levels of interleukin two (IL-2) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) during

Comparison between self-reported facial flushing after alcohol consumption and ALDH2 Glu504Lys polymorphism for risk of upper aerodigestive tract cancer in a Japanese population.

Only registered users can translate articles

Some Japanese exhibit facial flushing after drinking alcohol. Facial flushing was considered to be caused by acetaldehydemia. The concentration of blood acetaldehyde was concerned with the catalytic activity of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)-2 polymorphism

Patient-Reported Symptom Control of Diarrhea and Flushing in Patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors Treated with Lanreotide Depot/Autogel: Results from a Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind and 32-Week Open-Label Study.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND In the double-blind (DB) ELECT study, lanreotide depot/autogel significantly reduced versus placebo the need for short-acting octreotide for symptomatic carcinoid syndrome (CS) control in neuroendocrine tumor (NET) patients. Here we present patient-reported symptom data during DB and

Alcohol consumption and bladder cancer risk with or without the flushing response: The Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study.

Only registered users can translate articles

The association between alcohol consumption and bladder cancer risk has been insufficiently investigated in East Asian populations, who frequently have the inactive enzyme for metabolizing acetaldehyde. Given that acetaldehyde associated with alcohol consumption is assessed as a carcinogen,

A 17-year-old male with a Small Bowel Neuroendocrine Tumor: flushing differential diagnosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are heterogeneous neoplasms that originate from cells with a secretory function. Small bowel NETs (SB-NETs) are related to serotonin hypersecretion which causes: flushing, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bronchoconstriction and heart involvement, also known as
