osteosarcoma/dichloromethane

The human T cell lymphotrophic virus type I (HTLV-I) has recently been identified in a T cell lymphoma associated with hypercalcemia and increased bone turnover. Since increased serum concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D have been reported in this disease, we have examined the capacity of

In developing countries, around 80% of the population still resorts on traditional medicine for their primary health care. Erythrina poeppigiana (Walp.) O.F. Cook, one of these medicinal plants, was found to be particularly rich in isoflavonoids which exhibited, individually, significant estrogenic

Bone cells respond to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) for mineral mobilization and contain receptors for 1,25(OH)2D3. We report here the expression of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25 (OH)D3) metabolizing enzymes in primary cultures of human bone cells, as well as n a human osteosarcoma cell line.

In this work, two unsaturated derivatives of polycaprolactone (PCL), polycaprolactone fumarate (PCLF), and polycaprolactone itaconate (PCLI), have been synthesized and used as an infiltrating polymer to improve the mechanical properties of brittle hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds. PCLF and PCLI were
