disseminated intravascular coagulation/tyrosine

In severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), systemic inflammation leads to endothelial dysfunction and activation of coagulation. Thrombotic disorders in acute pancreatitis (AP) include disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Recently, angiopoietin-2 and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1)

Sunitinib is an increasingly used, orally administered targeted therapy, approved by the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of various types of cancer, including gastrointestinal stromal tumor unresectable or metastatic disease, following disease progression or intolerance to imatinib, and

Muscle protein degradation and intracellular protease activities were investigated in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), which is frequently associated with severe catabolic states such as sepsis and multiple organ failure. DIC was introduced in rats by repeated intravenous thrombin

A 58-year-old male with the chronic phase of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), treated with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), bosutinib, since the past two years, presented with bright red bleeding per rectum and disseminated intravascular coagulation. A bone marrow biopsy reverse

A radioimmunoassay for fibrinopeptide A (FPA) has been developed. This assay uses rabbit antibodies induced by injection of native FPA-human serum albumin conjugates and 125I introduced into tyrosine-FPA synthesized in out laboratory. Plasma FPA is separated from fibrinogen by TCA extraction. The

Although gefitinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been shown a significant activity for recurrent non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), its long-term adverse effect with its continuous usage has hitherto not been clearly elucidated. Subjects were 108 consecutive

The effects of activated platelet (Plt) on muscle degradation were investigated, employing the in vivo disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) model induced by thrombin injection and the in vitro tissue culture system of skeletal muscles in rats. Both the release of tyrosine and leucine into

We report the genetic abnormalities in the protein C genes of a Spanish child with neonatal purpura fulminans and disseminated intravascular coagulation, associated with undetectable protein C levels. Direct sequencing of the nine protein C gene exons and their splice junctions indicated that the

A 72-year-old man was diagnosed with right renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with multiple brain and lung metastases (cT3aN0M1). He underwent γ-knife treatment for brain metastases, palliative right renal artery embolization for primary RCC, and interferon- alpha treatment for residual lung metastases.

There is currently no effective treatment for the Ebola virus (EBOV) thus far. Most drugs and vaccines developed to date have not yet been approved for human trials. Two FDA-approved c-AbI1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors Gleevec and Tasigna block the release of viral particles; however, their clinical

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of Fms-Like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations including internal tandem duplication (ITD) of juxtamembrane region and point mutation in the second tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and its clinical significance. METHODS Bone

The Fps/Fes tyrosine kinase has been implicated in the regulation of hematopoiesis and inflammation. Mice expressing an activated variant of Fps/Fes (MFps) encoded by a gain-of-function mutant transgenic fps/fes allele (fps(MF)) exhibited hematological phenotypes, which suggested that Fps/Fes can

Although it has been suggested that some biological activities of platelet-activating factor (PAF) are mediated by, at least in part, reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI), the precise mechanisms underlying the interaction between the two remains to be elucidated. Antioxidants, such as

BACKGROUND Sunitinib, an oral multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is widely used in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumor and has had a variety of adverse events. However, sunitinib-related acute cholecystitis has been reported in only two patients with

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have shown promising clinical activity in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that harbors ALK rearrangement. The next-generation ALK-TKI, alectinib, has been reported to have potent efficacy in ALK-positive NSCLC
