Objective: To evaluate the ability of pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), and hypoxia induciblefactor-1α (HIF-1α) expression in predicting the clinical response after radiation in patients with cervical cancer.Methods: A prospective cohort was carried on in Department of Obstetric and
Group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)α), which preferentially cleaves arachidonic acid from phospholipids, plays a role in apoptosis and tissue injury. Downstream signals in response to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, a mediator of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, involve
Neuron-enriched cultures from embryonic rat cerebral cortex were exposed to hypoxia and hypoglycemia, and the resulting cellular injury was quantified by measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, which was maximal after 20-24 h. The increase in LDH release produced by hypoxia/hypoglycemia was
OBJECTIVE
Hypoxia has predictive value in head and neck cancer (HNC). It has been well described, albeit in a small number of clinical Centres. The aim of this study was to describe our experience using the polarographic probe technique to assess the predictive value of tumour oxygenation in
OBJECTIVE
The prognostic impact of anemia in cervical cancers is well established. We have investigated the impact of anemia on prognosis and patterns of relapse in cervical cancers. Furthermore, we analyzed the relationship between anemia, tumor hypoxia, and angiogenesis.
METHODS
Eighty-seven
BACKGROUND
Global hypoxia may affect regions of the neonatal heart during systole and diastole differently.
OBJECTIVE
In the first study, the aim was to assess longitudinal myocardial function in newborn pigs during global hypoxia and recovery. In the second study, invasive hemodynamic data were
BACKGROUND
Survivin is strongly overexpressed in the vast majority of cancers. Initial investigations suggest a role for Survivin in radiation resistance. In this study, we investigate the effect of Survivin expression on clinical outcome and its relationship to tumor oxygenation parameters,
OBJECTIVE
High linear energy transfer (LET) particles are believed to decrease tumor radiation resistance originating from hypoxia. However, no proof of this effect has been provided by clinical trials and related clinical research. Hence, we investigated the radiation biological aspects of high LET
It was known that preconditioning hypoxia can reduce the damage caused by ischemia. However, there was no study investigating the effects of intermittent hypoxia post ischemia. The purpose of this study was to investigate the time window for administering the hypoxia for beneficial effects after
BACKGROUND
The p53 protein is involved in the regulation of initiation of apoptosis. In vitro, p53-deficient cells do not respond to hypoxia with apoptosis as do p53-normal cells, and this may lead to a relative growth advantage of cells without a functioning p53 under hypoxia. On the basis of this
Hypothermia during calcium-free perfusion of hearts protects them from injury caused by subsequent calcium repletion at 37 C (calcium paradox). Injury to calcium-free hearts is also associated with contracture caused by anoxia, 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), or caffeine. This study was done for the
At early life, the adrenal chromaffin cells respond with a catecholamine surge under hypoxic conditions. This response depends on Ca(2+) entry through voltage-activated calcium channels (VACCs). We have investigated here three unresolved questions that concern this response in rat embryo chromaffin
Induction of chemical anoxia, using sodium azide in cerebellar granule cells maintained in primary culture, was evaluated as an in vitro assay for screening of potential neuroprotective compounds. The purpose of this study was to evaluate sodium azide as an alternative to cyanide salts, compounds
Experimental tumors contain a significant fraction of microregions that are chronically or transiently hypoxic. Experimental evidence showing that hypoxia (and subsequent reoxygenation) may have a profound impact on malignant progression and on responsiveness to therapy is growing. The clinical
Nutrients can structure communities by influencing both plant interactions and plant herbivore interactions, though rarely do studies integrate these processes. In this study we examined how nitrogen fertilization influenced (1) the positive interaction between the marsh elder, Iva frutescens, and
