126 Couldwell, William T.Inhibition of growth of established human glioma cell lines by modulators of the protein kinase-C systemThe protein kinase-C (PKC) second messenger system contributes to regulation of cell growth and differentiation. This study was undertaken to examine the effects of modulators of the PKC enzyme system on the state of differentiation and proliferation rates of human gliomas in vitro. The administrat...Protein kinase C; Phorbol ester; Cell proliferation; Tumor cell growth; Astrocyte; Glioma; Immunohistochemistry1990
127 Beckerle, Mary C.Kindler syndrome protein is regulated by Transforming Growth Factor-β and involved in integrin-mediated adhesionTransforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) contributes to tumor invasion and cancer progression by increasing the motility of tumor cells. To identify genes involved in TGF-β-mediated cell migration, the transcriptional profiles of human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) treated with TGF-β were compar...Kindler syndrome; Kindlerin; Talin; Focal adhesions; FERM domain2004

130 Jensen, Randy LynnTreatment-related brain tumor imaging changes: so-called "pseudoprogression" vs. tumor progression: Review and future research opportunitiesBackground: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) has a dismal prognosis despite aggressive therapy. Initial diagnosis and measurement of response to treatment is usually determined by measurement of gadolinium-enhanced tumor volume with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Unfortunately, many GBM treatment mo...2013-01-01
131 Battin, Margaret P.Least worst death: selective refusal of treatmentIn recent years "right-to-die" movements have brought into the public consciousness something most physicians have long known: that in some hopeless medical conditions, heroic efforts to extend life may no longer be humane, and the physician must be prepared to allow the patient to die. Physician re...Death; Dying; Right to die; Natural death1983
132 Chachas, MaryFunction or fun?What motivates us to 'Get Movin' depends on age. Regular physical activity greatly reduces the risk of dying from coronary heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. Physical activity also reduces the risk of developing diabetes, hypertension, and colon cancer, enhances mental h...Motion; Physical Activity; Exercise2000-03
133 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineRandom lasing in human tissuesA random collection of scatterers in a gain medium can produce coherent laser emission lines dubbed "random lasing." We show that biological tissues, including human tissues, can support coherent random lasing when infiltrated with a concentrated laser dye solution. To extract a typical random reson...Random lasing; Gain medium; Human tissues; Malignant tissues2004
134 Frazer, John K.Rituximab with chemotherapy in children and adolescents with central nervous system and/or bone marrow-positive Burkitt lymphoma/leukaemia: a childrens oncology group reportApproximately 1 in 4 children and adolescents with de-novo mature and Burkitt lymphoma (BL) present with high-risk disease that is either mature B-cell leukaemia (bone marrow ≥ 25% blasts [BM]) and/or have central nervous system (CNS) involvement. Both the Berlin-Frankfurt- Münster (BFM) and Fre...2014-01-01

136 Zick, Cathleen D.Family, frailty, and fatal futures? Own-health and family-health predictors of subjective life expectancySubjective life expectancy is a powerful predictor of a variety of health and economic behaviors. This research expands upon the life expectancy literature by examining the influence of familial health histories. Using a genetic/environmental model, we hypothesize that individuals' assessments of th...2014-01-01
137 Sample, SusanHigh impactFrom 1993-97, Gilbert contributed to seven articles published in top peer-reviewed journals, which were then cited 1,157 times, or an average of 165.3 times per paper. When Gilbert heard the news, "it kind of blew me away." He acknowledged that the articles, clinical trials of new drugs to treat chr...Chronic Heart Failure; ACE Inhibitors; Beta -Blockers2000-03
138 Mitchell, Joyce A.Retrieval from full-text medical literature: the dream & the realityWhile the retrieval of the full-text of a document might seem to end all the hassle of using traditional retrieval systems, the results of the MEDLINE/Full-Text Project indicate that retrieval from the current full-text databases of biomedical journal literature does not match the dream. During the ...1991-01-01
139 Capecchi, Mario R.Personal view of gene targetingGene targeting provides the means for creating strains of mice with mutations in virtually any gene.1 First, the desired mutation is introduced into a cloned copy of the chosen gene by standard recombinant DNA technology. The mutation is then transferred to the genome of a pluripotent mouse embryo-d...1995
140 Mitchell, Joyce A.Predicting phenotypic severity of uncertain gene variants in the RET Proto-OncogeneAlthough reported gene variants in the RET oncogene have been directly associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 and hereditary medullary thyroid carcinoma, other mutations are classified as variants of uncertain significance (VUS) until the associated clinical phenotype is made clear. Cur...2011-01-01
141 Schmidt, Meic H.Titanium cage-assisted polymethylmethacrylate reconstruction for cervical spinal metastasisReconstruction and stabilization of the cervical spine after vertebrectomy is an important goal in the surgical management of spinal metastasis.
