Chemical speciation of nucleotide 5′-monophosphates in the presence of biogenic amines
2001
The interaction of adenosine-, uridine-, inosine- and guanosine-5’-monophosphates with protonated ethylenediamine, putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine and spermine, was studied potentiometrically, a...
Imaging of calcified hepatic lesions: spectrum of diseases
2021
Hepatic calcifications have been increasingly identified over the past decade due to the widespread use of high-resolution Computed Tomography (CT) imaging. Calcifications can be seen in a vast spectrum of common and uncommon diseases, from benign to malignant, including cystic lesions, solid neoplastic masses, and inflammatory focal lesions. The purpose of this paper is to present an updated review of CT imaging findings of a wide range of calcified hepatic focal lesions, which can help radiologists to narrow the differential diagnosis.
Calcinosis cutis metastásica
2012
Con el termino calcinosis cutis se engloban un conjunto de trastornos caracterizados por el deposito cutaneo de sales de calcio de forma primaria o secundaria. El diagnostico se confirma histopatologicamente. El pronostico suele ser benigno y el tratamiento debe ser individualizado. A continuacion, presentamos el caso de una paciente pluripatologica remitida al Servicio de Dermatologia por presentar placas subcutaneas bilaterales y simetricas en region pretibial.
X-Ray Diffraction and Multifrequency EPR Study of Radiation-Induced Room Temperature Stable Radicals in Octacalcium Phosphate.
2020
Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) {Ca8H2(PO4)6×5H2O] has attracted increasing attention over the last decade as a transient intermediate to the biogenic apatite for bone engineering and in studies involving the processes of pathological calcification. In this work, OCP powders obtained by hydrolysis of dicalcium phosphate dehydrate were subjected to X- and γ-ray irradiation and studied by means of stationary and pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance at 9, 36 and 94 GHz microwave frequencies. Several types of paramagnetic centers were observed in the investigated samples. Their spectroscopic parameters (components of the g and hyperfine tensors) were determined. Based on the extracted parameters,…
De ediciones y correcciones: Ibn Sāhib al-Salā, Cofrentes y la ruta antigua del río Magro
2008
Ledo Caballero, Antonio C. - Antonio.Ledo@uv.es En 1969, Ambrosio Huici publicó la versión en castellano del al-Mann bi-l-Imāma de Ibn Sāhib al- Salā. En la traducción se identifica un lugar, consignado en la fuente árabe como “Confluencia de los ríos”, con la localidad valenciana de Cofrentes. En el presente artículo intento demostrar lo incorrecto de esta identificación y propongo, a partir de la existencia de una antigua ruta que sigue el curso del río Magro y los datos de distancias ofrecidos por Ibn Salā, su reducción a un paraje ubicado entre las localidades de Requena y Yátova (Valencia). In 1969, Ambrosio Huici published the Spanish translation of al-Mann bi-l-Imāma, by Ibn Sāhib al…
SAHA induces apoptosis in hepatoma cells and synergistically interacts with the proteasome inhibitor Bortezomib.
2007
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors represent a promising group of anticancer agents. This paper shows that the HDAC inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) stimulated at 5-10 microM apoptosis in human hepatoma HepG2 and Huh6 cells, but was ineffective in primary human hepatocytes (PHH). In HepG2 cells SAHA induced the extrinsic apoptotic pathway, increasing the expression of both FasL and FasL receptor and causing the activation of caspase-8. Moreover, SAHA enhanced the level of Bim proteins, stimulated alternative splicing of the Bcl-X transcript with the expression of the proapoptotic Bcl-Xs isoform, induced degradation of Bid into the apoptotic factor t-Bid and dephosphorylat…
Holo-APP and G-protein-mediated signaling are required for sAPPa-induced activation of the Akt survival pathway
2014
International audience; Accumulating evidence indicates that loss of physiologic amyloid precursor protein (APP) function leads to reduced neuronal plasticity, diminished synaptic signaling and enhanced susceptibility of neurons to cellular stress during brain aging. Here we investigated the neuroprotective function of the soluble APP ectodomain sAPPa (soluble APPa), which is generated by cleavage of APP by a-secretase along the non-amyloidogenic pathway. Recombinant sAPPa protected primary hippocampal neurons and SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells from cell death induced by trophic factor deprivation. We show that this protective effect is abrogated in neurons from APP-knockout animals and APP-de…
The dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor PKI-587 enhances sensitivity to cetuximab in EGFR-resistant human head and neck cancer models
2014
Background:Cetuximab is the only targeted agent approved for the treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), but low response rates and disease progression are frequently reported. As the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathways have an important role in the pathogenesis of HNSCC, we investigated their involvement in cetuximab resistance.Methods:Different human squamous cancer cell lines sensitive or resistant to cetuximab were tested for the dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor PF-05212384 (PKI-587), alone and in combination, both in vitro and in vivo.Results:Treatment with PKI-587 enhances sensitivity to cetuximab in vitro, even in the co…
Carcinosarcoma of monoclonal origin arising in a dermoid cyst of ovary: a case report.
2005
Abstract Background Transformation of a cystic benign teratoma of the ovary into a "carcinosarcoma" has very rarely been reported and its histogenetic origin is still debated. Case presentation A case of carcinosarcoma arising from a dermoid cyst is reported. The tumor showed cystic areas delimited by normal squamous epithelium, with transitional areas through dysplastic epithelium to "in situ" and infiltrating squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The sarcomatous component showed compact tissue composed of round cells concentrically arranged around small vessels, spindle, and pleomorphic cells with a high nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio. Positive staining for vimentin, alpha smooth muscle actin and CD1…
Immunocytochemical study of an endometrial diffuse clear cell stromal sarcoma and other endometrial stromal sarcomas
1987
Intermediate filament composition was studied in the following endometrial stromal tumors: low-grade stromal sarcoma (endolymphatic stromal myosis), high-grade stromal sarcoma with an associated adenocarcinoma (collision tumor), diffuse clear cell stromal sarcoma and a mesodermal mixed tumor (carcinosarcoma). The tumor cells of the stromal tumors as well as the mesenchymal elements of the mixed mesodermal tumor were decorated exclusively with antibodies to vimentin. Desmin was not demonstrated in these tumor cells. A biochemical study of the cytoskeletal filaments present in the low-grade stromal sarcoma revealed, in addition to vimentin, beta and gamma actin as seen in normal endometrial s…
