A colonoscopy revealed no significant findings.
Lack of promoter mutations in melanomas with extensive regression
Lack of promoter mutations in melanomas with extensive regression: To the Editor: The recently discovered TERT promoter mutations have been shown to play an important role in melanoma pathogenesis.1 These mutations imply an increased gene expression, with the restoration of telomerase activity and the stabilization of telomeres length.2 Interestingly, some authors have described absence of telomerase activity and shortening of telomeres in regressing swine melanoma cell lines.3 Therefore, although most studies have focused on immunologic response to explain spontaneous regression, t... περισσότερα »

Carbamylated LL-37 as a modulator of the immune response
Carbamylated LL-37 as a modulator of the immune response: Carbamylation of lysine residues and protein *N*-termini is an ubiquitous, non-enzymatic post-translational modification. Carbamylation at sites of inflammation is due to cyanate formation during the neutrophil oxidative burst and may target lysine residues within the antimicrobial peptide LL-37. The bactericidal and immunomodulatory properties of LL-37 depend on its secondary structure and cationic nature, which are conferred by arginine and lysine residues. Therefore, carbamylation may affect the biological functions of LL... περισσότερα »

Pharmaceutics, Vol. 8, Pages 4: Microarray Analysis of Differentially-Expressed Genes Encoding CYP450 and Phase II Drug Metabolizing Enzymes in Psoriasis and Melanoma
Cytochrome P450 drug metabolizing enzymes are implicated in personalized medicine for two main reasons. First, inter-individual variability in CYP3A4 expression is a confounding factor during cancer treatment. Second, inhibition or induction of CYP3A4 can trigger adverse drug–drug interactions. However, inflammation can downregulate CYP3A4 and other drug metabolizing enzymes and lead to altered metabolism of drugs and essential vitamins and lipids. Little is known about effects of inflammation on expression of CYP450 genes controlling drug metabolism in the skin. Therefore, we ana... περισσότερα »

Abstract Lesion-induced cochlear damage can result in synaptic outgrowth in the ventral cochlear nucleus (VCN). Tinnitus may be associated with the synaptic outgrowth and hyperactivity in the VCN. However, it remains unclear how hearing loss triggers structural synaptic modifications in the VCN of rats subjected to salicylate-induced tinnitus. To address this issue, we evaluated tinnitus-like […]

Cytochrome P450 drug metabolizing enzymes are implicated in personalized medicine for two main reasons. First, inter-individual variability in CYP3A4 expression is a confounding factor during cancer treatment. Second, inhibition or induction of CYP3A4 can trigger adverse drug–drug interactions. However, inflammation can downregulate CYP3A4 and other drug metabolizing enzymes and lead to altered metabolism of drugs […]

Purpose MR measurements from an echo-planar imaging (EPI) sequence produce Nyquist ghost artifacts that originate from inconsistencies between odd and even echoes. Several reconstruction algorithms have been proposed to reduce such artifacts, but most of these methods require either additional reference scans or multipass EPI acquisition. This article proposes a novel and accurate single-pass EPI […]

Ultrasound of the sentinel node in melanoma patients: echo-free island is a discriminatory morphologic feature for node positivity.
Unlike breast and thyroid cancer, the use of ultrasound (US)-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for preoperative staging is limited in melanoma. New US morphology criteria have shown that US-FNAC can correctly identify 50% of all involved sentinel nodes (SN) in melanoma patients before surgical excision. The aim of this study was to examine a new criterion: the echo-free island (EFI).
