The imidazoline compound RX871024 promotes insulinoma cell death independent of AMP-activated protein kinase inhibition
Summary We have previously shown that the insulinotropic imidazoline compound RX871024 induces death of insulinoma MIN6 cells, an effect involving stimulation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and caspase 3. It has also been reported that AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activates JNK and induces β-cell death. Here we show that RX871024, but not another insulinotropic imidazoline compound (BL11282), suppressed AMPK activity in MIN6 cells. The inhibitory effect of RX871024 on AMPK was supported by the observation that the imidazoline induced lipid droplet formation in the cytopla...περισσότερα »

In this study we show that T-bet confers a competitive advantage for the accumulation of IL-23 conditioned Th17 effector cells in the central nervous system (CNS). Impaired migration of T-bet deficient Th17 cells to the CNS is associated with altered expression of adhesion molecules and chemokine receptors on their cell surface. Our data suggest that […]

In conclusion, for some cancers (e.g. pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, leukemia, lymphoma) self‐reported FHC can be considered sufficiently valid to be useful e.g. in preventive counseling. For several cancers, it is not sufficiently studied or the pattern is inconsistent. This needs to be taken into account when using self‐reported information about FHC in clinical practice […]

Thrombin is a potent regulator of brain function in health and disease, modulating glial activation and brain inflammation. Thrombin inhibitors, several of which are in clinical use as anti-coagulants, can reduce thrombin-dependent neuroinflammation in pathological conditions. However, their effects in a healthy CNS are largely unknown. In adult healthy mice, we compared the effects of […]

Laparoscopic repeat hepatectomy after right hepatopancreaticoduodenectomy
Abstract Although laparoscopic hepatectomy is widely accepted for primary hepatectomy, the clinical value of laparoscopic hepatectomy for repeat hepatectomy is still challenging. We herein describe our experience with laparoscopic repeat hepatectomy after right hepatopancreaticoduodenectomy. A 72-year-old woman who had undergone right hepatopancreaticoduodenectomy for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma 31 months prior was diagnosed with liver metastasis in segment 3. We performed laparoscopic repeat hepatectomy. Because mild adhesions in the left side of the abdominal cavity were detect... περισσότερα »
Expression of cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 and 2 (CysLTR1 and CysLTR2) in the lymphocytes of hyperplastic tonsils: comparison between allergic and nonallergic snoring children
Background Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 and 2 (CysLTR1 and CysLTR2) are involved in allergic processes and play a role in adenotonsillar hyperplasia (AH). Clinically, only CysLTR1 may be blocked by montelukast. Our objective was to compare the expression of CysLTR1 and CysLTR2 in the B and T cells of hyperplasic tonsils of sensitized (SE) and control (NS) snoring children. Methods Sixty children, 5 to 10 years of age, referred for adenotonsillectomy, were divided into SE and NS groups, according to their responses to the skin-prick test.

Breast cancer mortality is continuously decreasing,[1] likely because of earlier diagnosis of resectable disease and improvements in management, in particular post-surgical treatments. The choice of these treatments, usually defined as “adjuvant”, relies upon an estimate of the individual risk of locoregional and distant relapse, events that these therapies aim to prevent.[2] Historically, axillary lymph-node dissection […]
