Open AccessMutations inhibiting KDM4B drive ALT activation in ATRX-mutated glioblastomas
Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT) is a telomere maintenance pathway utilised in 15% of cancers. ALT cancers are strongly associated with inactivating mutations in ATRX; yet loss of ATRX alone is insuffic...

Open AccessCollapsin response mediator protein-1 (CRMP1) acts as an invasion and metastasis suppressor of prostate cancer via its suppression of epithelial–mesenchymal transition and remodeling of actin cytoskeleton organization
The cancer cells can acquire migration and invasion capacities during the metastasis process through the developmental regulatory program epithelial–mesenchymal-transition (EMT), and through its reverse proces...

Orphan nuclear receptor estrogen-related receptor-β suppresses in vitro and in vivo growth of prostate cancer cells via p21WAF1/CIP1 induction and as a potential therapeutic target in prostate cancer
Recent studies indicate that estrogen-related receptors (ERRs) are involved in similar estrogen receptor (ER) regulatory pathways and play roles in energy and lipid metabolism. Here, we analysed the functional...

Prostate targeting: PSP94 gene promoter/enhancer region directed prostate tissue-specific expression in a transgenic mouse prostate cancer model
To date, only a few prostate-specific vector genes have been tested for prostate targeting in gene therapy of prostate cancer (CaP). Current clinical trials of gene therapy of CaP utilize the only two availabl...

H-type tracheo-oesophageal fistula: appearance on three-dimensional computed tomography and virtual bronchoscopy
H-type tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TOF) is a rare type of fistula without oesophageal atresia. The symptoms are usually present at birth, but the diagnosis is often delayed. Traditionally, contrast oesophago...

Abolition of endothelium-dependent relaxation in the rat aorta by tetraoctylammonium ions
Quaternary ammonium ions are common pharmacological probes used to study the kinetic properties of K+ channels in smooth muscle cells. On the other hand, some ammonium compounds cause vasorelaxation through unkn...

Glycoconjugates of the Rat Ciliary Body Epithelium: A Lectin Histochemical and Protein Blotting Study
The present study sought to identify and partially characterize the glycoconjugates specific to the double-layered ciliary body epithelium of the rat eye by lectin histochemistry and lectin blottings. Hydrated...

Renal metastasis from choriocarcinoma: MRI appearance
Choriocarcinoma is the most malignant tumor of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. It grows rapidly and metastasizes to the lung, liver, and, less frequently, to the brain. Renal involvement is rare. Magneti...

Hyaluronan and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans are colocalized to the ciliary zonule of the rat eye: a histochemical and immunocytochemical study
In previous studies, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans have been localized to the periphery of the zonular fibers and the individual zonular fibrils (or microfibrils) after Cuprolinic blue staining in conjunc...

Paediatric thymoma: Unusual occurrence in two siblings
Invasive cystic thymoma is reported in two siblings (an 11-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy) and the radiographic, CT and ultrasonographic features are described. The tumours were removed by thoracotomy. Fam...

Dystrophic intracranial calcification: CT evidence of ‘cerebral steal’ from arteriovenous malformation
Two cases of dystrophic intracranial calcification due to arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are reported. The characteristic distribution is in the watershed areas and away from the AVM. Deposition of calcium ...

Diagnosis and evaluation of esophageal atresia by direct sagittal CT
Direct sagittal CT is possible in newborns because of their small body-size. With this noninvasive investigation, we were able to establish a correct diagnosis in two neonates with esophageal atresia. Moreover...
