Open AccessThe impact of overweight on lipid phenotype in different forms of dyslipidemia: a retrospective cohort study
Dyslipidemia plays a pivotal role in increasing cardiovascular risk. In clinical practice the misleading association between altered lipid profile and obesity is common, therefore genetically inherited dyslipi...

Reliable response of RF MEMS LTCC packaged switches after mechanical and thermal stress
Space components need a ground characterization based on several solicitations, including mechanical and thermal stress, before their final qualification. In this paper, RF MEMS switches designed for redundanc...

Primary HIV-1 infection of human CD4+ T cells passaged into SCID mice leads to selection of chronically infected cells through a massive Fas-mediated autocrine suicide of uninfected cells
We have recently shown that a human CD4+ T cell line (CEM-SS) acquires the permissiveness to M-tropic strains and primary isolates of HIV-1 after transplantation into SCID mice. This permissiveness was associa...

MRS Studies on Experimental Tumours Treated with TNF
Imaging-guided localized 31P MRS (4.7 tesla) were utilized to assess and monitor metabolic alterations induced by murine TNF-ß on solid tumours obtained by s.c. injection of Friend leukaemia cells in syngeneic mi...

31P Magnetic Resonance Studies of Cytokine-Induced Alterations in Tumor Cells Transplanted into Syngeneic Mice
By monitoring in real time metabolic intermediates and reaction fluxes in intact tissues, localized magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) opens new perspectives for the early detection of tumor response to the...

Mechanisms of Combined IL-1/IL-2 and IL-1/IFN Therapy in Mice Injected with Metastatic Tumor Cells
Several studies have recently shown that the combined treatment of tumor-bearing animals with multiple cytokines results in a more potent antitumor effect than single cytokine therapy (1–9).

Studies on the expression of H-2 antigens in non-metastatic and highly metastatic Friend erythroleukemia cells: correlation with thein vivo behaviour of tumor cells
The levels of expression of histocompatibility antigens on the cell membrane and their gene expression in non-metastatic and in highly metastatic Friend leukemia cells (FLC) were measured and the levels of exp...

Studies on the Expression of Spontaneous Interferon-Like Activity in Mouse Peritoneal Cells
Macrophages exert important functions in non specific natural resistance to virus infections (1–3). Several animal viruses do not multiply in macrophages when these cells are first placed in culture suggesting...

Interferon and Tumor Necrosis Factor Alter the Phospholipid Metabolism in Friend Leukemia Cell Tumors in Mice
Interferon (IFN) has been shown to inhibit the growth of different tumors in experimental animals (reviewed in 1 and 2) and it is currently used to treat some patients with cancer in clinical trials. However t...
