Identification of four genes in endothelial cells whose expression is affected by tumor cells and host immune status--a study in ex vivo-isolated endothelial cells.
A spontaneously metastasizing, well-defined mouse lymphoma was chosen as an in vivo model to study the effect of tumor-host interaction on gene expression in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells. Forty-nine bovine aortic endothelial cell (BAEC) genes, recently isolated by a differential screening approach of a cDNA library enriched for tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) suppressed genes, wer...

متن کاملProspective evaluation of endo venous laser therapy for varicose vein complications. The first report from Iran
ABSTRACT Background: In recent years, the endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) has been proposed to treat the incompetent greater saphenous veins (GSV) to increase patient comfort,and to reduce cost as well as risk. EVLT causes vein wall thickening, luminal contraction and vein fibrosis. The purpose of this article, as the first report from Iran, is to review our experience and ...
