First Admission The patient's blood pressure was found to be 150/ 110 mm Hg, and pelvic exam revealed a large pelvic mass. Intravenous pyelogram showed normal kidneys and collecting system; a pelvic soft tissue mass indented the bladder. Serum potassium was 2.8 mEq/liter, random peripheral plasma renin activity (PRA) was 52 ng angiotensin I (ANG I)/ml/hr (normal upper limit on a low salt diet = 9.1 ng ANG I/ml/hr), and urine vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) was 8.2 mg/24 hr (upper limit of normal = 8 mg/24 hr). An exploratory laparotomy revealed a tumor in the fallopian tube with perito-

متن کاملT\imor Necrosis Factor Acts as a 1\imor Promoter in BALB/3T3 Cell Transformation1
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a cytokine, and okadaic acid, a tumor promoter, strongly phosphorylated the same proteins, vimentin and heat shock protein 27, although their time courses were different. Human TNF-a at a concentration of 0.6 UMmarkedly stimulated transformation of BALB/3T3 cells initiated with 3-methylcholanthrene. The human TNF-a was about 1000 times more effective than the chemic...
متن کاملEvaluating the impact of imputations for missing participant outcome data in a network meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND In a meta-analysis of trials with missing outcome data, a parameter known as informative missing odds ratio (IMOR) can be used to quantify the relationship between informative missingness and a binary outcome. IMORs also account for the increased uncertainty due to missingness in the meta-analysis results. PURPOSE To extend the idea of IMOR into a network meta-analysis (NMA) settin...

A 27-year-old woman with an adrenal tumor that produced renin and aldosterone, associated with hypertension and adrenogenital syndrome, is described. Severe hypertension, cardiomegaly, a low serum potassium level, clinical symptoms of adrenogenital syndrome, and a left upper abdominal tumor also were found. Endocrinologies! studies showed that plasma and urinary levels of sex steroid hormones s...

gen radicals (6, 7), and DNA damage (8). TNF cytotoxicity against tumor cells does not require new RNA or protein synthesis; on the contrary, its activity is considerably enhanced by inhibitors of tran scription or translation (2, 9). However, besides induction of cyto toxic, nucleus-independent processes in the target cell, TNF also leads to specific transcriptional activation, resulting in in...
