Abstract Background Cardiac involvement is common in systemic sclerosis (SSc), being a poor prognostic factor and the leading cause of mortality. ranges from serendipitous diagnosis to relevant cardiac manifestations such as arrhythmias, pericardial effusion, myocardial dysfunction, valvular diseases. Case report A 39-year-old female without remarkable medical history, on estroprogestinic thera...

Negative results are reported for five compounds tested against mouse Sarcoma 180. Twelve mice, 18 gm. Rockland and Carworth Farms mice, were used for each test. The tumors were implanted subcutaneously by trocar in the right axilla. When the implants were seven days old the compounds were in jected intraperitoneallytwice a day for seven days. The compounds were tested at the maximum non-lethal...

The effects of dietary-induced acidosis on the growth and rates of complete regression of Sarcoma 180 in mice have been studied. The experiments here reported have demonstrated that mineral acidification of laboratory food produces a late decrease in tumor growth and significantly increases the rates of complete tumor regression. Blood acid-base studies also demonstrate the effects of these die...

The growth rate of Sarcoma 180 and of a mammary adenocarcinoma in potassium deficient mice did not significantly differ from that in pair-fed control mice. The po tassium concentration of these tumors in potassium-deficient mice was the same as in the control mice, although the potassium concentration of muscle and plasma was only half of that in the controls. The in vivo equilibration of K@ in...

The study aims to evaluate the effects of miR-136 on the proliferation, apoptosis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of melanoma cells by targetting premelanosome protein (PMEL) through the Wnt signaling pathway. After establishment of melanoma mouse models, melanoma (model group) and normal tissues (normal group) were collected. Immunohistochemistry was performed to determine PMEL pr...
