BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis is a disease of great importance in clinical practice, defined as an inflammatory process of the pancreas that may involve local tissues or affect other organs in a systemic manner, requiring, in such cases, an intensive care. AIM To analyze the simplified stratification system of the PANC 3 score, correlating it with the Ranson score, for the prognostic definiti...

Curcumin, a phenolic compound extracted from Zingiberaceae turmeric, has strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antitumor properties. However, the anticarcinogenic mechanism of curcumin has yet to be fully elucidated. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is involved in the promotion of tumor invasion and metastasis, and is closely related ...

Among the most important signaling pathways operating in pancreatic cancer cells are those resulting from mutations in the Ras oncogene or from overexpression of ErbB-2 and associated Src-family kinases. In this study, we aimed to characterize CHK expression and function in pancreatic cancer. Our data demonstrated CHK expression in human pancreatic cancer tissues, and also showed that CHK assoc...

in order to determine the best growing media for gerbera jamesonii under alkaline conditions, a factorial experiment was conducted with two factors, namely: (i) growing medium, and (ii) concentrations of bicarbonate (nahco3) in nutrient solution. results showed that increasing the concentration of nahco3 from 0 to 40 mm in nutrient solution significantly decreased plant growth, maximal quantum ...

Intrinsic drug resistance of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) warrants studies using models that are more clinically relevant for identifying novel resistance mechanisms as well as for drug development. Tumor spheroids (TS) mimic in vivo tumor conditions associated with multicellular resistance and represent a promising model for efficient drug screening, however, pancreatic cancer cells...

PURPOSE Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive human malignancy that is generally refractory to chemotherapy. Histone deacetylase inhibitors are novel agents that modulate cell growth and survival. In this study, we sought to determine whether a relatively new histone deacetylase inhibitor, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), inhibits pancreatic cancer cell growth. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The eff...

In the title compound, 2C(6)H(9)BNO(2) (+)·SO(4) (2-), the dihydroxy-boryl group of one of the two independent boronic acid mol-ecules participates in (B)O-H⋯O(B) and N-H⋯O(B) hydrogen bonds, while the second is involved mainly in the formation of the charge-assisted heterodimeric synthon -B(OH)(2)⋯(-)O(2)SO(2) (-). These aggregates are further connected through N-H⋯O(sulfate) inter-actions, fo...

Nerve growth factor (NGF) exerts both stimulatory and inhibitory effects on neuronal and certain nonneuronal tumors with the effect based on the type of tumor. We investigated NGF and its receptors (TrkA and p75) in pancreatic cancer cells (PANC-1, MIA-PaCa-2, CAPAN-1, ASPC-1, and T3M4) by reverse transcription-PCR, Western blot analysis, NGF ELISA, and growth assays. NGF mRNA was present at co...
