BACKGROUND Diabetes is known to impair the number and function of endothelial progenitor cells in the circulation, causing structural and functional alterations in the micro- and macro-vasculature. The aim of this study was to identify early diabetes-related changes in the expression of genes that have been reported to be closely involved in endothelial progenitor cell migration and function. ...

Background. Impaired endothelial function is a predictor of cardiovascular events. Orange juice (OJ) is rich in dietary flavonoids and could inhibit oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. We examined the effects of commercial (COJ) and fresh orange juice (FOJ) on endothelial function and physiological characteristics in healthy humans. Materials and Methods. Twenty-two healthy volunteers ...

Dengue virus (DV) is an important re-emerging arthropod-borne virus of global significance. The defining characteristic of DV infection-associated pathology is haemorrhagic fever, which often leads to a fatal shock-like syndrome (DHF/DSS) owing to an increase in vascular endothelial permeability. Here, we show, in a viral dose-dependent manner, that DV-infected immature dendritic cells overprod...

Inductive learning systems search for regularities that therefore be applied with some assurance to an example describe environmental observations, These systems often use which does not belong to the learning set. In other numeri~~l heu~stics to guide this search, The~ also sele~t words, statistical significance may be used to assess regulantles which are good, or the best, according to certai...

PURPOSE To investigate the impact of prostate cancer cell surface glycosylation as part of the tumor cell-endothelial cell interaction in prostate cancer metastasis. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Glycosyltransferase expression was profiled in metastasis-derived prostate cancer cell lines and compared with primary epithelium. Prostate cancer cells were examined for HPA- and selectin-binding and adhesion...

OBJECTIVE The molecular basis of failure to progress in labor is poorly understood. This study was undertaken to characterize the myometrial transcriptome of patients with an arrest of dilatation (AODIL). STUDY DESIGN Human myometrium was prospectively collected from women in the following groups: (1) spontaneous term labor (TL; n=29) and (2) arrest of dilatation (AODIL; n=14). Gene expressio...

BACKGROUND The inflammatory response triggered by cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a primary mechanism in the pathogenesis of postoperative myocardial infarction (PMI), a multifactorial disorder with significant inter-patient variability poorly predicted by clinical and procedural factors. We tested the hypothesis that candidate gene polymorphisms in inflammatory pathways co...

Testicular feminization syndrome (TFS) represents a well-defined form of male pseudohermaphroditism. The patients are of female legal sex. The habitus is completely and often attractively feminine, with well-developed breasts. There is absence of axillary and pubic hair. The external genitalia are female but with a blind vagina. At laparotomy the uterus and Fallopian tubes are found to be absen...
