background and objective: vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) is a cytokine which is overexpressed in many malignant cancers including leukemia. vegf plays an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. determination of the pattern of vegf expression in human leukemic cell lines could be useful not only in screening of new antileukemic agents but also to study the mechanism of their ...

Cisplatin represents an important strategy for gastric cancer treatment. However, cisplatin resistance often leads to failure of therapy as well local reoccurrence. Recently, long non-coding ribonucleic acid was demonstrated exert roles in cancer. Expression measured by real time polymerase chain reaction assay cells from different groups. Cell apoptosis checked with Hoechst methods and cell co...

objective: leukemia inhibitory factor (lif) plays important roles in cellular proliferation, growth promotion and differentiation of various types of target cells. in addition, lif influences bone metabolism, cachexia, neural development, embryogenesis and inflammation. human lif (hlif) is an essential growth factor for the maintenance of mouse embryonic stem cells (escs) and induced pluripoten...

maternal leukemia inhibitory factor (lif) is required for successful implanta¬tion in mice, but little is known about its role and expression in human reproduc¬tion. here we report on the pattern of lif mrna expression in 30 samples of previously fertile and 11 infertile human endometrium, 10 samples of previously fertile post-menopausal endometrium and 10 uterine (fallopian) tubes from pre¬vio...

Theoretically the Kohn-Sham band gap differs from the exact quasiparticle energy gap by the derivative discontinuity of the exchange-correlation functional. In practice for semiconductors and insulators the band gap calculated within any local or semilocal density approximations underestimates severely the experimental energy gap. On the other hand, calculations with an "exact" exchange potenti...
