a man with metastatic carcinoma of the colon had a bone scan which revealed urinary retention in the leftkidney. ten months later, a tc-99m-dtpa renai glomerular study showed the left kidney to have only 8% oftotal renal function. fifteen months after that, (he same kidney demonstrated 9% of total function, while theright kidney had evolving obstruction due to his neoplasm. the case shows that ...

objective(s)   although photodynamic therapy is considered as a noninvasive method, most photosensitizers are susceptible to  ultrasound.  therefore,  it  is  expected  that  the  combination of  two  activation  methods  might  have  a synergistic effect. this probable effect has been investigated in this study.   materials and methods   this  study  was  conducted  on  colon  carcinoma  tumor...

This paper presents four cases of abnormal soft tissue activity in the bone scan of patients with different lesions (lung inflammatory pseudotumor, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma and metastatic hepatic carcinoma of colon).

zn (ii) is an important regulator of caspase-3, as well as an antioxidant, microtubule stabilizer, growth cofactor, and anti-inflammatory agent. over the past 30 years, many researchers have demonstrated the important role of zn (ii) in a variety of physiological processes, including growth and development, maintenance and priming of the immune system, and in tissue repair and regeneration. in ...

Frizzled-related protein (FRZB) was up-regulated in hepatic metastasis samples compared with primary colon cancer samples in our previous work. However, the clinical relevance of FRZB in colon cancer hepatic metastasis remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value of FRZB in patients with colon carcinoma hepatic metastasis after hepatic resection. FRZB expression w...
