Irinotecan induces steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR) signaling to detoxification pathway in colon cancer cells
Irinotecan induces steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR) signaling to detoxification pathway in colon cancer cells ~ Results: In this study, we have shown that endogenous SXR is activated in response to SN-38, the active metabolite of the anticancer drug irinotecan, in human colon cancer cell lines. We have found that endogenous SXR translocates into the [...]

The bioenergetic signature of isogenic colon cancer cells predicts the cell death response to treatment with 3-bromopyruvate, iodoacetate or 5-fluorouracil
The bioenergetic signature of isogenic colon cancer cells predicts the cell death response to treatment with 3-bromopyruvate, iodoacetate or 5-fluorouracil ~ The bioenergetic signature of the cells was determined by western blotting. Aerobic glycolysis was determined from lactate production rates. The cell death was analyzed by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Cellular ATP concentrations were [...]

The Role of Insulin Resistance and Hyperinsulinemia in Cancer Causation
The Role of Insulin Resistance and Hyperinsulinemia in Cancer Causation ~ This condition has been termed the metabolic syndrome, the insulin resistance syndrome or syndrome X. Key metabolic disturbances include dyslipidemia (low concentrations of HDL cholesterol, and elevated concentrations of triglycerides, VLDL, and small dense LDL), hypertension, chronic inflammation, procoagulation and impaired fibrinolysis [1]. Obesity, [...]

Laparoscopic surgery versus open surgery for colon cancer: short-term outcomes of a randomised trial
Laparoscopic surgery versus open surgery for colon cancer: short-term outcomes of a randomised trial ~ Fifteen years after Muehe first did laparoscopic cholecystectomy, minimally invasive surgery has become the preferred approach for treatment of symptomatic cholecystolithiasis, gastro-esophageal reflux, and morbid obesity [3-6]. Although Jacobs and Verdeja [7] reported a case series on laparoscopic segmental colectomy [...]

Medications for treating alcohol dependence
Medications for treating alcohol dependence ~ Almost one third of Americans consume enough alcohol to be considered at risk for alcohol dependence, and alcohol abuse and dependence are associated with more than 100,000 deaths from alcohol-related diseases and injuries each year. The economic cost of alcohol abuse and dependence was estimated at more than $184 [...]

Nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of sedimentary rocks, Part I: Effect of frequency and strain amplitude
Nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of sedimentary rocks, Part I: Effect of frequency and strain amplitude ~ A material subjected to an external stress deforms in a man- ner determined by the components of the stress tensor and its material properties. For elastic materials, the state of stress is only a function of the current state of [...]

On the potential importance of non-linear viscoelastic material modelling for numerical prediction of brain tissue response: test and application
On the potential importance of non-linear viscoelastic material modelling for numerical prediction of brain tissue response: test and application ~ Assessment of the influence of material non-linearity in a FE head model requires a non-linear constitutive model. In Brands (2002), a non-linear viscoelastic constitutive model is developed on the basis of experimental data presented in [...]
