 | Metastasis of murine mammary tumour lines from the mammary gland and ectopic sites. |  Bottom Line: Line T5 was weakly metastatic, capable of a minor degree of lung colonization in 8% of hosts, while line WT2 failed to establish any grossly or histologically detectable pulmonary foci.Subcutaneous metastatic frequency of one tumour line was significantly reduced... | Unemori EN, Ways N, Pitelka DR - Br.

 | Clinical correlates of in vitro drug sensitivities of ovarian cancer cells. |  Bottom Line: Of 89 samples of cancer cells from ovarian cancer patients primary cultures representative of the cancer cell population could be established in 17.Full agreement was observed between the degree of thymidine uptake inhibition induced by at least one of the... | Morasca L, Erba E, Vaghi M, Ghelardoni C, et al. - Br.

 | Primary ciliogenesis defects are associated with human astrocytoma/glioblastoma cells. | Figure 5: A primary cilium in the latter stages of ciliogenesis in U-87 MG cells. Electron micrograph showing well formed microtubule doublets (arrows) with normal spacing between doublets in longitudinal section. Scale bar = 100 nm.Bottom Line: Importantly, we document that in each of the five astrocytoma/glioblastoma cell lines fully formed primary cilia are either expressed at a very low level, are completely absent or have aberrant forms, due to incomplete ciliogenesis.The recent discovery of the... | Moser JJ, Fritzler MJ, Rattner JB - BMC Cancer (2009) |

 | Phytic Acid Exposure Alters AflatoxinB1-induced Reproductive and Oxidative Toxicity in Albino Rats (Rattus... | Figure 4: Section shows degeneration in the somniferous tubules (D) with absence of spermatozoa after 3 days of AFB1 injection. H & E × 10.Bottom Line: The effects of AFB1 treatment on the absolute and relative weight of testis as well as its histopathologic effect on the testis and the possibility of amelioration by IP6 treatment were evaluated.A decrease in sex hormone levels, an increase in testicular lipid... | Abu El-Saad AS, Mahmoud HM - Evid Based Complement Alternat Med (2007) |

 | A novel disulfide-rich protein motif from avian eggshell membranes. | pone-0018187-g001: Fluorescence microscopy of chicken ESMs.The main panel shows reduced ESM labeled with monobromobimane (see Methods; the bar is 10 microns long). Membranes that were not pre-reduced with DTT do not show significant fluorescence when treated with monobromobimane...Bottom Line: In this work, reductive alkylation of ESM followed by proteolytic digestion led to the identification of a cysteine rich ESM protein (abbreviated CREMP) that was similar to spore coat protein SP75 from cellular slime molds.Comparable CREMP proteins are found... | Kodali VK, Gannon SA, Paramasivam S, Raje S, et al. - PLoS ONE (2011) |

 | Detection of inflammatory bowel disease: diagnostic performance of cross-sectional imaging modalities. | Fig3: A 25-year-old female patient with known CD of the terminal ileum. A US image shows a large abscess (arrowheads) that was located ventrally and cranially of the bladder. B US image shows a fistula (arrowheads) that originated from the abscess.Bottom Line: Different cross-sectional imaging techniques can be used as a diagnostic tool for the evaluation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).In this report the diagnostic performances of ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography in the detection... | Horsthuis K, Stokkers PC, Stoker J - Abdom Imaging (2008 Jul-Aug) |

 | Laparoscopic duodenojejunostomy for superior mesenteric artery syndrome. | Figure 3: Placing the dilated duodenum and jejunum together to facilitate anastomosis.Bottom Line: About 15 causal factors have been found.Conservative management is useful only in acute cases.Duodenojejunostomy is the procedure of choice and is effective in 90% of patients.We conclude that it is very effective in this condition, especially laparoscopically. | Palanivelu C, Rangarajan M, Senthilkumar R, et al. - JSLS (2006 Oct-Dec) |

 | Nav1.7 is the predominant sodium channel in rodent olfactory sensory neurons. | Figure 2: Nav1.7 mRNA expression in olfactory epithelium using in situ hybridization. In situ hybridization signal is exhibited by olfactory sensory neurons (OSN) in the olfactory epithelium. Sustentacular cells (SC) do not express Nav1.7 mRNA signal above background...Bottom Line: Voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7 is preferentially expressed in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and sympathetic neurons within the peripheral nervous system.Our in situ hybridization data show that Nav1.7 transcripts are present in rat OSNs.Immunostaining of... | Ahn HS, Black JA, Zhao P, Tyrrell L, Waxman SG, et al. - Mol Pain (2011) |

 | Diaphragmatic hernia: an uncommon cause of dyspepsia. | Figure 3: Laparoscopic view showed herniation of spleen, stomach, part of small bowel and splenic flexure of colon through the diaphragmatic defect.Bottom Line: Blunt thoracic and abdominal trauma associated with a 5% to 7% incidence of diaphragmatic injury, and in 3% to 15% for those with penetrating injury.Traditionally, diaphragmatic hernia is repaired by laparotomy or thoracotomy, or both.Operative approach and... | Yang GP, Tang CN, Siu WT, Ha JP, Tai YP, Li MK - JSLS (2005 Jul-Sep) |
