carney’s complex is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome that involves spotty skin pigmentations, recurrent cardiac myxomas, endocrine hyperactivity, pituitary adenomas, peripheral nerve tumors, testicular tumors, and ovarian lesions. we present a case of sudden cardiac death in a 40 year old female with a history of carney’s complex with recurrent cardiac...

PURPOSE Although most patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer benefit from endocrine therapies, a significant proportion do not. Our aim was to identify inherited genetic variations that might predict survival among patients receiving adjuvant endocrine therapies. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We performed a meta-analysis of two genome-wide studies; Helsinki Breast Cancer Study, 805...

Although prognostic markers for early estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer have been extensively developed, predictive markers for adjuvant endocrine therapy are still lacking. Focusing on the mechanisms underlying endocrine resistance, we investigated whether the endocrine sensitivity of ER-positive breast cancer cells was correlated with the expression of aspartate-β-hydroxylase (ASP...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a simple ubiquitous signaling molecule and plays important roles in almost every biological system. Recent evidences suggest that NO may act as an endocrine molecule. The aim of this review is considering available literature on endocrine roles of NO and/or its metabolites, i.e. nitrite and nitrate. Existing data suggest the idea that NO is a hormone that after production i...

The estrogenic effects of endocrine disrupting compounds in fish are not reversible and can reduce populations. Sensitive methods such as Q-PCR, Western blot, etc., have been used to determine changes in gene expression and this predict the effects before they become irreversible. The present study was designed to detect the expression of the estrogen receptors vitellogenin and pregnane X indic...

Terapi endokrin masih menjadi terapi utama kanker payudara reseptor estrogen positif; tetapi sampai dengan 50% pasien akan mengalami kekambuhan yang umumnya dikenal resistensi didapat. Salah satu untuk mengatasi tersebut adalah penghambat CDK4/6. Penghambat CDK4/6 dalam kombinasi tidak hanya efektif hormon positif, HER2 negatif progresif setelah endokrin, juga awal berbasis endokrin.
 Endo...
