Microsomal enzyme preparations from dog liver, kidney, and bladder were used to assess the prostaglandin H synthasecatalyzed activation of carcinogenic aromatic amines to bind covalently to proteins and nucleic acids. Benzidine, a urinary bladder carcinogen, bound to protein of bladder transitional epithelial and renal inner and outer medullary microsomes and was dependent upon addition of arac...

Tumor development is angiogenesis dependent, and vascular endothe 11*1 growth factor (VEGF) is a key growth factor in this process. We demonstrate that high expression of VEGF mRNA in 55 superficIal blad der cancers was associated with earlier recurrence (P = 0.001; hazard ratio, 3.09) and progression to a more invasive phenotype (P = 0.02; hazard ratio, 533). VEGF mRNA expression correlated wi...

The lack of antifungal drugs with novel modes of action reaching the clinic is a serious concern. Recently a novel antifungal protein referred to as Blad-containing oligomer (BCO) has received regulatory approval as an agricultural antifungal agent. Interestingly its spectrum of antifungal activity includes human pathogens such as Candida albicans, however, its mode of action has yet to be eluc...

The cause for the development of endophytic growth (nodular downgrowth) in rat urinary bladder epithelia cul tured in protein-free medium was traced to a deficiency of Ca in the culture medium. Endophytic growth, which is a characteristic in vivo histolÃ3gica! feature of the preneoplastic phase of experimental bladder cancer, was induced in vitro by 0.3 mm Ca2" but was suppressed by 1.8 rriM Ca...

The main objective of this study was to describe Holstein neonatal growth and development as influenced by dietary zinc supplementation and the CD18 genotype, both of which may affect immune competence. Holstein calves (n = 421), after being fed colostrum, were brought to a calf facility, randomly assigned to one of four zinc supplementation groups (control at 40 mg Zn/kg DM or the control diet...

We have established four human bladder tumor cultures, designated MGH-U1 to -U4 (also known as EJ, HM, RN, and RB in some previous reports). All have been grown in culture for over 30 passages and were free of Mycoplasma contamination. Characterizations of these cell lines were performed. These include isozyme profile, morphology with light and scanning electron microscopes, karyotype, growth r...

background: in this study, specific measures of extended nursing services and its values on patients with bladder cancer after endoscopic bladder electrosection were examined. methods:   sixty-six patients diagnosed with bladder cancer in laiwu people's hospital(no. 001, xueyehu street, changshao road, laiwu, shandong, china) between february 2012 and february 2014, and underwent endoscopic bla...
