Interactions between life stress factors and carrying the APOE4 allele adversely impact self-reported health in old adults.
(The Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, 2011-10)
Based on the multiple logistic regression analysis of data from a random sample of
1,023 old adults collected in Taiwan in 2000, we found that interactions between carrying
the APOE4 allele and one of four life stress factors ...
Awareness of Cervical Cancer Causes and Predeterminants of Likelihood to Screen Among Women in Haiti.
(Journal of lower genital tract disease, 2017-01)
Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women in Haiti. Given
this high disease burden, we sought to better understand women's knowledge of its
causes and the sociodemographic and health correlates of ...
Successful treatment of pneumatosis intestinalis with associated pneumoperitoneum and ileus with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
(BMJ case reports, 2017-05-30)
Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI), or the presence of air in the bowel wall, is a rare
disorder that is associated with a variety of underlying diseases, including connective
tissue disorders. PI presents on a spectrum from ...
The Digital Drag and Drop Pillbox: Design and Feasibility of a Skill-based Education Model to Improve Medication Management.
(The Journal of cardiovascular nursing, 2017-09)
We present the design and feasibility testing for the "Digital Drag and Drop Pillbox"
(D-3 Pillbox), a skill-based educational approach that engages patients and providers,
measures performance, and generates reports of ...
TNFRSF1B +676 T>G polymorphism predicts survival of non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with chemoradiotherapy.
(BMC cancer, 2011-10-14)
The dysregulation of gene expression in the TNF-TNFR superfamily has been involved
in various human cancers including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Furthermore,
functional polymorphisms in TNF-α and TNFRSF1B genes ...
Correlation between base-excision repair gene polymorphisms and levels of in-vitro BPDE-induced DNA adducts in cultured peripheral blood lymphocytes.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
In vitro benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide (BPDE)-induced DNA adducts in cultured peripheral
lymphocytes have been shown to be a phenotypic biomarker of individual's DNA repair
phenotype that is associated with cancer risk. In ...
Dietary Patterns Associated with Cognitive Function among the Older People in Underdeveloped Regions: Finding from the NCDFaC Study.
(Nutrients, 2018-04-09)
Although dietary patterns are crucial to cognitive function, associations of dietary
patterns with cognitive function have not yet been fully understood. This cross-sectional
study explored dietary patterns associated with ...
Genetic variations of the ADIPOQgene and risk of prostate cancer in Chinese Han men.
(Asian journal of andrology, 2014-11)
Adiponectin secreted by adipose tissue has been implicated in prostate carcinogenesis.
Genetic variations in ADIPOQ are thought to influence the activity of adiponectin,
thus relating to cancer occurrence. In this hospital-based ...
Association of combined p73 and p53 genetic variants with tumor HPV16-positive oropharyngeal cancer.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
p53 and p73 interact with human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 and E7 oncoproteins. The interplay
between p53 and p73 and HPV16 may lead to deregulation of cell cycle and apoptosis,
through which inflammation/immune responses control ...
Genotypes and haplotypes of the VEGF gene and survival in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with chemoradiotherapy.
(BMC cancer, 2010-08-16)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major mediator of angiogenesis involving
in carcinogenesis, including lung cancer. We hypothesized that VEGF polymorphisms
may affect survival outcomes among locally advanced ...
