Associations of PI3KR1 and mTOR polymorphisms with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma risk and gene-environment interactions in Eastern Chinese populations.
(Scientific reports, 2015-01)
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PI3K/PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway
may contribute to carcinogenesis. We genotyped five potentially functional PIK3R1
and mTOR SNPs in 1116 esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) ...
Genetic variants in fanconi anemia pathway genes BRCA2 and FANCA predict melanoma survival.
(The Journal of investigative dermatology, 2015-02)
Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is the most lethal skin cancer. The Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway
involved in DNA crosslink repair may affect CM susceptibility and prognosis. Using
data derived from published genome-wide association ...
Steps to Health employee weight management randomized control trial: short-term follow-up results.
(J Occup Environ Med, 2015-02)
OBJECTIVE: To present the short-term follow-up findings of the Steps to Health study,
a randomized trial to evaluate the effectiveness of two employee weight management
programs offered within Duke University and the Health ...
Association of HIV-1 Envelope-Specific Breast Milk IgA Responses with Reduced Risk of Postnatal Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV-1.
(J Virol, 2015-10)
UNLABELLED: Infants born to HIV-1-infected mothers in resource-limited areas where
replacement feeding is unsafe and impractical are repeatedly exposed to HIV-1 throughout
breastfeeding. Despite this, the majority of infants ...
White matter compromise in veterans exposed to primary blast forces.
(J Head Trauma Rehabil, 2015-01)
OBJECTIVE: Use diffusion tensor imaging to investigate white matter alterations associated
with blast exposure with or without acute symptoms of traumatic brain injury (TBI).
PARTICIPANTS: Forty-five veterans of the recent ...
Patient expectation is the most important predictor of discharge destination after primary total joint arthroplasty.
(J Arthroplasty, 2015-04)
The purpose of this study was to identify preoperative predictors of discharge destination
after total joint arthroplasty. A retrospective study of three hundred and seventy-two
consecutive patients who underwent primary ...
Fear learning circuitry is biased toward generalization of fear associations in posttraumatic stress disorder.
(Transl Psychiatry, 2015-12-15)
Fear conditioning is an established model for investigating posttraumatic stress disorder
(PTSD). However, symptom triggers may vaguely resemble the initial traumatic event,
differing on a variety of sensory and affective ...
Adaptive intervention design in mobile health: Intervention design and development in the Cell Phone Intervention for You trial.
(Clin Trials, 2015-12)
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The obesity epidemic has spread to young adults, and obesity is a
significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The prominence and increasing
functionality of mobile phones may provide an opportunity ...
Genetic Variants of the MDM2 Gene Are Predictive of Treatment-Related Toxicities and Overall Survival in Patients With Advanced NSCLC.
(Clin Lung Cancer, 2015-09)
INTRODUCTION: Platinum agents can cause the formation of DNA adducts and induce apoptosis
to eliminate tumor cells. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence
of genetic variants of MDM2 on chemotherapy-related ...
Genome-wide association study of perioperative myocardial infarction after coronary artery bypass surgery.
(BMJ Open, 2015-05-06)
OBJECTIVES: Identification of patient subpopulations susceptible to develop myocardial
infarction (MI) or, conversely, those displaying either intrinsic cardioprotective
phenotypes or highly responsive to protective interventions ...
