Polymorphisms in the kinesin-like factor 1 B gene and risk of epithelial ovarian cancer in Eastern Chinese women.
(Tumour Biol, 2015-09)
The kinesin-like factor 1 B (KIF1B) gene plays an important role in the process of
apoptosis and the transformation and progression of malignant cells. Genetic variations
in KIF1B may contribute to risk of epithelial ovarian ...
Relief and Recurrence of Congestion During and After Hospitalization for Acute Heart Failure: Insights From Diuretic Optimization Strategy Evaluation in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (DOSE-AHF) and Cardiorenal Rescue Study in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (CARESS-HF).
(Circ Heart Fail, 2015-07)
BACKGROUND: Congestion is the most frequent cause for hospitalization in acute decompensated
heart failure. Although decongestion is a major goal of acute therapy, it is unclear
how the clinical components of congestion ...
Genetic variants in the TEP1 gene are associated with prostate cancer risk and recurrence.
(Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis, 2015-12)
BACKGROUND: Telomere-related genes play an important role in carcinogenesis and progression
of prostate cancer (PCa). It is not fully understood whether genetic variations in
telomere-related genes are associated with development ...
Cognitive Function: Is There More to Anticoagulation in Atrial Fibrillation Than Stroke?
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2015-08-03)
Impact of fibrinogen levels on angiographic progression and 12-year survival in the armed forces regression study.
(Angiology, 2010-05)
We assessed the role of fibrinogen levels on angiographic progression and long-term
survival among 111 patients with coronary disease enrolled in the Armed Forces Regression
Study (AFREGS). Baseline fibrinogen levels and ...
Impact of increases in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol on cardiovascular outcomes during the armed forces regression study.
(J Cardiovasc Pharmacol Ther, 2010-12)
INTRODUCTION: high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is a well-established inverse
risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The extent to which cardiovascular risk can
be modified through changes in HDL, however, is less ...
Contemporary trends and predictors of postacute service use and routine discharge home after stroke.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2015-02-23)
BACKGROUND: Returning home after the hospital is a primary aim for healthcare; however,
additional postacute care (PAC) services are sometimes necessary for returning stroke
patients to their pre-event status. Recent trends ...
The miR-184 binding-site rs8126 T>C polymorphism in TNFAIP2 is associated with risk of gastric cancer.
(PloS one, 2013-01)
TNFAIP2 is a crucial gene involved in apoptosis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
in its miRNA binding sites could modulate functions of the miRNA-target genes and
thus risk of cancers. In this study, we investigated ...
Association between novel PLCE1 variants identified in published esophageal cancer genome-wide association studies and risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
(BMC cancer, 2011-06-20)
Phospholipase C epsilon 1 (PLCE1) (an effector of Ras) belonging to the phospholipase
family plays crucial roles in carcinogenesis and progression of several cancers, including
squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck ...
Genetic variant of PRKAA1 and gastric cancer risk in an eastern Chinese population.
(Oncotarget, 2015-12)
Published data on the association between PRKAA1 rs13361707 T > C polymorphism and
gastric cancer (GCa) susceptibility were inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation
of the association, we conducted a large-scale ...
