    Endocrinology 150(1):277-85 (2009) PMID 18801901

    We investigated the mechanism of ER stress-mediated apoptosis as well as the action of IGF-I in PC-12 neuronal cells. Our results demonstrated that tribbles-related protein 3 (TRB3), which is a target gene of CHOP, was responsible for tunicamycin (an ER stress inducer)-induced apoptosis. TRB3 could...

    We investigated the effect of homocysteine on liver regeneration. Our results demonstrated that mice with HHcy exhibited an impairment in liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy, as measured by immunohistochemical staining of proliferation cell nuclear antigen and bromodeoxyuridine incorporatio...

    For uninvestigated Chinese patients with dyspepsia with high background prevalence of H pylori infection and upper GI malignancy, alarm features and age, except for dysphagia in patients between 36 and 74 years old, had limited predictive value for a potential malignancy; therefore, prompt endoscopy...
